Science - Forces


We were experimenting using our own body weight which was stronger, a push or a pull?
Before, during and after experimenting we used a POE (predict, observe, explain) cognitive organiser to focus in on the science of forces....

Hey Room 11!
Its Luc here, and I hope you all had some great holidays! Some of us did really well with their sports and others, just had an awesome holiday!
So as we all know, its our last term here at Mapua, so it will be a fun one! Some things I am looking forward to is ...
WHENUA ITI: Since we are now year 8's, we can go on the pamper pole and the high ropes! I am really excited!
T4 DISCO: Its really fun organising it, so I am sure the real thing will be fab.
YEAR 8 DAY OUT: Also really looking forward to this one, because we get to choose what we do, and I am sure we will come up with some cool things!

Holidays!!!


Everyone had great holidays! Well at least I think, some people went over sea's, others went around New Zealand. I went to Christchurch and got to experience some of the 2 big after shocks. They were scary!! One of them was when we went to bed. We had one in the morning so I woke Daniel to tell him but all I got was a slap in the face for waking him up! And I went to Palmerston North to visit all my family which was really cool because we hadn't seen them in ages! On the way there and back we made a few detours to visit some other friends we hadn't seen in ages too!
