Term 3 Week 4

Last week Year 5 took part in a Bird Beak Experiment. This experiment required students to use common household items to represent different bird beaks and collect as many lollies within a period of 20 seconds. We used toothpicks, forks, spoons, pegs and straws. You might be thinking the straw would be the most effective however it was the toothpick. 

Here are some photos and videos of our experiment!













We also started creating our own ice cores. We started by putting water into a bottle and adding a material then freezing it. The process was repeated the following day when we added another layer. This experiment still continues.
On Friday 7th August St Michael’s celebrated the Feast Day of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop. Year 6 organised a day of activities and students were encouraged to dress up as something starting with the letter ‘M’.  Across the school it was great to see so many creative ideas.
