We are creating animations about an Olympic Creed moment for each Summer Olympics since the Modern Olympics started.  We had to research about world history as well as what was happening at the Olympics.  Here we are in the middle of making our animations.

Lunchtime fun

Anna around the world...

Right now I'm in London watching the Olympics. Last Sunday we went to the gymnastics. Here's some photos of them and the last photo is of me and Bethan with Vanessa Ferrari. She did the hardest thing you can do on the floor and went into the finals to end 8th out of 24. We also went to Madame Tussauds and saw heaps of famous people there like Usain bolt and Van Gough and the Beatles.

Go, go go Mapua!

We won against Takaka school today for the Year 5/6 challenge.

Olympics research

This term we have been learning about the Olympics we had to research about what happend around that time.  My group's year was 1900.   We found out that 1899-1901 there was a Boxer rebellion because the Chinese did not like the influence of the Emperor  and how they controlled the opium trade.  So they had a war and the result was that eight alliance army won against China.

Sheep math strategy

Here is an example of the Sheeps' strategy.


2X3=6
x2   x2

As you can see I've put X2 underneth the 2 and the 6. The X2 means we X the 2 and makes it 4 same with the 6 which is the answer. Here's the rest of it.


2    X3    =  6
x2             x2
4     x3    =12
x2             x2
8    x3     =24


And now that is how I lernt to do my 8X tables

Amazing Lava Lamps

 Man Whaea Aroha is crazy in Room 7.  Wow those Lava Lamps are amazing.   My favorite is the green , red ,blue and yellow.  The blue made a huge twister from the Alka-seltzer... amazing.

Pocket Rockets

A little bit of fun,...  how to trap gas and cause an explosion to make pocket rockets. Well you add water into a film canister  and then add a tablet called Alka-Seltzer.    Shut the lid as fast as you can then back away and watch what happens.
