Hello there! Yesterday we had a Wheels Day, and we sold off left overs (No food, it all got sold out, thankfully) from the Celebration Day. It was a gold coin donation day, meaning everyone wore mufti and brought a gold coin. As the Celebration Day itself was a success, I presume this was too. Some people slid right over the red cushions. Of course, others knocked them out of place. We also had a slip'n'slide, that had a number of laughs, such as when someone kind of did a roly-poly over the red cushions. Most of the laughs involved hilarious crashes into the red cushions. Often, two people went down together (I never did, though), which meant they went really far. I never crashed into the cushions. My feet just heavily tapped the cushions and some bubbly water went on to the grass in front of it. Everyone always got splashed in their face. The swimming pool was open as well. There was a lot of splashing in it, and even more started when the rings were thrown in. I alw...

Hello there again! Recently we have been making a lot (almost 100 cards!) of recycled paper to sell at the Gala day. For more info on the Gala day, see " Buy a seed bomb now! - Post not sponsored by anything! ". I think the reason we are doing recycled paper because the Gala day seems to have a focus on being environmentally friendly. Unsurprisingly, the main thing we learnt was how to recycle paper (And that is very inclusive). I don't think many (Or any. That rhymes!) of us knew how to recycle paper. We all wrote a procedural writing text (At least a plan) on how to make paper (I'm pretty sure "making paper" and "recycling paper" both work), which I currently have with me. I have had to modify it a bit. Making cards out of recycled paper You will need: Paper A bucket A mould and deckle An egg beater A sink Glue And finally, a small piece of paper Making it First, get some paper (Try not to use newspaper, it is too inky) Then...

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...
