science on crystals

Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals

Definition of solution: 

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water) 

Definition of saturated: 

Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)                

In groups of three you will make three different types of crystals and compare the results.

more and more drama

this week in drama we have been making puppets it was kind of hard because we had to make  the puppets ourselves i think i did a decent job but my puppet is pretty basic i cut a hole the whole length of the bag then i put some paper in the bag then with a dark blue marker i drew the eyes then i made some arms from blue paper then i put sellotape on a Popsicle stick and i had a mouth there where a lot of good puppets i know that some one made a puppet that looked a lot like batman with the cap he made some very good hands he also had boomerangs that were the batman symbol they are called batarangs it did take a hour to make my puppet because i could not get scissors glue and sellotape all at once there were very very very good puppets compared to mine 

Christchurch community impact projects group

i have decided to join the Christchurch community impact projects group . Because i want to help the community in Christchurch this group i am also interested in helping orphanages because they do not get much government funding i think that we  will accomplish a lot we can  ask our relatives to bake some different foods like cookies cupcakes maybe some cake or loaf we also could make some slices we could also give some homeless children toys and maybe some clean shirts and shorts and winter clothing like jacket  scarfs gloves beanies we could give them some money to buy some stuff as well

3 official of NZ Zak and Sahara

the 3 official langues of NZ

the three official languages of our country are

English, Maori and sign language. English is the most widely spoken language in 

New Zealand. It is the language commonly used courts, parliament in the education system.

Maori arrived in New Zealand, then known as the long white cloud, around AD950 in canoes. 

They mostly settled in the northern parts of New Zealand as they were warmer. Maori were a deeply superstitious and religious people believing in gods and the spirits of there ancestors. Sign language is used to help people that are deaf to communicate.
