Volleyball - Year 4 & 5

Today I was lucky enough to go with the Year 4 & 5 students to the MPSSA Volleyball Tournament. It was such a proud moment for me, each of the students gave their all and had amazing sportsmanship. So much so that our school received the Girl of the Tournament certificate. There were 26 teams so this was an awesome feat. Well done Daneka! Attached are some photos of our day. Hope you enjoy.

Marshmallow Experiment

We decided to put two marshmallows in a microwave to see what happened to them. We all had to make predictions by writing out a hypothesis and then we had to write down the process of what happened. The first time we did it we burnt the marshmallows (very smelly)... don't tell Mrs Holley... The second time we did the experiment we only put them in for 30 seconds and it worked heaps better. The marshmallows blew up to four times their size while being heated. When the cool air got at the marshmallows it hardened instantly turning it into a toffee like substance. We learnt about air, water and bubble particles and how they react to one another to get this effect.

Soccer Drills

We have been learning to kick a soccer ball around without losing control of it, so we put some cones out and had to zig zag through them with a ball. It was hard trying to not hit the cones and try and kick quickly without losing the ball by kicking too hard. Good job guys for being resilient and pushing through even when the ball had a mind of its own...
