I can't believe it's the last week of term already! The time has flown by. We said goodbye to Miss Donald at the end of last week which was a bit sad for Room 11. She did lots of interesting things with the students and we are all going to miss her. We really enjoyed making anemometers (devices to measure wind speed) and testing them out and then modifying and improving on the original design.
Another highlight of the term was our visit to Otago Museum to do some weather experiments. Thanks to Martin (Alden's dad), Duke (Roshan's dad) and Michelle (Alexsia's mum) for accompanying us. After we did some cool experiments that involved dry ice, static electricity and making a cloud in a bottle, we had a look in the Animal Attic and at the Egyptian mummy before heading back to school.
And, of course, the fair was a huge success. Room 11 contributed by making lots of craft items to sell and did a bit of baking (Brain Attack Jelly and honey joys) the day before the fair.
Yes, it's true there is no homework this week! Term 4 looks like it will be a busy one with Athletics Day in Week 2 and then the Middle Team Production in Week 4 but more on that next term. In the meantime I hope everyone has a relaxing holiday.
