๐ŸŒŸ...The Magical World of Crazy Science! ๐ŸŽฉ

                               ๐Ÿ’šHello World! My post is about the Magical World of Crazy Science!๐Ÿ’œ
Today (AKA 11 September 2017) we had a science show in the hall. The show was held by Richard & Robyn. They started off with with three rings. The rings were connected and then taken apart. I'm not going to spoil so you have to guess what each of the tricks are. Then Richard (the main guy) did this trick with some fluffy red balls. He put them in his fingers and more balls appeared then he stuffed it down his shirt and vomited it back up again. And to be honest I don't actually know how this works. Then we had a rocket experiment. In order for this to work you had to have a canister with a push lid. You also need water, plate and antacid. Then you put it together squish the bottle of water and then the rocket will go.

A nappy experiment๐Ÿ‘ถ
Then we did the nappy experiment. So basically Richard told us to pretend that the cup of yellow water was a baby with pee in it, and the cup with the powder, a nappy. He then poured the water into the cup... Then the water became solid!!!!! Actually it was a more jelly sort of substance. How it worked is because of polymer. He tried to pour it on his head but it wouldn't come out!!!!

Fire!๐Ÿ”ฅ
Then we had a experiment with fire. We had a look at what caused fire. Gas, heat and oxygen. It was so cool! Richard demonstrated afterwards. Then we had a little firework. Richard grabbed the fire and threw it in the air! Swish! A spark flew into the air. ๐ŸŽ‡

Water...Different ones๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿง
We also learned about the different types of water, solid, liquid and air. Solid being ice, liquid being water and air being vapour./steam.

Air, wind and so on๐ŸŽˆ
Then we experimented with hair dryers and leaf blower. We learnt that shockingly when the leaf blower blows the toilet paper it is actually air molecules causing the toilet paper to move. We also put a ping pong ball on top of a hair dryer and it floats. If you put two it's harder. And if you put a toilet paper roll the air goes through so it doesn't float and if you out a ball through it it will bounce up high because of the pressure.

Bubbles...POP!๐Ÿ’ฅ
Then we had a look at bubbles. Most people won't think much about bubbles but, it is actually a very interesting topic. Bubbles are the thinnest things that humans can see with the naked eye. And it reflects a rainbow because of the particles in the air. It was cool when Richard made gigantic bubbles.

End/Reflection
Soon it was the end... but we did have a lot of fun though. My favourite part was the fireworks๐ŸŽ† because, the toilet paper bit and the bubbles. Lots of the cool science tricks are illusional I think. I wonder what other interesting, wonderful and wacky topics there are that maybe I could work on when I get to Intermediate/High School.

Today (AKA the day before camp! Going to Mt Ruapehu) after our fruit break, we did TinkerCad, we had to design a playground. Mine has lots of interesting things and my playground favourites! I hope you like it! By the way, if you want to use TinkerCad, then you should look at your creation from all perspective to get your creation in the right place.

Mt Ruapehu (the one next to Mt Doom๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ฟ๐Ÿ’€) ๐Ÿ”

                                       ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‚☃ Hi Everyone! My post is about...❄⛄๐ŸŒจ
My Camp, Mt Ruapehu ! I loved Camp so much! You could choose from either skiing or Snowboarding, I chose Skiing. WE all had to start at Happy Valley but some people got ot go to Rock Garden. My group was purple and it was the starter group. More of this information will be down below in the slideshow. At first I was super scared and I couldn't even get both of my skis on! Then the next day after some help from Miss McGrath (and a bit from Zofia/Rauil our ski instructors), Then I could ski by myself without help or poles, I had to hold, my ski poles in front of me and do the Snowplough all the way to the place where Zofia put her skis. Then she taught me how to turn, she said it is very dangerous (I'm not sure whether she was joking or not). She is so funny! On the last try, she said " Hilary and
Death... Episode 1, oh no, it's episode 5." She also has an accent, I'm pretty sure it's Spanish, same as Rauil. After that we had lunch, I hated the lunch packs! I liked last year's way better... do you know why? It's because this year's is all snacks, so instead I bought my own lunch for two days. On first day, I had the worst fall in my life, I fell down on the travellator after tobogganing twice ('cause I got up then fell down again) then a nice lady pulled me up again, I thank her! So that's why I'm NEVER EVER EVER going back on a  toboggan again! We stayed at the Park at National Park. Our cabin was Room 61. Another exciting thing; The school that I'm going to next year was there, it's called Diocesan's School for Girls, also known as DIO.  Only some of the DIO girls went to camp there.  We also went on the chairlifts, it was so much fun! But at the last stop I got bumped by a chairlift because I was too slow. In whole, I loved camp!!!!!!!๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿ‘ฑ๐Ÿ‘ด

Student Toolkits! ๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘ง

                                             ๐Ÿ‘ฌHi blogging audience! My post is all about...๐Ÿ‘ญ
                                                         Student Toolkits! Yes you guessed it!

