Every Drop Counts Investigation

We have been visiting Hayes Stream, a 10-minute walk from our school, to see how healthy the stream is. We have done a range of experiments including measuring the temperature, the depth across the stream, the flow of the stream. 

 

Each time we have been down we have collected a black sack of rubbish, which is rather disappointing.

Mini Olympics

Mrs AhFook thought we could have a fun day with our two student teachers while Mrs Mundy was away.  We have a range of fun activities to complete practising skills we would need when we go to the local stream to carry out experiments on the water quality. 

We had a lot of fun!

Getting out and About - Preparing for Every Drop Counts

We took a walk down to Hayes Stream where we are going to investigate the water quality and animal life.

Life Cycle of a Bird

We are creating a life cycle of a bird, first we discussed that it goes round, like life it is never ending. We end listen to the song from Lion King - Circle of Life.

After drawing the different stages we used playdough to create the stages.

 

Here is students working on their in class.

Mixing Substances

WALHT create a substance that is strong enough to make a structure. This could be to accommodate an animal or a group of people. Or even hold up a fence post.

I learnt how to make concrete, even when we added dirt it still set hard as rock

Next we are going to try and make a pencil holder using concrete. It will be interesting to see how it is different to the plate we made using clay.
