Our trip to the pa

This week we went on a trip to a pa site  we were learning about whirikoka and how they used to live. This is what the Maori tribes used to live in. They had small door because the it was harder for the rain to get through it and was harder for other tribes to get in.There whare’s(houses) were smaller at the front and bigger at the back they had this design because they had the air vent at the back and they normally had a fire at the front and the smoke would come to the back and out the vent hole.I enjoyed making the whare (house) out of long logs and string.Next time I would change the style of the little house that we made.

Would you go to this pa?

Wobbly Jelly

This week we made jelly and we were also learning how to compare and contrast for the activity. We made our own jelly out of gelatin and food colouring. For the ½ tsp for the green and 1 tsp for the red and 2 tsp for the blue. For the food colouring we had to put in 2 drops of the colour into 3 different cups.I enjoyed playing with the jelly and squishing it. I found it challenging trying to find what tsp was the right one to use next time I would change what I was doing .

What does jelly feel like? 

 Jelly feels nice and smooth with a squishy texture

Why does jelly set?

Jelly sets because it sits in the fridge it like a spider web but instead of bugs it collects water and its called a colloid.

where is the gelatin?

The gelatin dissolves into the hot water.

What texture do you prefer?

I prefer the red one because of its nice wobbly texture

Cat Or Dog Art.

The past two weeks we have been learning to collage types of papers and blend.we learned this because if we were just going to mix 2 or 3 colours if we didn’t learn this it’s would look like  a work from a five year old but when you do blend it looks way better.for the activity we made a dog or cat art we used small brushes for the fur and other details for the eyes and the nose we used a pastel.I enjoyed making the eyes and the nose. The most challenging part was doing the fur on the cat. Next time I would change by doing  a dog.

Would you rather make a cat or a dog art?
