Week 5 in Hoy Class


It has been another very busy week in Hoy class.  We have managed to finish our model brains.  


Some of us chose to draw a labelled diagram rather than label our models.



We did well to label all the different parts of the brain and their functions.



Some of us worked with Ms Baker to make caterpillar critters!!



YUM!

We competed a baby face challenge where we had to look at our facial expressions and try to work out who each baby photo belonged to.  It was very tricky!! 



We have also been learning about our ears and hearing this week.  We completed various experiments which showed us how sound travels in our bodies. 





We had to work together as a team to make sure each experiment ran smoothly.




We have also been learning about our skin this week.  We learnt that our skin has three different layers.  Each layer has a job to do.


We looked carefully at our own skin using magnifying glasses and by using sellotape.  It hurt a peedie bit taking it off our hands but it showed us our individual skin patterns and cells really well so we decided it was worth it!!
