Milk Plastic? Will it Work!

For Topic this week, we are learning about "Changes in Matter". We had to identify the difference between Physical and Chemical change. After we went and learned about it there were experiments that we got to choose from that you can do with HOUSEHOLD items. I decided to do Milk Plastic Tags.
This is how mine went...

That is when I first put one cup of milk into the glass.

This is when I put it in the microwave for 2 minutes.

After adding the vinegar in and mixing a tiny bit.

After mixing for a minute.

This is after straining.

These is all the colours I wanted to make my plastic.

I added my mixture into the colours and mixed (I only used the yellow in the end.)

And Done!!!!! Now I have to wait 2 or more days for it to dry!

Why is Matariki so important to New Zealanders?

Why is Matariki so important to New Zealanders?

Some people celebrate Halloween, some people celebrate Valentine's day but for most Maࠢori people they celebrate Matariki.

Firstly Matariki is important to Maࠢori people because it is a sign that their crops will grow really well that year, and the Kaimoana (fish) will me good as well.

Secondly Matariki is important because the seven sisters bring special gifts like the plants, the ocean and nature. These bring life to us so we can survive. That's what makes the gifts so special.

Next Matariki is so important the meaning of Matariki is “the eyes of the gods”, this story is important because it has been passed down by generations.

Therefore Matariki is very special. In the time of Matariki we plan our future and reflect on our past.

Starry night & Matariki Poem...

WALT: Recreate a famous artist's painting, while incorporating New Zealand themes and celebrations!

We had to use Vincent Van Gogh's painting called "Starry Night" and we had to incorporate Matariki somehow so we added seven stars instead of 12 from the original. Then we painted it after a lot of research on Vincent Van Gogh. Then we had to make a poem about stars to represent the Matariki stars.
