More Inertia investigations!

We had some more fun today with our inertia experiments, and we used Slo-Mo on the iPads to record what happened. Here are a few of our videos.

The Great New Zealand Shake-out!

It felt like it was actually shaking!!! It felt real. It was fun. It was squishy under the tables. Everybody did it sensibly. Everybody was being good under the tables, and nobody did it crazily! Someone said it was very uncomfortable cos she had to hold onto two table legs. Someone else said she kept knocking her head on the table!

We are glad we all know what to do if an actual earthquake happens!

Science Investigations -Inertia!

Today we have been exploring inertia. We have been trying to get an 'egg' to fall into the glass. We filmed some using slo-mo so we could really observe what was going on!

Icecream flavours

We have been working out maths about ice-cream flavours. Today we used the Maths300 software to help us. Here are the 24 ways Chelsea worked out you could make non-repeating combinations with 4 flavours.

Olivia's wind story

It was so windy the other day that we went outside to run on the playground, and feel the wind in our hair and faces. Here is the story Olivia wrote about it, and the picture she drew.

Daffodil Day

Quite a few of the Room 11 children dressed with yellow for Daffodil Day.

our writing

Lots of us in Room 11 are getting better at using our 'personal voice' in writing in a way that interests our audience. Here is an example from Peytin. You can tell she felt passionate about her painting.
