Reporter of The Day - Science News

Over the past week Miss Nixey has been modelling how to correctly present the 'Reporter of the Day' oral language programme each morning. As Miss Lonsdale is our teacher on Thursdays, she modelled the 'Science News'. She half a cup of water, and added three teaspoons of baking soda. She then stirred this. She poured this into a drink bottle then added some white vinegar. She then quickly put a balloon on top of the drink bottle. The gas created by the mixture went up into the balloon and it inflated! Does anyone know why this happened? Post us a comment about your ideas :)

Room 5 Makes a Class Wordle

Today in Room 5 we made a class 'Wordle'. A 'Wordle' is a application on the web which allows you to add text e.g. our names, then select colours, fonts and directions of the text to appear in the 'Wordle' that is then magically created into a fun text picture by the programme. Each student got to add in their own name themselves. One thing that the students were focussing on while doing this was learning to use the 'shift' key instead of the 'caps lock' key when typing a capital letter.
