Simple Machines

As part of our Inquiry Unit - Time Machine - we went for a visit to the Waikato Museum.
We had lots of fun with Ray finding out how simple machines work particularly in toys.

We then had the opportunity to go upstairs to Exscite for a play and to discover how things work for ourselves.

What a fun afternoon. Thanks Ray

Hip Hip Moves By Lacey and Luciana

Last Friday we created a movie based on the School Journal Story Library book we read
called Hip Hop Moves.
The strategy we use for our reading responses is to 'take it or make it' when creating an image.
We chose to make a movie. We hope you enjoy our video.
