Catapult captured in action

Some edited footage (taken by Daniel and Aidan) of the catapult in action AND a little more about the workings of the catapult explained...

The Catapult by Daniel and Aidan

Daniel and Aidan have put together a poster on the Catapult they built along with two boys from Room 23 and with Mr Cavanah's expertise and know-how.  We're thinking it might be great for launching water balloons for our end of year "let go" celebrations!

Here's what Anna and Brenna have to share.

Senior Science Expo 2012

The video is finished!  Hurray!  We love using iMovie - it's so easy.

Our Calendar Art

It's that time of year where you can order your child's calendar art to adorn that home or office wall space and especially at Grandma & Grandpa's place.   You can view samples of actual printed work, in the school office before ordering.

Under the lovely guidance of Mrs Lynch, the children sketched daffodils in pencil and pastel and penned poems to accompany the artwork.  Then myself (Mrs Bell) assisted the children to put their handiwork together.  Here is the result.  Please note the children had a choice of photo backgrounds, border or no border and a choice of a few different fonts - so there is slight variation.  What we love about these is how the sketches appear to be growing tall out of the background.  We hope you like!

Science Expo through the eyes of Poetry

Our Science Expo has been and gone and what a fantastic opportunity it was for our senior children to demonstrate and teach to their fellow "Hillcresters".

A video is in the making and will be posted soon, but in the meantime here are a few poems about the expo for your reading - Samantha and Olivia are sharing.

Science Expo Preparations - dominoes, toilet rolls, marbles, bits & pieces everywhere!

Busy, busy, busy.... designing, creating, testing, redesigning... Rube Goldberg would be proud...
