Back to School - Term 4

All looking smart for School Photos Day.

 
 
 
You may often see a group of children challenging themselves before school each morning, to come up with more and more elaborate Symmetrical patterns 




A first attempt - great work James !



 
 
                                                                                      
 
 
Musicians - we were entertained by 2 bands on Friday



 
 
Bad Hair Day Art
A fun exercise using a variety of straight and curved lines
 



 


 
 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 Yes, you can paint with tennis balls!

 
 
 
 
 
Science - a 'wow' experiment!
We placed pictures of arrows and coloured strips behind glasses of water and couldn't believe what happened next... the images reversed and even split !
 

 
 
 
 
 
The children came up with possible reasons why we saw this effect - "the water might be moving"
"could it be something to do with light?" .......
More experiments to follow!
