Preparing our speeches

We have been very bust preparing our speeches. We have researched symbolism and Kiwiana, organised our ideas and research on a mind map, typed our speech onto a Google doc, recorded our speech and linked it onto our blog, and finally we are creating cue cards to help us present our speeches.



Below is Janine's speech, check out the student blogs link on the left to hear some more.

Sausage Sizzle

This week Avaani, Alex and Riley helped cook the sausages. Looks like they were having fun.

Body systems

We have been inquiring into cycles within body systems. Avaani and Alex made the play dough for us to use and after some research we made models of our systems.

How does electricity work?

Today we had a go at using our Makey Makey kits. Our learning was to find out how an electrical circuit can be turned on and off.

Why? 
The light switch in our class broke and we haven't had lights for a few days. So we wanted to explore how the switch actually worked.

Update: 

We actually had lights because Nathaniel was very thoughtful and brought some lamps into class.
