Mars!

Trayden, Reiana and I made the planet Mars. It was really fun.

We made the planets for topic. First we started off with a balloon, then we paper mached it. The last step was to paint it. I think I did really well with the co-operation. Next time I will improve on keeping the paper mache flat.

monorail

On wednesday room 7 competed a rotation at Living Springs.We got put into about six groups. I chose the monorail. I thought it was awesome and exciting but I didn't like how we had to carry the seat back up the hill afterwards. I think we all had fun.

First it was Sophie's turn and had to carry the seat up with her. It was very heavy.

Next it was my turn YAY! I asked for an extra boost. It was awesome!

Finally we had to finish our activities and most of the boys played rugby with Matua Nathan and Andrew.

I thought the monorail was awesome. Next time i would like to try and get a extra boost and put my hands up in the air!

fire

FIRE is the rapid oxidation of a material in the chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light and various reaction products.

The meaning of the word fire as part of my project is the state of combustion in which inflammable material burns, producing flames, heat and often smoke.

The flame is the visible portion of the fire and consists of glowing hot gases. If hot enough, the gases may become explosive resulting in the phrase exploding into flames. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the colour of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.
