How does a Party Popper Pop?
We wondered how a party popper pops.
We looked at the labels on the party poppers - there is a lot of safety information.
We imagined what might be going on inside the container - we draw what we thought
Some of our theories:

We did get to POP them after we had dissected one...WITH safety glasses

Mojo's Halloween Experience
Sean, Keir, Mojo and I, had a fun time munching lollies and scaring people during Halloween. Mojo is a happy chappy but when Mojo is in Halloween mode he is.... still very happy (because of the lollies) Mojo stayed up late trick or treating so we did still have to come home at one point and that's when Mojo was sad.

''Ha ha ha!'' he cackled as he whizzed past Rock,
''STOP, STOP NOW SCISSORS! he ranted charging after him like a raging rhino who had been rammed into by an angry bull,when he found scissors Paper was hanging upside down on a branch that had fallen across a ravine.
''Get her down or I'll squash you to a pulp!''grunted Rock advancing slowly towards scissors,
''Never!''cackled scissors
''GGGAAARRRGGGHHH roared Rock charging towards scissors and knocking him clean off his feet and over the cliff

The Science of LIGHT
Check out what we got up to in science this week....
We looked at how light is reflected off surfaces using UV light
we looked at creating florescent light with tonic water and highlighter pen
we experimented with plasma balls
we looked at making rainbows with prisms and water
we wondered if we could see in the dark and discovered we couldn't - we looked in a shoe box and couldn't see the object inside until we let light in by lifting the corner of the box

The Kings castle
Today we watched a performance about a Kings castle. It was funny you would have liked it to the Kings name was king Jos and Queen Rarwine also the which grunhag and the kings brother prince Jonathen and the which put a spell on the king jos so he would win the race. And win Queen Rarwine he won and the which would have won the first child.
See the rest of the photos here......... http://tinyurl.com/l9dma3x
Today we watched a performance and it was silly as.
We loved the detail so much.
if you were there I bet you would like it to.
There is a king and a queen called Jos and Raewin and a witch called Grunhag.
Grunhag put a curse on the kings best knight and turned him in to a huge goldfish .

Te Uru art trip
On the 23 March. rm 16 went on the bus for a school to Te Uru gallery for are Inquiry we saw some of Judy Millers art and we made clay houses. We firstly made it into a ball then we made it in to a shape then we got to get three items out of a small box on each of our tables after that we had to pant it wet!
The choices were bronze, lime green and dark blue then we took them back to school and went home but we left them at school over night for them to dry and because our teacher wanted to take a picture and see them all as a town or village.

science in a van
cool thing come on!
On Wednesday I went on the science In a van lots of people were
exited there was new things on. Like how to make cloud.
Every one was laughing when the people were dancing
in front of the stage. Then they stop and walk bake then we watch
the ordinance. but that was the funny thing. and there another
thing Mister D sat on the pointy chair he side it was relaxing
but it will kind of sting with one of those sharpies.

THE MOST AMAZING SCIENCE DAY EVER
WOW that was awesome! Today I went to SCIENCE IN A VAN with my class!! Today is Wednesday 18.3.15 I was sitting in the school hall watching something sooo unbelievable it will blow your mind away... not for real!! But it is something you will want to be at more than your favourite place !!!
I learned sooo much stuff !!! I bet that when SCIENCE IN A VAN comes to your school you`ll wish it was always SCIENCE IN A VAN!!! That`s how I feel right now!!
But the person showing us everything [Alan] got a teacher [Mr. D] to sit on over 300 I think it was nails!! They blew up a balloon and got a nail...but just 1 nail and popped it...but when he sat on it he was fine!!! It`s because all of your weight pushing onto lots & lots of nails!! Like say you stepped on 1 stone it would be sour but if you stepped on lots of stones it wouldn`t be as sour as 1 stone!!!
We also got to see Alan make a CLOUD IN A BOTTLE!!! I know it sounds CRAZY but nothing is impossible... apart from wolverine and silly stuff!! ; - )

