Microgreen growing

 This week we are growing micro-greens. We all got into groups and got ice cream containers. We got Lincoln from Wonder Project to help us cut the holes. after we got given a grow mat cut to fit in our ice cream container and then we watered the grow mat. After that we soaked the seeds in water for 5 minutes and added them to our grow mat, we made sure that they were spread evenly and not to close to each other.

Now its day three and they are grown not fully but they have grown so much in three days!

We used some censors which are... Light, conductivity, temp and humidity. 

My group is Me, Libby, Jordan, Charlie and Maraea.

Here are some photos.

Here is ours!

Lion Dance!

On Wednesday in period 1 we went to the hall to learn a lion dance. The man taught us some moves (Like a cat)

There were 4 costumes, White, Yellow, Orange and Red. The interior in the head was made of bamboo and was pretty cool to look at. The first 4 pairs went up and did some moves that looked like they were a cat and  it was pretty funny.

There was a red string inside the lion head so you could blink the eyes and flap a trap door so you could open and close the mouth. I was the head and Libby was the body and I had to set the lion head on my shoulders which was pretty hard and sore. Here are some photos.

 

It was Very Very Fun. (We were the White one)

Probability CREATE. Maths.

 For maths were are learning Probability. 

Probability is a chance of something happening. 

For our homework we needed to do create a slideshow of probability and tell what each one means and show at least 3 examples.

Discover China Week

On the Last week of term 3 it was  Discover China Week.

I only did 2 of them because I was sick.

 the first one we did was calligraphy. We wrote a few words for practise then we wrote the words on a piece of rice paper.

The second thing I we did was a dance. Were were holding fans that when you opened was really loud. We learnt the dance which was fun. The lady who was doing the fan dance showed us an ocean fan which is down below and it was very smooth and cool.
 

I wish I got to do the instrument where you got to play it.

Here is my Calligraphy.

Here is the Fan Dancing

Otaki Youth Space!

 On Wednesday the Kapiti council came to our class to do a workshop. What they did was different Activities to see what we would like for a Youth Space in Otaki.

There were about 6 or 7 activities that we did in rotations.

Questions!

What would it include?

I think it would include different Activities. Maybe some games for the younger people. I think it could also have 1 or 2 iPad's and if you were going to go on them you could have a certain amount of time.

Where would it be?

I would say it could be somewhere nice not in the town but somewhere where it would be nice outside and room for lots of outside Activities.

What sort of space would you you want it to be?

I would want it to be a Space where everyone would feel welcome. 

I hope the youth space in Otaki will be a fun place where kids can hangout after school or a place where older people can hang out with there friends. It will also welcome everyone to join in with the fun!

Here are some photos from when they came to our class:
