Would you rather

In literacy Mr Breach's literacy class has been doing some fun would you rather this is Aliyah and my would you rather do you agree with my ideas

Science Change

This term in science we have been learning about chemical reaction and this is what I made to show what I have learnt doing so.

SCIENCE!!! YAY!!

This term we have been doing science and this time we  were mixing two reactants to create a product and writing our hypothesis before we  did our experiment and writing what happened after the experiment.

What do you think will happen? I think that when we mix the two Reactants they are going to fizz up and create a chemical reaction making foam and gas the gas will force the cork to fly out and the foam may over flow.

Reactants	Vinegar, Baking soda.
Product	Gas, Foam.
Chemical Reaction	When we mixed the two Reactants they fizzed up and created a chemical reaction making foam and gas the gas forced the cork to fly out and t he foam over flowed.

Was your hypothesis right/ wrong? Why? My hypothesis was right because I have done this before except without the cork and the no mater what the cork had to shot out because the cork was the weakest point and the gas was far to contained because there were no other holes.

Water Cycle

This term we have been learning about the water cycle . there are four stages to the water cycle and they have a specific order the order is  evaporation , condensation precipitation and collection . The water cycle is important because if we didn’t have a water cycle we would have a drought because it needs to rain.

Chemical reactions

I am starting to learn about chemical reactions, I am starting to learn about change I learnt this...

Chemical Reaction

A chemical reaction is a process where you combine two different types of chemicals
and can result in a nuclear reaction or a new type of chemical.

Reactant

A reactant is some sort of item or chemical that is going to be used with another
item/chemical to create something new.

ANZAC Day for me

For the last week my literacy group has been looking at a box that we got in the mail. Inside the box there were some things for World War 1.we were asked to think about what they ment. Aliyah and I wrote about the football team and we added some of our own photos.

ANZAC Day for me

I think that the story Thirteen Served Five Died was a very stern and sad story. I can’t believe that the population in New Zealand  in 1914 was only 1,095,994 and 194,254 went to war that's 10 % of New Zealand . I never knew that Anzac day was so important until I read the story Thirteen Served Five Died.

I'm Bella the Bunyip

Hello Townspeople

Please don’t kick me out of your billabong.
I could do many nice things for you for example…

I could attract tourists and you could sell them souvenirs to get a lot of money.
I could jump right out to scare them.
They’ll love it! They’ll pay you heaps.

Did you know I could save your life if you got attacked by aliens
 because I could use my snapping jaws and scratching claws and scream
AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGG at them to scare them away?

By the way I love children and I could star at their birthday parties.

Do you get my point? I could be the best entertainer in the world.

Sincerely

Bella the Bunyip

Show Don't tell adventer

Show don’t tell adventure 19 / 2 / 18

‘Splash’ goes the water directly into my face,  when I went to a swimceter that was connected to a library on Sunday . My family came along with me, I went there to read and swim because what's better than reading and swimming?

First I got my 2 dollar wristband because you need it to go on the hydroslide , because I love going on the hydroslide IT IS AWESOME.

Next I put my 50+ sunblock on because i’m pale white and don’t wanna  get sunburnt, because sunburn and swimming is NOT FUN.

Then I decided to jump in the water because I wanted to be prepared for the cold water of the hydroslide.

Later on I went on the hydroslide with Kate emma smalls big sister to try convince emma to come on the hydroslide with Kate or I.

After That I decided to go into the library because I wanted to do some reading, play connect 4 and get an ice-cream.

In the end I had the best time ever!!! Because I got to play with Ollie, Ryus, Kate and Emma next time I wanna go to the Jelly swimplace.

Day 4

Day 4: Hitting a High Note…

Activity 1: The Waiata - A Song in Your Heart

In the past, Māori would often use song as a way of sharing information or communicating emotions.  A waiata is the name given to a traditional Māori song. One of my all-time favourite waiata is Kia Paimarie. What about you?

 poi-e

Use Google to research traditional Māori Waiata. Listen to a number of Waiata and read the lyrics. On your blog tell us which one of the waiata you found you like the most. Why do you like it? poi e because there is a part for girls only and boys only

Activity 2: Playing Games

Hundreds of years ago, young Māori children were taught to play a number of games, including Poi Rakau, Ki O Rahi, Koruru Taonga and Poi Toa. Read about each of these four games on the Rangatahi tu Rangatira website. Have you played any of them before? Poi Rakau is restricked, I have not played nor heard of Ki O Rahi, / Isn’t it cool how the games have been passed down for generations?

Choose one game, and on your blog, tell us the (i) name of the game, (ii) the goal or purpose of the game, and (iii) two rules.

Name: 

Kōruru

Also known as 'knuckle bones'

What you need:

1. 5 stones the same size, similar to the size of a 20c coin
2. Floor space

How to play:

Throw stones up

Rules: 

I don't think there are any

You could try playing some of the games with a friend.

Bonus Activity: Musical Festivals – Matatini

In New Zealand, a huge festival is held every two years, called Te Matatini. This performing arts festival celebrates the tikanga (culture or customs) of Māori. Kapa Haka groups from around New Zealand are invited to attend the festival and each group gives a 25-minute performance. The performances are judged and the best teams win prizes.

The gold medal winning team from this year (2017) was Te Kapa Haka o Whāngārā Mai Tawhiti.

Watch these three clips from previous Te Matatini festivals.

1. Te Puku o Te Ika because it is sad

2. Te Iti Kahurangi because i like the tune
