Crystals

 This week we are making crystals for our weekly challenge. We have been making salt crystals and sugar but you can't really see them because they are so small. Today we are going to be making borax crystals which I think will be really fun. I want to see what the other class have done with theirs. I could make one at home and show you what I end up with. I want to see what happens if a shack it and all the crystals come down.

Bubble Adventure

Today we had Cybersmart we worked with a little kid and we made them in a bubble some where in the world. My partner was Mateus and Lincoln. I had a great time doing this and when we finished Mateus showed me and Lincoln how he draws on his iPad. I could make another one of these and get me to do it with myself and you could see where I end up on my bubble.

Cross Country

A few weeks ago we had our Cross Country. The people who were in the same race as me  were Lincoln, Renny, Sofia, Olivia, Connor, and Jasper. There was a big track around the school. You ran up the field, down to the sand pit and back behind the the start then up to the fort. You went up into the fort and you had to go through the trees and there was some muddy bits and I almost fell over. Then I went up the hill back up into the fort and went through the trees, to go out to the field. We had to go around  3 times. Renny got 1st, Lincoln got 2nd, and I got 3rd. At the end I did a really big slide and I got really muddy there is the photo bellow. Next year I could make another blog about the Cross Country. If you were a year 5 or 6 and if you got 1st, 2nd, or 3rd you went to West Coast champs which was about 10x the track here. If you got 7th or under in the West Coast Champs you compete in Canterbury Champs. The only person that went to Canterbury Champs in this school was Oscar.

Egg Experiment

We were doing a challenge to make an egg bounce. First we talked about how we will make it bounce.  Some people have already done this before and they said to put in vinegar. After about 4 days we went outside so we could test them. But Mrs Hickford was playing with it then it bounced off the table and broke. But we have another week to do it so we might have a chanse of winning this challenge. Luckily we made two eggs so we could do that one, but it broke at 20 cm.
