Diversity Games

We have amazing athletes in our school.  Last week they managed to win 35 medals at the Diversity Games in Athlone!!! Both Amdie and Natasha in our class were part of the team and did amazingly.  Below is a picture of the team. Also two videos have been attached containing Amdie and Natasha running in the competition.
Congratulations to everyone who participated!!!

Science Experiments!

We have been busy doing lots of science experiments lately.  We looked at how light travels in straight lines and how it travels through different objects.  There are three types of objects: transparent, translucent and opaque objects.  We completed experiments to discover which were which.
Take a look (we had lots of fun!):

Next we learned about sound travelling.  Sound vibrates and particles hit against one another to reach our ears.  With distance the sound gets lower and lower as the particles get further from one another.  We made string telephones to discover how sound can travel through an object (in this case the string) from the source (our voice) to the destination (our partners ear).  We had lots of fun making these too!!
