Spud Gun Fun - Science


We had a visit from Mrs Skiving today from the University of Otago. She came to do some science with us and it was so much fun. She showed us how to make spud guns, and talked about how it was a physical science, using friction and air compression. It was so awesome. We also used a slo-mo camera so that we could see what was happening, when we missed it with our normal eyes.  It was such a fun lesson.

 She finished 29th for the Year 4 girls.
 Luca was placed 16th for the Year 3 girls.
 Regan had a great run and he placed 3rd on the Year 4 boys.
Shannon ran all the way and she placed 17th in the Year 3 girls.

Student of the Week - Clifton

Clifton was nominated for this award by Mrs Crawford because she was so impressed with his kind and caring nature last week when he worked in Room 3. She said he was a really hard worker and he was very kind to the younger students. Mrs May had seen this lovely attitude towards younger students on other occasions, so it was a 'no-brainer' - Clifton was a very deserving recipient of this week's student of the week. Great work Clifton.

Student of the week - Shannon

Every week the students of Room 4 hand in their homework for marking and every week Shannon's work is among the best. It is always very well completed, super neat and with a little touch of 'Shannon' added for good measure. It is a pleasure to mark and Shannon, your work is a model for all others to follow. Keep up the great work.
