Water - An Amazing Substance

We are using water to help us understand different scientific  concepts. 

On term 4-week 2 we did water science with Te Tinana. First we learnt that water evaporates faster in the sun then in the shade.  Then we learnt that if you get a plastic cup a ice cream lid and half a cup of water, something very interesting happens.  What you do is put half a cup of water in the plastic cup then you cut a square big enough to go on the top of the plastic cup so there are no gaps on the top of the cup.  Flip it up side down and then you take your hand of the ice cream lid.  This creates a vacuum and seals the lid to the cup.

The Great Reading Adventure

We are learning to write a moment in time about our class assembly.

Finally the day has arrived I have exploding bag in my stomach! When it was my turn I feel nervous because my mum is in the audience. I am in the Maui and the sun group. Jesse’s music came on and he was walking  up and down the stage waving his arms when the music went faster Jesse went faster. When Jesse went past Hunter and his brothers and me and the other narrators, it was our turn to get up. I was really nervous, my body was shaking in fear. When my turn was over I felt good the rest of it was hilarious.
