Garden to Table

In garden to table we weeded and planted some passion fruit and we had a picnic. We ate fritters, kebabs, quiche, and coleslaw.

Science Fair

Yesterday we had our school Science Fair. My Science investigation was about Flight

Musical Instruments

Team Awa made musical instruments using recycled materials.  My musical instrument is made out of a bottle and pop corn. It is a shaker. I painted it blue. I used glue to put on paper so the paint would stay on the bottle.

Here is a photo of my blue shaker.

Koru Art

We made Koru art with Whaea Rose by using paper to draw the Koru, then we cut it out and traced in onto foam.  We used the foam koru as a stamp to make a colourful picture on a white piece of paper.
My koru represents my granddad.
I really like the shape of my korus.
Here is a picture of me and my colourful koru art.

Balloon Hovercraft

This week we learnt how to 

B E G I N N I N G	TITLE	Balloon Hovercraft
	QUESTION	How does a hovercraft hover?
	HYPOTHESIS	I predict that the disc will move across the table.

M I D D L E	EQUIPMENT  AND MATERIALS:	CD bottle cap and dvd and balloon.
	PROCEDURE:	Step 1: glue the bottle cap over the cd hole. Step 2: Blow up the balloon. When it is fully inflated twist the end so no air comes out. Step 3: Stretch the balloon over the end of the bottle cap.  Step 4: Open up the cap and place the CD on the surface.   Step 5: Untwist balloon and let go.
	OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:	The disc moved on the table.

E N D

CONCLUSION:

The air from the balloon creates a cushion of moving air between the disc and the cd and reduces the friction across the surface.
