Science Raps!

We are learning about fair testing in Science. We were struggling to remember all of the different things that you have to do as part of an investigation, so we created Science Raps! We will share them with you here and once we have practised them, we might even be able to video them and upload them. We are really proud of our raps - what do you think?

Shervonne, Jannisa and Carey's Rap

Science is really fun, and this is how you do it.

First ask questions: how or why? Then your hypothesis.

Your aim or goal comes up next: what you are trying to do.

Experiments give you results, they're really important too.

When you get your information,you analyse, then present it.

Make sure you only change one thing: that is called fair testing.

A method is very important: it shows all your equipment,

and if you do it all correct, your results will be perfect.

SCIENCE!

Oh yeah.

Justine, Bailey and Paige's Rap

S-s-s Science What do you know?

S-s-s Science What's your goal?

Experiments are next

I hope it's the best

Now we gonna analyse the results

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Present your work in a really big burst

So your friends will think you're the bomb (Boom)

Now you know a lot about science

Cause we wrote the rap

Now you need to clap

YEAH!

Our buddy class, Room 13 came to visit us today and we taught them a new song. It is called 'Things We Remember'. It is New Zealand Music Month this month, so we were learning a song with a Maori chorus. It was really hard to say the Maori words so fast, but we think we did a great job. What do you think?

Learn about Volcanoes!

In Term 1 we studied all different types of safety - from Outdoor (for camp), Water, Technology and Disasters. We learnt a lot about how to staf safe in each of these ways. The highlight of the unit was the presentations of our learning. We had working models of volcanoes, plays, music and powerpoints.

This is a group of Room 6 students performing their play about the Mt Vesuvius eruption.

Our First Blog

Hi!
We are Room 6, at Sunnyhills School. We are a class of 28 Year 5 students who are very ICT savvy and can't wait to get going on our blog!

Last term our topic was Safety, and we did a project on safety related to Natural Disasters. We learnt a lot about Tsunamis, Tornados, Hurricane, The Bubonic Plague and lots of other cool things. We could decide what we wanted to learn about and we could present it in any way we wanted. We look forward to sharing some of our masterpieces with you!
