Week 3 term 2 2016

On Tuesday we have school until 2pm- pick up needs to be prearranged so the teacher knows where the children are going at this time. The inquirers, rangatahi and explorers have 3 way interviews. I will be at Massey for the day and my reliever will be letting children go at 2pm.

3 episodes of MOJO...a catch up!

we have been exploring THE DIP.....

< 1. Often we use the word "best" as our goal.
 How else can we phrase our goal to allow for a growth mindset?
 2. How can you "learn new ways to improve?" Give an example from your week.
 3. What kind of attitude should we have when we see others who are rockstars and we aren't rockstars yet?

Make a mini water cycle!

We know that water can be a liquid, a gas, or a solid. Outside, water is always changing from liquid to gas and back again. This process is called the water cycle. You can see how the water cycle works.

The Water Cycle

The sun's heat causes water to evaporate from streams, lakes, rivers, and oceans. The water vapor rises. When it reaches cooler air, it condenses to form clouds. When the clouds are full of water, or saturated, they release some of the water as rain.

Create Your Own

You will need:

• a large metal or plastic bowl
• a pitcher or bucket
• a sheet of clear plastic wrap
• a dry ceramic mug (like a coffee mug)
• a long piece of string or large rubber band
• water

1. Put the bowl in a sunny place outside.
2. Using the pitcher or bucket, pour water into the bowl until it is about ¼
full.
3. Place the mug in the center of the bowl. Be careful not to splash any water into it.
4. Cover the top of the bowl tightly with the plastic wrap.
5. Tie the string around the bowl to hold the plastic wrap in place.
6. Watch the bowl to see what happens.

The "mist" that forms on the plastic wrap will change into larger drops of water that will begin to drip. (You can speed up the dripping by carefully moving the bowl – don't splash! – into the shade.) When this happens, continue watching for a few minutes, then carefully peel back the plastic. Is the coffee mug still empty? Water from the "ocean" of water in the bowl evaporated. It  condensed to form misty "clouds" on the plastic wrap. When the clouds became saturated it "rained" into the mug!
