Big Bang

 Muritai School has enjoyed a super Science Week with teachers and students involved in science experiments and investigations every day. To celebrate the final day Mrs Ryan and Mr Macmillan organised a Geyser Tube Challenge for the whole school.



 Every class chose a student (we chose Ori) to pull the pin on a tube of Mentos which then dropped into a bottle of Coke. The resulting acid - base reaction shot a geyser of bubbles 15 m into the air.

  Congratulations to the winners -Year 5 and 6.

We have been talking about how the Earth moves round the Sun. When the sun is shining on our part of the Earth it is Day. It is Night when the sun is not shining on our part of the Earth.One spin of the Earth makes one complete circle of Day and Night.It is the Earth that moves - not the Sun.   




Developmental time on Fridays continues. Here are a few snapshots of the various activities on offer.

Last term Room 3 had Performing Arts lessons each week. They learnt lots of different dances. On Friday, they shared one of the dances that they had learnt at the Full School Assembly. The audience sang as they did the dance. We hope you enjoy it!

  Diwali. We have been working hard during our Inquiry time learning about festivals and celebrations.The Indian festival of Diwali is centred around Light so we have been busy using our collage skills to create beautiful candles. Collage requires Patience and Perseverance. Well worth all the hard work though!! .     We also painted our own beautiful D iva's-  small candles which are placed around peoples homes during Diwali.   Lights welcome the New Year and create a happy festive atmosphere. Come into Room 3 and see what you think!

We are enjoying working with Mrs Hooke doing Performing Arts on a Thursday morning-moving to music and learning to make interesting shapes with our bodies. We also enjoyed having some time on Friday to construct models using old boxes,egg cartons etc.When describing our models we tried to think of interesting words. We spoke clearly and listened to each other.Some of the models were constructed in teams and we all co-operated together.    It's so enjoyable to work together. Well done Room 3!
