The Intense Olympics

 

For the past week, we have been writing and watching the worldwide Olympics. I've been writing about Hayden Wilde and Andrew Knewstubb. We have been learning about the Olympics and people in the past. Hayden participated in the triathlon and Knewstubb was in rugby 7s. Hayden got NZ our first bronze and Andrew and their team got silver in rugby 7s. And today we got gold in the canoe race. The Olympics goes 1 every 4 years. I've enjoyed watching and researching about people that were in it. Have you ever seen or writ about the Olympics before? 

Art Coloring Book

Original

My design

These are 2 paintings that we had to do for cybersmart for the summer holidays to earn points to win prizes. One is the original and the one at the bottom is my design. I like mine because I have switched all the colours around so I could see how it looked like. I enjoyed doing it because you choose the colours and then tap on where the white spots are. Have you ever did something similar to this before? I got the paintings from the art coloring book site.

My Kite!

 

This is my kite that I made we had to do it for our study in energy and test it with the wind. First I had to get three bits of toi toi and tie them with string. Then I had to get some more toi toi and then start tieing them onto the kite. Once I finished I put decorations on the kite I put two feathers on both sides of the bottom. Have you ever made a kite before?

Water Science

 

On Tuesday the 9th of August, we went to a stream called Crawl-Fish-Creek. The first thing we did was we measured the water depth to see how deep it was. After that, we measured the water width to see how long it was. Then we measured the water flow by putting an orange in the water. Then we see the temperature of the water by getting an ice cream container and filling it up with water, then putting a thermometer in the water it was 9.1 degrees. After we looked for bugs, we had an ice cream container and pulling out a rock then you put your container in the way and it will come in, then we looked at it using a magnifying glass and looked at what it was. Then we went back to school.

Yesterday we made some energy with water, solar and wind. First, we went outside and set up a machine with a solar panel then we pointed it at north and 45 degrees up. Then we got some energy.

Lastly, we went over to a tap and put in the thing and then turned on the tap and the fan was spinning and at one point and busted of and went everywhere. Have you ever tried to make energy before?
