Making a tea bag rocket

This week we have been exploring the 4 forces of flight- lift, drag, thrust and weight. In this demonstration we can see what happens when the force of lift finally overcomes the force of weight!

Our seedlings are now plants!

In Term One we grew spinach, cauliflower and bok choy seedlings in tea bags. We planted them in Room 7's garden and watered them every second day. Now, six weeks later, they have grown so much! They should be ready to harvest in time for Matariki later this term.

Welcome back- Term Two has started!

Welcome Back everyone!

Did you know that this week is "National Primary Science Week"?  In Room 7, term two got underway today with a really exciting science demonstration to get us thinking in a scientific way. 

Then we are celebrating as a whole school on Tuesday with the FIRST ROCKET LAUNCH using our new rocket launcher.

The science focus will continue all term, with an exploration of 'flight' and 'weather'. The Year 3-4 newsletter has all the details!

This week for homwork, instead of Spelling and Basic Facts, there is an ANZAC Day task for each child to complete. Details are in the homework book, as well as on the 'special homework' blog .

As always, a really busy and exciting time in Room 7!
