Elf Yourself

Tylah

I have been in Room 10 for two years and I have enjoyed this year. My favourite memory was going to Forest Lakes Camp because there were lots of activities like the mud slide, water slide and ten pin bowling. I enjoyed it because it was fun and made me messy and I had a great time. I have learned a lot this year in maths like place value, compatible numbers, tidy numbers and more and that is why it's my favourite subject. Next year I am exited about Intermediate because I am in the same class as my friends and there is lots of classes for cooking and this is why I like Intermediate.

Our Great Holiday

In the holidays we went to the AWESOME! Rainbows End!.....WE WISH

Taking Risks with Room 1!

Rumours' Buddy
On Tuesday the 28th of June Room 1 came to Room 10 for taking risks. My buddy's name is Tazman and I supported her by cheering her on and helping her through every thing. I helped her through things that she was scared of but she could do the rest of the things on her own because she was brave. I think it is an important job because they will learn things on there own when they grow up. I learned that when you grow up you can figure things on your own by believing you can do it.

Tylah's Buddy
My buddy was Alaric from Room 1 and I supported him by saying you can do it. I helped Alaric do things he was scared of and I would let him do the things he knows. It is an important job so that when they grow up they will know what to do. I learnt that if you help them and teach them they will understand what to do when they are older like Room 10.

Statistics

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!!!'

MARS

Is there life on Mars?

No there is no life on Mars but there is life on Earth.

Camp

On Wednesday the 5th of May the year 5/6 from Lytton  Street School went to Forest Lakes camp, north of Otaki. At camp we were learning to develop self-confidence when faced with new challenges. A challenge that I that I over came was absailing, it was a challenge because it was so so high. Afterwards I felt happy. My favourite part of camp was the flying fox.
