Scarborough park

Yesterday we went to the park. We went for a long walk and then we planted a puhutakawa tree. It was awesome.

the evil witch

Once upon a time in a faraway land there was a young girl who lived alone in a small cottage. She was called Sophie. She had long blonde hair and blue sparkley eyes. One day after she had been for a walk through the forest she arrived home to realise that her house was locked and she had lost her key. Sophie decided she would go into the forest and find the key. Sophie searched through high and low but couldnt find anything. Suddenly she saw a tower but her key was nowhere in sight. While she was searching she saw a witch garding the tower and making sure no one was getting in. Sophie noticed that the key was around the witch's neck. She realised that she would need a plan to get her key back. She thought of an amazing plan. She saw a prince walking by. Sophie asked the prince if he could chop the witches head of to get her key back. The prince chopped the witches head off and Sophie got her key back and lived happily ever after.

how cows digest food

We drink milk every day.But how does grass turn to milk?Firstly cows eat 75kg of grass a day.


They curl thier tounge around the grass.While they are chewing.Then the grass goes to the first two stomachs and they burp it up as cud.They chew the cud for 1 minute and swallow it.Next the cud goes to the last two stoumachs.The nutrients come from the grass the nutrients is absorbed into cows bloodstream.

Now you can see how milk is made.

Popcorn

Popcorn before it popped

We are doing an experiment using popcorn.First Room 9 brainstormed about popcorn and what it looks like as kernels.

Then Miss Dippie poured the popcorn kernels into a pot with bran oil.
We listened to the popcorn exploding but it was hard to hear it because people were being noisy.
Then we brain tormed about what had changed to the popcorn kernels.

e.g. they hadchanged size.

When they were finished we went inside and got some popcorn.

I had lots of fun!
