Lung Capacity; Science Fair

This term we have science fair. Bonnie and I did a project on Lung Capacity. 

It is all about how to measure your lung capacity.  

We got lots of different people to come and test it out. 

It took us 2 weeks to complete this project and we are happy with how it turned out. 

Our science fair and 8 others have been displayed in the hall to be judged. 

The judge will be looking out for great layout and hard work. 

Hopefully our will get into the regionals.

We learnt that young people can have a large lung capacity as well as adults. Our hypothesis was semi correct because adults got a large lung capacity as well as kids. 

Please have a read of the slides below to  understand the project more. 

Term 2 Overview

This term has been another fun yet busy term. My most memorable and favourite part was the Jump Jam competition and the Gymnastics Festival.  

The terms topic was Retro Technology. This is the technology they used in the olden days. For this topic we visited the East Coast Museum of Technology where we found many fascinating pieces of tech that  had never seen before. As well as that we visited Electric Village and the Gisborne Museum. In the museum we wrote with feathers and ink and in Electric Village we learnt about new tech and how we use it. 

Also this term we have started a new play every Friday named "discovery." This is when you visit other classes to learn something new. 

We had a sharing in the hall about everything we did about retro tech as well as shared food for the parents who came. 

The Jump Jam team placed 1st in the Napier Jump Jam competition. We had so much fun traveling to Napier and staying at Kennedy Park.

We had a visit to the Life Ed Truck that came to our school. In this we learnt about friendship and what's most important in our lives. 

Every second week we go weeding a Hamanatua stream where we mulch and fix all pull out all the weeds. 

I loved this term so much and I can't wait till term 3!
