Self Awareness

WHAT : we have been learning to ignore sight and sound distractions.
SO WHAT : I haven't had a self check all week.
NOW WHAT : In class we have set up a system called... Self Check. If someone talks when they're not supposed to, Mr H will say self check and then you have to grab a card (from pinned on the wall) that says 'students are trying to learn please be quiet', then write a mark next to your name. Once you have five marks beside your name there is a consequence and if you have none there will be a reward, any amount from 1-4 doesn't do anything it just mean try and lower the amount of marks.

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!
