Balloon Rocket

Lilly, Braeden and I did Balloon Rocket for our Science fair. A Balloon Rocket has balloon taped to a straw and the straw is slipped onto the string. You let go of the balloon and watch it zoom along the string.  We discovered that the type of balloon's affect how far and fast it goes.  Our group worked very well and were sensible.
Check out our imovie of our experiment.

Here is our science board 

My Holiday

Crrrr crack! My fun family and I were walking down windy wellington in our shoes. My mum told me to speed up a little cause I was as slow as a turtle. We arrived at this massive 4 floor museum named Te Papa. There were people filling the Museum from all directions. There was a tall lady standing in front of a fountain and she told us to put our bags in the bag area so we did. My family and I were now on the second floor. Then suddenly we were lining up in a BIG line to go to the Galipoli area. It was as big as 2 class rooms. Half an hour later we were in the Galipoli area. WOW! there was a big man statue in front of us. It was so realistic. It had the hair, eyes, skin colour, a dirty nose, wounds on the body, eye brows and whiskers. There were voices coming out of speakers that were on the wall. There were a whole lot of facts about them and old photos. But my FAVOURITE part was the little figures in their little trenches, eating and shooting. We carried on to hole where you look through with glass. You press a red button and the glass breaks. There was a statue of a nurse crying. It was soooo emotional. Also we had to grab a paper poppy and write a message to our loved ones. Finally we got told we could put it on our last statue or keep it. I put it with the last statue. MILLIONS of poppies filled the last statue. After that we sadly had to leave. We grabbed our bags and off we went!!

Trip to Waitangi

Similes :)

1.The tiger was running as fast as the fiesty wind.

The boy’s face turned as red as a Tomato.

The Rock was as smooth as a baby's skin.

The two husky’s barked as loud as a policeman yelling at you, trying to tell you to come here!!

Leaves

                                                  Leaves

The huge deciduous tree is a shape of a person’s body. It stood alone on the grass. It was as sad as a baby crying. The deciduous tree branches are like a wriggly octopus tentacles. Deciduous leaves are the shape of a bright shiny yellow star. Ever green leaves are like a shape of a fishing knife. Some ever green trees are small and some are big. Some leaves are the colour of my mums lipstick and some are the colour of red wine. Leaves fall down like swishy waves.       

       AUTUMN

Autumn is warm and you see leaves scattered around the ground.   

The strong breeze blows the leaves everywhere.

Leaves stroke against your skin and they fill people with happiness.                                                      Some leaves can be evergreen, which means they will be green as can be for ever and ever.

Leaves make trees warm like a bears coat covering you.

Dew falls from the sky and shimmers like a star.

Leaves float down like the waves in the deep blue sea.

The colour of leaves are like a rainbow that never ends.
