Room 1 Lightning Football and Netball Carnival Most of our class participated in the knock-out netball and football carnival on Monday Week 8, to get selected for the SAPSASA teams. We were lucky enough to have one girl from our class, Emily Flowers, make it through to the second round for netball! Well Done Emily! Science and Design & Tech During Science, we haveNew been Staff learning about filtration and distillation techniques. In groups, we made our own filters and solar sills. We made the filters by putting a coffee filter in a funnel and pouring dirty water into the funnel, which came out in a plastic cup. In the end, we had clean water. We made the solar sills with an aluminium tray in a shoe box. Then we got an aluminium bowl and put that in the middle of the tray. We poured some salted water in the tray. We covered the top of the shoe box with gladwrap and put a rock directly in the middle of the gladwrap. The water was supposed to evaporate and hit the gladwrap and trail down under the rock, then drip into the cup and leave the salt on the tray. In the end, this experiment failed. Now we are designing and constructing our own water filters for Design and Tech that will hopefully produce clean water.

Once a week we meet with Mio online for a lesson over the internet. It is interesting to be able to see and hear Mio while she shares her knowledge of Japan by sharing a slideshow with songs and videos. We also have one follow-up lesson where we complete some extra work to show how much we have learnt from our online lesson. The main topics we have learnt about with Mio so far include how to greet someone in Japanese, names of shapes, names and flags of countries, names of colours, and nationalities.
