Gosh….it's week 5!!!!!

Some of us have heard that we might be getting a new flag for New Zealand.

We have heard this from our parents or on the radio.
I wonder what design that they will choose?

We thought that we could do our own designs and Gayle said she will send them to our Prime Minister John Key when we have completed them.

You will be amazed at what we have come up with.
So far we have painted our backgrounds but next week we will be able to show you the  final  product.

Our experiment this week was making a volcano.
We put on our lab coats and headed out to the sandpit to collect sand, then we made a mountain shape with it.
At the top of the shape we put half a toilet roll and pressed it into the sand.
Next was the baking soda, food colouring and then the...……vinegar. Oh my goodness you should have seen what happened….it was just like a real volcano erupting with lava.
We had dinosaurs at the bottom of our volcano and some of them died when our volcano erupted !!!

Collecting the sand

Wow this is heavy….I think I need the help of an adult...

Getting the dinosaurs in place….

Baking soda first...

Now the vinegar...

Now for some interaction between the dinosaurs….

  This experiment would be great to try at home. If you don't have any sand just use soil instead.

You should have come to see us on Thursday… we made gluten free Lemon and Poppy Seed cake.

It was scrumptious.

Supporting one another...

Squeezing the juice from the lemon

How many cups of flour?

Now for mixing all the ingredients together….

Nearly ready...

 See you next week!
