Time is flying by so fast and the girls are excited but also exhausted at the end of the Term. We are all looking forward to the Christmas break. Today the girls will have a Zoom with their parents and this will be a lovely way to finish up before our holidays next week. The girls will be showcasing a variety of genres today: singing; playing recorder; making connections with their families around the world; showing how 6th class have been leading up to Christmas with our Fitmas Advent calendar, Wellbeing calendar and our Jesse Tree; displaying the stages involved in our Christmas 3D art projects; and our Christmas crib winner will show her backdrop to our school crib. Will we fit all this in our Zoom today??? I hope so!
Our final Art projects turned out pretty good and they are brightening our classroom in the lead up to Christmas. Well done to the girls on their team work and creativity.
Also this week, the girls discovered in Science that gas has weight. There was a little balloon popping to find this out but the girls discovered that gas (air) does have weight, as you can see here. There were two balloons balanced, when one was popped, the other weighed down proving that air does in fact have weight.
In our second experiment, the girls were given materials and they had to work out how they could use these materials to make an ‘Air-powered rocket’. Through a lot of discussion and questioning, we put all our ideas together to come up with this…
Only 2.5 more days of school, let’s make it a safe and peaceful one.
Best wishes,
Mrs. Power
