Country Cross

Hi, Robbie here, I am here to tell you about my cross country run today and this was a different run because it was there all thing. We did it down at the pines. Cross country is were we have to race across land.
I made my way to the starting line. I felt really nervous doing it. " ON YOUR MARKS, SET"...   Slam! the race was off.

We had to run down the hill to the road, were we came to a turn and went up a slope. I ran past the cheering crowd. Next I ran up the sand hill and to the ditch. After a ran through the ditch I went back to the path. Then I ran to the finish line then did it again.

Finally I came to the finish line (again), I think I came 7 OR 6. I gave my mum a hi five and went back to sit down.

Enlightening Science

Hi I'm Robbie, back on my blog.

This week we are doing Enlightening me for our House of Science box. The learning we did was about how light reflects off mirrors. A mirror is something that reflects light. Reflections of a mirror is when light hits it. When you put mirrors together on an angle the image comes to more then less. When you put mirrors in a parallel lines the light bounces causing the Reflections to be infinite.  We got 2 big mirrors and we reflected a object, it came up over and over again.Our next task was were we got 2 big mirrors (Concave and Convex) Concave, in words makes the image increase, the Convex makes the image decrease. We had to find out which was which.

Five Facts on Light

1. Two scientist had an argument about what light was made of.
2. Light bends around corners
3. When light hits a prism it turns into the color of the rainbow
4.  Light is a white beam
5. No one has agreed what light is yet!

I believe light is energy. I liked learning about light.

Science!

Hi Robbie here, I'm going to tell you about my science experiment. First we had to add salt, water and food coloring into a balloon then put it into the freezer. The next day we opened the balloon and put the ice in a container. Then we saw if the melting ice affected the water level, it didn't. We learnt that the water level stays the same when ice caps melt.

 Are first activity was were we sorted the Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere and Hydrosphere. Next we sorted it into Jenga blocks and started playing. We learnt in this activity that when you take a sphere away from the earth it will affect the other spheres making the earth unstable.

 In this activity we got a inflatable globe and chucked it back and forth between a buddy and put a mark on were a thumb landed. We learnt in this activity that there is more water then land on the earth, 70% water 30% land.

My favorite thing was trying to map out were the places were.  We were doing this because are solstice is on Friday 21 June!

Basic Facts

Hi Robbie here to tell you about my basic facts priority. So every week I have to to basic facts, my favorite part is the Time Tables. The part I find hard is the key skills, the easy part is the Mental Strategies. I set myself a challenge to only highlight one of my Key Skills 

Here is a photo of my basic facts.
