Our Thoughts About Athletics
Fergus - I really liked playing in the sand when you run up and jump in it.
Katherine - I liked it when I won a race on the track.
Luke - I liked doing the races.
Aria - I liked it when I won 2 races.
Cooper - I liked the hurdles because you can jump over them.
Yassmine - I liked the running because I won 2 parts.
Jett - I liked the javelin because they go far.
Devin - I like the long jump because you get to jump far in the pit.
Matthew - I liked the one where you jumped into the pit because you could skid in the sand.
Charlotte - I liked having the running race because I put lots of effort into it.
Ayushman - I liked the high jump because I can jump so high.
Donatello - I liked the high jump because I kept jumping like a rabbit on it.
Zara - I liked having the race because me and Bridget ran too far.
Sophie - I liked doing the high jump because it was really fun.
Bridget - I really liked the hurdles because because my mum kept making me come to her.
Ashlee - I really liked shot put because when I did my first throw it hit someone. I tried it again and I got it straight and perfect.

FRICTION
Yesterday, we tried to make the balloon move along the piece of wool by taping it to a straw that was on the string. When we let the balloon go, the air came out, but it didn't move! Oh no!!
Today, we tried again. We changed two things...one was the length of the straw...we made it longer. We also changed the wool to nice slippery fishing wire. Watch what happened this time!!

Carolyn told us that it worked today because there was less friction. Just like if you fall over on slippery grass or wet concrete.

How Things Move

We are learning about how things move! Today we discovered how we could make a balloon move without touching it.

We could blow it up, tie a knot and then blow it with the air from our lungs.

OR we could blow it up and then let it go - our arms are showing what the balloon does then!!

Hmmm...what made the balloons move today? Can you explain this to your family? Could we make the balloons go over to Carolyn's desk? Why or why not?

Our New Mural
We have been waiting for AGES to see the new mural that Carolyn has been working on with some of the big kids. It got put up on Friday...it was SO exciting to see it. It looks AMAZING! We helped the big kids think of some of their ideas...now we can use it to help us with our learning.
Thanks!
Thanks!
