Fantastic Fingerprints!

 Yesterday Fred the Moth had done their fingerprints! The reason why is because we are still trying to solve the mystery about the crime that had happened in Whetu. We had to gather ink, learn how to roll the fingers, and a piece of paper to identify which type of fingerprint it was. There are Loops, Whorls and Arches. There is also one called a Double Loop. For our Fantastic Fingerprints, we had to do all 10 fingers to see and identify which type of pattern it was. These are the results I came out with! 

Whetu Crime Case 2020

This term we are doing Crime Investagation about who had broken in and stole some chocolates! At first, we got a video from Detective Dun asking us if we could crack the case! He had told us three things to make sure to do: Freeze, Control and Preserve. Yesterday we looked at the crime scene and observed what clues and what things they had done. Today we tried to figure out some clues and evidence that could be helpful for this Crime. Mrs Heaven has taken photos of the evidence so we could have a closer look at it. We have found: A broken Vase, blood, coffee mug, blood on a tissue, liquid on a tissue, milky way bars, footprints, an NPS Pen, a Licence and more. 

Here are some photos/evidence.

The Mystery of the Missing Moji!

Today me and Tayla did the Missing Moji challenge together! It was really fun and we enjoyed it. We found out that it was the ANGEL!! The Angel has gone missing! My Favourite part was the first one because me and Tayla got confused at first but learnt what it was!

 

The Mystery of the Astronaut!

 For this literacy investagation, I worked with Madeleine and we figured out it was... HUGO! We figured out the clues and led to him. It was tricky and challenging but we got there! I learnt how to a split diograph.

Epsom Salt Crystals...

For our science with crystals, we did Epsom crystals although I got a bunch of drops in it and it turned out like a blob I tried to fix it but it turned out not very good. l tried making Christmas tree then I thought that it would be better if I tried to get crystals all on my paper! 

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.
