THE END

Term 4 Project


in term 4 we made projects on a invetion. People did TypeWriters, Kites, a Can Opener, a Scissor, Saftey pin, telphone, etc. I did mine on a battery, it was made by a italian named Alessandro Volta in the earlier 1800s on October 23rd. A intresting thing i found out was that the battery was a combination of a 1 or more electrochemical cells. I did my project on the battery is because my friend Kevin so I wanted to steal it from him and i also wanted to do it on the battery.

STORM MAINIA

Yesterday there was a horrifing storm,heaps of people were freaked out and or crying either worried about their pets or just plain scared. i wouldn't blame them i almost SCREAMED. Heaps of trees have been pulled by the roots other trees branches had fallen big or small. Our classroom had the best view of the stom in action the wind was blowing the rain everywhere and the lightning in the backround and the sound of thunder one of the kids was doing compost and a mini hurracane allmost lifted him off the ground (but not someone from 4J).

Tawny Frog Mouth



Today a few kids spotted three Tawny Frog Mouths in the playground. There were two adults and one baby. The kids kept on yelling at them and they got scared, poor birds! One of them looked at me, STARED in fact and they open their mouths as they stare and that's not a good sign. If they do that they may start attacking.... so I backed away.

3/4Camp


Recently year 3 went to camp in Healesville. The camp was called Candlebark Farm. Every time you co to a camp you have groups for the activities and at the camp that we went to this year had Super Swooper is a really big flying foxing, little flying fox and much more that I can't remmber. We also had cabbins the best thing about the cabins is that there is a toilet and a shower in the cabin. Camp was SO much fun.

Fan Powered Cars

Recently in class, we made fan powered cars with Mr. Blamey. We were working in pairs instead of groups. I was working with Cathy. After we had made the cars, we had a race. I think that our car came 1st or 2nd, or maybe even last!!!! I think we had 4 turn rounds of racing, 2 turns each of letting it go, and 2 turns of catching the car.
