Sam and Beau are making their model house items for their fire experiment while Josh makes the board. They are testing if the type of fuel effects how a room burns. 



Tane is investigating what classroom tool glides the slowest on average when attached to a plastic bag parachute. 



Maya and Elyse are figuring out what is the most popular colour.



Tessa and Amrit are investigating what liquids mix.

Koren comes to Room 3

Koren came to talk to us about journalism. She told us about the different articles you could write and how they are different depending on the type of piece needed. For example you could write a sports piece, a politics piece, a court news piece, a human interest piece, or a national or world piece. We also learnt that it is important to stay neutral and non biased when creating articles and only use the facts. Thanks heaps Koren for coming in and talking to us about journalism.

Flying fox by Amrit

Most of room three students went on the new flying fox


Pig writing

As the fat flabby 500 tone pig marched passed the fridge he picked up a scent just then he had realised that he had an addiction of chocolatechip cookies. His snout quivers as he floated up to the treasure while his floppy back side hanging in the air. He flops to the ground with his rolls making him blind to see. He caught a glance of a broom he got it and used it to try and push the cookies off but he only succseeded his goal of pushing the cookies further away. He glared around the room just then he saw 2 toilet plungers he used them to try and climb up only to notice that he had them stuck to his chest. The pig fell to the ground and then threw a tantrum he knocked the fridge and they fell off.

Cameron's flying fox writing

I felt snow dripping on my hair as the rope dragged my body towards the tree. It was speedy and getting even faster. The wind blasted though my number one hairdo. It thrilled me but it was finished too soon.

Photographer of the day

This is Akira on the new flying fox. He said it was fantastic. The flying fox opened up after school yesterday there will be a long line at morning tea I'm sure.

My flying fox experience

As I got shoved off the starting platform I felt like I was super man while fear rushed through by blood cells. Suddenly bam! I hit a stop with my body whip lashing . I start bouncing up and down back to the starting platform. Now for my second turn.

Jump jam time

Wow you guys rock
You guys have rocking moves 
Love the enthusiasm

Pig and a lot of cookies

A chubby pig strutted proudly into the kitchen when a chocolate aroma blocked the pigs snout. As he breathed in the welcoming heavenly scent to soon find out he was floating towards the smell. Then he spotted the magnificence triple chocolate cookies coated with a thick vanilla icing. Just when he was about to snatch the cookies he fell to the ground with a thud humph. Then he had an idea he bolted towards the broom cupboard then quickly grabbed a broom before charging at the fridge and WHACK  but instead of the jar moving forward it moved backwards ugh. Wait that's it he tightened the jet pack over his pink flabby skin the flew to the moon at full speed until he spotted blue cheese !!!!! He broke it carefully before scoffing it down, Kchaa Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah until finally PLONK noooo he missed the fridge whyyyyyyyyy when he noticed it was raining cookies yayyyy until thud the jar landed on his head.
