Forces

This week we begin our new science topic; FORCES.

During this topic you will learn:
- how we measure forces
- the differnece between weight and mass
- more about gravity
- friction is a measureable force
- about air resistance and upthrust
- how to plan and conduct a fair test related to forces.

Literacy and ICT

For the next two weeks we will be looking at non-fiction writing. The task will be to produce a virtual tour of corregidor. The text will attempt to inform and persuade people to visit. The tour will use images, sounds and video. Once these have all been completed we will post them on the blog for parents.

To be one step ahead of the rest, visit some web sites where you can see a virtual tour for yourself. (our school web site is a good starting point) Often hotels have their own tours.

Corregidor "e book" - this is a good starting point when you are thinking about what your virtual tours will look like.
