Nanogirl and the Year 5 &6 Extension Class

Yesterday, the Year 5 & 6 extension class hosted a very special guest to their google meet - Nanogirl!! She came along to teach us all about our bodies. This helped us with our extension project about how athlete's bodies move. We were joined by a few other children from team 3 and 4 as well.

Nanogirl taught us all about fingerprints.

Nanogirl taught us all about tendons and how they are needed to help us move our fingers.

If you want to explore some of Nanogirl's Science experiments and try some of them at home, check out her website!

Experimenting with Makey Makey at Bubble School - March 2021

On Saturday night, we were told we were going into our fourth Covid-19 lockdown for the Auckland region. With this, came our fourth time at bubble school! We are getting very good at this now! 

Today, the year 4-6 children in Bubble School pulled out the Makey Makey kits and had some great fun experimenting! We learned that rubber sport spots are not good conductors and that the metal paint cans hidden behind the whiteboard are!

Check out our movie:

Forces and Flight

Team 4 have been learning all about forces and flight. They have been learning about forces that contribute to something moving. The students of Room 10 were set a challenge to create a short movie to share what they have learned so far this term. Here is a collection of a few of the movies:

Term 2: I like to move it!

Kia ora and welcome back to our blog! This term, our inquiry is...

G.Jacobson (2018)

This inquiry is going to focus on movement, forces, and flight. We will be scientists this term, asking questions and experimenting to find answers to our questions.

The term started off with our Immersion Assembly. In this assembly, each team presented an item to announce their take on the inquiry for the term.  Read our blogs later this week to find out what happened at the assembly!
