Thursday science news

For Thursday science news Andrew had a can full of water and spun it around and water didn't come out. This is not defying Gravity it's more just the water trying to go forward and hitting the edges and then clinging to the edges. Gravity is still trying to pull it out but the can catches it at the end this is not
called centrifugal force it's centripetal force. Andrew & Tiffany

Miss Whiteheads last day

This term we have had such a lovely student teacher Miss Whitehead. But sadly she is leaving us and becoming a real teacher. Miss Whitehead is kind, nice and a really good teacher. We will miss you so much Miss Whitehead. You're the best!!!! So today we are having a celebration party for her. But she does not know but I'm sure she has a clue why there is food on the table!!!!! We will miss you so much and thank you so much for being such a good teacher. Lots of love room 5.

Space topic

This term our topic is My Space, Our Space and Outer Space. We have been learning about space and the deep ocean. Also the planets and creatures that are under water. Here are some questions about space we did not know the answers to. How was earth created?How many light years away is Jupiter? How many stars are there?Are there aliens?How big is our solar system. Then we found the answers to them.

Cosmodome

Last Friday room 5 went inside room 17 and inside room 17 was a big igloo. It was the Cosmoome. Inside it was dark and big. Inside we saw pictures of the night sky and the planets also lots of stars. It was amazing!! The man told us lots of information about our planet and space. We also watch a movie about a solor eclipse. We think you should go to it you would get a lot of knowledge out of it.

Genius cafe

Today 2 people from room 5 went to Enner Glynn School to find out about the 'genius cafe' that they will be hosting at the Rutherford Hotel in Nelson. The hosts from Room 5 will be teaching the teachers from our cluster and helping them learn more about computers eg: Knowledge NET, Keynote, comic life, garage band and podcasting. They left at 9:15 am and will get back at 12:30. They will come back and teach the class more about podcasting and some other tips and tricks we hope!
