Soaring Experiment

Paper  Plane  Experiment

By Jack, Chica and Ashleigh

On the 25th of March we had an experiment for our Sinking, Sailing and Soaring topic. We made paper planes so we could fly it and record who could fly the furthest. Each pair had to choose a design they thought would fly the furthest. Each pair flew their plane twice, we measured and then recorded the distance.  

Jack, Chica and I would like to say a big 'Great Job' to everyone who participated in our competition. Congratulations to our first place winners Chica and Jack for their great effort on scoring a massive 16.25m. Have a look at the results table below.

Boy Overboard Chapter 4

By Clare

Year 5 have continued reading Boy Overboard by Morris Gleitzman.  In chapter 4,Bibi stepped in a mine while going back home.  Jamal ran to Bibi once he heard the news from Yusaf.  Jamal said to Bibi to take her foot off slowly and he will put his foot on.  Jamal told Bibi to go back home with Yusaf.  A few minutes later after Bibi and Yusaf left, Bibi came back and gave Jamal a big  hug, Bibi pushed Jamal off the mine luckily the mine didn’t explode and they were safe and sound.  Year 5 have created some comics on what happened in chapter 4.

Boy Overboard Chapters 2 and 3

We have continued to read Boy Overboard by Morris Gleitzman.  To re-read our post on chapter 1 click here.  When we left last time Jamal and his friends were playing soccer.  Bibi joined them and kicked the ball out onto the desert. 

Summary of Chapters 2 and 3

In chapters 2 and 3, Bibi went to get the soccer ball so Jamal followed her. They spotted a tank in the desert. To make matters worse, the soccer ball was stuck under the tank. Then Bibi started throwing rocks at the tank. Jamal told Bibi to go check on Yusuf and on the way there she stood on a mine. By Christian E & Mikayla

In chapters 2 and 3, Bibi kicked a ball into the desert and it went past a tank, so Bibi started throwing rocks at them. Jamal was really scared of dying because the tank aimed their guns at them both. Jamal told Bibi to go home, but Bibi said that she had already left a note saying that she has gone to play soccer with Jamal and his friends. By Luke and Ashleigh

In chapters 2 & 3 Jamal and Bibi went to get the soccer ball behind the crater but they realised it was stuck beneath the tank. Bibi wrote a note to her parents saying she was playing soccer. Jamal was scared they would get caught and their parents would panic. Then Jamal pulled the ball out from under the tank and heard Bibi screaming and the goalie told him “Bibi stepped on the mine”.

We found out about some of the rules that the children in Afghanistan in the novel must follow. These rules are called edicts. We then used google drawings to create posters of some of the edicts.

What do you think of the edicts?  Do you think they are fair?  Should Australia have similar edicts?

                                                                                                                                        

Values

In Religious Education we have been learning about values.  Values are all the things that are key in our decision making. They help us to make good choices and live a happy life.  Some values are:

Creativity: Is when you create something that isn’t like anything else.
Thankfulness: Is when you thank somebody for their actions.
Joy: Is when you are very happy.
Bravery: When you step up to do something out of your comfort zone.
Respect: Is when you are nice and thoughtful.
Love: When you care about another.
Teamwork:Is when you work together as a team
Sharing:Is when you give a piece of your share to somebody else.
Confidence:Is when you have the courage to do something.
Spirit:when you look at the world different from everybody else
Care:pay close attention to something
Grace:Is when you are careful with what you are doing.
Maturity:Is when you act your age.
Understanding: Is when you know what is going on.
Honesty: When you tell the truth
Achieve:Is when you successfully  complete your goal
Peace:Is when no conflicts are being made.
Leadership:When you take the role of being the leader of your group.


This wordle shows the top 3 values of everyone in our class.

“ITS NOT HARD TO MAKE A DECISION ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR VALUES ARE”.
