Dinosaur Blog

This week we experimented about excavating with pestle and nails. Last 2 days we mixed plaster of paris with water in cups and after that we put a small dinosaur toy inside.  We waited for 2 days for it to dry, some failed and most of them succeeded. After that we excavated it with pestle and nails. Then we found some fossils inside of them "Small Toy Dinosaurs.". 

Some Pictures from the experiment.

EOTC WEEK "Reflecting"

Last week we did an outdoor activities for four days! Our first outdoor activities was postponed and moved to the next week, Second day we went to a Marae, third day we went to Omaka scamp and did our second day activity, and at the fourth day we went to Adrenaline forest and Spencer park.

Our first outdoor activity was postponed so it got changed to next week. After that we went to a Marae, the normal welcomers was out so they asked there neighbours, and I was amazed that their neighbours could talk in Maori as well. After we did a powhiri, we went to a Museum, I learnt so many things about Maori history and their cultures.

At our third day, we went to Omaka scamp, we were supposed to go there at Monday but it was cancelled because of the weather. The second day activity started and I learnt so many things like new games, water safety, and a challenges.

At out fourth day, we went to Adrenaline forest, I found it the hardest trip because you need to overcome your fear of heights. I was scared but others encourage me to do it, at the end I finished 5 levels of the activity.

Overall I had a lot of fun and I enjoyed most of it. I hope we get to do it next year also. Last thing I want to say is, Thank you for the teachers for organising this week, and Thank you to Omaka, and Rehua Marae!
