Science and Technology Week




Something I enjoyed about Science and Technology week was...
- making the marble movers at home because my dad helped me. (Hannah)
- the egg mania because you were not allowed to test your egg before judging. (Jack)
- working in teams to complete the luge technology challenge. (Isabella)

Next time it is Science and Technology Week ...
- I would like to get the whole school in the hall and one person from each class gets up on stage and a teacher calls questions out to the people on stage like a quiz. (Dylan)
- I would like to design a new playground with lots of twists and turns. (Renae)

Book Week Writing Activity

We had to read each sentence and decide whether we would be more likely to find the sentence at the beginning of a story or at the end of a story. What do you think?
When we had finished Miss Rodger asked us to replace one word in each sentence so they were still interesting to read.

Finally, all the noise stopped and we went back into the house.
Finally, all the fuss stopped and we went back into the house.

We wished we had never opened that box.
We wished we had never opened that cage.

Once upon a time, there was a magical spider.
Once upon a time there was a venomous spider.

It seemed like there was nothing we could do to solve this problem.

It was the best movie I had ever seen!
It was the scariest movie I had ever seen!
