Thinking Hats (Gala Day)

Hey Guys! How are you? I'm PHANTASMAGORICAL!! Anyway, as you will probably know recently was our school Gala Day. It was really fun and I really enjoyed it. If you didn't know the Gala Day was raising money for the school to build a new junior playground. We raised the money by selling things we made in school. Anyway, enough chitter chatter, here's my thinking hats...

Gala Day

Hey guys! How are you? I'm Phantasmagorical whilst writing this. Anyway, next week the 25th Nov we will be having a Gala day at Waikowhai Primary School. There will be stalls, a bake sale and a sausage sizzle. My class (Manukau) will be selling 100% recycled paper in the form of cards, packs of recycled paper and christmas tags. The reason we decided to sell recycled paper is so that not as many trees need to be cut down and also it's more sustainable. As a school we've cut down on how much paper we use. Here are the steps to recycling paper...

1. Tear up some paper into little squares about 2x2cm. 
   
2. Put those squares into a bucket and add in hot water.
   
3. Mix with a potato masher or egg beater. Don't use a blender because the paper destroys the blades of the blender.
   
4. Mix the paper until it looks like mush like this. (It will be different colours depending on what coloured paper you used.)                                       ⇩
   
5. Pour your paper mush into a large container and add another bucket of water (hot or cold.)
   
6. Get two old picture frames that fit together and some net with very small holes in it. Put the net in between the two picture frames.
   
7. Dip it into the water with the paper in it and scoop some paper up. Let the water drain and take off the top picture frame.
   
8. Flip the net off the other picture frame onto a surface to dry.
9. Slowly rub the net on the paper then slowly peel it off. Leave it to dry.
   
10. Enjoy your finished masterpiece!

My NZ Journey (Full)

Hey guys! How are you? I'm Phantasmagorical whilst writing this. Anyway, last time I posted I showed you one of my slides from My NZ Journey but now I'm going to show you the whole thing. It took me about 1½ weeks to do it. I found it really fun to do because I quite like math and doing accounting. The hardest bit was probably booking the flight, although we didn't actually complete the entire booking, we just pretended. And also I wasn't quite sure what to say for how many bags I want to bring and things like that. The easiest part was probably choosing the hotels. It was really fun and I  learnt to do accounting better Anyway, as much as I'd like to talk to you about math all day I have other things to do, here it is.. .

Oscar's Nz Journey

Hey guys! How are you? I'm Fantazmagorical whilst writing this. Anyway, this term so far we've been doing accounting for our maths. We had been set a challenge to get from the bottom of the South island to the top of the North island. We had to make sure our maths was right all the way so our total sum would be correct.

Here is one of the 40 slides we had to do...

In this slide we had to choose an airline to fly from Auckland to Dunedin. I chose Jetstar because it's cheaper. I found amusing because at one point I nearly ACTUALLY booked my flight!

Here is a link to the whole presentation, https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1f61xydjTcY4ou3axhbfnpFYObcbishK0MBkYMGoWENE/edit#slide=id.p

My Coding Inquiry Presentation

Hey guys! How are you? I'm fantastic whilst writing this. Anyway this term our inquiry topic was mountains. So I thought, "Hmmm, what could I do that links with mountains and how could I present it. Oohhh, I know! My topic could be volcanic eruptions and I could present it using coding." (Our topic was mountains because if you don't already know we went to Mt. Ruapehu for camp this year. And I chose to do coding because I do coding classes.) Anyway here's my presentation and a feedback sheet AND a link to scratch the coding platform I used...

The Nexus Science Show By Richard & Robyn

Hey guys! How are you? I'm fantastic whilst writing this. Anyway let's get to the point. This week at my school two people called Richard & Robyn came in to show us some science. Richard showed us the science and Robyn was the DJ. Richard was teaching us about Chemicals and Physics. My two favourite parts were 1. When he got a small cup of sodium polyacrylate and a cup of water with yellow food colouring. The cup of water with yellow food colouring represented urine, and the small cup of sodium polyacrylate represented a nappy. When he mixed the water with yellow food colouring in it with the sodium polyacrylate, it turned in to a yellow jellowy substance. 2. My second favourite part was when he lit a lighter and threw grain in to it. If I could ask 1 question to richard it would be, "What is the coolest science experiment you've ever done?" Here's some video's from the day...

My Playground Design

Hey guys, How are you? I'm spectacular whilst writing this. The juniors at my school have had their playground removed due to safety hazards. So this week we decided to go on to Tinkercad and design a playground for them. It was challenging because I didn't really know what the juniors would want. But it was fun anyway. Here's a screencastify tour for my playground...
