ROOM SEVEN

Week 5 - Atoms and getting some perspective...

31/5/2019

 
Welcome back to the year nine blog!
Over the past week, we have achieved a lot in class.
   In Science, we have been learning that our current understanding of what an atom looks like comes from the Bohr model, first described by Niels Bohr. With the nucleus in the middle which is made of protons and neutrons, around the nucleus are the spinning electrons. To show this, we created element prototypes from the periodic table. We made the nucleus out of pompoms different colours for the protons and neutrons, the little marshmallows represent the electrons spinning around. This was a fun way to introduce this concept. Thank you to the year sevens for their help in this process.
   Every Thursday this past term, we have been receiving Art classes from our very talented Mrs Struthers. This week we have been looking at perspective drawings. We all drew our own towns perspective drawing. This was a challenge but we were all very proud of our end products.
  Also every Thursday we go to the stadium for P.E and we just had our last session in the pool, with even a few people mastering the butterfly stroke.
  For English this past few weeks, we have been really concentrating on speeches. Well done to everyone who presented their speech.
A quick reminder for the life-changing people doing the 40 hour famine this year! We are praying and supporting you as you complete this challenge NEXT WEEKEND. Make sure to get as many sponsors as possible. If 100 people raise $40 we will be able to give South Sudanese refugees $4,000. That’s so crazy! Although this would be a great outcome, every single dollar is accepted gratefully.

Basically, we have had a FANTASTIC week!
Bailey & Grace
