Good bye L.S.S

My name is Kerilee. I have been in Room 10 for 2 years. My favourite memory for 2011 was going to the army museum because we learned lots, it was kind of intense and it was fun like when we escaped from the trap. I am exited about camp next year because I want to try new ideas, it will be good to get away from my family and waking up early. I enjoyed the year 6 social because it was fun, there were funny videos and yummy food. I am looking forward to going to Intermediate and want to go there for at lest one year.

We are learning to balance on the big beam. To help us balance it is important that we:

• look forward
• have our arms out like an airoplane
• point our toes
  
• land properly

Kerilee was our expert at balancing on the beam today, look how well she did!!!!!

The 'K' Sound

Today we read the poem, "Wastebasket Brother" and looked at the 'K' sound.

See if you can find the 'K' sounds in this poem:

Wastebasket Brother
Someone put their baby brother
Under this basket-
The question is exactly why,
But I'm not going to ask it.
But someone, I ain't sayin' who,
Has got a guilty face,
Ashamed for lettin' such a lovely brother

Go to waste.

The letters that make the 'K' sound are k, ch, ke, ck and c. How many 'K' words can you think of?

Rainbows are cool.

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!!!!

'What goes up, must come down!!!'

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!!!!!!

I over came...

On wednesday the 5th of May, when the rest of my class were at camp, I went to the doctor.  We were learning to develop self confidence. A challenge I over came was letting the doctor puit my arm back into place.  It was a challenge because I thought I was going to have to have surgery.

Kerilee and Gordon

I am a great student. I love to read and write and best of all Miss Main rocks.
By Kerilee.

I like to meet new teachers and making friends. Another thing I like about school, is writing because we all get to describe our writing. Like the big dinosaur met the little dinosaur.
By Gordon

I like swimming and maths as well as making board games. I like play time and lunch time because I can make new friends and play with others. My favourite subject is writing and drawing.
By Kerilee

The second best thing about school is play time and lunch. You can play cricket and t-ball. We can hit the ball so far and close so we can catch the ball on the full. My favourite teacher is Miss Main. Persisting is my favourite habit of mind because we keep on trying.By GORDON.

I would like to get better at math and writing,because I find it really challenging. By Kerilee

I would love to get better at my art work because I find it really really hard to sketch from the book!!!. By Gordon
