Life Jackets - Cool ?

On Tuesday, we were taught how to put on a life jacket and what to do with it. We were put into pairs and we took a life jacket for our pairs from our teacher. We made demonstrations and started playing a little with the life jackets. It was really funny because some of us were bumping into each other on 'Purpose', especially me. Life jackets are really important when you are in some kind of water, like the ocean. Life jackets can save lives. It was really really fun learning about life jackets and I hope that we actually get to go in the water with one.

The Museum has displays of photographs, artifacts, Maori patterns and wooden carvings that were invented in the past. People from New Zealand come to visit the Museum and learn about their Culture and the past.

One can find out how many volcanoes erupted in the sea and in the open spaces.The volcanic room takes people through real life experience on volcanic eruptions. The sound of eruptions creates an atmosphere of terror and makes people scramble for shelter and safety.

Celery Surprise

Celery Surprise
Yesterday we had a experiment. We used celery, water and blue food coloring we left the celery in the water mixed with food coloring. we could have used a type of flower but Mrs Gorge our new teacher decided that we would use celery. Today we looked at the celery and we all saw that some of the celery was blue and the celery sucked some of the water.
