vaseline saucer

 We have Pet Day at Ohaeawai School every year and one of the activities we do is to create a symmetrical design on a saucer using flower petals. You put Vaseline on the saucer first to make the flowers stick. That’s why they are called Vaseline Saucers. Here is a pic of me with mine:

Play make create week 4

 On Friday, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation.  This week Mrs Craig Read the book: The Day the Plants Fought Back.

  It was about respecting others.

It was about a dingo who caught a wombat and tried to make wombat stew. But, it didn’t work because bingo got poised

 I chose to design a trap or gadget to catch a wombat (safely without hurting it)

Measuring head

 Kia ora 

This week we have been working on Measurement.We had to measure our maths group foot and head.The day after we had to make a graph to see whose head was the biggest or we could chose to do our groups feet. I liked doing the head measurement the best .Here is my slide of my groups head and feet.

Lahar

Today we built Mt Ruapehu in the sandpit. We also made the Whangaehu River valley, the plain below the mountain and the railway bridge at Tangiwai. We wanted to learn how the lahar destroyed the bridge in 1953 causing the Tangiwai Disaster. Kora and Ariana poured lots of water into the crater we had made on top of our mountain. It whoosed down the side of the mountain and into the river valley. The bridge collapsed and bits of our train fell into the river. After that, we watched a short video about what do do if you are on Mt Ruapehu when the lahar siren sounds.  Now I know how to keep safe from a lahar if one happens when I am on a mountain.  Here is my Hazard Notice with the most important information.
