Wonder project - Session 5

 Kia ora people and world bloggers,

Today I will be talking about what we did for the wonder project today, and today we did a lot of confusing thing's, Today we were looking at our creation of rockets and a string, we were looking at how we can make it balance with the string and also the whole class got confused or didn't know what to do, First with the string and bottle we were finding the right side that it will balance, It will most likely to balance in the middle and balance straight, Next we had to trace our rocket that we made with our bottle's and also trace the fins on the rocket, The groups are only a loud to have three or four fins for the rocket so it can be stable when it blasts off, The fins are so post to be the same size, you should make a very good fin and then cut it out and then trace it on a paper, You can use any type of material for your rocket you can use wood, it will be easier if you use card board or paper and cereal box's, Because wood will make your rocket heavy and if your rocket is light it should go high when it takes off, Next we needed to change our fins because the fins weren't the same size and they all weren't the same size, Here are some photo's to show you what we did, Some day you might even want to do this with your own class some day.

Our creative rockets - Fantastic 4

 Hello world and bloggers,

Today we made our own rockets with a plastic bottle and some cardboard and also some sellotape,For the first starter at the first start we made paper planes to see what we needed and also what type of tip we needed like a tip like sharp tip or a round tip and that's what we were talking about, I made a plane that was good and had a sharp tip, it went high and far and it was so good if you have some gapes that the air can go in to the plane then it will not go high it will just go up and then right back down ,and then we had some finishing touches and some decorations and also we didn't put much decorations because we wanted our rocket to be light and go high and so it cant be brag down to earth and go up and then straight back down, Here are some of our photo's of what me and my team did for a start and also for a starter I made a big mistake and the start and then we finished it with a great finish and I also fixed the mistake.

Our school zoo trip

Kia ora world and bloggers,

Today I will be posting about my zoo trip with my friends and others. Don't forget to comment and hope you enjoy.

Yesterday I and the senior classes went as well, First we had to sort out our bags and who to share them with, Since my group didn’t turn up I had to be in another group and I was in my friend’s group and I was so happy and also after all of that we had to sort out our lunch we got pop corn and a cookie and some fruits, Then we went to breakfast and then we came back to class and watched a video and it was about all of the rules for the zoo and how should we respect the animals and how we should treat them, After that we welcomed our selves to our parent and then we went in the hall again and then went to the bus.

When we got there we went thru the rules again and then went off with our parent helper and she was amazing, First we went and saw the orangutans and they were so talented and so brave and they also were so big they were like in a cage and then went to the top and balanced on the rope and then they stayed there for a while, Next we went and saw the otters and the red panda and we saw a lot of otters they were so cute and so talented and then the red pandas were so cute we were trying to find them but all we needed to do was to be quiet and then they appeared out of the blue.

Next we went to the kid zone and the playground was so cool and so nice, There was a dragon and its mouth was so big that I could fit in the mouth and also there was a egg slide and another slide that was in a cage and the slide was awesome, After that we went to see the lizards and it was amazing we saw a snake and we even saw a  camouflage lizard and the thing was that I couldn’t see it for like 20 minutes and then I found it, It was in the leaves.

Next we  went to the place that we meet and then we had a snack and then we had a session with lizzy she was the lady that told us the rules in the start when we got to the zoo, We went and saw the animals in south africa and let me tell you the animals their was so cool, We saw a giraffe and also emu and some zebras and they were so cool and also amazing. 

Next lizzy gave us some things to look and touch, First she gave us some giraffe skin to touch but don't be alarmed it was giraffe skin from a long long time ago and it felt so nice and then she gave us what giraffes eat and the thorns and let me tell you again you do not want touch those thorns or you might get cut, Next she gave us some giraffe poo but it was okay to touch because it was glazed with glue and it also didn’t even smell when it was my turn to touch it but I didn’t want to, After that we got to see a giraffe jaw and it was so cool and the teeth were wiggley and it was so weird.

After that we went to see some elephants and they were so big they were asian elephants and soon they were going to get moved to another zoo and then they were going to get more elephants next year. They said that they are going to get gorillas at the end of the year.

Rocket launch test.

 Hello bloggers, 

This week for the Wonder Project we looked at health and safety and also test launching, We needed 1.5 litre bottles, And then you would need to put 60 pound per square inch in the bottle with the air pump and also, When your pumping you cannot go over 60 PSI, You can only launch your hand made rocket in the calm weather, If you launch it in the wind and rain you will not see clearly in the rain and if you do it in the wind it will blow to you and you might get hurt that's a hazard, Also you are not aloud to do it around car's,building's and trees and also you, you need to be add least be 90 cm away from the rocket.Here are some photo's and to show you what we really did, In the video your going to see the weather is really bad but we really needed to launch the rockets, Hope you enjoy, And don't forget to comment. ENJOY THE PHOTO'S.

Food for thought class session

Hello world bloggers and people,

Today I will be sharing my learning from our Food for thought session. Last week, we had a Food for Thought session and we learnt about how much sugar are in fizzy drinks. The most surprising sugar amount was in the Coke bottle, there were 33 teaspoons of sugar.  That's a lot of sugar for a person, sometimes I see kids drinking a whole bottle of Raspberry soda on the way to school. Five teaspoons of sugar is the recommended amount per day.

Sometimes, you can find sugar in bottled sports drinks, it’s important to read the food label. Most of the time, kids don't know how much sugar they are consuming. Here are some photos to show you what we did in our session.
