Greenhouses,Term 2

Last week we made greenhouses to help our seeds grow because we are doing a project on seeds and farming. Our company name is Seeds'R'us and we have gone to some farms to check out what they do on real farms. There were lot's of cool things to help out around the farm there was even one for measuring the height of the grass!   We also will be doing a lot more work on our seeds this term and the next and possibly Term 4 as well. Thank you for reading my blog!

Daffodil Day...

Today was Daffodil Day, we buy Daffodils to remember and hope that the people who are sick, dying,or are already dead from Cancer. When I got to school today, I went into the school office to buy a daffodil for Daffodil Day, and there was already a long que of children lining up to buy Daffodils and also a bunch of children leaving the office with fistfuls of faux Daffodils in their hands. Almost as soon as I left the office, the bell went for the start of school, and we were all ushered into the school hall to watch a trailer about Daffodil and to take a photo. Thank- you for reading my blog posts and make sure you get a Daffodil for Daffodil day!

Science Fair Night

On Tuesday, we had our science fair presentation night. It was a lot of fun, there were heaps of posters and science boards!  There was even one about a bendy chicken bone! My science project was about blowing up a balloon with the gas from vinegar and baking soda are mixed together in a bottle while a balloon is placed on top and inflated. This is a picture of a slime 'exhibit' about  what happens when different things are mixed into the slime , some of the things in them were: paper towels, dirt , and clay. Mrs Hannah was our judge, she walked around the whole room looking at every single ( and duo) persons science project and poster. My science project wasn't admitted on the night but, Mrs Hannah said that if I took it home and did a little bit more work on it, then she would let me go into Regionals!
P.S I did!

Term 3 Maths Grid Results

Here is my Maths Grid Results for Term 3, I am getting so much better at my times tables and getting quicker at writing all the numbers down on paper. We have two new people from Beijing, China,
who are staying here for two weeks, John and Cutie. They are both absolute whizzes at maths and John got everything right, in just under 4 minutes, the same goes for Cutie.

Farm Trip Whangara, Term 2

            1. Farm trip at Whangara

2. The cold air was so freezing cold i had to drag my jacket over my head and even that was a struggle to do in the wind that blew so hard it made you numb all over  Andrew and Renee told about seeds like Croksfoot , lotus, plantain, rye, e.c.t.

3. We trudged along in our gum-boots into the plantain field all of us were shivering. the majority of us crouched down so that we could look for, four-leaf clover. I found 4 of them very sadly 3 of them blew away when i was distracted or showing someone the clover.

4. All of the girls in our class jumped back into our mini-bus and drove along to Pa Rd to look at what the river and it's water had done to the earth surrounding the river. The water had eaten into the ground and you could see it very clearly from where we were on the bridge.

5. Then we went to the woolshed were they shaved and bundled up the wool thay had collected from the sheep. I can not believe that they expected us to sit on the pooey sacks of wool and eat our lunch!

it was so disgusting i couldn't stomach any food or water otherwise I probably would of puked all over my marmite samwich, so i just stumbled around holding my stomach.

6. On the car ride back to school us girls were practicing our kapa haka songs and solos. most of us were singing wildly and loudly while the rest of us just sang quietly to ourselves. the farm trip was so wet and cold but still a great experience.

Here Renee tells us about the different grass types and how they work and what they do on their farm. She also told us about the trials they do.
