Our Air powered Creations

Check out the cool toys we made for our Technology Challenge

Very impressive.   Many of you needed to modify your design so that they worked better.  Well done!

They ALL move with air...

How does 'r" sound in words

Robot, rabbit and recorder.  Can you hear the 'r'

Hot air takes up more space than cold air

Today we put a balloon over a bottle so no air would escape.
Then we put the bottle in hot water to make the air inside the bottle hot and then in cold water to make the air cold.

This is what happened...

Hot water 

Cold water

For homework we have to blow up a balloon, and put it in the fridge overnight and see what happens.

Remember to take before and after photos!

Mrs Fongs New Arrival

You may have noticed I was away for a bit this week.

I was blessed to be present for the birth of my sister's baby Janneke.  Born 3:45 am Wednesday morning.

Here's a pic of her with her proud aunty

Our Parish Church

Solidarity day 2015

We  are  trying  to be a bit like poor people who don't enough food. They might be lucky to get a little bowl of plain rice.

We sat in a big circle quietly.

They are serving the rice.

We said grace before we ate.

We enjoyed eating the rice together.

It was yum. 

 

Then we got to play.

Air Challange...

Your mission, which you must accept, is to design, make, maybe modify along the way then bring  to school, a toy that moves with air.

Read about the challenge here: Air Technology Challenge
     Note we have changed to the due date:  Monday the 30th of March

Today we attached a balloon to a paper jet plane.

See what happened...

We forgot to film this with the class (it was exiting and did not do what we predicted) .  That was a an after shot.

Here a a couple of you- tube clips we have viewed in class to get our ideas going.
