Reading Emotions-Lauren and Patricia

These are Lauren and Patricia's photos from our reading activities we are showing different emotions in every photo.  Our book was 'Tarakura of the Rangitaiki Plains'.  This book is about a Maori chief called Iratumoana and his family stopped going to see him and his villagers because a menace of a taniwha was demolishing everything in his path including, people.

  

Tarawera-Change

To assist in your efforts to research what it was like to be a survivor of the Tarawera Eruption ask your parents and do some personal research.  Bring any information you find to school on a thumb drive or email me.  If you find a cool website to use, list it so that everyone can use it.



Happy hunting.

Brodi's egg experiment-Patricia and Brodi

Wow, look at what fun experiment Brodi has discovered.
Over the weekend. Brodi did research on soft shelled eggs
and she found this.  Eggs contain something called calcium
carbonate, this is what makes eggs hard. Vinegar is an acid
known acetic acid. When the egg and vinegar combine, a chemical
reaction takes place. A carbon dioxide gas is released. Brodi discovered
off Jonte's egg experiment.

So that night Brodi went home and tried to do the experiment.
All you need to do is get a container and get white vinegar and an egg. Put the egg in your container with the vinegar covering the whole egg and then you wait three days. Then your egg will be like a cooked egg and the shell will fade away completely.  Amazing!

Tarawera Change-Before and after the eruption (Tahi)

Scene 1-Tahi was trying to act out the people going to the pink and white Terraces it was lots of fun and hilarious.


Scene 2-Now we were acting out people getting trapped in their houses by the mud. So sad!

Hope you like it!!!
