Term 1, 2019: Weeks 5 - 7



Dad's Day

What a great day Dad's Day was last Friday. After the school shared some singing - and we sadistically enjoyed listening to the Dads try and get their mouths around some tongue twisters - we went back to our classes for special activities.

In our class, the Dads joined us for some "Minute-to-Win-It" challenges (cracker face, cup stacker, and chopstick challenge). The Dads helped train up the students in their group and provided encouragement when it was time for the competitive challenge. Following that, the best part: getting the Dads to give the challenges a try! Thanks for coming along Dads (and Dad equivalents!), and for giving us some laughs!

 Speak up Dads! 


Daniel's buzzed. Sophie's dad may have sprained a facial muscle.  


Bella doing her best Walking Dead impression



Olivia and her dad try using the bridge of the nose as...well, a bridge.  



Yolanda employs every facial muscle to full effect. Ashlee faces the obstacle of cracker dust in her eye. 



Michael demonstrates to the class his pyramid scheme and how you can start earning money from home.  



Great chopstick skills, terrible meal. 



Good luck telling your chiropractor why you've made an appointment!



Barely suppressed competitiveness. 



Smell the testosterone! 


Science 

We've continued our focus on solids, liquids and gases. 
We've been learning to make predictions, test those predictions, and discuss our results.
