Marbles


 Room 5  boys discovered  how much fun old fashioned marbles can be.

They used cut up swimming noodles as a marble run.


They had to test out various heights and distances to get the marbles into the garages.

This was such a great rainy day activity.

Trouble at the school gate.

Yesterday some eager writers went to observe first hand  a water feature at our school gate.




Here are some stories that were shared with the class and are now starring on The Good Work Table for the day.

Today I saw a burst pipe under the footpath.It was cool and the taps didn't work at school. (by Noah)


Today the water pipe burst on the footpath. The drinking fountain didn't work. I looked at the men fixing the pipes.(by Milan G)

Words that are highlighted were written by the children by looking for them around the room or they were spelt independently.
Letters that are highlighted were written by listening to the order of the letter sounds when the children said the word slowly.

The Real Art Roadshow

Today the children became art detectives at an art exhibition at Grey High School.


Each child was given a small section of an artwork. They then had to go and locate the exhibit it belonged with.

Mrs Drake thought this would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.The children proved her wrong!

Congratulations Leon who found 11 artworks, Noah  6 artworks and everyone else 3 artworks each. Great observational skills and perseverance Room 5.

Mass /weight


In class we have been learning to compare the mass of 2 objects.


        
Blake made 2 balls of play dough  that weighed the same. He changed the shape of the balls and the play dough still weighed the same.


Milan also had 2 balls of play dough that weighed the same.She then made one ball fat and the other ball thin. When she weighed them again they still weighed the same.

          
       The children had to predict the mass of these 2 balls. 

Everyone said the big blue sponge ball would be heavier than the small green play dough ball............ BUT


                                 They both weighed the same!
