Samoan Language Week

This week was Samoan Language Week. In Room 6 we learnt a lot about Samoa and the Samoan culture. We watched Cultural Hub clips about the Samoan alphabet, animals and body parts. Did you know that the Samoan alphabet has only 17 letters? We had experts teaching us greetings and phrases.
Our experts were Matila, Remy and Rosa.

Science in a Van

A few days ago, we had science in a van. During "Science in a van", they did some cool experiments.
They balanced a mop on only two fingers using physics. Then another guy did another physics experiment. He picked up a table with a bottle with a cloth underneath it. Then he removed the cloth  underneath it and the bottle didn't move at all. They did more experiments, but the last experiment was my favourite. They got some dry ice and sealed it tight in a container. And for a moment, it didn't do anything... but popped off when you least expected it.

Balloon Experiments

Yesterday we did some science experiments. We blew some balloons and tested the pressure. The balloons were red, yellow and blue. The blue was the one with the most air pressure because it was so big and all the pressure was getting all pushed and it was really packed. The red was the least because it was so small. We did another experiment, where someone blew the balloon and put it underwater in a bucket. When he unleashed it, it went back to it's original size, then water came splashing out of the bucket. 

Growth Mindset Studies

In term 1 we learnt about growth mindset.
We studied about famous people like, Marie Curie,
Thomas Edison and Martin Luther King ,JR. Our group chose to study about Albert Einstein.

This is mine. I chose to study about Albert Einstein because he discovered the famous equation e=mc2.
