Term 3 Science Inquiry
Hopefully by now everyone has their science topic planned and their experiment under way.
I found this interesting experiment that I thought as a class we might like to be involved in:
Space Seeds 2013 (click on image to take you to the website to have look at the experiment we will need to set up).
I wonder if plants will grow in space the same as they will on earth?

Young Writer's Day
On Thursday 15 August Emily and I were given the opportunity to go to Ferrymead for the Young Writer's Day.
We talked with an author who gave us lots of advice for us to use with our own writing. We discovered that if you have silly ideas you can be an amazing writer.
We also discussed writing ideas with the starting… ‘What if…?’ e.g. “What if nightmares and dreams came true?”
We then used the Ferrymead Heritage Park to help build a story which was very cool.
Emily and I had a great time and we met some really cool people. I learnt lots and couldn’t wait to share.

Cantamath Competition
A big congratulations to our Cantamath team who competed on Wednesday night. Georgia G, Haidee, Kailey and Alice T worked very hard to get their 30 points. They had to use their mathematical skills to answer problem solving type questions in a very noisy and competitive environment.
Challenge yourself by attempting one of the questions they had to answer:
I think of a number. I multiply it by 4. To this I add 6. I then divide the answer by 8. The answer is 7. What number did I originally think of? Express your answer as a decimal.
Leave us a comment with your answer in it.
If you want a true sense of what it was like on the night, work this question out at the food court in Riccarton Mall at lunchtime (or somewhere else that is really loud and busy).

Rugby/Netball Tournament
On Tuesday the 6 of August Room 7 went to Lincoln Domain to compete with other schools in the Rugby/ Netball Tournament.
There were two teams in each event (A&B). We all really enjoyed the day and we showed leadership and sportsmanship to the other teams.
The Year 5/6 teams are competing on the 8 of August and we wish them the best of luck.

New Zealand Author Studies
Last term some of Team Inaka reading groups focused on New Zealand authors. One of the activities was to use QR codes to embed work onto a presentation poster. We have produced some great posters for the library about NZ authors and some of the books they have written. Springston children make sure you check them out when you are next in the school library.
These posters are by Annabelle and Millie
