     Why plastic is so bad!  We have to stop polluting.

Today I had to research why plastic is so bad for our planet. I already knew lots about this topic because mum talks about it often at home. She likes being very healthy.  And my brother Tyler likes to pick up litter at the beach to save the animals. I enjoyed this activity because it was easy for me to think of all of my facts. What do you do at home to reduce plastic??

Fizz Inflator!!!!

Today was a fun task. We got to make a fizz inflator. 

I had to find a small water bottle as the man in the video said smaller bottles worked best. 

Then fill it ¾ the way with white vinegar. 

Then I had to pour some baking soda into a balloon with a funnel. This was hard because the baking soda had lumps in it and kept getting stuck. 

Then the really hard part was trying to stick the balloon over the bottle without pouring the baking soda in. I was nervous to do it so my mum helped me..

Then I tipped the balloon up and the baking soda fell into the bottle of vinegar. And a chemical reaction happen and it started to fizz. All the air in the fiz blew up the balloon.

This was so cool. 

I have done these explosions before with my mum in the sandpit making a volcano when i was little

Next time i think i would use less baking soda so it doesn't overflow and fill the balloon up with vinegar.

 

 

 compost

What is compost?

Rotting, decomposing plants, leaves and food scraps and other organic matter. All of these break down into a special dirt which is called 'compost'. This is rich in plant nutrients and beneficial organisms made up of worms and fungus. 

What is compost used for?

Compost is used in gardens and around plants because it enriches the soil, helps retain moisture. stops pests from eating your plants and can stop your plants from dying of certain diseases. 

By using compost in your garden it reduces the need to use chemical fertilizers.

 Scavneger Hunt

With this task we had to find all of the 11 native species to NZ in the picture. Then choose one , do some research and answer some questions about it. Today i chose to write some facts about six of them. This activity was fun, I knew what most of the species were.  I got nine right. The two that I struggled with were the Taranaki wool and the epiphyte. i Have never heard of these before or seen them. Did you know about Taranaki wool and Epiphyte?

 Dolphins.

Today I had to learn all about Dolphins. Then I had to create a poster with facts on it about Dolphins. I really enjoyed this activity because I really like Dolphins, they are such beautiful creatures. The part of the task I found challenging was making the Dolphins food chain. This took me ages. What did you like the most about Dolphins?

my prayer space.

Today we had to create our own prayer space, with things that were special to us. 

In my prayer space I had two of my special candles my mum had given me. 

my plant and my little cactus and some flowers from the garden because I like plants.

And then my kauri snail, this is special to me, i found it in the bush a long time ago. 

Then I had 3 of my favorite crystals from my mum. I have collected lots of special crystals since I was little.

And I made a cross out of two sticks from the garden and mum spray painted them for me. 

I really enjoyed this activity, it was fun.

The challenging thing for me was trying to attach the sticks together for the cross.

 First I tried to nail them but they just split. So mum helped me and we cello taped them. 

what do you like about my special prayer space????
