Sunflowers so far

 Chantelles was the first to sprout a wee shoot!
Today I was eating my breakfast when my step mum said " Hey Chantelle come and have a look at this" and she showed me the yoghurt pot and it had a little sprout coming out of it. And as you can see there is not enough soil because my step mum was holding it in the car when we went to the pharmacy yesterday, and she dropped it and it went all over the car, but on the bright side my step mum needed to vacuum her car anyway.

Then came Steph's Miss Sunny....

Interesting word:

A test to see if I am a robot - see it: a child from our class mentioned!

Interesting!

Being Sick for Ages!

Second week of term Three I had fell onto some Boulders and tore a Muscle in my back. A few weeks after that I Gastroenteritis (tummy bug had to go to Hospital.) After that I had a Stye and Chicken pox. Then I had a sore stomach on my right side and we went to Starship and they thought it was an Appendiex but it wasen't then it spread all over my stomach, to my leg which was swollen then to the rest of my body. We then had to go to Waitakere Hospital, we stayed there for three or two days. The Doctors there said that it was just left over pain and I was in a wheelchair for two days. But to cheer me up my lovely class made me a nice hard working card for me.:) Ohh what horrible term! Abigail :)

St Johns

THE ST. JOHNS

Yesterday Room 22 went to St Johns to learn about the emergency. We first had a look at the ambulance for the people who helps in the emergencys. We learnt why there are lights and sounds on the car for police, ambulance and fire fighters. It was for the people who were in their ways, because the sound means to get out of my way, I am in emergency. But most of all, we learnt about the ambulance.What was in there and why is it so tall and wide. The reason for it is when you were in the truck and there are two people in the truck, the wideness of the truck makes it fit and the tallness let you stand up, and reoson for there are black windows on the ambulance is people do not like to see all the bloods from the people. Then we did a little game. It was called the

''Action Game''. 

''how to play Action Game''=

First, we make an action for the police, ambulance and the fire fighters. Second, one person show an picture about the problem and other people have to do the action for the police, ambulance or the fire fighters or what ever what person it needs (not calling out). We also practiced tighing the strips on the arms or the legs. After, we practised calling in 111. We have to tell them are you calling fire fighters or the ambulance or the police and you also have to tell the details about you and the problem. Now, the last, St Johns gave us the nice cool apples, and we went back to the class.

The amazing EGGsperiment

Room 22 did an excellent science experiment and it was called the amazing EGGsperiment. First we boiled 4 smelly eggs, Miss Cheeseman hates eggs! We had to peel the shell off the eggs, it was a messy job but we still did it, one was a disaster but it worked out fine. We had to try and get a boiled egg into a glass jar that was too small for the egg but without breaking it. It was time to burn the paper, Miss Cheeseman put the rustling paper in the jar then Henderson swiftly put the egg on the jar. But the paper kept on burning out, so then Kiana came up with the idea to use newspaper and it worked in the big jar. We tried again in the little jar but it didn't work but the egg that time got halfway through though. We were very pleased that one of them worked.We learnt that the egg slides down because fire needs oxygen and when we put the egg on top it blocked the oxygen and the air outside the jar pushes the egg into the jar.
Hopefully room 22 had a great time.                       By Kiana and Chantelle

                                      

Swirly Milk

Last week we did a science experiment called Swirly Milk. First you put milk in a big bowl, Secondly you put in four different colours in four spaces and Thirdly you put a little bit of dishwashing liquid in the middle. Once you have done that then because of the dishwashing liquid it doesn't stay in it's own territory it spreads and makes a spiral with all the different colours.It does it completely on it's own - like a volcano

Our Train Tracks Trip

Last week we went on a walk with Room 1 and Constable Dean. We walked all the way from school to the train tracks! When we got there we sat down for a while then Mrs Brown said that 6 groups of us can cross the tracks BUT we need to Stop, Look and Listen. If we just walked straight away without looking we might get run over by a train. Once we crossed the tracks we waited and waited till one train came past and was very quiet in the distance but not right up close to us. We were all on the ground feeling the vibration of the train coming past. We all wanted it to beep so Gabe said " Pull the bell". They did then everybody blocked their ears. After we had finished the train thing Constable Dean tried to see if we all remembered the safety rules, like how far do you have to be away from the train tracks the answer is 1.5 metres away from the tracks, otherwise you will get whipped up underneath the train, that will not be good.

The peppery skin!

