Time at LSS

I have been at L.S.S for 2 years, in that time my favorite thing would definitely have to be the year 5/6 school camp in my first year because of the abseiling / rock climbing,confidence course, and the flying fox.

I am looking forward to having more opportunities to get involved in things like sport.

The thing I am proud of from this year is that I got involved in Kapa Haka and Road Patrol and didn't just do what I had to.

Statistics

We had 40 counters, 20 blue and 20 pink after we got a counter out we didn't put it back in the container so the probability changed each time we pulled out a counter.

Why do we have sunsets?

Today in theme we were investigating why the sun makes the colours it does when it goes up and down. We did an experiment to investigate this.

Aim: To find out why the Sun makes different colours when going up and down (sunset and sunrise)

Equipment: A glass, a torch or overhead projector, a spoon, water, milk a sheet of white paper.

Method:

1. Fill the glass with water and stand it in front of the white paper.
2. Shine the torch through the side of the water-filled glass in the direction of the paper.
3. Observe what light strikes the paper. What colour is the light?
4. Add a few drops of milk to the glass and stir through ( Don't add too much milk - just enough to make the water slightly cloudy)
5. Shine the torch through the side of the glass like in step 2.
6. Observe what light strikes the paper, what colour is it now?
7. What does this mean for us on Earth?

What happened?
The water with no milk in it reflected clear onto the screen. The milky water reflected orange onto the screen.

What this means for us on Earth?
White light is a mixture of all of the colours in the spectrum. when you sine white light through a jar of milky water. The tiny milk particles scatter the blue light in all directions, and so not much of this blue light ends up striking the paper. This effect is called Rayleigh Scattering. Red light is not effected in this way. Instead it passes through the milk and can be seen as a bright orange tint on the paper behind the glass.

Rayleigh Scattering also causes Sunsets. During a sunset only the red and orange light rays get through the atmosphere directly. All blue colours are scattering by tiny particles of dust in the atmosphere. The Sun and sky therefore appear reddish orange and they light up the clouds in the same colour.

Forces

Today in theme we investigated the different forces on the Earth.

Aim: To find out why and how we stay on Earth

Equipment: Ourselves, bucket, and water.

Method:

1. Fill bucket 1/2 way with water.
2. Pick up bucket with dominant arm.
3. Swing bucket around body like doing freestyle as fast as you can.

What happened:
The water stayed in the bucket because we spun the bucket and the force kept the water at the bottom of the bucket.

How this affects us on Earth:

• The Earth is covered in water.
• The Earth is spinning on its axis.
• That is why we have gravity.

Gravity is the force that keeps us on the ground!!!!

PLUTO

How cold is Pluto?

Pluto is around about -240 degrees Celsius,

that is so cold that nobody can get to it without freezing to death.

Production

Last week the whole school was involved in our amazing production, Chocolate Fish, Gumboots and Number 8 Wire. It was a variety show that showcased kiwiana at its best. Our class item was a dance to the gumboot song. Here are some of the photos from the show.

Keith Haring

In Room 10 we have been appreciating art. We have been studying Keith Haring, an American artist.

We will know we have been successful when our art:

• is covered using bright bold colours.
• has action lines.
• conveys an emotion in cartoon style.
• is eye catching.

Let us know what you think!!!!!!
