Making Gliders
In Room 4, we have been doing science experiments about how gliders work by testing them outside and finding out who's glider flies the furthest. We used straws and 2 strips of coloured paper.
First, we draw lines for the 2 strips and firmly cut them out. After that, there will be one big strip and one small strip in your hand. They'll both be circular shaped.
Next, we had to make sure that the two strips are strong enough for the test outside. We then grabbed ourselves straws and used tape to make sure they'll work.
After practising for a few minutes, Mrs Cutler announced for the test. We all lined up on one line until we were all quiet and silent. Mrs Cutler blew the whistle that was around her neck.
After going for a few rounds, we finally had a winner. Everyone was fine with it and went back to class. Mrs Cutler told us to write about what happened in our science booklets. After that, we went out for refuel while playing around our gliders.
Gif Making
My class and I did Gif Making. By making them we had to use shapes and images. In each slide a shape or image is moved to a different direction but in the same spot.
We all made diffrent ones. Some were short while others were long.

The value of animals
Today, Mrs Hubbard and Starbright talked about animals that represent different values.
It was fun to talk about how the animal connects to the value because of who they are. An example is the card that shows a horse and it's value was loyal. Starbright chose these three values for herself -the owl as wise, the wolf as powerful and the cat as independent.
We talked about times when she would show these values, it was fun to hear how Starbright likes to share her wisdom with her sister and tell jokes at home! Awesome, Starbright.
We also learned about the power of a wolf, and that the pack leader is not at the front but at the back because he/her protects and cares for his/her pack. We didn't know that and we were shocked to learn this!
Lastly, we watched a video about how wolves were put back into a national park in America and how the wolves changed that place. They made this park become balanced again after being away for 70 years. We really liked to see how the wolf had a good impact on the animals and even the rivers! Wow!
I really enjoyed learning with you, Starbright. Thanks for being you!

Baking Cookies Together
Starbright along with her friends Roseanna-Bell, Kelsie and Mia decided to make some delicious cookies for their classmates.
Starbright, I loved the way you all worked together as a team. You helped to solve problems when things were too big like the chocolate and also encouraged each other with the care you took in following the recipes.
The two types of cookies turned out amazing! They were cooked just right so they were nice and soft and not too hard. I know that your classmates really enjoyed what you all made, Starbright. You have such a caring heart and to share all your delicious cookies showed that to them.
I can't wait for the next baking session with you and your friends!
