Evolution Verterbrates

In Room 6 e have been learning to classify animals. Scientists classify animals and plants into groups in order to easily identify, sort and name the.

Classify = Sort
There are many ways to group living organisms.

You can classify animals into two main groups. Vertebrates or invertebrates.

 All vertebrates have

• Covering of skin that protects them
• Skeleton inside their body
• Muscles that help them move
• Blood moves through tubes 
• Lungs or gills to breathing

Invertebrates

• 90% of all animals are invertebrates
• Tend to be small because they do not have a backbone.
• Many live in the ocean because the water helps support their weight.
• Some have a hard covering or shell on the outside of their bodies for protection.
• (e.g Insects, spiders, crabs, snails and clams.

Science Roadshow

Last week on Thursday the year 5 and 6 students of Good Shepherd School went to Edendale Primary School to experience the Science Roadshow! We learnt so much about ice and fire, the human body and other things that are related to science. We enjoyed watching the hosts do fascinating experiments like dropping an 8 ball into the metal stick with a hoop attached to it, before they dipped it into the liquid nitrogen the ball could thread through the hoop, but after they dipped the stick into the liquid nitrogen the ball couldn’t fit!
We had a lot of fun, and recommend that everyone goes to the Science Roadshow if they get a chance.

The Royal Jelly

The Royal Jelly
On Tuesday 29 of May the whole of Good Shepherd gathered in the hall to watch a show called “The Royal Jelly”. It gave us a lot of facts about bees and was really funny. Also three students were lucky enough to participate in the show answering questions from the “mayor”. Over all the show was fun and interesting and we all learned all about bee's.
