Bryn's Learning Journey

End Of Term Reflection Hi everyone today I'm going to be telling you about all the exciting things we did in term one. Like science in a van which was really cool. The people running it did some insane tricks. Like the table cloth trick where they put a cup full of water on a table with a table cloth under it and pulled the table cloth off without moving the cup. But the best trick was the bottle rockets they did. So they strapped a rubber duck to a bottle and then pumped lots of air into it and woosh off it went. It didn't work the first few times it didn't work but in the end it flew way off the rope it was sliding across. Another great thing we did in term one was the eels trip where we went to the Heathcote river. My favourite part was the water bugs where there was a couple of water bugs in a tray and we had to find and identify them. One of them that we saw a lot of were stick cased caddiss which is a bug that has a stick shell. But the best part was cycle safet

Thursday 4 April Caritas Refugee Day Hello. On Thursday we did a Caritas challenge day to donate to Caritas to help the people in South Sudan and to see how it feels to live in a refugee camp in South Sudan. The best part for me was making huts out of cardboard, string and duct tape. Ours did not work the first few times and kept collapsing but in the end it was one of the best. Sadly we didn't get a photo of our fully complete  hut so here a photo of the other hut . An interesting thing was how everyone got frustrated with the hut but we finally made it work. For lunch we had half a cup of rice with just our hands. To challenge myself I decided not to eat my lunch to get a bigger picture of how it feels to live in South Sudan.
