Funk 2 Junk

 Lucy, Olivia, Sofia, Xanthe, and I are making a virus for Junk 2 Funk. We are making a virus because covid 19 has been around. It is being built out of boxes, toilet roll, any tubes, tape and egg cartons. The theme is contagious. We glue tubes and rolls onto the box with glue guns. Someone is going to go into the box. My favourite part was using the glue gun because it was my first time using it. We took turns at using the glue gun.  It was fun because it was my first time doing Junk 2 Funk and I was with my friends. Junk 2 Funk is a competition that we have in Hokitika every year. You have to make something out of recycled junk. Have you ever done Junk 2 Funk?

 

Sort The Comment

  This is a goggle drawing of good and bad comments. We had to put  thumbs up or thumbs down sign depending if it was a good or bad comment. We did it in pairs. I was with Rhys. We did this for cybersmart. A good comment is positive, thoughtful, kind, helpful and you can ask a question. We are learning to recognise a quality blog comment and give reasons for our thinking.

Cross Country

This is a photo of me doing cross country. We did it round the cycle track.  The year fours had to do three laps. I was super fun because it went into the fort. I came first out of everyone in my age group. I even bet the boys!!! We had to start on the field, go to the cycle track, up to the fort, out of the fort, back in the fort, down the ditch and back out onto the field. I was hard to get up the muddy parts. I love cross country!!!

Making Slime And Playing With Lucy

In the holidays I did lots of things. I made some really sticky slime.  We used borax, warm water, shaving foam and PVA glue and food colouring. I made 3 different colours of slime. They were white with blue gliter, green and yellow.  My favourite one was the one with blue glitter because I could make very big bubbles with it and it felt nice. 

On another day Lucy came over and we played in some very long grass. We named the game Run Away From Cars. We had to look for some cars driving past, if there were cars we would run into the grass and hide.  We got very wet from hiding in the long grass but it was super fun.  Then I was going to face plant into the long grass but I stopped myself and then still did it on purpose.  After that me and Lucy played a game where we had to push each other in to the long grass. 😃

Magic Powder

Today we did an experiment. We got into pairs and had a cup with sodium polyacrylate. Me, Sofia and Taylor were in a group. We did not know it was sodium polyacrylate. Then Chris gave us some water with a spoon. We had to put it in the cup. It made the powder expanded!!! We touched it and it felt soft but looked hard. We put 32 tea spoons of water in. Then Mrs Hickford put in to tea spoons of salt. The powder had air bubbles in it! It was turning into liquid. It looked really cool. I thought that it was going to fizz just like Finnian's volcano. I learnt that disposable nappies take 450 years to break down. Have you ever done this experiment? I found it fun and exiting because I didn't know what was going to happen next.

Holiday Activity

 This week for the school challange was to make an activity to do in the school holidays. My activity is in the school holidays make a book and draw pictures of places you have been and what you did. In the slide it will show you how to make a book and what to do. I have learnt how to make a book. I am proud that I made a book. It was fun to make. I hope you like it too. Have you ever made a book?

Bunny Polyline

This is my bunny.  I made it on a google draw. To make it I found a picture of a bunny and traced over it with the polyline tool. Then I added the detail. I took the picture away and chose a colour to make the bunny. Mrs Swinburn is going to put them on a slide. I am proud of my bunny because it looks great!!! It was hard tracing over the picture of the bunny. Do you have a pet bunny?

Scratch

This is my scratch. Mrs Swinburn did one in a DFI course and she was teaching us so we did a scratch. My scratch is about bowling and bating. There is a batter and a bowler. The bowler throws the ball and the batter hits it. To do it I had to use different blocks. These are the blocks I used for the ball and the bowler. The first blocks are for the ball and the second blocks are for the bowler. I didn't need to use any blocks for batter. I  a proud of making my characters move. I like making blocks to make the ball move. It was fun because sometimes it went crazy. Have you ever done scratch?
