ORANGE

On monday we were due to go to a strand workshop.  Usually strand workshops can be a little boring because there are so many people there and you hardly ever get to share your ideas but this week it was different.

We arrived at our workshop all ready to get started on our maths but then we realised that koka ngaire had a book on the board. We were all confused but then koka ngaire said that we were going to look at the difference between volume and capacity.

Once we had read the book witch was all about volume and capacity we got a pot and filled near the top with water then we placed a orange into the water. The water rose but then when we took out the orange out of the water  the water went back down. Eventually someone from our group said that we should measure how far the water rose and dropped and rose. The water rose and dropped 3 cm. This work shop was so much fun I hope we can have another one like this.

321 go. Koka Pip pressed start on the recorder. We started making our smoothie, but before we go any further I will show you the recipe.

Purple sunrise

Materials, smoothie blender,1 cup

Ingredients 2 cups mango frozen,4 rings pineapple fresh,2 handfuls mix berry frozen, 2 handfuls strawberry frozen,300ml milk.

Step 1. Firstly pour in 300ml of milk into your smoothie maker.

Step 2.  Next add 2 cups of frozen mango.

Step 3. Then add 2 handfuls of mixed berries

Step 4. Next mix up all of your ingredients using your smoothie blender.

Step 5. Lastly, garnish with your fresh pineapple rings.

Now that I've finished showing you the recipe I will carry on with what I was saying before. I poured in the  milk. Then Archie poured in the mango. Once Archie had put the mango in I realised that we weren't going to fit all of our fruit in, so we had to change up our recipe, but in the end it all worked out well apart from the bit when I put the pineapple in the smoothie when it wasn't supposed to.

Get your waddle on

 Hi my name is Harry and today I will be telling you 1 thing that I've learnt this week. My highlight this week was our penguin inquiry. We draw a grid and then put threats to the blue penguin in them.

The aim of the game was to get to the sea  and back without touching a square that a threat was in. It was a lot harder then I would of thought because you had to waddle like a penguin plus Koka Rozie kept adding more threats to the grid.

I was one of the first people to get out but I didn't mind because it was just as fun watching. I think that Neko was the best at the game because he had a really good penguin waddle and hardly ever touched the squares with the threats. That game was so much fun and I really hope we can play again.  The game taught me all the problems and difficulties that the blue penguin was going through in its daily life.
