For every force, there is an equal but opposite force.

The air went down, the balloon went up.

Lorenzo, Tatiana and Ayman in the PEPA

I felt scared before I went on the stage. Once I was on the stage I felt a little bit nervous, but proud. At the end I took a bow. By Tatiana

I felt scared, then I went on the stage and started to laugh because I was happy. By Lorenzo

I felt shy when I went up onto the stage, but then it was fun and made me happy. By Ayman

Class 15 had the Museum come to them!

The visitors from the museum told us an exciting story.

We learnt how to use the Rakau in our war dance.

Alan put the duck in a rocket ship bottle, it was full of water. The chicken was outside the bottle. Then the children drummed for Steve. Justice pushed the pump up and down. We all cheered for Steve. Steve flew in the air and the music said, “I believe I can fly.” By Sione

Singing Glasses

Class made glasses sing by rubbing our fingers along the brim.

Science Day

We made electric circuits, with batteries, sirens, lights ad circuit breakers.

We listened to a coathanger banging against a hard surface. We discovered it was louder if we listened through string. This is because sound travels faster through a solid than air. 

Vibrations make sound waves we can hear. We can make the sounds loud or soft depending on how much pressure we place on finger. The pitch of the sound can also be changed by adjusting the amount of water in the glass. As you rub your finger on the rim, your finger first sticks to the glass and then slides. This stick and slide action occurs in very short lengths and produces a vibration inside the glass, which makes sound.

Class 15 had a science day. We had science in a van come to our school and in the afternoon we performed experiments. Listening to different sounds and discovering sound comes from vibrations.

The scientists in class 15 have been learning about Energy

Here is our energy movie. We shared it with PT England school on the news.
