Visiting author

Yesterday we had 1 of the 2 authors for the book which we are reading called The Mines Afire. We had Thelma Eakin come in. We asked her questions about her book she wrote. She decided to write the  book to be different because there were no books about the Brunner Mine. Before she wrote the book worked on a play called the mines afire that took them 2 years to write because of finding history about the brunner mine disaster.

Brunner mine Trip

On Monday our class went to the Brunner Mine site . We went because we are reading this book called 'The Mines Afire' written by Thelma Eakin and Susan Batteye. We went out for most of the day doing activities. First our group had to dress up to do some photos (They were cringe). Then we had to look around for some information to answer some questions. Our group went and walked around to look at the old coke ovens.

Then we had lunch. We went to the Stillwater Cemetery for a little bit.

Colour Day 2019

Today we have had Colour Day in New Zealand where we wear bright colours all over New Zealand to raise money for the people affected by the tragedy in Christchurch. I decided to wear a bright blue shirt and I had nothing bright for shorts so I wore some navy blue shorts. Here is a poster about what is happening today.

Cupcakes For family fiesta

This week I have decorated cupcakes for our Family Fiesta. At the Family Fiesta our syndicate makes cupcakes and they get judged and then they can be bought. I have decorated these cupcakes like flowers.

If we made the cupcakes it would have taken longer but it took me 30 minutes to decorate

This week in music we have made a 4 note composition today. Here is a slide of our work.

T1 W5

This week for science we did this experiment where we fill a cup up with water and put an egg into it. the egg was sinking until we put salt into it. we put lots of salt into it to make the water more dense I really liked the experiment because it was pretty interesting and weird to see the egg float.
