Maori Phase of the week

Today me and Kaspar created a puppetpals  about the  Maori phase of the week.

Making crystals

Yesterday we made sugar solution, you make sugar solution out of sugar and hot water. Next we got a cup and got a stick and  tied a piece our string to it. Then you put the sugar solution  in the cup till half way.
Last of all you put it on the window sill to get sunlight.

My predictions are  that the water will evaporate and the crystals will grow and stick to the string.

Waitomo Caves

Waitomo Caves

Yesterday the middle team and the parents went on a bus to the the Waitomo Caves to learn about  who discovered the Waitomo Caves and what was in there.

First the Waitomo caves  guide told us the Waitomo Caves rules even though we had already made up some of our own.When we first got in the caves I saw pitch black,on the way down the guide showed us a big rock that had come from the ceiling. When we got down to the bottom we sang a song to Brandon and Anthony.Next the guide showed us the stalactites and stalagmites. Then we went down some stairs and down the stairs were...GLOW WORMS!!! I looked at the gloworms I could see there strings hanging. The gloworm looked like a light.Next we went in the boat. After the boat we had morning tea and went in the museum in the museum. There were some fun activities and also some facts after the museum we went in a room  a guy name Ric taught us some facts. The scientific name for a gloworm is  a Archana Luminosa. After Ric talked to us we went on the bush walk.When were went on the bush walk there was a cave.

Maths

This is my maths That I did.
This is how I figured it out
I went 37+3=40+30=70
+6=76-3=73
The second problem is 350 because 100+200=300
40+0=40
9+1=10.

Netball skills

This morning we learnt netball skills with Aroha The Waikato Netball officer. We learnt to stop, pivot and defend: Here is a movie about our netball skills.

The big bad house 

When the three little pigs grew up, they decided to move into a house together. The first wall of their new house was hay, the next sticks, and the other wall bricks. They built a house that was big and it had security systems that captured the bad intruders and dropped them into a pot of boiling water. Then they each made their own families and moved out, leaving the house deserted.Then the big bad wolf came and took there house and made it as evil as he wanted. If anyone came near he would eat them. but the 3 little pigs had a plan. They would turn the security off and would go inside and beat the wolf up and put the wolf in the pot of water and get the house back to normal. They did what they had to do so now they have moved into the house with their families again.

A dark nightmare

I was walking down the road and then I saw a bright light. Something quickly smashed into me, right in the face. I thought it was a truck but then I blacked out. It was pitch black. I felt a cold shiver up my back. I quickly looked behind me but there know in there. There was a tunnel. It was long pitch black tunnel. I sprinted down it and there was a round room. Inside were zombies all around me. I was helpless! They crouched over me. I did not know what to do... they would kill me! Then someone’s head popped out of a different tunnel. It was the person who killed my father.
