Just fantastic! Thanks Jude. I love it when boys bring in and share something that they have found interesting about their world around them.
The Year Six classes have started their sessions on looking at light and colour. We found out about the visible spectrum (and the electromagnetic spectrum). We experimented with torches and making shadows, how to change the size of them and the different sources of light. We did some experiments that looked at how light travels and then we had some fun using $2 shop laser pointers and mirrors. Each group had to reflect their laser beam using the mirrors and then hit their target pinned to the walls. Great fun and they certainly learnt about how light travels!
Year Five were fortunate enough to start their stream study yesterday and today before the wet weather arrived. Both classes were given the opportunity to explore and have a good look in and around our stream. How lucky are we that we have streams bordering both sides of our school! The boys really enjoyed lifting the rocks and a few managed to spot a few eels, fish, spiders and flying insects.
After our play and explore, we then spent some quiet time taking a closer look at our stream and sketching the path of our stream, noting the width of the stream and how shady and sunny the different parts are.
Then this afternoon we started putting together our new 3D printer! Stay tuned for further updates on the building of it...
