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.

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. 

                   

Nz Journey, Math

Kia Ora, last week Mr Ross made us a slide with a whole lot of maths. On one of the slides we had to calculate how much gas we are going to use when we travel we even had to find out how long it takes to get there. There was about 5 or 6 slides that was in between every forth slide and it was called a daily budgeting and we had to add up all the money we used that day our budget was 500 hundred dollars I went over that sometimes. Every where I travelled we had to pay for accommodation but I hired a juicy rental so I could stay at a camp site for a cheap amount of money.  Last but not least we could do activity's every where we went in Dunedin I choose to go to the Cadbury world.

Cyber Smart Map!

 Yesterday we had a cyber smart lesson and we had to go on the site my google maps. We had to mark a lot of different places like all the schools around mount roskill which is tui mai tui atu. We had to mark things like where you family comes from, the four clusters, the school we last commented on and 5 different country's that people have commented on my blog from. The hardest part of making your own map was adding layers and putting everything in the right place the second challenging thing was finding all the things we had to put on the map.

The Magical World Of Science!

This week Waikowhai Primary School had a magical science show the people that came in to show us science and magic were Richard and Robyn. When they came in they showed us tricks that involve fire, rings, red balls, bubbles and nappies. Out of all of the tricks and magic my favourite part was the fire because he told us what we need to make fire and the three ingredients that you need are fuel, oxygen and heat. My second favourite part was when Richard made huge bubbles telling us what the thinnest object that human eyes can see and we found out that it was bubbles and that was very interesting because he made them so big. There was one bit were they told us they buy 2 boxes full of nappies so the can take out this kind of powder that is called polymer and that turns liquid into a solid.

I wonder how long it takes to get all the powder out of 2 boxes of nappies I also wonder how he was touching the fire with his bare hands did it burn him or heat him up.

Here is a picture of the magic!

My Camp Poem!

A few weeks ago we started a poem and that poem had to be about camp because 2 weeks ago we came back from camp and if you've seen my blog you would have seen my blog post about it. I named my poem Home Sick because it's about when I was back at home my mum use to make me eat a lot of meat and I missed it. When I was going to bed I had to take a seat with my old friend Pete that I made up as I was writing my poem so it could be longer and rhyme a bit more than it did with my other sentences. After we had written the poem we could get a A4 piece of paper and draw something about the poem. I drew a drumstick and myself holding meat, and going to the dinner table. Here are some pictures of the meat and my poem. While we were making the poem it was really challenging to make the drumstick perfect it was also very hard to make the poem rhyme and make scene.

Here is a picture of my poem!

Camp Booklet's

Last week the senior school went on a school camp to Mount Ruapehu. Before we went we had to start making a slide show and we had to write  what we will do at camp and what we will not do . The slides were about our stops to the National Park where we stayed at when we were there for camp. My slides were about . Snowboarding I fell on my bum but most of the time we had to be really patient then the next day when we went snowboarding I had a lesson and I didn't fall as much as I did the first day and the snow felt like ice mast of the snow was ice. The challenges I had was to keep getting up when I fell over and learning how to stop at the end of the day I learnt how to stop and I didn't give up. When we came from camp we had to finish all the information pages about camp. The information pages were about the things we did and where we went. Then after we were done we could decorate our slides that means we could change the backgrounds and the font and even photos.
