Softball Afternoons

We have been learning how to catch using a mitt. We can catch a 'fly-ball' and a ball along the ground using our gloves like an alligator mouth.  Having three quarters of an hour out in the sunshine and fresh air feels great and we are having heaps of fun!

Yesterday Korbyn , Lachy and Taorai set up a CRIME SCENE for two girls to solve. There were 5 clues for the girls to solve. They had to do little experiments with a beaker, meths and had to boil some red cabbage. They had to do lots more experiments!!!

Korbyn made a Hot Air Balloon


Over the past week Korbyn has been learning about the concept of convection. 

He made a Hot Air Balloon to demonstrate this idea.

Korbyn used tissue paper, wire and cotton wool to make the balloon.

It flew up and over the fence on Monday morning.

STEM Volcano


On Friday for STEM we dug a hole in the sandpit today so we could bury a bucket to make a volcano. Tiffany used her hand and arm so we could pack the sand tightly around her arm to make a funnel. Then she carefully took her arm away and we poured some baking soda into the hole. Next we tipped quarter of the bottle of white vinegar on top of the baking soda. We noticed it starting to bubble and fizz and foam over the top. It didn’t last very long so we let the sand absorb the liquid. We then added a full jar of baking soda into the hole and gently poured the rest of the bottle of white vinegar into the hole.  The reaction was much bigger and heaps of foam and bubbles came out the top. 

Then we had a fun in the sandpit experimenting and chatting.
