The World is a Changing!

Term Two has arrived and this term we are exploring Change in Science.  There are so many things changing around us in the world.  Some things we expect to change, some things we aren't even aware of and others might scare us a little.

We are beginning our term by just exploring.....thinking about what we already know about and then looking into what things in the world are changing that we haven't thought too much about.

If you are reading this post, we would love your thoughts, ideas, wonderings and concerns about scientific things that are changing in the world.

At the Apple Store!

Hi everyone,

Well I have made it through four days of full on Apple Time and am now back in Sydney at the Apple Store. This is the mothership of Apple Technology....so much cool stuff!

I have learned heaps and am looking forward to coming back to class and sharing lots of things with you. Hope you guys have a great start to the week and enjoy Life Ed.

Don't forget our shared lunch on Thursday and the times tables competition.

April Poo's Day!

Libby, Jake, Aaron and Kullen tried our new iPad 2 and the app Puppet plays yesterday. Their task was to experiment with the app, create a play and share what they learned. As their teacher, they were able to share a number of new tips and trick with me. I think they did a fantastic job for a first go using Puppet Plays....what do you think?

First Aid Survival!

On Monday the 28th of March 2011 in Room 1 at Pahoia School, Keri from St John came into our class and gave us some advice that someday might help us to save someone`s life. We were told how to put a sling on somebody, how to put bandages on, how to use saline solution, how to act when somebody is injured, which is to stay calm and not crowd around the patient. Plus not to say to the patient you have a massive gash on your body because they would freak out!

Our Principal Mr Wadsworth just happened to injure himself on the building site outside. "One of the support poles fell on me" he said! He stumbled into our class and had massive gashes in his right arm, left thigh and on the right side of his forehead. We were able to help him with all the supplies we had.

Island Shelters

As an optional homework challenge, Room One was set the task of designing and building a shelter from materials that they would find on a remote island. There were allowed to use two items that may have washed up on the beach from plane wreckage. Here are some of our creations.
