WOW Week Eureka

In WOW week we did science- it was very very fun. My favourite thing was the floating and sinking in Room 6 and 7.In the Room 7 floating and sinking I used my handball. In Room 8 we did what balls had the most energy- the answer was basketball. I think it did that because its bigger and it has more weight than the tennis ball. In Room 10 we did lung capacity- it was fun.
By Eligh

In WOW week we did lots of exciting science things. First we made chicken noises out of plastic cup, string and a paper clip. The noise was caused by a vibration. This is how we made it. We got a cup and Mrs Cowley and Mrs Belt made holes in the bottom of the cup. We got the string and put it through the hole. We tied the paper clip on the string on top of the cup. We got a tissue, we wet it then we pulled it down and it made the chicken noises. Some of them didn't work that well.

The Classroom


In the classroom when your all alone 
while  the other kids do cross country training 
all you can hear is people laughing and excited  
and the clock ticking 
and that is what you can hear.

The good thing is no teachers are yelling 
and we don't have to do spelling .

Thats what I can hear in a classroom.

WOW Week: Flight




On the 8th May Richard talked about the albatross. (Gabrielle)

At night the albatrosses have to get their food, do you know why? Because at night the squid come up to sit on the surface of the water and then it is easier for the albatrosses to get their food. (Tegan) The interesting thing was that they have very light wings. (James) Albatrosses can take off on land and sea. (Torenzo)
Albatross can smell up to 2000km away. That’s like from Nayland Primary School to Sydney. (Tahana) My favourite part was watching Cooper try to fly with the humungus white wings. (Tim)

Woven Characters



In our class we made woven characters out of black and white paper.

First we had to have black paper and you can choose to have straight lines or squiggly lines.If you want straight you get your ruler and rule a line at the top then under that line you rule as many lines as you can but don't make them too fat or too skinny.If you want squiggly you do the same and rule a line at the top and underneath you do squiggly lines without a ruler. Then you cut the lines that you drew. Then you get as many white strips of paper as you need and start weaving in and out . When you have finished that row you do the opposite to the second row. So if you started under your now going to go over. And you keep doing that until you get to the bottom . Then you push all the white strips up to the top and then sellotape them. Once you've done that you close it up to make a cylinder shape and then staple the bottom and the top.

Then you start to make a face to do the eyes you cut out circles out of some scrap paper and do the same with the pupils. Then cut half a circle for a mouth . Then if you want you can cut some arms out. Then for the finishing touch you can make some hair and cut some lines up the paper for the wavy loaks and you can curl them if you want and glue your hair on.

My friend Tim was in group 3 .The first activity that we did was paddle play- that means we get to go into the sea. Me and Tahana were splashing each other. Next we played on the playground. I played on the slide it was fun.

Elgregoe

On Wednesday all the Junior, Middle and Senior Syndicate went to Elgregoe.

The boringist thing was the trick where he poked a needle through a balloon without it popping because you just pop some cellotape on the balloon and then stick a needle through and it wont pop.
By James


I thought we were going to the foyer but we went to the Broadgreen School. The frist thing I saw was  the brick wall. He put three birds in the cage. He put a cover over it then it turned into a rabbit. 
By Tahana


When we went to ELGREGOE the man put 3 colourful birds in a glass box and put a cover over it and he took it off and the birds were gone!!! Instead there was a bunny! and he put a sharp needle through a ballon! and all the other ballon's popped without anything! and he made a puppet talk. 
By Olivia

Elgregoe is a magicion. He turned 3 birds into a rabbit. Elgregoe put fire in a metal box and it come out with a big green bird. He had a cool puppet called Cebore the dinosaur he loves songs. Elgregoe had an assistant and Elgregoe put the assistant in a box and he put bambo sticks in the box then he asked if the assistant is in there- she wiggled the bambo stick and then she was gone and finally he pulled her out of the box. I liked the music that was happening. I liked the rabbit. He asked someone from the audiance to pick a card and he asked him to pick a balloon and then 1,2,3 balloons popped 1 balloon was left and then he clicked his fingers it popped and that was the card he chose.

Swimming Sports.

On swimming sports day we went to the Nayland Pool to have races . Some people  went in the little  pool and some people went in the deep  pool. I went in the little pool.
