What is a Rebus?

Room 9 has been writing rebus recounts about their school holidays. A rebus uses pictures and symbols to tell stories instead of words. Can you decipher our rebuses? You can also listen to each rebus read by its author.

Friction

We are learning to describe friction...

Overall I think that friction is about stopping things, slowing things down, and rubbing things together, because friction can do that to everything and that is the most important thing. - Leila

The most important thing about friction is stopping, because if you don't have friction you will slip all over the ground. - Casey

I think that in the future they will invent shoes that never slip on wet ground. - Jaz

I think that in the future, lots of people will understand how to use friction. Some smart people already know how you can use it to help you. - Hawon

Friction is a force that can help you do your job. Friction can also cause trouble when you're doing your job. - Grace

Overall, friction is a force that happens when two or more objects rub together. - Ryan

A Special Place

RICE in Reverse!

We have been learning how to define respect and co-operation. Last week we wrote some clever definitions of each topic. Today we used the Reverse Key to help us to think about respect and co-operation. When we use the Reverse Key we place words such as cannot, never and not into a sentence to get us thinking...

We had to list ways you cannot show co-operation/respect. Here are some of our ideas.

Post a comment if you can suggest the co-operative or respectful opposite to our ideas.
