Jesus was Baptized News Paper Article.

Our task this week was to write a newspaper article about "being there when Jesus was baptized." We had resources to look on as well to get the feel of when Jesus was baptized.

Matariiki

Because Matariki is coming up, we obviously had to do a DLO about what we had learnt with the resources our teacher had given us. We had four resources and picked information out of all of them for our DLO's. I learnt a lot, stuff that I had forgotten like what Matariki means (Tiny Eyeballs) and I learnt new things, like the meanings of the stars.

The C.E.R.R. Café!

Kia Ora Everyone!

This week, in Room 6, our class has invented a C.E.R.R. Café! Ms. Wilton thought of inventing the C.E.R.R. Café because it would give students a nice time to relax or eat something if they're hungry. But, most things aren't free...
We implemented a system with "C.E.R.R. Tokens". The red one is for Compassion, The yellow one is for Excellence, the blue one is for Responsibility and the green one is for Respect. We are given these if Ms. Wilton see's us showing one of these values.
So that is how we pay for things. 
The year 8's have also gotten jobs to do at the Café! But not all of them. I have been assigned to a Cook. There is another Cook that works with me but he does nothing usually. Just kidding. There is a also a cashier and a cleaner. We have a cute little fake till and everything!

In my opinion, I think the Café is a really good idea and is really cute because, it is a fun way to make the class happy, it makes me happy when I serve people at the desk because their faces light up! I love "working" in the C.E.R.R. Café! 

Goldilocks!

Throughout quarantine, our class have been writing pick-a-path stories! We were split into writing groups and giving a prompt. For my group - it was this:








Next we had to do a specific amount of planning each week for our stories. Now - we're done! Here's mine:

My Cookies!

Kia Ora everyone!
Last week on friday, our task for topic was to identify changes in matter and physical change and chemical change. In our morning hangout, Ms Wilton said we could do something like baking, but the main task was oobleck. I din't want to make oobleck, so I chose to bake. Specifically chocolate chip cookies.
I made a small batch and a big batch. I used my sisters recipe, and when she makes them, they're delicious! I can't say the same for when I made them though, they kind of had no flavour.. I did forget to take photos, but they were eaten in two days!
I was confused by the changes, but my sister said that it was a chemical change.
I hope you have a great day and keep up what your doing!

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!
