Science Roadshow

On Tuesday we went to the Science Roadshow. We learnt about space. They set off some explosions. We learnt about chemistry. We also got to walk around the room and look at all the exhibitions. We Learnt that we are all made out of star dust. They made this pink and blue foamy stuff that went everywhere. A man got some water and spun it round except it didn't fall out because of gravity. We got to lie on a bed of nails and it didn't hurt. I think it didn't hurt because all the nails are close together so it doesn't hurt.

The capital E Festival of the Arts

On the 14th of March capital E put on an amazing experience for us. We got to go to 3 different shows, the 2nd one was my favourite so I will be talking about it first. It was called Wolfgang's Musical Circus.

These are my thoughts about it. The only negatives were that if you were on a side you couldn't see the door on your side. When they ran off the stage to do something on the floor everyone had to stand up so they could see them. And they only picked people on the bottom floor to interact with. Other than that the show was amazing. The seats were comfy, there was a bar, there are 3 platforms they were these amazing gymnasts and I couldn't take my eyes off them.

The next one was called Gabez. The negatives were that it was in a small stuffy room and we had to sit on the floor. For me it got a bit boring because all they did was mime for about half an hour. You were squished up against people and couldn't move around without hitting people by accident. Other than that it was great.

Makey Makey workshop.

On the 28th of February we went to Maoriland and we did the makey makey workshop. In the makey makey workshop you make instruments out of fruit or veges. This year we made a piano out of carrots. You need to have an earth which was me, so when I touched the carrots or whatever you made it out of it would be a piano.
We also made a present and recorded our voices so when the earth is attached to you it would tell you about whatever you made. This year we made it out of paperclips, tinfoil, cardboard and wires. It was really fun. Our creation kind of failed but it was still fun. I learnt that you can pretty much make anything if you have the right equipment and to never give up because you will eventually get there if you have enough time. I am still proud though because we still gave it a try and achieved our goal by going up there and explaining our creation.

My senses

The delicious kitchen.

• I love to eat in the kitchen

• I love to see juicy oranges on the bench, it makes my mouth water

The beach.

• I love the feel of when your feet slowly sink into the hot sand dunes and it squishies between my toes.
• I get bitten by a crab with a mouthful of yuck salty sea water.

• I slide down a sand dune while getting covered in sand.
• I chase a seagull while getting covered in sand.

My messy bedroom.

• I step on the wet floor from my wet togs and towel.
• I hear the birds chirping in the morning when the sun comes flying at me.
• I see myself dancing in the mirror dying of bordom.
