Weekly update - week 9

This week we have been having fun exploring magnets and discovering what they can stick to.
Taylor and Deborah found they could hold the pen up as the magnet was attracted to the spring inside the pen!



Aesop discovered that the magnet on the whiteboard could stick to his little magnet and together they looked like a mushroom!


Simaima found that she could hold the scissors up using the little magnets.


Alina found that she could pick up not just one staple but a large number of staples.

The art of print making

Over the past few weeks we have been exploring the art of printmaking. We started with making handprints and turning these into fish - using a thumbprint for the mouth of the fish.





These beautiful fish are on display in our classroom.

Pushing shapes with a straw

As part of our work on pushing and pulling we tried to push a range of objects with a straw. We all made a prediction about which shape ( a ball of newspaper, golf ball, ping pong ball and a marble) we thought would roll the furtherest. We then tested our predictions.


We discovered that we had different techniques of blowing through a straw and that Terina was very skilled at making all of the shapes move. Well done Terina.
