Science Roadshow

On Tuesday we went to the science Roadshow. We learnt a lot about space like what is the hottest planet and that we are made out of star dust. Also they did a lot of explosions and made the colours turn pink and green. After a while when they had a talk to us we went to go and have a look around There was a lot of experiments and that. Something that I liked was these big blue bowl things and you talked into these yellow holes and the noise goes over to the other one so you can have a conversation on the other side of the room. Another one that I liked was this board with a lot of nails on it and we lay down, it felt so cool. There was a lot of cool other experiments and that so I hope they come back next year to show us new experiments.

Capital E festival of arts.

The year 7 and 8's went to Wellington on Thursday the 14th for the Capital E Festival of the Arts. We went to 3 shows.

The 2nd show was my favourite, it was called Wolfgang's Musical Circus. A few reasons why I liked the show is because the tricks and that was awesome and how the woman did all of the lifting and the guy did all of the stuff on top so they switched it up a bit. Also I liked how one of the other guys was in the back round playing a accordion and making face expressions why the other guys were doing tricks. There wasn't really any bad things that I did not like about it but the things that I would recommend is try and get all of the kids in the middle so they could see everything and to make sure the kids are on the same level Because where I sat I couldn't see one of the sides and I never got the chance to go on stage. But other wise it was amazing probably the best show I had ever been to in my life.

The 1st show was called the troll It was my 2nd favourite because It had mostly everything in it. It had horror, comedy, action and lot's of other great themes. The show got sad at some points but then they were funny in another way. The acting was awesome because they made everything look so real especially the troll. I have know Idea how they got the troll to move so real but I know they would of put a lot of effort into it and they probably practised a lot. Also They probably used a lot of there skills to create the whole show. There wasn't anything that I would recommend because everything was perfect.

There was one more show but I didn't enjoy it as much as the other ones. After a day of watching shows I went home telling everyone about them.

Get NZ Writing 2019

A few days ago our teacher gave us an Item and we had to write a poem about the object that you got. We came up with descriptive words and then we had to put them on a little post card. Also we had to put an anagram on our post card. The one that I found was Aneurism Protein which was an anagram for miniature person. Then we got to colour the back. The people that finished first had to do another one like me. There were 32 postcards in total. When we put them together, they made the image in the photo below. 

we also did a class poem so we did a survey and then our teacher chose the best answers. The words that we had to come up with had to be wow words that would be interesting.

Makey Makey workshops.

Makey Makey workshops.

We went to the Makey Makey workshop on Thursday the 28th of February. We made music with fruit.
firstly we got given boxes with lot's of cables in them and secondly they just told us to go so we did not know how to do anything and we just had to work it out by our selves. I was in a group with Macy and Harriet. when we went to get started we got carrots and cables and we had to connect the cables to my chrome book and then to this little electronic thing that you connect all of the cables to. Then connect the cables to the carrots. last of all we needed to have an earth which was a human.  We got the cable and connected it up to Harriet's finger. once we did all of that we tried it out so we had to tape the carrots like a piano and music started coming out of my chrome book.  It actually worked which was good. Then we had to do it again but use cardboard and tinfoil and make anything we want out of it. We made a present. once we had tried it out and finished our creation we had to present them but unfortunately our one did not work so it was a fail. That afternoon I learnt a bit of problem solving because our project didn't really work so we had to go back and have a look to see how we can fix it.
I achieved by fixing it and presenting it but It didn't really work.
