What is the Greasiest Chip?

For science today we were trying to find out what the greasiest chip is. We discussed how to complete a fair test and then came up with a hypothesis. Once we were finished our experiment we had a discussion about how we could improve this experiment.

Kia Kaha

Today we discussed our rights and responsibilities as a class and then played a range of games to help us remember them. We had some really great discussions about what our rights and responsibilities mean to us and how we would see these inside our class.

 

Science- Week 8

For science this week we headed to the moon! We worked alongside Takutai to design and build our own colony. We discussed what we would need to successfully and sustainably live on the moon. The children discussed what they would do with their waste and whether or not they could live waste free. There were some amazing conversations happening and I was so proud of what they produced.

 


 

 

Building Catapults

We designed and created our own catapults and then got to test them to see if they worked. We had a competition with Takutai to see whose catapult could fling things the furtherest.
