Lift off with science

Welcome to Team Weka's blog for 2018! This term we have been getting to know each other through collaboration, innovation and participation.

In week 5 some of our Weka students took part in a fabulous science lesson to investigate how to lift a heavy book without using their hands or body. 

Levi and Isaiah fully focused on the task at hand 

       

   Rableen having a go at lifting the book by blowing air through the straw and inflating the plastic bag to lift the book. She is supported by the awesome Allayah.

 

Scientists, Karlos, Nikhil, Louis and Oliver, investigating and problem solving together.

If I had wings...

If I had wings I could glide like an eagle and dive down so fast, faster than a cheetah.

If I had wings I would fly to heaven and see my grandad and take him to his grave and dig it all up so he could get in his body. When he got in his body I would let him go to mum's house. When we got to mum's house I told mum to come outside with her eyes closed.

If I had wings I would fly to the top of the clouds. Then I would see lots of places. The place I would like to go to would be the place where I land so I can see how beautiful it is. When I landed at the Botanical Gardens it was very nice.

If I had wings I would fly over the ocean looking for sharks. It was cloudy. I would fly through the clouds and make it so it isn't cloud anymore. I would remove the rain by doing the same thing. I would fly to school and fly back from school. 

- Creedance

If I had wings I would fly to Africa to give all the people food and then I would go to see my grandma.

Measurement

We started our measurement unit using length and centimetres. Here we are with our foot measurements from longest to shortest.

In Weka we have been learning about measuring length using different units of measurement. We made paper planes and used metres to work out how far they went. Kēkē ana te haere!
