Wind powered rocket

Today we made a wind  powered rocket but first we needed to know what pressure was and what compression meant. 

Pressure means when the weight or force that is made when something presses or pushes against something else. 

Compression means the action of being squished down or made smaller. 

We used our knowledge of these new words and created our own rockets following the instructions very carefully. Here is how we created our rockets. 

 

Matriles 

Cardboard

Bambo skewers

Duct tape

Ballon

Straw

     

1. Cut out 4 Wheels 

2.Push sharp end of skewer though centre of each wheel to make a hole.To make a tiny hole. Then remove.

3.Cut skewer to allow 1 cm hangover each side of cardboard.

4.Tape straw 2cm in from end of frame. (2 strips on each axel) Make sure axels are parallel.

5.Cut ring off end ballon.

6.Tape ballon tightly on straw.

7.Tape straw and balloon.

8.Balloon needs to be resting on frame.

9.allow 10cm overhang with straw.

10.put  wheels  onto axels remarrying to keep the centre hole tight and small

11.use straw and inflate ballon

12.place on flat surface and inflate ballon

The art show

These art pieces are really cool this year, all the art is of a really high standard. Our personal faviroute is the BFG section and of course our very own artwork which focussed on the olympics. Altogether I really enjoyed it and have had so much fun. I hope you all enjoy the art show of 2016! By Brontay and Kirstin

 

The inter-school speech competition

The speech competition was really hard but fun and I can't believe I won! I got a zoo family pass for my prize! Now I'm going to go to the champion of champions competition and I'm really nervous but also really excited. I hope I get a good result when the time comes.

Miss Varcoe is off!!

Kia ora room 2! Like I promised you, here is a picture of Miss Schnackenberg and I as we left Auckland yesterday night. At the moment we are in Hong Kong, before I head off to Scotland to meet my mum! 

I hope you are all having a fantastic holiday and are keeping safe. Remember, I love you all and stay true to yourselves, YOU ARE AWESOME!!

Jane and the dragon

A book trailer is a trailer for a book to get people to read the book.in our group was Vaughan,Nadia, Shadiya Gordon and Kirstin.  It was really fun to do an iMovie together. We enjoyed it because it was really fun to work with each other.  It was really challenging for us to do the iMovie in a very short time.

Captain Flinn's missing treasure.

A book trailer is a trailer when you are doing a trailer for a book.

In our trailer we had Ane,Rana,Angela,Ayesha,and Quaid.

We loved doing our imovie because everyone was laughing at Quaid and Rana when they were fake fighting for the iMovie.

It was so challenging because we had to keep recording Quaid and Rana fake fighting for the iMovie.

A bad case of stripes

We are doing a book trailer. If you don't know what it is , a book trailer is something that introduces the book but doesn't give  everything away.When you make a book trailer it's just like making a movie trailer but it's about a book.In our group we have Isaac,Awanya,Brontay,Ashmit and William.Making this book trailer was a good experience for all of us because we get a chance to feel how it is to make one.we all enjoyed it very much and it was a lot of fuuuuuun.It was pretty challenging because it was our first time making a book trailer and maybe it might help us in our future lives and other educational things.

The cat in the hat trailer

A book trailer is a trailer advertising a book and it doesn't give away that much information.The people in our group are Rachael,Ezekiel,Paea,Monica,Ranay and Yinnara .It was really fun doing all the scenes but it was hard gathering our group to do the scenes!.Our group enjoyed making the scenes because they got to add some of their ideas to our trailer which made our trailer awesome!!.It was challenging for us because we had to reshoot the scenes with the cat in the hat and because our group was mucking around.🤗

Spirt of hope

It was amazing we worked really well together,we got to to have fun there were a lot of disagreements,but we got through it we got to learn more and about each other it was a good experience.

Yes It was challenging,for girls to work with boys because we all know how boys are sometimes,but we got along.

Speech contest

Today we were standing up there with glossophobia. We were absolutely petrified. But we both did really well. Kirstin got 1st place and Brontay got a participation award. Kirstins topic was how to annoy your older sister and Brontays one was public speaking.we are really proud of ourselves and we really enjoyed the experience of being in the speech competition and we really hade fun!

THE END!!!!
