The Music concept group have been learning how to be Foley Sound Effect Artists. We made our own shakers and made a soundscape for the fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk.

Making Music with Newspaper

The music performance group were thinking about what some Maori superheroes would sound like. Here are their performances;

Amazing Astro-Physicist Squad

We have been learning about planets and the sun. Today we drew around our shadows to see the effect of the sun.

Mrs Snow taught us how to dissect a squid and make observations like a scientist would. We were also curious and came up with lots of wonderings.

The Amazing Astro-Physicist Squad

During concept time the AAPSs (Amazing Astro-Physicist Squad) were learning about planets in our Solar System. They set themselves up to represent all the planets and how far away from the sun they orbit. The sun was the gate at the far corner of the field and Neptune was on the hill by the sports shed.

We then explored the impact gravity has on us by rolling down the hill!

And then we made are our arms "weightless."

Finally, we used our Sequencing skills and sequenced the planets by distance from the sun, temperature, length of a day and size.
