GLOOP

Making Gloop - great way to end the first week of Term 4! 

UNDERSTANDING GLOOP – WHAT’S IS HAPPENING? 

Solid or Liquid: Cornflour is made of lots of long, stringy particles.  When water is added they do not dissolve in water, but they do spread themselves out.  This allows the gloop to act both like a solid and a liquid.  When you roll the mixture in your hands or apply pressure to it, the particles join together and the mixture feels solid.  But if it is left to rest or is held up and allowed to dribble, the particles slide over each other and it feels like a liquid.

 

 

 

 

Loud Shirt Day

The student government held a fundraising mufti day on the last day of term. The Loud Shirt Day was to support Children's Cochlear Implants. A few photos from the school assembly. Well done to Kiera as Prime Minister for the initial suggestion.

 

 

Judo in Room 22

While the hall was unavailable due to the productions, judo was in Room 22 on a Monday at 5 pm. And the stacks of mats for 3 weeks was a welcome seating addition - well used!! Gabrielle and Keir - Room 22 judoka.
