Condensation (gas to liquid)

First we put ice cubes in the dry metal can. Then we poured some freezing water in the cold can. Then we waited for a few minutes. We saw condensation on the can!

I.C.T.

This week we got into pairs to practice our co-operative and word processing skills. We took turns to type our name using a capital letter. We typed a capital letter by pushing the shift button at the same time as the letter. After we wrote our name we used the Letterland software to practice using our letter of the week in different ways. Here are some photos of us using the laptops.

Rain Descriptions

We are learning to write descriptions about the rain. We had to use our senses to describe the rain. Here are some examples.


RAIN

The rain sounds like a thunderstorm on top of my roof. It tastes like water and ice. It looks like lots of gumdrops falling from the sky. It smells like lots of little cakes.

Tsunami drill

On Tuesday the 5th of May Muritai School did a Tsunami drill. At 10:00 Mr Skilton rang a long bell. We walked up the Mckenzie Road track. The year 7 and 8s had classroom numbers that we had to sit behind. We got up the track and in our lines in only 7 minutes! It was very well organised.
