Adventure Week

Last week we had a whole week of activities.
We got to choose out of lots of different activities.

On Monday, I went ten pin bowling, I won one game of two.

On Tuesday, I went out around botanical gardens, and around New Brighton, and took photos of different things listed on a piece of paper.

On Wednesday, I got to cook pizza, It was very filling and I couldn't eat my lunch.

On Thursday, We all went to jellie park for the day. I ended up getting bad sunburn.

And lastly on Friday, We had a fun day, But there wasn't much to do, and it got boring.

Photography Challenge

Photography Challenge

Today at school as part of our fun week, me, and a group of people went out of school.
We had to take photos of certain things with a group of 3 to 4 people, this was on a checklist that was clipped on a clipboard with a pen. we also got an ice cream at the end for one of the pictures we had to take.

Here are two collages of the photos we took.

Inquiry Update

Inquiry Update

For my Inquiry this term, Me and a group of people ran a Junior Christmas Disco. We had to organize lots of things, including what place we were going to donate to. we chose to donate all of the money we made, plus dog food donations to dog watch. they are a company that rescue stray dogs from the pound, and all the money will be going to scales and agility equipment for the dogs they look after.

We also had to organize things we were going to buy, decorations, and certain ideas like pre orders, and selling at the disco. This meant we had to learn to agree to disagree with each other.

Now all the Disco team have to do now, is donate to dog watch, which means we will get to see the dogs we did the disco for.

Overall I feel very proud of what I have contributed, and happy I get to help out the dogs at dog watch with our donations.

Today in maniakalani, we got to make a collage using different images, we used google drawings. 

Book Into Movie

This week we had to write something about a book we have been reading turning into a movie. the only book I have been reading has already become a movie, so I just had to make do with the date release from years ago.

-My Work-

Inquiry

For my Inquiry this term, Me and a few other people have been organizing a Junior Christmas disco.
The Inquiry topic is about helping people in our community, and the way we are helping out the community, and incorporating the topic into our disco, is by giving all the proceeds to a company called Dog Watch, This company looks after abandoned, stray, and abused dogs, and finds them a home when they are ready to be adopted, 

More recently we have been working on creating a song playlist and editing/printing our posters, order sheets, and also our flyers which will advertise our disco, and will contain useful information for Juniors attending the disco.

At the moment, we are working on getting our advertisements to the classrooms and buying and preparing all the decorations we are using to decorate the disco. We still need to go shopping to get our decorations and our items we will be selling at the disco.

I feel like my experience with organizing things will help us get along with our disco, and will hopefully help us in the long run.

Sherbet Science

Sherbet Science

This term we have been doing science experiments to learn the chemistry behind them. one of our
choices was sherbet.

Method 

This is how we made the sherbet

Ingredients- Plastic cup, measuring spoons, icing sugar, citric acid, and baking soda.

Step 1 Put 1 teaspoon of baking soda into a plastic cup.

Step 2 Put 1 teaspoon of citric acid into the same plastic cup.

Step 3 And finally add 2 tablespoons of icing sugar into the cup.

Hypothesis

Before the experiment, we thought that when we ate the sherbet, it would foam up and react with our saliva.
This is because we know that the saliva would react with something in the sherbet

Results

Our Hypothesis was correct, and the sherbet made our mouths foam. This is because our saliva reacts with
the acid that is in the baking soda, this makes the sherbet start to foam up. This happens because the saliva
breaks the bonds in the mixture

Conclusion

In conclusion, The sherbet is made from citric acid, icing sugar, and baking soda, which reacts with saliva
and makes the sherbet foam up in your mouth, this is because the saliva breaks the bonds in the sherbet

The Equation

In the chemistry behind the sherbet, there is an equation. The equation is the atoms used in
the sherbet, the atoms can be found on the periodic table. 

3NaHCO3 + C6H8O7 ➜ 3Na + C6 H5 O7 + 3H2O + 3CO2
