Spectacular Science Road Show

Spectacular Science Road Show

The spectacular Science Road Show was really fun because we got to see a short, informative presentation at the beginning. It was about arcs, sparks and gherkins. We started off with learning how electricity flows through a current and about conductors and insulators. Some students were brave enough to lie on a bed of nails (OUCH!). It was so awesome - I loved it because when we laid on the nails it didn't hurt, as it gave way.We also got to see light get conducted from a electric conductor and it was directed onto an electricity sphere shape.We all thought the show was very interactive and and enjoyable!

AUTUMN MATHS ART

In maths we have been learning about tessellating shapes.

These can be found in nature, in design and in art.

Tessellating shapes are shapes that do not overlap and have no spaces between them.

We found out that there are only three basic shapes that tessellate – these are squares, hexagons and equilateral triangles.

Other non-regular shapes that have different length sides such as oblongs and shapes with different angles like diamonds do tessellate also.

Other shapes such as circles and octagons do not tessellate.

After we had made our shapes background we drew a silhouette of an autumn tree on it and coloured our shapes in autumn colours.

To tessellate a shape, you have to slide it, rotate it or flip it.

You have to move it.

Enjoy our autumn maths art.

AUTUMN AT BDS

Room 19 have been inspired by the autumn weather and we have been listening to autumn songs.

We went for an autumn walk and took photographs and videos of our beautiful school in autumn.

Then we found a song to go with our camera work and we made a movie.

Although this time of year can bring cold and wet weather, we still think there is a lot of beauty that we can appreciate.
Enjoy our movie!
