Bee facts

In our class we have been learning about bees. On Monday Mrs McCormack brang her bees into our class in a glass hive. We did a google slides on bees and 5 facts. I found learning new facts enjoyable but I found putting my slide on my blog difficult.

Summer

In Room 1 we have been doing descriptive writing. I enjoyed voice typing but I found describing the wind difficult. 

Outside, the refreshing warm beach was calm. Boiling soft sand glimmered in the sun. The cool breeze was still. As I ran in the house, I still heard the calm beach, saw the glimmering sand and felt the cool breeze blowing on my back. 

                                                                                                

Science fair

For the past three weeks we have been doing a science fair. I enjoyed doing the experiment but I found writing about the experiment was hard.

Mix it up

 Why do some ingredients disappear when you mix them together why don't others?There is two substance that cannot be chemically combined if you put Iron filings with Sandro you can remove it with a magnet. Then if you add water to the Raro and sand, the sand will think and the Raro will float. Then put a paper filter and get a cup. And the sand and will stay in the club paper flu filter. To get the row back to Crystal you keep it in a container in the sun for it to evaporate.

Rock Climbing

 During our visit to Wellington, my family and I visited the waterfront and we came across a place to go rock climbing. My dad made sure I was safe by giving me a special harness and keeping the rope attached to me.  I first climbed the beginner wall which was colourful with animal artwork. Then I went on a real rock wall. This one was a little harder and it had a small cave in the middle. I made it to the cave. After that, I went on a much harder climb. The climb was still on a real rock wall and it was overhanging at the ceiling. I made it all the way to the top and the overhang was really tricky. Sometimes I fell off the wall but I was safe because my dad had put the harness around me and the rope kept me securely hanging. The last one I went on, I had seen two other girls try it before, but they couldn't get to the top.   When I got to try it, I made it to the top! It seemed like it was going to be hard but it wasn't as hard as I thought.  At the end of the day my muscles were aching and I was tired but it was totally worth it. If I ever did it again, I would try a much harder one. I loved it.

Wellington Zoo

Wellington Zoo During the holidays my family and I went to Wellington. We visited the Wellington Zoo and it was awesome. We saw baby otters, kiwis in the dark, red pandas, lions and giraffes - one of them had lost an eye because it had an infection. We also saw shingleback lizards and pinecones that my mum thought were shingleback lizards, haha! I got up close to a cheetah and my little brain was about to explode! We saw a sun bear, a tiger and a small family of monkeys. The monkeys were really, really funny. One of them tried to eat my sister’s apple. We went to the Creatures HQ and saw four different species of scorpions, a few less species of tarantula, a snake and enormous grasshoppers. We saw African houses and one of the houses was a bedroom, one was a kitchen and one was a classroom with drums. At the end my mum took a photo of me against a glass bottle wall to learn about recycling. I felt like our zoo trip was worth it even though I was tired.
