A crazy science show

Kia ora everyone, it's Maori Language week. But that's not what I'm posting about today (I probably will later in the week). Today, we had a science show in the hall, which came from Australia.  Get this off me! We learnt lots, and I think that was the point. For example, did you know that water is the only known substance (at normal air pressure) that can be liquid (water), solid (ice), and gas (water vapour)? We also learnt quite a bit about mixing colours. Mix green, blue, and red together and you get brown. Ew! It even tasted horrible, according to the critics. They made huge bubbles that could probably fit a TV inside, as well as showing us rockets that use headache tablets 󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢and fly off unexpectedly. This hairdryer could blow you all away! You can make a ball fly if you put it above a hairdryer. Interesting fact: Polymers turn liquids into solids. We also learnt how nappies work. If you don't want to know, then skip 5 l

All about camp, all about camp...

Hello everyone! As you may (or may not) have heard, last week we went to camp at Ruapehu. This year, I went. It was for four days. We had to either ski or snowboard, and I chose skiing. But that was not the only thing we did! We also did tobogganing and scenic chairlift rides. But that is not what I'm going talk about today (And no, I do not dictate to a computer to write blog posts.). Today, you are going to see a slideshow about camp. As a matter of fact, here it is! And yes, I know that normally, I would put a lot of photos at the bottom of the post, but I won't do that today because they are in the presentation. And so is most of the key info. But I'll tell you that anyway. So, we went to Mount Ruapehu for four days to ski or snowboard. There! All in one sentence. Skiing was very challenging, and everyone kept falling over. But most people managed in the end. Please comment. Bye!
