Week 1 Highlights
Here are some highlights from this week.
Our Senior Team has started to measure our heart rates during exercise. This is 15 minutes of fast paced action! Can you see the determination to get fit?
Our maths unit this week is all about weight and capacity. In teams of three the students have to make a measuring device to weigh grams and measure volume. Next week we will be mixing some salt dough to make Koru necklaces. Stephanie is weighing some sand to create her own weight device. Her team found out that 1 litre weighs the same as 1 kg!
Samuel's team have created this weighing machine after many trial and errors! Their next step is to create some weights.
Zain is continuing with his 'Piece of Riverdale' picture. Our Connected 'big idea' is about symbols and how they represent ideas and concepts. We are creating some art that represents our Suburb by designing some symbols - birds, the river, the mountains, bushes - that symbolise Riverdale. Below you can see some of his sketch ideas that he got from researching other designs in a Maori 'style' on the Internet.
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product - watch this space!

Game On!
Our Connected big idea is all about the 'science of sport'. This involves all the forces of motion - gravity, speed, air resistence and heaps more!
his week we have started to observe and make explainations for what we see. We are learning to get better at - EXPLAINING OUR SCIENCE IDEAS!
In these photos we are measuring how high different types of ball bounce and why. Why do you think some balls bounce higher than others?
