cross country

Whats up blogging friends and welcome back to my learning blog.
On Tuesday Waikowhai Primary School had cross country.

We had lots of activity's to do while we were waiting for our race like giant games (giant connect 4 giant pick up sticks normal mini golf normal bowling) . The next activity we did was rako sticks we made music then we sang a song while using the rako sticks . The next activity was a game where you got into 4 teams and the first person put on a blind fold and the person behind them had to guide them to pick up some thing and bring it back, but you weren't allowed to touch them.
The last activity we did before the race was warming up and doing running activity's like sprint races and doing stuff with balls. Here are some photos of the activities





Now it's time for the race!

Yay it's time for the race . The race was 2 kilometre's long and most of it was on the muddy grass and I came 5th in the race  here are some photos.















This time cross country was quite hard because it was really muddy but luckily I didn't slip. Blog you later.

Magical World Of Science By Richard and Robin.

Hello Blogging world and welcome back to my blog.
Today at school we had a science show made by some scientists called Richard and Robin.
They showed us what you need to make fire... you need heat, oxygen and fuel. For fuel you could use different types of fuel like wood, paper and plastic.

Another thing they showed us was about bubbles. We learnt that bubbles are the thinnest thing you can see with just your eye. Richard blew a really big bubble about the size of 3 soccer balls. He also told us that bubbles have two layers and why. He said bubbles have 2 layers because the outside layer makes a reflection that's why balloons are multi coloured and the other layer inside the outside layer traps the water inside. Here are some videos.





We also learnt about physics. Richard had a hair dryer and a ping pong ball. Richard turned on the hair dryer then pointed it to the roof then put the ping pong ball by the hair dryer then he asked us to put our hands up if you thought the ball would fly up or if it would just hover. Then he let go of the ball and it started to hover because the air pushed it up and the gravity pulled it down.n Then he used a leaf blower and used a sphere with the world on it and it still hovered but it hit the roof . . . but it didn't matter because the ball was just made of air.

We also learnt about H2O which is water. We learnt that water is the only substance on earth that exists in Gas, Liquid and Solid. If you liked this blog post and you would like to get updated when I post follow me.Please feel free to comment.

this activity was hard because I had to make the writing the right size so it will fit on the document then I had to read each paragraph at least twice so I could figure out a way to write in my own way.
