Music And Dance

 Hello blogging world,

for the past few weeks we have been working extremely hard on dance and music. We first got into groups of 4 to 8. I had a group of 8. These people were in my group: Abby, Sky, Nethya, Hilary, Sam, Amie and Darlene. You can check out their blogs too. On Wednesday we had to perform it in front of Te Waka Ako. I am really proud of the dance we made up together. There were 14 groups and only 3 groups get to perform it in assembly. Here is a video of my dance below. 

It was hard coming up with the dance but it turned out great. I was nervous when we had to perform it but fine when it was over. Feel free to comment down below and check out the rest of my learning!

The Crazy Science Show

Kia Ora blogging world,

Today our school had one bizarre scientists named Richard and one spectacular girl DJ named Robin. They came to our school to do a crazy science show. The show was based on chemicals. They started with simple magic tricks to warm us up like: red pom poms coming out of his mouth.

He then started the show with the old connecting rings trick and then some amazing rocket work. After that trick, he showed us how baby nappies work. He took out some powder from a baby nappy and mixed it with yellow water (pee). It then turned into a solid straight away. 

My favourite part of the show was when he made a massive bubble. Some of his tricks were dangerous. I loved the science show! I was surprised that a ping pong ball can float in the air with a hair drying and won't fall if the hair dryer moves around. I'm definitely going to try some at home. I learnt that wheat can't be lit up with fire. I wonder what the size is of the biggest bubble in the world. I now want to find out more about science.

My Camp Booklet

Hi bloggers, last week the most of the year 5's and 6's went on an exciting camp to Mt Ruapehu. We had a choice of snowboarding and skiing. I chose snowboarding. We had so much fun. We stayed at a hotel 30 minutes away from the mountain. We stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights. We also had other stops like the aquatic centre, Hamilton gardens and other fun activities. Along the way we had some challenges. One of my challenges were trying not to lose my things because I am a very messy person. Check out my slide underneath.

At camp on Wednesday it was also my 11th birthday. I felt overwhelmed by the cake and mini party my friends threw for me. During camp I felt nervous because I haven't snowboarded before and it looked hard. Once I got the hang of it I was having the time of my life. I'm really happy I went and I hope that someday I can go again.Feel free to comment!
