Check Out This Great Wacky Wednesday Post
Kia ora bloggers every week we have something fun to do and this week we did Wacky Wednesday. On Tuesday afternoon I went straight home to find something to wear, I found a colourful wig, a green top and skirt and some black glasses. The top and skirt was too big for me but my nan sewed it up so it would fit me well. Then on Wednesday I went to school all dressed up and saw most of the school dressed up as well, they all looked so cool it made me so happy. I saw my friends dressed up so I went and hung out with them and went around to have a look at all the classrooms.I think Nga Motu looked the best they had chairs flipped over, gum boots on the poles of the tables and even lots of things on the wall that don't belong there. My teachers dressed up as our house groups (Pohutukawa, Karaka, Kowhai and Rimu ) they all looked so pretty. My favourite part was seeing everyone dressed up. I think the people dressed up the best was Jade-R, Angela and Jaelyn-Marie, they were fairies.
Have you done a Wacky Wednesday and dressed up?

My winning dots
this is my winning dots in here this will tell you what te Ngahere done
In Te Ngahere we have been learning winning dots and today I am going to tell you what te Ngahere has been learning. There is 2 classes and the kids from the classes gets a cricket ball to throw and see how far they can get it.Now when everyone from each class gets a turn we see where they threw it now they could throw it at 5 meters or maybe 7 meters or even 20 meters the next thing we had to do was to see where the balls landed and what meter they landed on. The next thing we had to do was we look at the worksheet and if you can see all those numbers you would want to write down how many of the same number you can see and write it on top of the number.

Hi my name is Manu ,I’m a new student at Paihia School. I live on the Extravaganza fair. I work for my Dad I make pancakes for him. My Brother works for the candy floss man. We all enjoy it its super fun. I travel around NZ in my blue truck all year and come back in winter. I’m happy that I have a School to go to erey day and I can’t wait to go back to the fair.I can do a fire show using fire poi. The Extravaganza fair stops every weekend at a new field. There are a lot of shops like a merry go round, crystal shop and a coffee shop and much more. There are clam shops like massages and tea reading. The Extravaganza starts at the bottom of Invercargill up to the top of the Bay of Island. The fair travails for 36 weeks.

The Fun Science Roadshow Science Exhibit
On Monday 21st of June Te Ngahere went to a road show at Kawakawa, Bay of Islands College. When we first arrived at the Bay Of Islands School. We walked into their big fancy hall. Then we sat down on the cold floor so we could watch the first show. We sat on the ground for a few minutes before they started to talk. Then we walked around to different science exhibits and they had a lot of different activities to do. There were Bay College students standing there, explaining all of the tricky exhibits because we didn't know what to do. I walked around to a toilet flush activity and it teaches you how to use a toilet. I walked over to another one and you had to try to balance a plastic ball on top of a pipe that blew air out. My favorite exhibit was the one that you had to create a shape out of light fluffy string. I created a circle and made another circle so I could tie them together. I made progress and it flew half way up to the roof. I learnt how light things will fly because it doesn’t have that much weight on it unlike the balls that I tried. I tried to make them fly but they had too much weight on them. Have you ever been to a science roadshow ?

Exploring A Room Of Science
In Te Ngahere we have been learning science and we went to the science roadshow at the BAY OF ISLANDS COLLEGE and there were some things I learnt. So there was a bird quiz that you had to find out the sound of the bird which I didn't know? and so I came pass this sound so and I didn’t even know so I pick the kaka bird and it was right now I know what sound a kaka bird makes. It was my buddys turn now and he had no idea what it was so he just kept guessing and he picked the right answer and so the answer he got a kiwi we went to try another thing we found another thing which was a smelling fruit kinda thing so the point was rub your finger on the ball and smell it but the thing is I can’t smell so my buddy had a go because he could smell. So he did find out the smell the smell was a orange and that made me feel happy and good.
The Amazing great marble challenge
In Te Ngahere we have been doing a great marble challenge. We did this because we were using the scientific method. The purpose of this was to try and make the marble roll down the ramp and try and make the marble land on 1100mm. I really think me and my group did really well because we had such a creative good looking ramp. The materials we used were cardboard, hot glue, a marble so it could go down the ramp and a paper towel roll. I really enjoyed trying to make a ramp because me and my group had so much faith in ourselves. This activity was really fun to do because me and my group sat there laughing most of the time and we all put in an effort in to help our ramp. Have you ever done a marble challenge ?
