What do you think?

W.A.L.T 

Question: What are we trying to find out? How to get out of quicksand.

Hypothesis: (What do you think will happen? Give a reason) I think the guy who said that he will try to swim slowly will make it to the other side.

Procedure: (We are going to test it by.  List steps)

1. Make some quicksand
2. Drop a block head into quicksand
3. Get a figurine we used block heads.

4. If the block head floats then the experiment had succeeded. Results: (Was your hypothesis right or wrong?)We were wrong because we thought that the figure was going to float but apparently it sank right to the bottom    Conclusion: (We found out) 

5. We found out that the square head is lighter than the body.
6. When we put the blockhead in the quicksand the body sank and the head floated. When we used a different figure with a round head the body sank like the blockhead                              

Cross Country Goals

I.A.L.T. practice frequently, at least five times a week, 30 laps around the school field. Running helps me focus. Last year I came fourth, this year I want to at least come in the top three. But my Mum said, "It doesn't matter if you come last, it's all about having fun"

Joy Cowley's Favourite Ice Cream Recipe

Choco and M and M Icecream

This week for reading our group (Kaitlin, Nevaeh and Zara) read a story about Joy Cowley who lives in an isolated area Seventy kilometres away from ice cream. Ice cream is one of her favourite treats so she has to make her own. We followed her recipe but chose to change the kiwi fruit for Chocolate and banana M and M's. Next time we will not add as many chips and M and M's and we'll make a triple batch so the whole class can have a taste.

            

Critter Alliteration

W.A.L.T. write an alliteration describing a relationship between two creatures. We used a shared Google Doc to write our alliteration. In a shared Google Slide we had to add a background then inserted png images of the critters.

Fractions Chart

W.A.L.T. to make a fractions wall. First we had to cut twelve pieces of paper the same length.  First we glued one whole strip, then we folded another strip in 1/2 before cutting it in half and gluing it on our wall. We repeated this process in 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/12ths. We saw patterns when we cut 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/12. We saw another pattern when we cut 1/3, 1/6 and  1/9.  We saw another pattern with 1/5 and 1/10. I think that the most difficult step was making sure that all of the strips were the same length.
