Science expo

Here are some photos of the enthusiastic scientists in Room 5 sharing their science investigations and findings into Magnetism. We all now know that MAGNETISM is an important part of how our world works.

Everyone - Scientists and visitors - look so engaged and focused!

Life ed session 2

The Digestive System - session 2

We were introduced to Bob!

Joban knew where the intestines are. Ojas suggested the liver. Berenger said the stomach.

Alfie thought the digestive system started at the mouth.

Teeth, saliver and tongue were important key words for this part.

When we spew we spit out stomach acids

These are NOT sausages!  These are the intestines. They suck up all the vitamins and minerals to put into the blood.

The large intestine. This squishes all the waste from the food together.

This is the gall bladder. It produces bile.

This is the pancreas which manages our glucose.

Hana asked how our legs work so we looked quickly at our nervous system.

Finally we got to see Harold and tell him what we had learnt.

Sybilla was chosen to talk first and give Harold a hug.

Here is Jack hugging Harold before sharing what he had learnt.

Harold got us to dance and sing about being healthy. Now can you add a comment about other things  you learnt about the Digestive system.

Life ed

Room 5 went to their first life ed session where we thought about different types of food. We shared our favourite foods and then we had to sort them into: 

• eat lots of these each day
• some of these each day
• eat as treats.

This is what we first thought.

We had a go at sorting foods on to the food pyramid but we did get some things wrong.

What can you see is wrong?  Look closely and comment on where these foods need to be moved to. Make sure you write your name at the end.

Making artificial magnets in room 5

Br Oscar and Rhys

This year in room 5 on the first of September we were making artificial magnets. The day before in the investigation we were meant to make artificial magnets out of nails. but we couldn't get these to work,   So we tried again with the nails and then with paper clips and even a spoon!!! The strongest one was probably a spoon which picked up 6 paper clips!!!  We need to redo our investigation with spoons to see if the amount of strokes changes the strength of our TEMPORARY magnets.

Here's Hana picking up 6 paper clips with a SPOON!!! (It doesn't look like it but it is real.We idn't use photoshop). 

Here are some more photos of people picking up paper clips with artificial magnets.

Here's Holly who got the first 2 paper clips with a nail. (Room 5 history)
