Monday fun day

On Monday we had wheels day and fun day. We played team tactics with Mr Riceman,T-ball with Mr Ross and had free time with Ms Sands. Everyone had so much fun on the slip and slide and the pool everyone mostly enjoyed the slip and slide because you would keep flying off the end If you went so fast but I really enjoyed the free time because I got to rest in the sun and I played with a Nerf vortex and it was really cool. When we were with Ms Sands We were relaxing in the shade because it was hot and we had to swim in the morning when it was cold. Here are heaps of funny photos.

Thinking hats

A few weeks ago we started our thinking hat slide show. We had to write about the thinking hats like the yellow hat I had to write about what were the positives and what I liked. After we finished we were allowed to add photos to our slides. We have six slides and I finished it and just made cool backgrounds so that it looks cool behind the writing. Next time I could change things around with descriptive language.

Soap making for gala.

Image
We are making soap because we are trying to raise money for our next year for  school. We are learning how to make soap for our gala day. Cut your clear glycerine soap or you can use share butter. Then you melt it in then  microwave for about 20-30 seconds it depends how much you put in. when its melted then you mix but if it still has chunks than just mash it down to little peaces . after there is no chunks then you can put  food colouring in after you pour it in the silicone mold. when it sets it will be easy to get out of the silicone mold.  The good part of making soap is it smells nice when you use it, The bad thing about it is that it could burn your skin if you don't make it properly.This changed my thinking because soap can burn your skin if it is made with different things.
This term we started our journey and it was kinda hard because we had to use google maps,websites and we had to estimate what we were going to spend. When I was trying this for the first time ever I didn't know what to do. I finally finished this two weeks ago. I spent less money than I estimated because I picked the cheapest activities because they are fun to do. All the new things I learnt was Cape Reinga is so far away from Auckland. We had to choose what car we wanted because we had to travel in it from place to place. We did heaps of travelling spending money on heaps of gas and if you buy a camper van you don't have to sleep in a hotel but I used the camper van and still sleep in a hotel. I stuck to my budget because I didn't want to spend heaps of money. I was so happy when I went on my trip because it was really cool. My estimate because it was really high.

This term  we started on our NZ journey for maths. It was challenging us because it was a lot of typing searching and having fun. This helps us for when we are older so when we have to work we can add things up faster so we can get paid more. This activity took about a week or two but we finished it all with a little help from the teachers. We used google maps to find a lot of trips there was flights we had to find how much the flight was and all the activities we had to pay for on a budget.

Crazy Science.

Image
Hello Today we had crazy science it was a show about two people showing us some magic science. The one thing that I was surprised about was that if you pour water in  nappies there is polymer inside that makes into solid. I learnt that bubbles are the thinnest object in the whole world seen by human eyes they have rainbow colours because they have two surfaces trapped water then reflect and refract the light. I wonder if I could grow up and be like Richard because he was the funniest person  I have ever seen since the last time I have seen something funny. I could try these things that Richard showed us. I could find out some science tricks from Richard .

At exactly 1.00 o'clock we finished our lesson.

maths building.

Image
Yesterday after fitness Te Waka Ako built tents for strand maths.  The materials we used were modelling clay, tooth  picks and card board. We used a little bit on each tooth pick so that it wouldn't fall over. We had to make a tent and that was so cool. We made different shapes like cubes, pyramids, and cones.  There was a big as problem!  It kept falling because we shook the table too much so everyone's tent fell down.  The one thing that was good is that I finished before lunch so I could go to play.  What I found out is that if something is too heav y that it will fall down eventually.  Overall the task was challenging but I stuck to it and finished on time to go lunch. In the end I made a pyramid .

Rocket soars through the sky

Image
We read a article about a rocket soaring through the sky.It was really interesting  that they made a 3D  printed rocket and sent it in the sky.The rocket did not make it into orbit so the rocket will eventually fall back down and burn up entering earths orbit.

biography about Michel

Image
We had this cool book called super hero secrets.This story was about a man called Michel Mulipola. His dream was to be the first Samoan to draw for the Marvel because he loved there animation.  I thought that Michel Mulipola was the best animator  i have ever read about from a book.Well I was making this peace of work I wanted to be a animator when i'm older because I wanna draw for the marvel as well.
