What’s up! My name is Jojo. I just want to dive straight into this year, and especially Natural Sciences and Technology. Sometimes though, I fi nd it hard to sit still in class as I just want to get up and do things! My teacher often says I have too much energy and I battle to sit still in class. Maybe that’s why I am going through Energy and Change and Systems and Control with you this year. I am really looking forward to understanding more about electricity this year and why it is expensive. I have also heard that there are other ways to make electricity, besides burning coal, which are better for the environment. We will fi nd out more later! The best part about Natural Sciences and Technology for me is that we get to learn actively. We have goals and questions which we want to answer and I am always the fi rst to leap into action! Tom and I make a very good team because he is very good at thinking and planning and then following a method. But, I think I can also help as sometimes Tom wants to think too much, whereas in Science and Technology you also have to get involved in the subject and start experimenting.
Hello! My name is Sophie. One of my favourite places to be is in the school library. I love reading a new book – there is just so much to learn and discover about our world! I am always asking questions and often these questions do not yet have answers to them. This is fascinating as we then get to make a theory about what we think the answer might be. This is why I really enjoy learning about outer Space as there is so much that we do not know. Throughout history people have been asking questions about Space and our place in the universe. I am going to go through Earth and Beyond and Systems and Control with you. Did you know that we only ever see one side of the Moon?! I am also excited to fi nd out more about telescopes, especially since South Africa will be playing a major role in astronomical research in the future. I also like expressing my opinion and debating about a topic. You have to give me a very good argument to convince me of your opinion! I love exploring with Farrah as she helps me to be more creative and imaginative in the way that I think. I can also be quite sceptical and do not believe everything I read. But, this is very important in Science as we must not always accept everything as fact.
