Our Super Heros!

On the last day of Term 2, the Year One classes celebrated 100 days of school.  In Room 5, we have a Super Hero called Zero the Hero. We were very excited when he visited us on our special zero day. 



We did lots of fun things in the morning, making our 100 day crown, building 100 brick towers and patterns and rolling a dice to 100.






Our other Hero, Mrs Barlow, takes us for Music on Mondays. 
Here we are at music playing instruments.

Ramp Experiments

We have been learning about friction and force for the last couple of weeks.  We have also learnt about fair testing. On Monday, we looked at how we need to repeat an experiment to see if the results are the same. We also know that we can only change one thing to make it a fair test.






Later on in the week we got into pairs and made two ramps with only one difference. Some pairs choose to make the slope heights different, while other pairs kept the slope the same but used a different material on their second ramp. We had fun testing our ramps and seeing which one was faster and went further.
This week we are going to make one ramp but use different things to see which one has the most friction.







This week's sounds are: short i, short e, ar, or
The words for the week are: at, come, is,  this

Have a great holiday and safe travels over the coming two weeks.
