Week 8

ART
During Art time we have been experimenting with different painting techniques and colours. For this task we looked at sunsets and the use of warm colours. We painted our sunsets then added a tree silhouette, using a black jovi or black vivid. Here are some examples

Friday Sport

Josh

Dylan B - I am in the Year 5/6 football team and we play every Friday at Hagley Park. I am a mid fielder but have played in the goal sometimes. I enjoy playing against other schools. John Martin is also in the team but he is away at the moment. He sometimes plays in defence. 

Dylan F - I play rugby union for the Year 5/6 team. We play every Friday and it's lots of fun,  I have learnt how to tackle properly. I am a forward lock in the scrum.  





Inquiry
Today we did an experiment to see if raisins could dance.
first Julie told us a story about a circus and how they needed to make raisins dance.
Julie got some water and put seven raisins into into the water but nothing happened, so we thought we would try soda water. Julie put us into groups of 4 and sent us to our tables.
Then each group got a glass, seven raisins and  soda water.
After that we tipped all the ingredients into the glass and watched the raisins, eventually they moved. 
The raisins started floating upwards and after about 20 seconds they sank back down, so it looked like they were dancing.
The air in the fizzy drink stuck to the raisin which made it buoyant and float to the surface. The air bubbles popped and the raisins sank back down.
This was a fun experiment to try especially because we got to eat raisins after that.

On Monday morning we had a visit from

Amy (ASB) to talk about money. 

We found out the  difference between Debit and Visa cards.

A Debit card is your money and a Visa card is the bank's money. 

You should never give your pin to other people.

We can do chores to earn money and it is important to spend some but also save some.

We should shop around before making a purchase.

The session was fun
