Hey peeps,

Declan here with yet another 6AO update!!!!!

Throughout this week, we’ve been learning about forces and how they work!So far, we’ve done:magnetism, electricity,floating, air resistance, gravity and friction. It’s been a lot but it sure was worth it!

You’d have no idea how many light bulbs one a battery can power. Just a couple of minutes ago, me and oli lit up 5 bulbs with one battery. We also tryed to make parralell circuits which means if you take one bit off, one of the lights will still work.

We tested friction by hooking objects onto newtom meters and pulling them on different surfaces like carpet and the window sill. Me and Oli used things like his pencil case and his water bottle.

We all did various experiments to test magnetism like seeing what coins will stick onto a magnet and we also had to check the year in which the coins were made to right notes.

When we came back from the christmas holidays, we tested ait resistance by making a paper clip man and taping it to small parachutes before dropping them from the bottom of the stairs to see how long it took for each parachute to hit the floor.

The floating experiment was fun; we :made boats out of tin foil, put them in water and saw how many multilink cubes the boats could hold before sinking. Megan and Jessica’s boat held 10 cubes and so did Connor and Ben’s.

The gravity test was fun aswell; we used the newton meters again and dangled objects on the hook to see how much gravity was pulling on them.

So far, its been a great topic but theres still more to come. Its going to be a great term. Untill next time, see you next week with another great update on all things cool.

Picture with Miss Austin

Hi peeps Declan here with the 6AO report!

One of Miss O’Sullivan’s best friends ,Miss Austin, came for a visit alllllllllll the way from Australia. She is English but she travles around the world to be a teacher. She’s also been to Japan and she taught us how to say good morning in Japanese. Its  Or hi your go zi mass. How coooooooooooooooooooool! She also helped: me,Mhiari,Ines and Oren.And thats not the half of it, shes a better scientist than Albert Einstein!!!! Unfortunately, she had to go back to the land of g’day in Australia.Well…. it’s Melbourne she works in but i think they still say g’day there.At the end of the day, me and Mhiarihad a picture with her while we were holding up a globe and pointing to where she currently lives.

All in all, it was the best visitor we’ve ever had and i hope she can come back before the end of the school year.

Hi everyone,

Declan and Liam here with the Christmas report. So how was your Christmas Liam?

Well, basically, IT WAS AWSOME!!! I received some fantastic presents like the SEIGE caster scooter and DJ hero on wii. We also began repairs on my Quad bike so we could use it again soon.

WOW! That’s so cool and i got 2 550 piece puzzles which i did in 2 days. Also, i got a huge pool table and a real dart board. However, now onto the really exciting stuff, are you looking forward to the year ahead? Like the last ever Harry Potter film or the royal wedding?

Yeah! Sure am!!! It’s going to be so COOL! Although, I’m looking forward to moving up to secondary school!!!

I completely forgot about that , it’s going to be AWESOME!!!

WE HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!

Snow, Snow, Snow… So much of it. It looks gorgeous. Do you like snow? You have to. oh it is lovely…When you walk on it it crunches… When it is right you can make snow figures. It is just so fun. So are you allowed to go out and play in it because if you are…. GREAT… The more we have the more we can play in it-HAVE FUN! On the down side of snow…  it makes it harder to drive places.Harder to get to work… That is why schools close… when they cant get staff in. So as well as snow being totally amazing it is bad for some people too. Also you need to make sure you dress up warm and wear old or waterproof clothes. If you dont then you can get very cold and become very ill. The floor is icy so make sure that you wear walking boots, wellies or very good gripping boots that are also waterproof. Everywhere you go it is always as pretty as a picture in the snow…

ENJOY THE SNOW WHILST IT LASTS EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On thursday16th december we had a chance to design santa sleigh because the reindeer are getting a bit old so Santa couldn’t get to everybody to deliver the children’s christmas presents. First of all we had to think for 2 minutes ,silently, about great ideas for the design of the new sleigh to be sent off the next day. When we had thought about them Mr Hurst asked us to tell everybody about our ideas and how they would work-how to operate them… The ideas of everybody were things like solar panel controlled by the moon’s light, Heat pads for santa chair and santa feet which plugged in to keep his toes nice and toasty warm, lights for the reindeer to see, a windmill to create energy for an engine to power the reindeer and loads of more Great ideas. We had to draw it onto a plain A3 peice of paper with annotations to explain to santa what the exciting things were. We knew that when santa had chosen there would be a prize. But no-body knew what it would be. The whole school had to do the mission. Everyone was against each and everybody wanting to win. HOW EXITING!
