Stunning Science

Kia ora. At Paihia School our class Te Ngahere went to Bay College for a science roadshow. I learnt that there are different types of gases around the world and that if you pour liquid nitrogen onto a balloon the balloon will shrink because the liquid nitrogen is so cold the gas in the balloon dissolves and then when you blow on it the liquid nitrogen vanishes and the gas makes its way back into the balloon. There were also different types of science projects my favorite one was when you have to try and make any object in a basket float mid way up a tube while the tube was pushing the wind up. I managed to make a object stop I used a shuttlecock with a light piece of string. The purpose of this experiment was to see if it mattered by the shape of the object or the weight of the object. Have you ever been to a science roadshow?

Ngahau (amazing) Technology

Kia ora. At Paihia School all of the year 7 and 8’s went to technology. I enjoy technology because we are building waka and the year 7’s made a apple sponge cake. I think that my waka is coming together really well because I was trying to make everything perfect, I want my waka to be better than everybody else’s. Have you ever built a waka before?

Cyber Smart Relationships

Kia ora. In Te Ngahere my class and I have been learning to be internet safe, this includes so that we don’t talk to strangers or so that we don’t give random people our personal information. We can only be safe by not sharing personal information or talking to strangers online. Have you ever talked to a stranger?

Ngahau Technology

Kia ora. At Paihia School all of the year 7 and 8’s went to technology. The year 7’s are doing cooking and the year 8’s are doing woodwork. My year group are making little wooden waka. We are also still learning about how to use some of the tools like the metal melting tool. I think that I am doing a great job on my waka but I also think that I need to get better at using the file because I am not that great at it. Have you been to technology before?

Fishy Cybersmart

Kia ora. In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to use more tools on Google drawing to create pictures of animals or anything. What we had to do was create anything using the tools that we learnt how to use. What I made was fish and electric eel and patrick and spongebob. I think that I am really good at doing this because I think that my drawings are great but I also think that I need more practice because they ain't the best. Do you use Google drawing?

Ngahau Sports

Kia ora. At Paihia School Te Ngahere and Te Maunga have been gathering to do pe rotations. The sports were touch, soccer, netball and skill games. The sport that I played was touch rugby and we were learning how to pass the ball correctly and to collaborate with our team members. We also learnt how to look before you pass so the other team doesn't catch the ball mid bass that is called a interception. My favorite sport is soccer because there is a lot of running included. What is your favorite sport?

Running Ball

Kia ora. In the holiday I went to soccer practice. Soccer practise is really important for me because I want to get really fit. Soccer is a really great sport if you want to get fit because there is a lot of running in this sport. To score points you have to pass and work with your team to get to the goal on the other side of the pitch (field). In the goal there is a goalie, the goalie tries to stop the ball with his body and if you get the ball in the goal the goalie also uses gloves to stop the ball. If the goalie misses you score a point. Soccer is one of my favorite sports because it includes a lot of running. What type of sport do you play?
