Canterbury Cross Country
Room 26 have some super runners in our class. Sam, Piper B, Piper W-B and Trinity all went off to Halswell Quarry for the second time to compete against all schools in the Canterbury region in cross country running.
They came back to school covered in mud. Well done you guys we are very proud of you.

Airforce Museum Trip
Last week we went to the Wigram Airforce Museum as part of our topic about flight. The trip was split into 2 parts. The first part was a lesson by Chris about the forces of flight and the second part was a scavenger hunt around the museum.
In the lesson we learnt about the 4 forces of flight: thrust, weight, lift and drag. We learnt how planes fly and the different parts of a plane. We were super lucky to be able to make our own mini planes.
During the scavenger hunt we had heaps of things to look at and find around the museum.

Science Friction
Yesterday Room 26 had their Science Alive session. We learnt all about forces.
Did you know that a scientist named Sir Isaac Newton came up with 3 laws for motion?
We learnt about these 3 laws:
1st law of motion is: You need a force to move something - a push or a pull
2nd law of motion is: The bigger an object, the bigger the force needed to move it
3rd law of motion is: That there is an opposite and equal reaction for every motion - e.g. a balloon moves the opposite direction to the air that comes out of it.
We did a few experiments to learn about these laws.
