CYCLONE SCIENCE
This week for Science the students in Room 26 connected two plastic bottles together, with water and glitter in one, to see whether swirling like a cyclone is a faster way to empty the water into the bottom bottle, rather than just letting it run through. The students had a lot of fun timing and collating the results. Swirling the water was found to be a faster way to empty liquid from a container. 

Faction Captains for 2017.

The Faction Captains for 2017 have been announced. Congratulations to the students who have been selected. We look forward to working with you.

Super Scientists Term Two 

The wonderful Super Scientist competition has returned for Term Two. The aim of the competition is to promote interest in Science and develop scientific understandings, with an oral language focus. The competition requires the students to give a 2-5 minute science based presentation. 

The presentation can take the form of an experiment, a demonstration of a science concept, or an oral report of a concept/idea. We are looking for the students to make sure that they are able to explain the science behind the experiment. 

We will be starting the presentations for Room 26 at the beginning of Week Six. We will need to choose our three class representatives that will complete in the Year Six final by the end of Week Six. Good luck to everyone.

Crazy Hair Day 

On Wednesday, Week 10, the school held a fundraiser to raise money for a shade over the bike rack. We would like to thank the Term One Students for organising the fundraiser. Mr Sherlock loved the day, as he had hair for the first time since 1993.
