Science Fair

Today we visited the Year 7&8 to see their science fair projects!

 We saw how fizzy drinks rot your teeth!

It was great for Room1 to see an example of the science their big buddies in Room 24 are doing!

Hosting Junior Assembly

Room1 were the hosts of Junior assembly in the library today.
Our presenters Eli, Ben, Sylvie and Elodie did a wonderful job of introducing all the items.
You were all awesome Room1! It was so clever of Finn to talk about our Maui artwork and Fergus, Ferghus and Cormac to remember to use clear voices when they read their stories.
Well done Room1!

Mathletics Champions!

Well done to our Room1 Mathletics champions!
Bronze certificates to Ben, Eli, James and Sylvie and a silver certificate to Helena.
Congratulations!

Fairy Bread Fractions

In maths we are learning how to show and write fractions and find 1/2 and 1/4 of a set of objects.
Here we are making 1/2 and 1/4 with fairy bread.
Well done Room1!

Number Knowledge

Here are some examples of ways Room1 practiced number knowledge this week.
We made sets of objects to 10, then 20 and practised solving basic facts and number patterns on the white boards. 

Static Electricity

Today we played jumping frogs to demonstrate static electricity!
We made some tiny green paper frog faces and tried to create some static electricity to make them jump onto a balloon.
We blew up balloons and held them close to our frogs.
Nothing happened!
Then we rubbed the balloons against our hair and tried again!
The rubbing made our hair stand up on end!
When we held the balloons next to our frogs this time we could see the frogs jump high in the air and cling on to the balloons. The friction (rubbing) between the balloon and the hair created static electricity which pulled the frogs to the balloon.
