Talented Class mates

We have wonderful talented dancers and musicians in room 18. They performed at our Music school assembly on Friday.

Popcorn Adjectives

Popping corn kernels gave us a chance to revisit adjectives. We had fun describing the smell, how it looks, how it felt, what we heard. We all got to taste it too. We are learning to make our sentences more interesting.

             "Bursting up like a spaceship, popping kernels out." Rachel

"It looked like mini clouds bungy jumping 

into the white bowl."

Experiments on lift and weight (gravity), two of the forces that help aeroplanes fly. 

Model aeroplane

Paul came to school and showed us how he flies his model aeroplane.

MOTAT here we come

The day finally arrived. We were off to MOTAT with the rest of the Trailblazers to see the aeroplanes.

                                  The planes were massive. 
              Come visit us and see the book we made about our trip.

            Ricci is pointing to the oldest plane in the hanger. 
                                     It has an open cockpit.

"Let's go fly a kite, up in the atmosphere... "

After decorating our kites using wax crayons we tried to fly them outside on the field.
They were so light, they flew immediately, we just had to stand, letting out the string slowly.
We were so excited to hold onto a kite that actually flew!
