Term 3

Kia ora koutou Ruma Rima,

Kei te pehea koutou?

I hope you are well rested and ready for a busy term.  Lots to look forward to:

• Speeches this week
• The School Show in week 9
• Art Exhibition in Week 4

Start setting  goals for what you'd like to improve in Reading, Writing and Maths this term.  I will be asking you about these.

Here are some of the finished paintings.  They look amazing and certainly make me feel happy when I look at them, just like Jenny Foster tries to do with her paintings.  Well Done!

Forces Inquiry

Forces Inquiry

We had so much fun working with our teams on our Inquiry into force

Here are some of the photos to remind you about what we learnt.

Balance - Card Challenge

Marble Games- Getting marbles to change direction

Air Pressure- Can we move a cup with a balloon?

  Ramp Investigation -

• How far will a marble go if we start from different heights?
• What would happen if we changed the surface of the ramp ? (Friction)

And finally our team challenge

The Great Marble Track Challenge -

To use Gravity to make a marble move for a long time.

The Finished Tracks

Well Done Everyone!

You really acted like scientists as you tested and made changes when your plans didn't work!
