Sounds Amazing

We have been learning about sound and how it travels in science. We have had a lot of fun experimenting with making sound, working out how it is made and how it travels to our ears. We have also found about the inner ear and how it works. We are now working out ways to share our knowledge with the junior school so we can help them to learn about sound too. We are planning presentations using photostory which we hope to also share on our blog and wiki. Look at these great pictures of us experimenting with string telephones.

Super star Students

In the last weeks of term we had two super stars, as we had a special award to give out for the International Science Festival that was held in Dunedin, as well as our assembly award.
Kane won our assembly award for his amazing, creative magic hat! We are hoping to hang our gorgeous creations from the rafters when we move back into our beautiful new classroom in the next few weeks. Well Done Kane!
Lucy won a special science award for her very clever thinking when we were working on chemical reactions with Miss Trainor. Lucy is very good at explaining how reactions happen and why she thinks they do. Tino Pai Lucy.

Super Sciene Rap Star

Today all of NEVNS got to meet the amazing and talented Tom McFadden. Tom is a scientist from Sacramento, California who is passionate about sharing his passion, SCIENCE.
We were all entranced by Tom's amazing science raps and we even got to join in the singing and dancing. Thanks Tom for visiting our school. You can check out Tom at the International Science Festival in the school holidays.

Crazy Kitchen Chemistry

We had a fantastic time making sherbet and learning about chemical reactions with Miss Trainor! Take a look at our video.

Bethunes Gully and the Gardens

Yesterday the senior school went to Bethunes Gully and the Gardens to look at other parts of Lindsay Creek. These parts of Lindsay Creek are not as dirty as the part at Chingford Park. We think it could be dirtier because people put more rubbish in there at Chingford Park, there are more people around. We think we could help by cleaning it up and making signs to tell people to put their rubbish in the bin.
