Expanding Balloon

Yesterday we did science and we got two bottles and put balloons on top of them. And then we put one in a bucket of hot water and the other bottle standing next to the bucket.The bottle in the hot water bucket the balloon on the top of the bottle started to blow up while the one next to it did nothing.Our task was to crate a presentation on what happened.

 

Rotational Symmetry

For the last couple of weeks we have been learning about Rotational Symmetry.Rotational Symmetry is when you rotate the shape and it will still have lines of symmetry though it.First off  I designed my rotational symmetry shape with some smaller shapes. Then once I had my design I took a photo on an iPad then uploaded it to my drive. Then I created a google drawing and inserted my photo. After I made my shape using the shapes bar. Then I grouped my shape so I wouldn't destroy my work.

Antartic weather and climate

A couple of weeks ago we went to the antarctic center and since then we have been studying Antarctica. We to pick one of three topics Weather and climate,Animals and explorers as my second choice i chose weather and climate. as one of our activities we created a weather chart recording the temperature for all of the bases in Antarctica and also we recorded the temperature for Christchurch. we visited  all sorts  of websites to look for the temperatures. Another activity was to create a water cycle about how the cycle works.

Growth And Fixed Mindset

During power time we have been learning about fixed and growth mindsets. Fixed mindsets are when you give up but Growth mindsets are when you keep on trying and never give up. One of our tasks was to create a presentation showing what a fixed and Growth mindset is.

Rainy Day

WALT : To use crayon and dye to show movement and ripples in a weather feature.

On Monday we made a piece of art showing a rainy day.  First we drew the rain and the puddles then if we wanted to we could draw a rainbow but we had to draw it dark so that the dye would go over it. 

Then we dyed it three different types of colors Grey,Dark Blue,Light Blue. We put each color in patches so that it looked like clouds.

Penguin art

WALT: To use paint to create the effect of the feathers.

A couple of weeks ago we made penguins.  

We did our penguins in steps our first step was to sketch a penguin, our second step we painted our penguin black. Our next step was to paint  the orange and yellow then we painted our white. Our final step was to do the gray and the green eye.

Addition- Two digit Place value

Walt: Is to use quick easy commuter tools to do maths.

Antarctica

Last week we went to the antarctic center because we are studying Antarctica and one of our activity were  writing a description about Antarctica.

Antatica

Ffffrrreeeeeezzzzzzing!!! Crispy,ice frostland! Antarctica is actually its own continent out of seven contents in the world.It is  also a desert because it never rains in Antarctica.

Did you know that Antarctica is 25% bigger than Europe and it doubles the size in winter because of the sea ice that forms around the land. It is twice the size of Australia and it's the southernmost continent.

Antarctica is like a frozen wasteland ,but  If you look at Antarctica closely you can see that the shape of Antarctica can look like a unicorn and other sorts of animals and people like a lion,a rhino  or, an old lady looking down.the color is a white and a gray and it can in some alleyway there is no snow but it is brown and rocky.

Amazing the snow is actually 2.5km deep amazing right.it's  hard to believe but under all the snow and ice there is actually land. Also antarctica has a volcano called Mt Erebus and is most southerly active volcano in the world.

Even though it is cold place it would be the place for adventure and to explore.
