Our Clusters

Yesterday we had CyberSmart with Gerhard. We had to add places into Google My Maps. We had to do it on the CyberSmart clusters from all over New Zealand and visitors from all over the Globe. It was hard because we had to find where all the schools in Ako Hiko cluster are. I also just learnt that there are more than one cluster in New Zealand, there are four. We are in the Ako Hiko cluster.

Crazy Science Show

Today we were at the Magical World Of Crazy Science by Richard and Robyn. It was so fun watching the show because I learnt so many new things that I never would of know if I didn't go there. I learnt that water is the only thing that is a Liquid, Solid and a Gas. My favourite part was when he was talking about a diaper and baby pee and how it turned into a jelly like solid when the pee hit the polymer. The reason why it does that is because in the nappies there is a thing called polymer which soaks up all the liquid and then it turns into a solid. I really wonder how they make that much polymer to add into the nappies all around the world. Another fact, polymer is the most made thing in the world. I think I should start learning more about science by reading more books in the library and watch more YouTube videos so I can be an expert. Another cool thing is when you mix two or more chemicals together it creates a cool explosion or a chemical reaction. Cool Bubble Video

Good Times

A couple of weeks ago we startee making some poems about camp. At this moment we hadn't gone to camp. We had to make it at least 4 lines long. We had to make it rhyme at the end of each line. We also had to draw a picture about our camp. it was hard because we had to add lots of detail to our drawing. It took me ages to finish my drawing. The easy part was planning out what I was trying to draw, But I think I did well on my poem. If I could go back and change anything it would be the size of the lettering. Overall it was a challenging making the poem look good. Here is my poem - Good Times 

The poem reads - 

I was at camp with my friends

I wish the fun never ends

We were playing touch then we saw a beast

So we ran inside and had a feast 

It was dark outside, late at night 

So we ran inside and had a pillofight

Everybody woke up to the noise 

My dad came in and said "Goodnight Boys"

My Camp Experience

Last week we had a school camp. It was amazing, we had so much fun. There was a very nerve racking build up to camp everybody was so excited for the departure to Mt Ruapehu . They had a very long drive to Mt Ruapehu, around nine hours including all the stops. Unfortunately I couldn't go on the bus ride down there because I was at something else. I was very upset that I couldn't go to to Hamilton Gardens, Kiwiana town and Taumarunui School. I wish I could've gone on the bus. But anyway here's what I've done on camp. It was a very tough four days for most people on camp, one the physical strength of everybody and two the mental strength. Because we all got frustrated a bit and got hurt a bit, but I got hurt heaps. Overall it was a really fun time and I wish I could go back there in a couple of weeks.
