Our Volcano in Class

Yesterday we did a volcano experiment in our class. First our teacher made a cone shape of the play dough. She then added enough baking soda in small cup which was placed in the centre of the play dough.

We all sat quietly and watched her.

Then she added some vinegar to the baking soda.

Eruka, there was this oozing out of bubbles which showed how the volcanoes erupt.

Mayor Len Brown at our School

This is our Auckland City's Mayor - Mr Len Brown. He came to our school on Thursday, 7th of August for Sod Turning Ceremony. 

Groundbreaking, also known as cutting, sod-cutting, turning the first sod or a sod-turning ceremony, is a traditional ceremony in many cultures that celebrates the first day of construction for a building or other project. Such ceremonies are often attended by dignitaries such as politicians and businessmen. The actual shovel or spade used during the actual groundbreaking is often a special ceremonial shovel meant to be saved for subsequent display. Commemorative information may be subsequently engraved on the shovel.

He was at our school from 9am till 10.30am. During the ceremony there were few speeches, songs and then the whole school went for Sod Ceremony next to the swimming pool. After the ceremony all the children were given lollies and balloons to mark this special day.

How we made Roti in class?

On Monday we learnt how to make Roti in class. Below is Popplet (planning) done by Riza-Dee. He is going to use these information to do his Procedural Writing. 

This is another Popplet done by Whaiora. The interesting thing about his Popplet (planning) is that he was away when we made the roti but he was so keen to Plan using Popplet so he went around asking few of his friends/ teacher and most importantly he looked at the photos in the ipad. So below is his Popplet:
