What is flying?

This week we started talking about super heroes that can fly.  So we asked ourselves "What is flying?"  Here are some of our ideas.

WE LOVE SCIENCE!

Ivy was really keen to do MORE SCIENCE experiments.  We wanted to link it to our inquiry 'Against All Odds'.  So we watched a leopard seal swimming to give us some ideas.  We watched the leopard seal swim and glide through the water.  It floated and dived under the water.



Here are some our questions we would like to test...

Science Experiment

On Wednesday last week Room 9 did an experiment about warm and cold.  We put a bag in another bag and put cotton wool in betwen the bags. We also did it with butter.  Then we put water and ice in an ice cream tub.  First we put the cotton wool one and an empty bag in the water and ice.We all took turns to put our hands inside the bags.  Then we had to tick our sheets to explain which one kept our hands the warmest.  (Caleb and Mairi)

Watch the movie that Nikita and Zoe made to share our learning.

Watch our voicethread to listen to our predictions and explanations about what we have learnt.  We tried to use extended abstract thinking to link our experiment with the real world.  We wanted to find our how animals survive against all the odds in a cold environment. (Tyler and Miss Watts)

Key Competency: Thinking

Team Member

We looked at the role of Team Member.  We think that a Team Member would:

• Join in
• Be a good listener
• Use their manners

A team member would say:

• "Do you want to be in our group?"
• "Please can I have a go?"
• "Can I help you?"
