This week in science we have been learning about the water cycle. We were filtering dirty water with a bottle, sand and cotton balls.
This is the water we filtered.

In PE this week we had Barry, he came in to do leadership training for the younger ones and he taught us some badminton. 🏸

This week in maths we had to do measuring, converting, probability and ratios.

In literacy we have been writing about our robots 🤖 that we built earlier this year

.

Yesterday we did a zoom call to learn about bats 🦇 it was really cool 😎.We learned about different types of bats and how they live and some other stuff.

On Tuesday a robot from Dr Who came to the school. He was called Tal. Tal is a Dalek and his robot friends are not very nice. He asked us to design a robot friend for him. On Thursday we made his friends out of K-nex. We used the design cycle to plan our robot based on a criteria. The robot had to be a friend but also have a purpose like carrying or lifting something. It had to be at least 30cm tall and have a moving part.
We talked about what robots are and Mrs Connell taught us how to make pulleys with K-nex.

On Monday, we visited Maidsafe where we created circuits with a battery and working light. We learned how to make a complete circuit and saw a 3D printer in action.