BEFORE

Yesterday Miss Cheeseman found  an experiment. Then she decided room 22 should do the experiment we had a bit of help from Miss Cheeseman. It was called the peppery skin. We found out that water has skin sometimes you can't see it.
This is what we did: we put water into a bowl then we put loads of pepper in the bowl .After that we put a drop of dish washing liquid then the pepper got scared and ran away to the edge because water has a skin layer and when you put pepper and a drop of dish washing liqud the skin layer breaks.

Animal court

Yesterday a drama group from the drama box came into room 22 to do a play called Animal Court. It was based on the after time of the Miss Tortoise and Mr Hare's last race. It was in a court room where there was Mr Hare, Miss Tortoise, Miss Fleece, Mr Fox, Court Registrar, Mr Stoat, Farmer Brown and the Judge.
It was all about Mr Hare complaining that Miss Tortoise poisoned him on the race day because Miss Tortoise put some white powder on it. But it turned out to be Mr Brown who had put pesticide on his carrots to stop Mr Hare from eating his carrots. Mr Brown had not known about the race. "Lets celebrate with a cup of carrot juice" said Miss Tortoise to her lawyer Miss Fleece. "I'll race you". My favourite bit was when Miss Tortoise said "I'll race you.
After the whole show we did 3 things called thought alley, hot seating and tap the character. Thout alley is when the class gets into 2 lines and a character walkes by and you have to say what you think their thinking or feeling. Hot seating is when a character sits on a chair and the class asks questions about their character and they answer.

Ramadan

This month Muslims are celebrating Ramadan.
Ramadan is a month where muslims do not eat or drink anything during the day. We do this because our god gave us food and drinks. So we should't be playing with food and water or our god might take away all our food and water. So this is why we do Ramadan to bless our god and thanking him for giving us muslims food and water. For kids the most striking thing about Ramadan is fasting. Children sometimes go crazy and have a tantrum when they are doing fasting. For example celebrants spend more time with there family. Ramadan ends with a celebration called ' Eid Ul Fitr ' (eed al fitter) or the festival of fast breaking. Eed ul fitr lasts for three days. During the celebration, children get gifts from relatives and their parents.

100 days of learning!!!

100 Dice [or Die]

Yesterday Muriwai pod did 100 days of learning. First we all got into our buddys. Then every person from  Room 21, had to get 100 things. When we were all sorted, we had to make something creative and all we had was the 100 things in the pack. Abby, Nikita and I, Stephanie made a penguin. Emma, Emma and I, Atalia made a flower. "Wow it looked amazing" I said to myself, and it was so cool and I loved the shape of it. The penguin was out of lego  it was hard the make into that shape it broke a lot because it was not still so it kept going side to side???
Our group's one was very easy because the only thing we had to do was do a big circle and a small circle then make the petals out of the big circle. The other thing Abigal  wanted to do was skip a 100 times. And the other thing that Emma wanted to do was say her name 100 times. And Neha typed her name on the computer 100 times. It was pretty awesome doing something 100 times but it was tiring. After Morning tea we all played maths games. I, Stephanie  I played  sting and in or out. And I, Atalia played Multiplication bingo and then I measured water. It was the best day ever...

Experiments with Natasha!!!

 (The third  Experiment when 2 - liquids turn into a solid which is called precipitation reaction )

 On Wednesday, a scientist named Natasha came and showed us 3 experiments about acids and bases. The first experiment was putting a 10 cent coin in lemon juice or vinegar.

Method :

1. One person from each group came and got a cup of lemon juice or vinegar and a 10 cent coin.
2. We put it on the table and put the 10 cent coin in.
3. We watched to see what would happen.

I learnt :

1. That fruits like lemon, orange and grapefruit are a citric acid.
2. That lemon cleaned the lemon because lemon is a citric acid and the coin is a base.

Results :
The coin got clean because the lemon juice it is a citric acid and it is sour.



The second experiment was putting magnesium in hydrochloric acid or for short you can call it HCI.

Method :

1. A different person from each group came up and got a cup of HCI and a small piece of magnesium.
2. We put the cup on the table and put the magnesium in the cup.
3. We watched to see what happened.

I learnt :

1. That it took about 1 minute to start fizzing and bubbling.
2. About 5 mins later it started dissolving into the HCI.
3. Later on it was gone.

The magnesium dissolved into the HCI so about 4 mins later it was gone.


The third experiment was a blue liquid and a clear liquid and put them together.
Method :

1. A different person from each group came and got a cup of clear liquid and put it on the table.
2. We all waited for Natasha to pour some blue liquid into the cup of the clear liquid.
3. We waited to see what would happen.

I learnt :

1. That 2 - liquids make a solid.

Results :
The blue liquid and the clear liquid made a blue and hard solid which is called precipitation reaction.


Note :


The words that are blue are scientific words.
