Science Day

What a great day had by all on the 14th November. The sun came out and so did the moon. The solar eclipse was a sight for sore eyes. Lucky none of you looked directly at the sun with your naked eyes. It was great to have the special glasses to see the moon going across the sun. I heard some of you say "It looked like a Pacman"

To finish the science day with water rockets added to the enjoyment. I think the lack of balance in the fins caused the rocket to shoot more horizontal then straight up. It didn't help having the wind we had either. I didn't take many photos but I got this video of the second rocket launch. Enjoy. Feel free to write your scientific reasons as to how the rockets work. You could even put in some diagrams. Just photograph your diagrams then save them on the computer to be uploaded onto our blog.

5 + Aday week

Get ready team! This week is 5 + Aday week. I know a lot of you have been waiting a long time for this to happen. Be prepared to get to know your fruit and vegetables better. You will need to put all those co-operative skills into action too.

See if you can work out how I got this wordle onto the blog.
