Energy.

We have nearly finished our inquiry into different kinds of energy and today every child was able to make a simple circuit successfully to make a light bulb work. Here are some photos of us working.

Simple Circuits.Do you think they will make the light go?

The Pompom Tree

Here is the end result of our wool construction. We all made a pompom and added them to our tree. What a great job!

Our Wonderful Teacher Aides

On Support Staff Day we gave gifts to Mrs Hepburn and Mrs H.S.

                                    Mrs Hepburn helps us with reading and writing. 

                                                 Mrs H.S. helps us with maths 

Hugs all round!

In the Pink

Today was Pink Shirt Day to support the anti-bullying movement. We looked very pink in our classroom and had some great talks about what bullying is.

Wow! What a bright class!

This is Lilly doing the weather chart with our pink pointer!

What is Energy?

We have been exploring what energy is and what kinds of energy we can think of. We have learnt a poem that explains what we have learnt:

                    

Moving Things.  

What makes things move? What makes things go?

It must be something that I don’t know!

What moves the trees? What moves a train?

What moves leaves along and down the drain    

What moves our car? What moves a yacht? 

What makes me move? (I move a lot!)

Is it something I can’t see?

Could it be something called ENERGY?

Anzac Ceremony

The ANZAC ceremony at school on Tuesday 28 April was a great opportunity to remember those who died in Gallipoli in 1915- exactly 100 years ago. Unfortunately the weather was not suitable for our usual outdoor event so we had it inside this time.

Wreath Laying and Flag Raising.

It was quite crowded in the Opawa Room.
