Temperature

To kick start our temperature topic we discussed different ways we could estimate temperature. After deciding on a scale of 1 – 10 we discovered this was quite inaccurate as children’s perceptions were different and it also depended on what you had been doing previously. For example, touching warm water after touching ice made the water feel boiling! Yet touch it after we’d played outside it felt quite cool.

We confirmed that thermometers were very handy devices! We used thermometers to measure the temperature of water. We predicted what would happen to the water after 15 mins and then measured the temperature again. Our predictions were correct, the temperatures started to change to the temperature of the room!

Spelling bee

Ascot sent some super spellers to a Bangkok Spelling Bee yesterday to compete against the best spellers around!
The stage was huge and made the team a bit nervous!

         
  In each category there were over 50 children! But our brilliant representatives battled hard, with everyone getting through to round two, Mind so narrowly missed the final, reaching the top 15 and missing out by just 1 letter! TangTang and Latte managed to reach the finals in their categories, both getting into the top 5!! WELL DONE EVERYONE!! We did ourselves, our teachers and our families proud. Great job!!

Getting some last-minute practice in!

 

 

 

 

3 Judges; a bit like X factor!

 

 

 

A well deserved lunch break...

 

Then Year 4 and 5 took to the stage!

 

 

 

 

 

The finalists!

...so close!!

Measuring our bones.

On Thursday we were set a challenge by our class skeleton, Dr Travis Skelly. He claimed that ALL the bones of the skeleton are bigger in taller people. We were not so sure so we set out to investigate. We measured the height of all the people in our group and then measured their arm, skull, leg and hand bones.

We made sure our test was fair and reliable and our conclusion was… Dr. Travis Skelly is wrong!
