We went on an adventure in a bubble!

We had a great session with our big buddies from Ruma Piwakawaka. We watched a movie about a girl going on an adventure on a bubble and then our buddies talked about where we would like to go to if we were travelling on a bubble. They had to finf a picture of that place and use it as a backdrop. Then we found a bubble picture and added it t the picture. Next they took a photo of us and used remove.bg to take away the background so we could be on or in the bubble. Finally they shoed us how to make an animation about our trip. They have added a link to their blogs where they have embeded the animations. Then it was our turn to show them something we had learnt on Explain Everything. We drew ourselves on our bubble and then we recorded our story. We had so much fun today.

Lending a hand to show KINDNESS

Today we watched a short video where we saw how when we show kindness to each other we can colour our world. We discussed as a class how we have brought kindness to our lives and then we wrote a story to share our experiences. We added an illustration to a hand to show how we are lending a hand to show KINDNESS.

Crystal from the library came to visit.

Today Crystal from the Westland Library came to visit us. She shared the story of Abigail with us and then we made a sun out of a paper plate, wool and crepe paper. The Westland Library was very kind and left our school a copy of this great book for our school library. We had a bit of fun sharing our suns and hope you will be enjoy seeing our artwork on display at the Hokitika library.

Mrs King's Egg Challenge

 Mrs King's egg challenge is progressing well. Mrs King's challenge was to see how high we could bounce a raw egg!

How do we do that we thought?

Isla had done an experiment like this before and she said that we needed vinegar, glass jars and a raw egg.

We decided to try 3 different types of vinegar. White vinegar, cider vinegar and malt vinegar.

We wondered which one would bounce the highest.

We have left them for 5 days and when we test them it will be 7 days. 

Olly said that he thinks that the shell might go away and then you are left with skin with stuff inside and yolk in the stuff inside.

We wonder if he will be right with his prediction.

That sounded interesting.

We added blue food colouring to the white vinegar

We added green food colouring to the cider vinegar.

The eggs are bubbling in the vinegar. Maybe what Olly said could be happening. 

We are going to test the eggs on Friday and see if they bounce and if they do how high they will bounce. 

We are wondering which one will bounce the highest.

What do you think? Cider, malt or white vinegar.........

This is what happened.
