Water Filter Experiments

In Room 5 we did a science experiment. We made water filters. Hannah and I were buddies. There were 4 items. Cotton balls, sand, paper towels and bark. We had to put dirty water into our filters and watch it go through to the other cup. Me and Hannah picked cotton balls and paper towels. You had to try to make it clean. Whoever got the cleanest water wins five dojo points. Our one was one of the best but we just missed out of winning. Here is our filter.

 

Evolution animals

In room 6 we have been learning to classify animals scientists classify animals and plants into groups to easily identify ,sort and name them.

Classify = SORT. There are may different ways to group living organism. You can classify animals into two main groups. Vertebrate or Invertebrate. All vertebrates have covering of skin that protects them , A skeleton inside there body , Muscles that help them move, Blood moves through tubes, Lungs or gills for breathing                                                       




                                                                           

90% of all animals are invertebrates 

Tend to be small because they do not have a back bone

Many live in the ocean because the water helps support their weight.

Some have a hard covering or shell on the outside of their bodies for protection - Insects, spiders, crabs, snails and clams.

The Royal Jelly Show

On Tuesday 29 of May the whole of Good Shepherd gathered in the hall to watch a show called “The Royal Jelly”. It gave us a lot of facts about bees and was really funny. Also three students were lucky enough to participate in the show answering questions from the “mayor”. Over all the show was fun and interesting and we all learned a lot.
