Sophie J- Science Fair

 Today in class Sophie J shared her Science Fair project as she will be away next week. She has had limited time to do her experiment, but she got it done. Well Done Sophie!

Cheapskates

Today, the children in Room 3 had a visit from Cheapskates allowing the children to expeirment and experience roller blading and skateboarding. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
I thought the children showed some determination in learning the skill of keeping on their feet and how to keep balance. But with anything, the children had some very good wipeouts. Well, good for me because I got photos for our end of year DVD. Fantastic!


 Olivia tries not to fall by holding Miss Hawker's back.
 Jed = Wrong rollerblades = different size and colours. Oops!
Miss Hawker gets payback.
Who pushed you Liam? Don't be scared you can tell the teacher.

Science Fair

Science Fair Update

The children should have:
  • Identified a question and writen a purpose to why they are investigating this question.
  • Looked on the web to research the subject and to make notes using their own words to place on their Science Board.
  • After their research the children can predict what they think the answer will be to their question. (Hypothesis)
  • Identify their experiement and write a procedure for this. (95% of the class had their procedures checked and have been asked to type this up)
What they need to do?
  • Conduct their experiement.
  • Record the results for their experiement.
  • Purchase a Topic Board to display their work. (Able to purchase these from Paper Plus and Whitcoulls).
  • Bring board to school next week.
How can I help?
I have told the children to type their work at home, however I have given some children class time to type up their work.
If you have your children typing their work at home, you can email me this work so I can print it off at school. Also this allows your child  time at school if they are needing to alter or add any work, after I check it.

Science Fair experiments and boards are completed and handed in on Friday 2nd Septemeber.
