Excursion to West Coast Park - Forces in action

On Monday we went to West Coast Park to test our ideas about forces.

I was on this skateboard thing that could go up as high as it can. I could go only 7cm tall because alot of sand was in it. by Gus

Bouyancy Experiment by Marzio

We had to make a boat and a ball experiment to test for buoyancy. We put them in a tub full of water to see what would happen. I thought the boat would float and the ball would sink and I was right at the end. by Marzio

Our Class Buddies 4M by Tatiana

4M came to 2RY for buddies. We did a experiment for buoyancy. We made a boat and a ball. We tested the boat and the ball at the same time.Our boat floated and our ball floated a bit because it had some space on the top.I had to write it all with out Ella. 4M had to go soon so we said good-bye to each other as Ella left. we enjoyed having our buddies. by Tatiana

Piper the risk taker

This week Piper and her friends decided to put on a 'show' for the class. I think they were comedians! Great job Piper!

Letter to 2RY about our playground by Ashton

Good afternoon students and parents.
 Our oval and play area is being left with rubbish and equpment. My idea to reduce the rubbish is to introduce nude food. This is where we bring food to school with no plastic and we have a food waste basket for things like apple cores and banana skins. To stop the equiment being left out maybe we can have a different bell 5 minutes before the real bell to let as know to put the balls away and  to pick up 1 piece of  rubbish each and get ready for class. If we all do something little we can make our oval clean and safe.  Thank you
