Science

At school we have learnt three different new experiments... Paper and Card helicopters, mini parachutes, a balloon rocket and even seeing a big model plane being driven around the school field. Through out our experiments be conducted a fair test while changing one variable. So we did 2-3 tests on each experiment testing them exactly the same apart from one thing different on one of the tests. We wrote down what we thought would happen (hypothesis/prediction)and what you would you would need to make it then we observed which one worked better. After that we drew a labeled diagram and a conclusion which tells you if the hypothesis was correct or not!

Swimming Lessons with Room 10

At School we did swimming lessons at starfish swim school. We were first observed by Laurie the head instructor for our freestyle to find out which lane we would be taught in. Then I went to the furthest lane (top) and learn some swimming skills. We arrived at swimming everyday for two weeks.

I still need to work on... demonstrating correct arm movements while doing breast stroke
I enjoyed... my leg movements while doing breaststroke the most
