Our sound for the week was ‘ture’. One of the words we looked at was caricature. We decided to create caricature drawings based on the characters in the novel Holes.
Look at our amazing drawings!

Fionn Mac Cumhaill
We read the legend of Fionn Mac Cumhaill and created pictures based on it!
Take a look at our pictures! 🙂
Designing and Making Bridges
This week in Science we were designing and making bridges! The bridges we made had to have the following features:
(1) It had to carry a span of 50cm. This means the bridge had to stretch across a gap of 50cm in one go.
(2) It had to be strong enough to carry a load of 1kg.
(3) It could only be made using newspapers and magazines.
We found it difficult in the beginning but we made some amazing bridges in the end! Take a look at some of our bridges below!
Lets be Active!

Perspective Drawing!
Room 15 studied how to draw perspective with a vanishing point. Look at our displays!
The Great Bone Expedition!
We were palaeontologists last week. We excavated a site. We found the bones of this animal!
Palindromes
We are about to start the novel Holes. The main character is called Stanley Yelnats. Stanley Yelnats name is a palindrome! A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards. We have had some fun with palindromes. Can you guess what they are?
Force and Motion.
We used cars and different materials to find out the effects of each material on the speed of the cars. The materials we used were tissue, tinfoil and a tea towel. We discovered that the car moved slowest on the tea towel.
Then we used the cars with ramps to see how the angle of the ramp impacted on the speed of the cars. We found that the car moved fastest on the steepest ramp.
Science is fun!
We are Superheroes!
Look at our Superhero pictures! We are all unique. We are all special.
Rain Gauges
We have been studying weather over the last couple of weeks. We made rain gauges in our classroom using plastic bottles and rulers. We put the rain gauges in the school garden and we will measure the levels of rainfall throughout the week. Hopefully there won’t be too much rain!
