LI.To learn special water safety skills.

This week was the last week for swimming.
What we did for swimming was to put a life jacket on and what we did in the pool
was we had to get in a chain which it was like you have to lay down then put your hands on the back of the persons life jacket and then wiggle your legs around so the chain can move.
After we did the chain we learnt how to do the huggle it was like you have to put your arms around the person back because if they drown you would have to put your arms around the person back to pull them up in from the water.
And we had to have a race to the front and then come back swimming on your back.Then there's two last thing we did was the frist one was we had to put our left hand on our head and put your other hand on the left on the life jacket and then we have to take a big step in the water and after that we did this other thing that was we had to jump of and try and high five our swimming teacher which was Mrs Livvy.

Rube Goldberg/T3W10

LI.To apply knowledge of simple machines create a Rube Goldberg  

We did our Rube Goldberg machines. Our challenge was the putter challenge. We had to push cars into a marble. The marble rolls down on a Incline Plain. Then the marbles hit the Dominoes and the last domino has a pin. The pin will pop the water balloon the one of us hits the golf ball with a putter into a cup. We used Marbles, Putter, Dominoes, Golf ball, Pins, Balloon. String, ruler and water. The simple machines we used was the Incline plain, Wedge, Pulley, Lever. The dominoes were challenging to go through because every time the marble goes down the ruler the marble only hits some of the dominoes but not all of it. I would change the dominoes with a card board track instead. So the marble will roll smoothly on the card board into the last domino with the pins on it.