Science in a Van
On Wednesday 18th of March, I was sitting in the hall watching something sooo unbelievable that you will want to watch it more than going to Rainbows End!! My pupil in my eyes got bigger and bigger and yours should two because i was so amazing!!!
Also I learned so many science things, science words, and the show will be your new favourite thing!!!! You can watch it all day and never stop... WOW!!!! Everyone would LOVE science after the show finishes because its unbelievable and fun!!!
I saw some weird things, such as a teacher sitting on 300 nails and it didn"t hurt him... because if you stood on a lot of stones it wouldn't hurt and if you stood on one stone it would hurt you!!! Ha ha ha ha!! They popped a balloon.
These are the 2 science words I learned is... carbon dioxide and Oxygen!!

Poppyland!
Yesterday rm 16 made poppies with Phoebe and Miss Hethorn. We had a fabulous time. Some people who got stuck would get some help from Ryan and Mara [kids.] First we had to get some cardboard shaped as a poppy petal, then get some felt and trace over the cardboard shaped as a poppy petal on the felt, make sure you draw two. It was difficult to draw because the felt was hairy. Next you cut out the poppy petal that you drew. Then when your done you get a button and sew it on the middle. You have to put the needle and thread through the button and through again. It was hard because you have to try and find the hole through the felt.
Then you get a green stick and sew that on the back on the poppy.Then when your done you can put a sticker on that is white and says PEACE POPPY PROJECT.
The saw bit was people getting their finger pricked by the needle Ouch! Doing it was as saw as a bee sting. If your quick and fast you can make another poppy. When you finish your whole poppy you go to your teacher to take a picture off you and your poppy. Cheese!

the hardiest day of my life
It was Tuesday 2015 I was at the starting line I heard ready get set GO I ran as fast as I could.
I was all ready ruining out of breath I said to myself I was considering to cheat and do two laps but it got better so I did not cheat the winner of 9 year olds was Jake (not surprising) he came 1st 3 times in a row.
All the other people seamed a lot slower from far away but they were just the same.
The teachers looked more tired then the older runners.
Mr Cox called out there will be a toddler race my little brother was not here so he couldn't race.

I gave it all I had as I entered the field so close till it was over then the last person went past me but I caught up and went past them coming close to the finish line I tried to go past the third to last person but lost my breath . I almost came one place ahead but I past the finish line I was like ten inches close to one place ahead as I sat back down my friends helped me after it was the day had no more breath I drank like 1 gallon of water at lunch!

camouflage octopus.
Octopus are colour blind. and they camouflage in to the grass or seaweed. and grow as well as change colour very quickly. Their very amazing!they look like a unusual shell which people call a coral. Sometimes they can scare the predators away.
If you step on the octopus in will spray you in the face with ink because it hurts them.WOW it's not like the only trick.... they can puff up in size. and they can transform their colour or body shape. It is very intimidating!
They change their skin into light blue like the sky or like the sea. and they are very rare and their skin is sensitive. If I would pick something to transform I would pick a bird so I can fly about or a person wait I already am ha ha funny
by Mikayla
Can you spot the Octopus?
Jonathen Gorden an underwater diver reports on a rare sight camouflage octopus, he says he was trying to get a closer look at a shell that fascinated him. He was filming lovely coral in the Caribbean, when he noticed something moving, and there it was the one and only... A CAMOUFLAGE OCTOPUS!!!!!!!!!!!
But camouflage is just the beginning this rare octopus can also puff up to look more strong and powerful!
It can also spray ink into it's predators face.
Did you know octopuses are colour blind
The octopus is one of the three marine animals that are camouflage in the world. The two others are cuttle fish and squid. These octopuses are crafty little cephalopods!
If I could camouflage into anything I want it would be the ground but it wouldn't hurt or smell bad!!!??What would you choose?
Here is a video you might like to see

The amazing science of THAT DRESS!
Room 16 looked at THAT DRESS today! Most of us saw it was blue and black. 5 people in the class saw it was white and gold.
We tested some theories about if it was affected by the angle where we were. We wondered if it was affected by the eye colour of people.
We wondered if we would see different colours if we saw someone wearing it.
What do you think?
