Fitness

Today at fitness we started of by standing in a circle and doing some stretches. When we finished our stretches we did 3 laps around the senior school courts. It was tiring but it was worth it because we have camp at week 5 which is 3 weeks away. After all that running we did more running which was relays. We had 2 rounds which was boys vs girls. "obviously the boys won"Not

Making chocolate

Today we have been learning about the three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) and the changes of matter. In this experiment we first got a foil paper and put some chocolate on it. Then we waited and waited until it dried. Then we ate it and it taste good.

Winter Learning Journey - Activity 2 - Day 7

Activity 2 - Day 7

Activity 2: After you have finished up in Taupo, it is time to hop back in the car and head for Rotorua – a town where will have the chance for some much needed rest and relaxation. In fact, you will visit the Tarawera Bush Pool – a geothermal hot pool that is located in the middle of a forest. The warm water in the pool comes from underneath the ground. After a few hours in the pool you feel really relaxed.

This photo is about me (Loto) sleeping. What I find relaxing is sleeping. Sleeping for me is the most relaxing position I could be on for a very long time. (Probably that's why i’m sometimes late to school.)

Winter Learning Journey - Activity 1 - Day 7

Activity 1 - Day 7

Activity 1: While in Taupo, you go for a walk around the lake and you notice pieces of rubbish floating in the water. You also notice that there is rubbish on the footpath. As you know, it is really important to put rubbish in the bin and keep New Zealand clean and beautiful for generations to come. With that in mind, it is time think about what you can do to keep New Zealand beautiful. Use your imagination and come up with three things that you could do to make your neighbourhood more beautiful. Post your list on your blog ☺

Going around my neighbour and asking them for some help to clean up the neighbourhood.

Grabbing some friends to help clean up.

Putting up nice flowers and things that will make the neighbourhood look nice and good.
