Borax Crystals

 For our Opt-in workshops, I chose to do Science about Crystals. We had some hot water (not sure how much) 2 tablespoons of Borax and Food dye which is optional. At first, we created our swirl that helped form the crystal with a pipe cleaner, then we wrapped string around both the pipe cleaner and ice block stick because the pipe cleaner could not touch the sides or bottom. But don't stir it too long there should be a tiny bit left at the bottom before putting the pipe cleaner in. Our group decided on Green. We waited over  night and they have grew a bit but need longer to grow bigger.

Inquiry. 'So what'

This is my inquiry using the question: " Should animals be kept in zoos". My opinion is that it looks great and is a supernova! I was not here for two sessions and did not get most of it done at first. I have done and I think that it looks really good! I tried to make it pop as much as I could because I wanted people to notice it. One of my favourite parts are the fonts  I have used. I reckon my Inquiry is an 8/10.

Cooking Comment!!

This week I chose to join the cooking workshop option.

On the first day, we planned and went over cooking safety rules. We had planned what vegetables we would have in it and saw what people could bring.

The second day we brang all the ingredients and chopped and sliced them. Also, Madeleine had a HUGE CARROT! Which made the soup very fulling.

The Third day we cooked it and then we ate it! It was really yum! In my soup, I had a bunch of vegetables at the bottom. It was really good and I thank you for letting us cook!


The part I liked most was eating it because it was delicious and was very fun to make. Another part I liked was planning and going over the safety rules because it was like spot the object.

Literacy Investigation!

I have done my Literacy Investigation and because I can't print it I thought I would put it on my Blog! This is My literacy investigation from last week and this week!

My Letter of the Week!

I have done my letter of the week this week! I liked the letter A because it was challenging since it was a vowel. Even though I am at home today I really wanted to make sure I would come back and not be behind on literacy. This is my Letter of the Week!

Cross Country Reflection

Cross Country Reflection 2020


This year I participated in the NPS Cross Country held at school on the Ngatea Domain. I ran in the 10 yrs age group.

I am most proud of completing the race because I ran jogged and sometimes walked. I came 15th or around that I tried and tried but I could not push myself so much that I would be sick. I am not that proud of coming that because I tried my hardest but that’s what’s important!

I think my effort towards our training at school was not the best because I thought we were doing it out as south farms but we were not. So I think that I should have pushed myself more and done more training then I would have done better.


I showed the Learning Power of Resilience by Pushing myself as hard as I could by running the hardest I could but paced myself well. I tried my hardest and supported others. I don’t really enjoy it but I tried! I also would have liked it better if it was south farms but life is life!

Letter Of The Week!

This is My letter of the week. We did the letter S. It was really fun and enjoyable! My favourite was the one where you had to try and make up as many words with your letter in it! This is my Letter of the week!!!
