This week we have been doing summer learning journey. Yesterday we were doing grove pizza. Today we have been doing a different activity. We did make a comic square. Make a comic square is when we make a super hero slide. I used a google draw to do it. 
Summer learning journey
This week we have been doing summer learning journey. On it we were making our own kind of music. It was fun. I liked making music. I really wanted to play the music that I made really loud. We can play lots of different songs. We could change the what the music sounds like.
Science
Today Piwakawaka did some science. For science we got a jug of water and a hot water bottle. We also used the end of a water bottle. On the end of the water bottle there was a tube that went to the hot water bottle. The hot water bottle was put in the middle to peaces of wood. When we would hold the end of the water bottle up high the water would go into the hot water bottle. When we put the end of the water bottle closer to the ground the water in the hot water bottle would start to come out. Most of the class got to stand on the on the top peace of wood. When we would stand on the wood we would hold the end of the water bottle up high in the ear and the water would go into the hot water bottle and we would get taller. When we would put the end of the bottle down we would get shorter. We were learning all about hydraulics.
Fake news
This week Piwakawaka has been learning about fake news. Today for fake news we had to make a picture of fake news. I learnt how to tell if it is fake by looking at the web address, like .co.com and the picture
Fake news
This week Piwakawaka has been learning about fake news. For fake news we would have to read news and find out if it is real or not. When we first started learning about fake news we were trying to find out if tree octopus were real.
Little blue penguins
Today I went to the beach. We went to the beach to look at little blue penguin tracks. My favourite part was looking in the holes that the penguins made.
reader theatre
This week we did readers theatre. It is when you have a book and we have our own character. The character that we were acting would have it’s own part that we would have to read out. We did lots of practising then we would read it out in front of the class. The class had to find a buddy and they would have a peas of paper. Then they would judge one person that was in the group that was reading. There were heaps of different groups. I was in a group that was called how birds got their colours.
Earthquakes
Today the class earthquake experiment. We did it by getting cornflower and water. Then we mixed it together. At the start we stuck our fingers in the cornflower and water. It was kind of hard to get our fingers to the bottom of the cup. We were in a group of six. When I put my finger in it felt like it was pulling on my finger. When we didn’t have our finger in it we could see the water but when we did have our finger in it we couldn’t see the water. When we shock the container the water would come up.
world most grumpy child
On Thursday we had a show. The show was called the worlds most grumpy child. There were three people that come into school. it was a good show. The show went for one hour. Some parts of the show was really funny. My back started to hurt from sitting on the ground for to long. We had Kokatahi school come and watch the show with us. I liked the show.

On Wednesday we went to the Hokitika Gorge. We went to the gorge to look at the alpine fault. W
