Novel Study

               

  A few weeks ago we were given a book for our reading activity. I got a book called Dunger. With this book we had to read it then we had to write a review about it. My book was about two kids called Melissa and William they were promised a trip to queens town but when the time came there parents didn't have enough money. Then the kids were trapped into going to their grandparents Bach to clean. They were promised 1 thousand dollars each. At the end of the book they were in a hospital waiting room because their grandma had low blood pressure when the kids parents found they came. William was sleeping when he woke up he said he wasted 7 hours of his day. 

Did they get money?

                      

Waitemata Soap!

In the few past weeks of school Te Waka Ako has been preparing things for our school gala. Our school gala is to raise money for our junior kids playground. .Waitemata  is making soap our soaps have different smells and colours some even have glitter. Some of the soaps are made of Shea butter and some are glycerine. Our Different smells are cotton candy, chocolate fudge, Ginger, Mango and Tangerine, mandarin and tangerine, Lemon, Oatmeal and Shea butter, Orange and mandarin, Triple butter last but not least lavender. We took a long thinking about how we were going to package them then Mr Ross came up with Idea of putting the smaller ones into shells and the bigger ones on a tray. We also had to make logo and labels. In the process of packing soap was the hardest because it was so hard to tie a ribbon around the soap. The easiest part was making the soap.

To make soap first you need to get some Shea butter then you put it in the microwave for a few minutes then take it out and put it into molds be quick and wait for them to harden then you can you them.

Blog you later :)

NZ Journey

At the start of the term our teachers made us a slideshow that was full of maths it was called NZ Journey. The Journey was about travelling to the different country's that were on the slide. The country's that we had to travel to from Auckland were Dunedin, Invercargill, Queenstown, omaru, Christchurch we had to catch a ferry to wellington then we went to Palmerston north

,  Rotorua then we got back to Auckland then cape Reniga and our trip was finished. In the Beginning we had to estimate how much money we were going to use I said 7000 dollars but ended up using 6133.32 dollars.We also had to hire a car I hired a juicy rental so I could sleep in it and not waste money on hotels.



Our daily budget was 500 hundred dollars a day and we had a lot of fun activities to do in each country's they were expensive and on some of the slides it said you had to go to places that were 200 hundred dollars and some that were under 20 dollars and they were boring.
