Solar Power - The Power of the sun!

Can you see all the solar panels on the top of this car? Can you guess what makes this car go? It's not power from petrol that makes the motor go!

These holidays I am off to Darwin in Australia to watch the start of the World Solar Car Challenge. It’s a 4 day car race starting on 16 October from the top of Australia to the bottom. The cars are only allowed to run on batteries charged with power from the sun. Have a look at the cool cars that are racing. My son is one of the electrical engineers in the team. Check out the links below. You can follow the race.

Watch Our Shadow Puppet Shows

Space 10 English group have been producing shadow puppet plays based on a Fairy Tale. Each group had to plan and write a script, make puppet characters and props and practise together. They did amazingly well and have been busy presenting their shadow plays to other classes in the school. This has all been done in just over a week! You are all stars this week! The other teachers were amazed at your presentations.Well done!

How does a torch work?

George and Daniel worked well together.

Max and Brooke worked it out first.

Anders and David made a switch for theirs.

Kate and Krissy worked it out too!

Today we investigated how a torch works. We needed a battery, a light bulb, 2 bits of wire, a battery holder and a bulb holder. We had to connect all these things to make a circuit for the power to move along to make the bulb light up. Some of us discovered how to do it all by ourselves. It was a fun science activity.