24 people got chosen to go to the Student Toolkits on Thursday 17th August (obviously) 2017. Some of the people included me, Dora and Joyce, my friends. It was held at New Windsor School. When we first entered we went to the auditorium and got our name badges with our sessions and names on them. There was this SUPER cool coding challenge at first, (I thought it was going to be one of those boring coding challenges, but turns out it wasn't) it was to get Sphero balls around cones and come back, it was a race. Sphero balls are these small robots that light up different colours. I've played with Sphero balls before at MOTAT in Auckland New Zealand. Afterwards we got to go to our first session, it was Powtoon. Powtoon is when you have a slideshow and get to decorate, it is very fun and cool. I might have my slideshow put at the bottom. Our second session was Prodigy. We have already played Prodigy before, I taught my friends how to get a home account because apparently Joyce (who introduced the game to me) doesn't even have a account, why you might ask is because her sister has a account! Joyce is currently level 35 and I am level 26. It was so much fun! After lunch we had a problem solving challenge, it was very boring to watch so I decided to work on my Powtoon. Then we put our name card/ID into a box for the draw, one person from each school got a chromecast, Stevie-lee got it from our school. Then it was time to do the draw for the presenters, you got lots of cool stuff if you were one of the three people to get a goody bag, you got some tape, decorative tape, a photo album and a sphere-o ball!๐Ÿ”ฎ

I felt super excited about it that day, it was so fun! I didn't have any difficulties with anything even when the presenters from Christ the King School didn't lead us through the process and so we did most of the learning. It was very self explanatory.๐Ÿ‘‘

Here are some videos of our feedback, there may be some from other schools!๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿ‘ฉ

Kahoot it! ๐Ÿ˜•

๐Ÿ’—Hello online world! This is a exclusive post, it's about my Kahoot slide I made with my friends, Joyce and Dora. ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

I hope that you will learn how to make a Kahoot by the end of this, unless you already have!
The other day, when I was just doing my work, One of our teacher Mr Riceman, called some names and told them to come to the yellow area of our new building, it is quiet space. That is where Mr Riceman told us that we could choose to present either of these two things, Kahoot making or Google slides animation. We chose Kahoot. We had to sort of 'audition' for the presentation part. This is what we call student Toolkits. I hope we get in! Don't you? Anyways, Mr Riceman begged and pleaded Ms Sands to let us work on our presentation in this block, Mr Riceman 'knows'  we'll catch up. So the we made it and colour coded it. (it wasn't much help, but at least I got to decorate the slide!) And as you can see, this post is to make up for the blogging sessions we missed, but it's also because I thought that it would be a good idea. Now this slide was NOT hard to make, BUT it did take a while. I hope you like it! (and the Kahoot about general knowledge on New Zealand and Australia, since we live in New Zealand, that Dora made!)๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘ฉ

Learn your Suffixes! ๐Ÿ’ญ ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Hi Everyone! Today my post is about Suffixes! I hope you learn something new!

We had a literacy task board and we were allowed to choose a task to do ( unless your teacher tells you to do a task on there) I chose to do a suffixes poster. The poster has some examples of suffixes in it, if it is not enough then there will be a video underneath my work.  I thought that it was quiet easy to do this task, it's just that I needed help from the SUPER annoying song. Otherwise it was completely fine. I hope you don't find the song annoying as much as I do.
An example is a worker, a person who works.

My Very Creative Writing: Watchwood Forest๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒฒ

Hi everyone! Today my blog post is about my creative writing I did, it is called: ๐ŸŒฒThe girl of the forest
What I did was go onto Pobble 365 and my image was called Watchwood Forest. I found that deciding the title was kind of hard because I didn't know whether to do The girl who survived or The girl who lived, but in the end I decided to do The girl of the forest. I really liked what I wrote and I hope you do too. Also don't forget to check out my other posts and don't forget to comment!


The girl of the forest

Eyes. They lay there, staring at her, deep into her soul.


It was just the most beautiful thing Rose had ever seen, yet not many humans lived long enough to see it. You see, Rose only the most well behaved girl you’d ever seen. It’s not likely for a girl like her to go there right? I mean, the teachers and all the adults tell the kids to never enter the forest, for if you do, you won’t live to see another day. But luckily for Rose that did not happen to her.


Rose was a kind girl, and then and now she always wondered if the so called ‘gruesome creatures of the deadly forest’ could actually be kind. She lay in her bed thinking about the thought, then, suddenly a thought struck her. She knew what she had to do, she slowly crept out of bed and made her way to the hanger where her coat lay. She was ready.
