Week Eight in the Pirie Room

We had a very busy week in week eight with lots of trips, noise and excitement! We watched as the Clipsal track was prepared beside our classroom and listened to the cars screech around infamous turn eight on the corner of our playground. To escape some of the noise we visited the river Torrens on Wednesday and marvelled at the floating "paper" boats.
"Paper can float, that's why" said Harrison
Not everybody agreed so that will be a focus of investigation next week
We also headed to Henley to visit the Marine Discovery Centre. We were assisted by the wonderful year six students of Star of the Sea School and got to see lots of different marine life.

Closely observing a Port Jackson Shark We also continued to enjoy exploring water and after our visit to the River Torrens looked at how we can move and manipulate water

We also enjoyed dancing our water cycle. Above you can see us as we are evaporating. You should have seen us crash as waves!!We also particularly enjoyed the carpentry table this week. We made lots of planes and guitars!
