The Wonder Project - Lesson 4 - Building and making rockets

 Hello Bloggers, 

Today me and my class and the senior classes had another lesson of The Wonder Project. We all went to the hall and sat down. One of the teachers told us all about aerodynamic, we also watched a video of what Newton's second law. Newton's second law was F=ma, the F is for force and the M is for mass and A alteration. Then Cole came up to the stage to test flight paper air planes. He then chose 3 volunteers to test flight it. Then everyone got A4 paper to make their own paper plane after that everyone got to test flight their paper planes. Then Cole chose people to test flight their planes in front of everyone. Everyone went back to their classes and got in to their groups to build their rockets. My group used cardboard for they wings and used 2 2.5 litre bottles to create our rocket. We cut off the top head of the bottle and added it to the bottom of the bottle to my the nose cone. Me and my group then taped the nose cone and the wings. After my group got another bottle and wrote our group name on it.

The wonder project - Newton's first law ( Session 3 )

 Hi Bloggers,

Today for this week my class and me had another Wonder Project today with the senior classes. We learnt about Newton's first law, we watched a video about Newton and then we did a couple of fun tricks with 1.5 litre bottles. We got bottles filled with water, half way and empty bottles. My class and I went back to our class room and watched a video of what was Newton's first law was. We designed our own rocket with bottles using paper. My group had to choose someone from our team to present their drawing or people could borrow different designs from other people from your team. My team chose my bottle because it had good wings and it also had good designs. 

 

Auckland Zoo Trip

 Hello Bloggers,

Today me and my class and the senior class went to Auckland Zoo. We went in buses to go to Auckland Zoo, when we arrived someone introduced herself to us and then she told us the rules and we went into our groups. First me and my group went and saw the orangutans and then we went and saw the siamangs. We went and looked at South America, Australia Bush Track, South East Asia, and Te Wao Nui. When it was 11:30 me and my group went back to near the domes and we had a snack. When it was 12:00, my class and the other senior class followed Lizzy the instructor we went and saw the Africa Safari Track, when we went there we saw the giraffes, zebras, ostrich's, nyala, meerkat, portcupine, leopard, tortoise, waterbuck, rhinoceros, flamingos, baboons, servals, lovebirds, and cheetahs. We also went and saw the Asian elephants, we didn't get to see the lions because they died we really wanted to see them but they got sick and died. After we were done everyone went to see the spider monkeys. Everyone ate again and then my group decided to go toilet before we go on to the bus. After that we went to play at the park that was close to us. After that we went back to where we were and said thank you to Izzy and said Bye. 

The wonder project - Test launch

Hello Bloggers,

This week for The Wonder Project our senior school classes looked at the health & safety. We were lucky to have Cole to help us with The Wonder Project. We watched a couple of videos from The Wonder Project about how to launch your rocket & what are the rules. We went onto Keith hay park to test our rockets to see of it works, we then had Justin & Keti as Cole's assistants. We had some booklets to complete with our teams and every time we complete a mission we get a sticker to put on our booklets.

The weather was rainy and windy, but everyone knew that we only has Cole on Tuesdays and without Cole we can't do The Wonder Project. Cole pumped the air pumper and set the PSI up to 60 because the rules were to only put the PSI up to 60 a less. We counted down from 5 and stayed back 3 meters because that was the rules. The rocket bottle went up high and went on the on the parking lot. Some one went carefully and got the bottle, we were all cheering. Then we did a couple more launching with the rockets.

Food of thought

Hello world of bloggers,

Our senior school classes were so lucky to have Isabel from the Heart foundation to visit our school and teach us a program called Food of Thought. Last week our class had two sessions and this week is going to be our last session.

We learnt many kinds of facts about milk and milk products, fruits and vegetables, grain foods, and lean meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, legumes, beans, nuts, and seeds. These are everyday foods. Isabel also told us that kids are only supposed to have the amount of 5 teaspoons of sugar, me and my class was shocked about what Isabel told us because we all knew that us kids have been having more than 5 teaspoons of sugar.

We also read the labels at the back of cereal packets with groups, my class and I really enjoyed our food of thought sessions.
