Writing Reflection

my mask reflection

We made a mask to represent ourselves.                                                                                                      My mask has a cat face because I like cats and kitties
it also had flowers and glitter.
I have a kapa haka head band because I love kapa haka.
What I found difficult was trying to paper mache the mask because it kept on rolling away and it got stuck.
What I have enjoyed about making my mask is decorating it and modeling it because it was fun.

Maori phrase of the week

slowly the sky got daker

...Slowly the sky got Darker...

Sometimes me and my mum take our puppy for a fun exciting walk to the park. But this time we went to the puppy party at night outside it was fun there was one table for dogs and puppy’s and one more table for people. On the dogs and puppy table there was pet biscuits and milk and cold water and other food. On the owners table there was normal food and drink. As we looked up in the sky it was as dark as a dark black paint so we got our goodie bags and went we had fun so did our puppy.

  

Growing crystals

Yesterday we made sugar crystals. First we got a cup and then we wrote our name with a Sharpie on  the cup. Then we got an ice block and then we got a string to tie to the ice block. Then we put it in the cup. Then Mrs Natusch poured in the luquid in our cups but first we had to take our ice block stick out. After that we had to put our ice block stick back in last of all we put it on the window sill.

I cant wait to eat it when it is ready to eat !.

Glow worm life-cycle

It takes 4 stages for a glow worm to turn into a adult fly. First the egg hatches  after the eggs  the larvae comes out into the nest after the larvae it turns into a glowworm after the glowworm then comes the pupa after the pupa then comes the Adult fly the adult fly only lives for 3 days so the adult fly finds another adult fly and then it haves eggs and the glowworm life cycle goes on for ever and that is the glowworm Life cycle.

The first thing we did was going on the bus then go inside the Waitomo cave with our guide. There were glowworms stalactites and stalagmite.
 Even lime stone. The lime stone was made out of  fish scales water dirt and sea shells. It was fun in the caves. My favourite part was going on the boat i got to sit in the front we lost half of our class i had fun in the cave this was my 3rd time.The second thing we did was had    morning tea at the museum. Then we got to go in the museum there  was a big big mower bird and a movie theater and things that you could touch and all sorts of other things.The Second thing we did was listen to the man teach us about lime stones glowworms and the caves.After that we got on the bus and went to our bush walk and had lunch then we went in the bush there were little caves and stalactites and stalagmites there was lime stones all over the ground and heaps and heaps of stair and more caves and other things we even saw people coming back from black water rafting. After we were finished at the bush walk we had along trip back to school on the bus it was a super fun and exciting day.

Reflection 2013

 Reflection 2013
Today Shreeya and Manaia will be reflecting on 2013.
Manaia:  My favorite part of 2013 was middle camp because we had fun on the slip n slide.
Shreeya: My favorite part of 2013 was senior camp because we had fun in the bush walk
Manaia: The most important thing we learnt was to remember my x-tables
Shreeya: The most important thing we learnt was that every failure has a seed of success; you just need to recognize it.
Manaia: The most challenging part was speeches because I was nervous in front of my class
Shreeya: The most challenging part was caving at camp because I slipped and lost my strength a lot of times
