Solar ovens

We learnt how the sun captures energy and can use this energy for cooking. Students researched different solar designs and could bring in items to create a solar oven. Students were given gladwrap for trapping the heat, silver tinfoil for reflection and black paper to absorb the heat. Johnny and Sean made a huge effort bring in glass and it paid off as their oven reached the hottest temperatures, around 90 degrees. The class then cooked smores in their ovens.
Here are some of their designs

Social Action

In term 3 we found out that 1 in every 4 children in New Zealand are living in poverty. We were shocked by this information and wanted to do something about it. In small groups we planned how we would make a difference for these children. Some groups collected food, old clothing, toys, other groups had a coin trail or sold baking at school. These groups raised around $130 that they donated to KidsCan. 
Here are some pictures of their efforts. I am very proud of my students!!
