Peter's favourite moments at lytton street school

I have been in Room 10 for 2 years & LSS for 6. My highlight of my time in LSS is when I was in year 5/6 because in year 5 camp was my favourite. The camp was called Forest Lakes, it had a confidence course, mud slide, orientation, flying fox, water slide, bowling, and mini golf. I also had Miss Main as a teacher and she's nice as when she wants to be. Year 6: I have done heaps of stuff but only 3 things PREP was awsome, Miss Main best teacher, the Year 6 social was the best time of my life and DARE is another thing but I did not go because I got my gut cut open. I've learned a lot of things in subjects like reading, writing, and maths and I also want to learn more at Feilding Intermediate School.

Taking Risks with Room 1!

On Tuesday the 28th of June Room 10 and Room 1 went to the play ground and took risks. I supported my buddy by demonstrating what he had to do,helping him get up on the equipment, helping out and cheering him on. I helped him on the flying fox, monkey bars and the brick walls. It was an important job because we are helping them to take risks on the stuff they havent done before. I learnt that little people can do amazing stuff and do big things.

Statistics

First we went on to keynote and did a bar graph about our tossing 2 coins at a time. We had to toss it 24 times to see what is it most likely it would land on. We found that heads, tails is the most likely because it has a 50% probability of happening and the other two options only have a 25% probability of happening.

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!!!'

Earth, Moon and Sun

In Room 10 we have been learning how the Sun and the Moon affect us on Earth. We have learned that:

• the moon takes 29 and 1/3 days to make one orbit around the Earth.
• it takes the Earth 365.24 days to orbit around the Sun.
• it takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate once on its axis

This is why we have years, months and days.

We had a play with balls to show how the Earth, Sun and Moon are related.
Staring:
Sam: Sun
Peter: Moon
Kaea: Earth

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.
