What if we had no power for a day......
Today there is a power cut. Everyone has to work without
electricity. No one can play with the computer. Everyone can’t have toast.
By Theo.
Today on news headlines there was a gigantic power cut in Christchurch
at 1am in the morning. There was a storm in Christchurch and the power lines got hammered! We have no
electricity until tomorrow. This means we can’t message, do work or play Clash
of the Clans!
By Jackson
Today there was no electricity in the world. There was a
power cut. The toaster wouldn’t go on. I couldn’t play on the iPad because it
was flat. It was funny because mum washed me because there was no hot water.
By Summer
Today there was a power cut. Everyone didn’t get up . The
toasters wouldn’t go. I had weetbix. Everyone was late. Everyone couldn’t use
the computer.

How to keep safe around electricity
You can’t cook in the kitchen without an adult.
Never put water near a TV or a computer or you could get an
electric shock if it spills.
Don’t make the toaster jam or if you put something in it you
might get an electric shock.
By Patrick
Never put water beside a TV or a computer because you can get
an electric shock. Never put a hair dryer in water because you can get an electric
shock. Only use a microwave if an adult is with you. Don’t cook something
unless a grown up is with you.
Barnaby
Don’t put a sock on a light.
Liam
Never put water near electricity. They do not mix together.
Do not let babies chew on wire. Never cook stuff when there is no grown up with
you. Do not put metal things in the toaster.
Melissa
Electricity is very dangerous with water that’s spilt on the
table. Do not have cables on the floor because a baby could bite it and get
harmed. When you are in the kitchen you have to have an adult with you.

Spring Poems
Spring
Butterflies swooping in the air.
Blossoms growing in the branches.
Grass growing up out of the ground.
The sun is very hot like lava.
The leaves are very green when it is spring.
By Will
Spring
Rocks dazzling in the
sunlight.
Blossoms bursting like a pearl
that is freshly made.
Baby animals are born in
spring.
Grass dancing through the wild
wind.
By Annabel
Spring
Grass swaying in the
strong stormy wind.
Daffodils dancing in
the fireworks and talking to their friends.
Bees buzzing in the
hot sun.
Branches swishing in
the beautiful warm day
By Poppy.
Spring
Lambs frolicking around a paddock on their wobbly legs.
Grass that is so green that daisies are sprouting.
Trees are getting dressed from winter midnights and days.
Foals are galloping trying to go on the racecourse and horses are racing.
Daffodils are staring at the bright, bright sun.
Green leaves are sprouting like mad.

Science Alive Visit
Today the people from Science Alive visited us in our Learning Centre. We had lots of fun making circuits, working with static electricity and working out what materials electricity can go through. Astrid brought her robot Rosie along to meet us. She was very cute and also helped us learn what we use electricity for: Heat, Light, Movement and Sound. Can you work out what we are doing in each of these photos?

Static electricity
Static electricity is awesome and very fun.
Yesterday we went to different classes to do different things with static electricity. We went to room 8,26,5, 7 and last of all Room 10. We had so much fun. My favourite one was the one where you rub the balloon on your hair and put a piece of plastic in the air. I nearly got it but the piece of plastic fell down.
By Melissa
"Hmmm, how does that work?"
In Room 10 we are learning about static electricity. We learnt that in everything there is a negative and positive charge. On the TV we saw a balloon and a T Shirt. Mrs O'C rubbed the balloon on the TShirt and all the negative went to the balloon. We tried putting them to more negatives but it just didn't work. Fact, the negatives don't like being with more negatives. They push each other away. The negatives go towards the positives.
By Charlotte
Wow, electricity is awesome. Yesterday we did five experiments in B1 and B2. First we went to Room 7 and tried to stick a balloon on our body parts and stick it to the wall. Next we went to Room 5 and rubbed a balloon on our head and tried to tilt water, some people could do it. In Room 26 we rubbed the balloon on something and tried to lift paper off the ground. After that we went to Room 8 and rubbed a balloon on our hair and it floated up. It was super fun.

I made a little bit of water move by rubbing a balloon on our hair. We made plastic fly. All of us made a person fly.
