My Chinese Kite

 
My Chinese kite with my 3 wishes. My three wishes are:

Science- Planting Bean Seeds

This year room 8 has been doing some sience experiments about planting bean seeds to take home after they have  grown, but not fully grown. This is Nastazio holding his bean plant and he is putting some water in  his cup so his plant won't get dry. I'm going to tell you the steps for planting a bean plant.

1st step is you get a container or a planting pot or a plastic cup like room 8 has. Then put a wet  paper towel into the plastic cup and get your seed and place into your plastic cup.
2nd step is you take your bean seed out of the plastic cup and put some soil into the your plastic cup and make a finger hole in the soil and place the bean seed in the finger hole and cover the bean seed and then go to a tap and grab a sponge and soak it. Then squeaze the water into the plastic cup and put your plastic cup on the window sill in the sun. Then watch it grow!!

Term 3 Reflection Making The Taniwha

Last week room 8 started to draw taniwha's upside down. Mrs Hood told us to turn the white paper around. When room 8 finished the taniwha we all had to turn the paper the right way up  and when we all did  the picture looked like a taniwha that goes on the side front or the back of a Marae. Taniwhas's are brown  with oyster shells for their eyes. Most of the taniwha's around New Zealand  poke their tongues out and their eyes have to be really really big. Do you know what happens to a Taniwha to make it look like one? Well Taniwha's get carved with koru's, Maori pattern's and anything you want to carve on them. My brother Judah use to carve keys for a birthday gift. My brother always use to do that for me. He carved my mum a key and he carved my dad a Taniwha.
Here is a picture of my Taniwha.

The All Blacks Competition

On Wednesday Mac's mum emailed Mrs Hood for a competition about the ALL BLACKS. We were pretending to be at the Waikato stadium and dressed up in black and also had to paint our face with black face paint. Room8 went into the hall to take a photo shoot for the competition. Aidan and Baki were the ARGENTINIANS and there were three of each person in the photo. Georgia and I were eating the 2 hot dogs, Mac and Joseph were holding the big black Silver Fern ALL BLACK flag and Oisin.Nastazio and Susanna were doing the Mexican wave.

My hip hop group was called the Inspiring hip hoppers Mrs Natasha's group was called the funky hip hoppers and I forgot the other hip hoppers with Mrs Workman.
My group the Inspiring hip hoppers were coached by Mrs Head.

The hip hop groups placing were
  • 1st was the Fluro Mob.
  • 2nd was the Inspiring hip hoppers which is mine and Quanel's group.
  • 3rd was the Funky hip hoppers.

  • 1st was the Green and Yellow team.
  • 2nd was the Glory Girls.

For the aerobics
  • 1st was the Mrs Gunns group.

We all had fun and the blue mat that we were standing on was so bouncy that's why the Inspiring hip hoppers were jumping really high too.
My hip hop hat was slipping off my head, but I'm so lucky that it didn't fall off my head though.
