Tuakana teina day

 On Tuesday the  majority of teachers went on courses so we had a mixture of  junior kids in our classes. We started the day with just-dance , then other classes joined our just dance mix up. After just dance we had  our  morning tea and soon after we went to the library. The junior classes also came with us so we ended the library trip with buddy reading. When  the whole class came back into the room we started planning how to make Matariki stars, my little buddy was a girl called Giselle which I shared with a classmate called Olivia. Finally we ended the day with beautiful stars which were put up in each of our classes. 

Water experiment

 On Wednesday morning we did a science experiment . We were observing on how much acid or alkaline is in different types of water . My specific group got chosen to do  the sickbay tap water , after all the  groups got their types of water we each got handed a water tester. We dipped the stick of paper in the jar of water  , our result came out as six point five  which is acidic. Another groups result came out as seven, which is neutral, but the worst water out of all of the tests was the art sink tap water , it came out as six which was the most acidic out of all the water we tested . 

Panikeke

 Today we tasted a panikeke which is a Samoan pancake . It had a  crispy outer layer which tasted delicious. When I bit into the panikeke I caught a strong scent of banana bread. It was as light as a cloud and also very fluffy. After I finished devouring it, it left a greasy layer of oil on my skin. But it washed off easily and did not bother me.

My blog profile slide

 Today my class and I made slides with Phil about profiles and we learnt how we could introduce ourselves and make people want  to read our blogs. 

Dead bee experiment

 This morning  my class and I did a science experiment about bees .Firstly the teacher showed us a video explaining the different jobs and species of  bees there are , afterwards we each got handed dead bees though I had to share with my buddy Diana . The species of bees we got handed was a honey bee worker but it was too small to investigate so we ended up using another groups queen bumble bee . When the group first opened their queen bumble bee we all got a whiff of a very stinky smell it was as stinky as rotten meat but after a while the smell slowly started to fade. The bee had hairy legs and a fluffy body , soon after , Diana and me  each started writing down our observations on our worksheets  and we learnt where the thorax was located on the bees body.
