100 days of School

Before the end of last term we celebrated our 100th day of school. Some s tudents brought in soem AMAZING 100th day projects they worked on at home and some students bought in some food, like 100 cookies! Hard work! Well Done!

Speedy Science Review

We've been going over all of our science topics and have been doing a lot of hard, but fun work.

This is a board game about the plant life cycle

 The Biology teacher let us use her compound microscope to look at plant bits

We did an experiment to test which has more  thermal conductivity- aluminium or paper.

We made different 3D model habitats showing food web/chain connections

Greeeeeen Plants

We've been working hard in science reviewing all the topics we should know by now.

At the moment we are up to revising 'Green Plants'. In this topic we had a chance to do an experiment and make pretty diagrams.

Do plants really need light, minerals, the right temperature, water (and carbon dioxide - we couldn't test for that) to grow? here's our experiments ... We'll find our for sure soon!

Australia Day

On the 26th of January, Australia celebrates Australia Day. Usually there is a long weekend. Unfortunately for the East coast of Australia, there was a lot of rain. In fact there were floods. My brother's house went completely under! Not the best Australia Day for him.

On the Friday we tried Australian biscuits- Tim Tams! You can eat them normally, but my favourite way is to do the Tim Tam Slam- where you suck a hot drink through the biscuit! Here's the class trying a Tim Tam Slam:

Birthdays

There were a couple more birthdays this month: Minsung and Weronika! Thank you for bringing us little treats. We hope you had a lovely birthday!

There's 'snow' School today! HeeHee

Hi everybody. Today we are in a class of 3(Lucia Misaki and Samuel). This is because most of the public transportation is not working due to the recent snow fall. Luckily school is still open. Since there are only a few children we will have a fun time! We made our own time table for today.
Hopefully see you all tomorrow!!

From Samuel, Misaki, Lucia and Ms Deamer

Grade 5 Paris Adventure

Today, we braved the sunny but freezing weather and headed out to solve riddles around Paris. We got quite cold at first, but warmed up nicely at the Lourve. We did few activities at each place, had snack, took photos, had lunch and even got to play kickball at Champs de Mars.  Here are the riddles we solved and the photos are below:

Like a grey night owl, I turn my bright head,

Four legs I do have, yet I cannot tread

I am loved by day but I prefer the night

As every hour I wear a coat of shimmering light

I’m your grand old lady and I float on the Seine

My passengers are winged monsters, women and men

Sun through my round portholes will show

Ancient stories made of a broken rainbow

Folders I pass and papers I stamp

I say yes, no and maybe to a park or street lamp

In this grand old building important decisions I make

As I watch others play on a frozen lake

As the river of time flows gently past

I pick up some pieces so they will last

A rock, a head, a smile, maybe a mask

All kept in my safe pentahedron of glass

I’m like a stone bridge in the heart of a star

I remember harsh battles both near and far

I hope that this memory will help to increase

The desire for all to always have peace

Near the park, there’s a big red machine

It doesn’t need fuel, but children it seems

Beeping, clicking again and again

Children go home with a big full brain

The whole grade 5 enjoying the sun
