Growing Sugar Crystals
Yesterday Room 7 made sugar crystals!
First we made a saturated solution. We dissolved the sugar into water over heat to make it.
Next we got our cup and made it with an ice-block stick and string dangling into the cup.
Then we poured the sugar solution into the cup and made sure our string was dangling into the solution.
Last of that we put our cup on the window sill to make crystals.
My predictions:
I think when the sun will suck all the water up and there will only be sugar crystals left and the will grow and stick to the string.

Waitomo Caves
Waitomo caves!
Yesterday the middle team went to the Waitomo caves on a bus to learn about caves with some parent helpers.
First we meet our guide she told us what we are going to do and she also explained the rules we were not allowed to touch anything .
Then we entered the caves when we were in the cave we learnt about stalagmites and stalactites we saw lots of glow worms to when the light was on we could see the lines that the glowworms had let down to get there food.
After that we went down some steps to get to the river we caught our boat there were glowworms above our head it was dark they
twinkled like stars we paddled out of the cave we had morning tea after that.
Next we went to the museum we sort of had a little play there but we were learning about how it felt like caving and crawling through little tunnels like we were caving we learnt even more about caves there.
Then we went to the classroom we learnt about how caves are formed and what caves are made of we passed around fossils stalagmites stalactites lime stones and shark teeth. Then we had lunch.
After that we went on a bush walk we walked through lots of little caves there was limestone on the ground we could even take 1 limestone home.
Did you know caves are made of lots of sea creatures.
A Glowworm light glows more when it is hungry.
The waitomo caves was fun!

Snowflake and the evil queen!
Long ago, there was a wicked queen who had a
daughter called snowflake but one day the queen sent a police man to kill snowflake
because everyone loved snowflake more then the queen. But the police man was a
nice police and told her to go live with the other princess. Snowflake had lots
of fun there but when the queen found her she was so angry she poisoned an
apple but then she found out that snowflake only liked green apples the queen
gave up and sent her to live with the other princess.Friday, 14 February 2014

Firefly Galore
Suddenly I
took a step and was in the middle of nowhere! The sun slowly separated and drifted
through the sky. A big, bright castle stood in front of me like a tall tree
staring back at me looking grand and lonely. Was I in Japan, Australia or America?
I stepped into castle. It squeaked as if it was new. I looked out the shiny, glooming window and slowly the sky got darker! I saw a bunch of fireflies making bright
golden lights lighting up the night sky. The Beautiful fireflies were holding
up a sparkly banner. The banner said “You can have this castle!”

The Bed And Breakfast Star
Me and Leah are reading a book Bed And Breakfast Star.
Else is having a hard life in this book because she has been in 7 beds since she was a baby. She was named after a lion so when she was a baby her mum stuck her hair up into a lions mane she sounded like one too. Else tells jokes to do her best to cheer up her family but no one seems to laugh much any more because they lost their lovely house and had to live in a breakfast and bed hotel.
I think the story will be way different in the snow and the book would not be called Bed and Breakfast Star because there is no bed and breakfast hotel in the snow.

Trapped in a dogs kennel
One dark stormy night I was trapped in a dogs kennel with 7 loud dogs. But it was cosy among all the cushins. It was very warm too but I didn’t want to go to sleep. I wasn’t sleepy I was playful. I just wanted to play with the dogs but what if mum heard me from the house? I stared at the bones and dog food. The 7 dogs started barking as loud as a siren. I just played with the dogs. But when a dog called Sparks caught a frisbee I saw a bright light in Spark's mouth. Spark closed his jaws mysteriosly and out came a magic frisbee and a secret key.He started talking like a real person.

The Enormous Foot Print
One day I was running down the beach with my little sister. Suddenly me and my little sister came to a fast stop and looked down at our feet and there was ... an enormous gigantic foot print. My sister shyly followed the enormous foot prints with me. It took us to this huge world. We were like tiny ants compared to the huge world. My sister was even smaller. Suddenly the world shook and me and my sister heard a whole lot of thumps. In front of us there was a gigantic giant as tall as the eiffle tower. Me and my sister ran as fast as we could home terrified to tell our mum there is a huge gaint in this world.My mum was terrified.

disaster
One day when I was in bed sleeping I heard my Dad snoaring. Suddenley my Dad stoped snoaring and I heard a bang clang and crack. I ran outside and saw... the sun broken and seperated across the sky. I walked inside and my Dad was snoaring again. I walked outside and the sun was back to normal again. So I got back into bed. When Dad stopped snoring I knew the sun became a disaster again!
Alive Bins
The Alive Rubbish Bins
On a very hot day I was seriously sweaty. It was like there was a volcano about to explode! I was in my car. I looked out of the window and I saw something green and bright. I got out of the car and saw a shadow. Something on the rubbish bins moved. It was like they were talking. I listened carefully and I heard them introduce themselves. "Hi I am Happy", "I am naughty", "I am pretty", "I am lovely", "I am camera" then I said, "can you take a photo of me?" Then another rubbish bin replied, "I am crazy". They started chasing me. To be continued...
