Stone carving

What did I do in the workshop today? (Monday 19 November)
Today in group B I begin to shape my koru, with the cheese grater. I was also carving in the spirual and I sandpapered it to make to more round.
I think that at this moment in time I am making really good progress with my stone carving.
My next step is to shape it properly with the cheese grater.

 Monday 26 Nov
Kia ora today I will be working on my second stone carving that I want to take home, the two ideas I have thought of are Maui's Fish Hook, or harakeke.
Mauis fish hook because I think it represents leadership and bravery and trickery because that's what Maui was known for
Harakeke because I like the design and I think it represents family and love.

Add CO2. Investigate which proportions of tartaric acid and baking soda produce the most bubbles and record your result on a chart or graph.

6*.place some drops of water on a piece of cotton or wool material and observe what happens. Now touch each of  of the drops with a match or tooth pick which has been dipped in dish washing liquid. Record what you see and explain why Detergent and then touch the match stick onto the milk in the centre of the container.Explain what you observe.

1 tsp baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 tsp citric acid.
3 Tbsp icing sugar.
2 Tbsp flavoured jelly crystals.
bowls & measuring spoons

Christs College Trip!

30/11/2017

Last week on Wednesday I was selected to be one of the 10 year 7 students to represent that were chosen to go to Christ College, We were separated into groups we got red bags with a small water bottle, a book with a pen
We got to do some activities around Christs college. My group was Sophie Pascoe, I was with Faith.

My favorite thing about the whole experience was the attitude talk it was funny and enjoyable, especially when they told us their stories.

I Learnt that I am a golden retrotter, (golden retriever and a otter)
I also learnt that it is better to communicate by using someones name. Also use body language.
Big Thanks To Miss Tozer for taking us to Christ Collage.

Here are a couple of pictures that were taken during the wonderful event!
