The Zooming Cross Country!

On Wednesday the 31^st of August the Pupuke held a Cross Country. Firstly the teachers had to choose the fastest people in their class. The people who got in the finals got to go in the Cross Country. Harrison came 1^st and got in the finals but couldn’t go because he had the ski champs. We interviewed Anna who came 5^th out of the Year 6 girls. We also interviewed Maxine who came 3^rd out of the Year 5 girls.   

Anna: “I was proud of myself when I went in the finals”.
Maxine: “I think I did pretty well”.
People who did the Cross Country all said, “We enjoyed it a lot!”

Room 2's Fantastic Science Experiment

On Friday 7^th of July, Room 2 did an awesome Science experiment. We worked as a group of three. The experiment was about which material would be the best insulator.

 The experiment wasn’t perfectly fair because each jar had a slightly different sized surface and we also didn’t have a control. We had to bring four different materials to wrap around the jars. Then we poured boiling water and measured the temperature every five minutes. We also had to write the Title, Aim, Hypothesis, Equipment, Method, Results (table filled with temperature data and line graph showing organised data) in the correct order like a real scientist.

Our group was called A+ (which was Claire, Scarlett and Laura). Our conclusion was that the best material out of the four materials we tested, was the newspaper. The insulator that didn’t work as well was the wet suit material.

 Room 2’s experiment helped in our science learning!
