Our Day At Stardome

Today In the morning we were going on a trip to stardome but first because it was Thursday we went down to the hall and danced because it was dance fever.We stayed there for at least 45 minutes and went off to stardome.We were going by bus there were 2 of them here at glenbrae school 1 was for room 10 and 9   the other bus was for room 7 and 8.As the teachers were settling in the bus the bus driver started his engine and head off to stardome that's all the way in Cornwall park.

It took us 19 minutes to get there or more because there might of been traffic.But once we arrived there we had our lunch and played at the park there park was amazing I first played on the wheel thing It was so much fun.I then went to play on the flying fox it was kind of low for some people like me.Room 10 and 9 played for 1 hour because room 7 and 8 were in the stardome looking at all the planets that were there.

It was really hot I started to feel sick and tired.But as room 7 and 8 came out of the stardome It was finally room 10 and 9 turn to go In.I felt excited because It was my first time here at stardome.When we walked In there was a space rocket on the left side of the door.But when you walked down a bit It was full with rockets and telescopes and the suites that were there.

We then got told the people with the bags put It Into and went Into a room that was called space

room.We sat down and the light went dined we were talking about space and whats up there and guess what did you know that the earth times It by thirty and and that's how far the moon Is.

After that we got to go and look around and see the different types of rockets and what they use to breath In space there has been a lot of people that has went to the moon and back and to get to the moon It takes 3 days and 2 years to get back.I find that hard to believe In.Our earth Is made up from little dust from space and left over sun that's how our earth Is made and It Is colorful from all the bits and peaces from space.

After that was all done we went outside to our bus we only got to spend 1 hour In there.When we said our goodbyes from behalf of glenbrae school we hoped Into the bus and left to go back to glenbrae school as we soon arrived at school we all hoped out of the bus and went straight Into the hall and line up In our class lines and went to our class to get the rest of the peoples bags.As soon as the bell rang we left the class looking tidy and off we went home.

Does It sound the same If we put different amount of water?
Hypothesis
Will It sound the same when you hit It.We lined up the cups of water with different amount and hit It to see If there will be a sound.

We were learning all about sounds and it was fun,we made instruments by plastic containers with rubber bands on it and strum It to see If It works. This Is how we exact made it.
I had so much fun learning about sounds because it can make music.

In the morning we went with Mrs Atuahiva for steps.Steps is a program that helps people that are slaking off work a bit.Next I went on the computer to go on the activities that is from the program there are different types of games and work you can do.

I then stayed on the computer because I wanted to finish my spelling game so I can get a higher score to achieve my work standard and move on to a next level..

My Recount

It was a black,cloudy Saturday when our glenbrae students were having a car wash to fundraise for our year 7 and 8 camp.

“I woke up and did what I needed to do”and my mum dropped me off to school so that I can help out with the car wash.As I pulled in to the school, there were already people setting up the car wash liquid.While Mrs Atuahiva was cooking the sussages, I got out of the car and started helping my friends getting the cake’s ready to sell.The cakes were $1.00 each and the sausages were $2.00 each and the car wash was $10.00 up.

“When my friend ask me to be her partner to be in front selling the cakes, I thought for a moment and said yes sure why not”.I got a chair and sat down waiting for a customer to come and buy something the only car I saw was mostly the teachers and our first person we didn't know was David's brother the next door neighbor he was old and still driving a car.

We then had a lot of cars arriving  at our car wash It was amazing because we were fundraising a lot of money, we even had 3 $50.00 notes that our principal teacher and customer had gave us because they wanted to help us fund raise more.

Next we had one of our Glenbrae student bring chop suey and potato salad It was “Delicious” we sold that for $5.00 a plate.As the time was ticking more people started to arrive, at the car wash It was awesome.

Then we had a break which 2 of our teachers one of them was a kiwi can leader and the other was a teacher.They were “said we can chose anything and they will pay for it we all shouted yay”.As then it was near 11.30 I just waited for another customer to come and buy something from here so I can finish off with a good day.

Reading

Today in reading our work was on our reading site.As we got onto our work we had to answer some question about England because that is our topic for this term.I only got 1 question that I was not to sure of and that was Does New Zealand have a connection to the queen of England? I tried to search it up but was not understanding what it was saying.But I had fun because I was doing It in partners.

Car Wash You Can Come!

Maths

Today in maths it was fun because we were learning about decimals.
What i learnt from it was that we got numbers and we had to try out which decimal number was bigger and out of all those numbers i thought that the 0.9 was bigger because it was had a bigger tenths than the rest and that's how i know that it was the largest number because you only need 0.1 just to make 1 whole.

This helped me by solving my question.

Tamaki Sience

Today is Tuesday and it was  morning tea Glenbrae students and 2 older teachers Mrs Adcock and Mrs Card.They were really fun to walk with even though people made mistakes.

When we arrived we meet Mr Malhorta he was really kind and when we were starting our session he made us all laugh I think but he was fun he is good being a science teacher.I would not mine him coming to Glenbrae school.

So we were talking about safety what you need when you are around acid stuff.And we also discuss what a science lab have compare to what we have at school.I was thinking that they have scopes and we don't have them also glasses are the main things you need.

He then showed us a electric toy which he had made and he also made other things that can move.
it was fun.We then had a lady I for got her name she came with her laptop and showed what we may see in a scope but close up the was a dragon fly wing it had heaps of lines I wonder that those lines help them stay the same and straight.As the next group finished looking in the scope it was our turn it was quite hard because you had to forces on that dot I was struggling but I stop breathing stay still and I saw it I was amazed.

Skip.....

At the end one of the students got to flew this big sort of alien ship I guess.It was really creative to use plastic to make something big like that I was pretty amazed by that I can not wait to come to Tamaki collage because I am a year 8 I will be going there next year and I will see him Hooray. Cannot wait to learn more things about science.

We next got all our Ingredients and bowls spoons to serve our dry Ingredients into a large bowl.We then put our wet Ingredients into a medium bowl and then stir.When we combine the wet Ingredient to the dry Ingredient we then stir and watch as it is combining together to form a nice smooth mixture.

Then you have your frying pan on top of a stove then heat it when it is nice and warm add your butter in and spreed it around then wait for it to sizzle then you just need to add only a little and that little will make a big hot cake just for one person.As me and my buddie next to me Tauola she is a grate person to work with we took turns of making our hot cakes.

Ready....When it was all finished we went in line to get Strawberry sauce  or chocolate or you can also have them together with Icing sugar. Tauola when up first  to get her sauce then me and everyone was waiting in line i could not wait to try this when i took my first bite all that chocolate was beautiful with the hot cakes.
