Today we are doing the SLJ ( Summer Learning Journey),for todays activity I did a Summer bookmarks with my friends. I enjoyed making the bookmark,because we used watercolour pencil. It was fun to see the water full in the crevasses on the paper. I learned how to blend colours. So now I can blend colours easily, it was very fun. It was a fun challage to make the bookmark and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here’s my bookmark…

Have you ever used water colour pencils before?

Summer learning Journey

Today at school I signed up for the Summer learning Journey, We had to answer some queastions on Google forms. Once we had signed up we did a teaser week activitie. We did one about music,we did it on Groove Pizza which is a music app. I really enjoyed making the music on Groove Pizza. My song is called Beatbox.

Do you like the song ?

Science experiment

Today we did a science experiment about Pressure. First we went outside with a bit of water and a hotwater bottle/tube thing. Then we put the water in the tube and someone stood on the hot water bottle. We got up to four people standing on it and still going up. Basicly we were being lifted by air pressure and gravidy because the tube was being lifted we were being lifted. Then when it went down we went down but the water went up.

Fake news picture

Today we did another Fake news report, but instead we made a fake picture. I learnt that it is quite easy to remove the background from the picture. I can now create diffrent pictures into one picture easily. I really enjoyed finding the pictures to remove the background. I alos learnt it is not real if it is .co.com Here is my fake news picture.

Fake news

On Monday my class learned about the Northwest Pacific Tree Octopus. The Northwest Pacific Tree Octopus is a fake story on the internet that we read. Then we had to find how it was a fake website and how to find fake storys from real storys. After that we were to write a fake story of our own to put on our blog this is my fake story.

Did you fall for it?

Is it a good  fake story?

What would you do if it acttuly real?

         

Little blue penguins

Today Ruma Kereru and Piwakawaka went to the beach to look for Little Blue Penguin tracks. We got into some groups each with about four people in it. My group found a lot of tracks like Dogs,Cats,Herons and Little Blue Penguins. Once we got to the end we poured some plaster of paris in to the penguin prints and let it set. My groups came out really good,you could see the print clearly! I would like to thank Mrs Locky and all the people that helped with geting us out to see the tracks.

Writing-Story starter

On  Tuesday we did a writing Story starter about a girl who got a pair of glasses,then when she puts them on she can see something …

We are learning about Discribing things so our goal was to discribe what she sees.There was a word list of intresting words we could use, I used a few of them but not all.The picture was from Poble. 

I name my word The Land Of  Flower Cloud, I used Insprashon from Strange word on Disny.

The Land of Flower Cloud 

She couldn’t believe her eyes,There standing in front of her was a mysterious land The ground was covered with shimmering pink trees and flowers. An even more mysterious creature sat in front of her It had sparkling black scales,with extraordinary rainbow skin below them.Horns that looked as sharp as daggers protruded from the skull with muscular legs, the tail trashed on the ground making the ground tremble slightly, It was about as tall as an average nine year old and as long as a door.She gasped,It was a magnificent sight. 

Do you like the  discripton of the world?

Do you think the discription is good?

How long do you think it took me to write this?

 

 

Earthquake experimen-Oobleck

Makeing Oobleck

Today me and my class did And experiment about Oobleck. First we got in four groups of six, Then we got a little cup to put the cornflour and water. Since The corn flour is grounded so much the water can seep through it, which is called liquifaction.The corn flour and water mix was both solide and liquid so when we applyed pressure it was solide and when we did not apply preeser it was liquid. it was hard to push our fingers through the mixter.
