Have Fun in New Caledonia, Alex!

I miss Alex because it is his last day. 
Rata Rua is having special morning tea. 
I liked the food. 
Thank you Alex.

Windmills

I blew my windmill. It was fun. It goes itself. It was windy. The wind blew my windmill. I ran fast. You get to blow your windmill. It was fun. It goes itself when you go outside.

On Friday we made windmills. i made a pattern, spotty and flowers.

Congratulations

They write so many words snip snap.

We have all learned to spell lots of words to use in our writing!

Our writing is awesome.

Learning with Ole Soccer...

A force is a push or a pull

A Push or a Pull can make toys move.

We did an experiment using air from a balloon to push a straw along a piece of string.

Then we made a toy car using a balloon to push it along...

I wonder what toys Rata Rua will design and make?

How does your toy move?

Read all the great words we used to describe how our toys moved.

pull                      on/off switch         lever         wind it up           push                    tracks and gears          wheels                  throw                press a button      turn

batteries              spring and key

We wonder...How do wheels work?    

             Why do wheels turn around? 

       What helps wheels to turn?

Toy Day

We are finding out about toys.

We brought a toy to school and talked about how our toy moves and what materials it is made from.
