Our volcano experiment

 W.A.L.T. See the reaction between baking soda and vinegar.

Today our class erupted our volcanoes. It was a terrific experiment and was quite a sight. The way the volcano erupted was because the vinegar which is acid and baking soda which is a base. (polar opposites). When they are put together the two ingredients cause gases like carbon dioxide. When the volcano erupted you could hear the hissing of the carbon dioxide. And we saw a red bubbly substance rushing down the side. We added red dye for the affect. For the past two weeks we have been paper maching and painting our volcanoes. A lot of effort went into these volcanoes and it was cool some other classes got to witness this reaction. 

Next time I would add a lot more baking soda for the eruption to go way bigger and look slightly cooler. Though is was still an awesome experience. 

Do you think this experiment would be interesting to try?

Seven Sacraments

Do you know the seven sacraments?

In this slideshow will provide the seven sacraments, and what happens.

Here is what happens in the sacraments, just look through this slide.

Volcano Eruptions

 Have you ever wondered how a volcano erupts? To be honest I have not. I just thought that the lava builds up and up and then over flows. But I found out there is more to volcano's then meets the eye. From the vent/chimney, the magma, lava, molten rock and heaps others. I hope that my google drawing is a lot more helpful than this little flick of writing. Have you ever been to a volcano?

Maori Emotions

 Today I finished off my Maori emotions. It was heaps of fun picking what picture to go with each emotion. I also added a audio for you. 

It was so much fun.

Greetings in Maori

Book Character Day

 Today at our school we dressed up as a book character. I decided to go as Piglet, from Winnie the Pooh. At school were are going to have a fashion parade, and maybe some games. After a little bit one slither of white fell off of my nose.

I chose this outfit because Piglet was cute and I thought it would be perfect. 

 

Summary on the Hushed

 W.A.L.T. Identify the deeper meaning within the text.

For Reading yesterday I did a summary sheet on the Hushed a story about people being Hushed. Tre the main star and him coming to a new classroom.

I think the story was very creative and full of imagination, the author is Paul Mason.

I hope you like this summary thing, come back to my blog sometime.

Synthesizing The Promise

 W.A.L.T. identify the deeper meaning in a text.

For Reading today we synthesized the text of The Promise. It is about a bunch of teenagers in a bunker to survive bad air. I didn't mind the activity it was fun I guess. I was in a group of 3, you didn't have to go in groups but Kata, Max and I did anyway.

Here is my synthesizing sheet I hope you like it.

How to simplify a Fraction

This is a blog post on how to simplify fractions. Will start with a simple fraction to simplify, then a harder one. Simplifying fractions is making fractions simpler. 

Lets start with 9/12, so what times what is 9. 3 x 3 is 9 so we can put 3 on the top. Know since we timesed it by 3, what times 3 is 12. Answer: 4. The fraction is now 3/4. That's your answer to simplifying  the fraction 9/12. To be honest that goes under as small and kind of big. So I won't hold anymore of your time, thanks for coming to my blog. Leave a comment.

The 7 Sacraments

W.A.L.T. Understand the meaning of sacrament in our lifes.

For R.E. today I answered a document which had the 7 sacraments, I peered the sacraments up with their icon and bible verse.

Here is which bible verse for which sacrament.

Confirmation - John 20:22

Baptism - John 3:5

Anointing of the Sick - Mark 5:34

Reconciliation - Mark 2:5

Marriage - Matthew 19:6

Holy Orders - Acts 3:3-6

Eucharist - John 6:56

Respect towards: others, ourselves, animals, and environment.

 For R.E. the past two days I have been working on a DLO on how I can show respect to.....

• The environment
• Others
• Ourselves
• Animals

I kind of liked this activity, it wasn't my favourite but it was still interesting. I liked picking fonts and the background though.

I think next time I am going to make the boxes bigger for more ideas, and pick a theme for the text and background. 

I think if one day you are looking for something to do, this is perfect for you!

It gives you something to think about.

This activity helps remind you to show respect. And it lets you see how you show respect.

Here is my DLO. I challenge you to make your own and add a different box, one that I don't have. For Example: Community. I would add community to one of my boxes.
