At 9.26am on Wednesday 26 September (9:26-26:9), more than 1.3 million New Zealanders participated in the New Zealand ShakeOut earthquake drill, the first ShakeOut drill held nationwide in any country!
Ruma Whitu watched this video, before taking part in the big Shake Out drill.  We practised what to do if there was an earthquake while we were at school.  They were awesome!!!  Now they need to sort out what to do at home so come on parents make sure we are prepared and know exactly what to do.  It could save lives.

*What an awesome turn out of parents.  Thankyou so much to those of you that came as it is this that helps the students see that their work is worthwhile and being done for a reason (a real life audience).
Thanks again

Following our Bee Inquiry we were allowed to answer some of our own wonderings.
Our topics ranged from - Ants, Space, Flowers, Cats and even How is Usain Bolt the fastest man in the world?  We followed the same process we used for our bee topic and then we chose how we wanted to present our findings.  Here are some of the pictures showing our models we made.

Space - Are the other planets the same as Earth?

  Kaidah
 
 
Cats - How to be a good cat owner?
 
  Sapphire/Leana


Caterpillars - How does a caterpillar turn into a butterfly?

  Jorjia
 
Snow - How is snow made?

Ruma whitu went over to room 12 to make our own juice.  Here is some snipits of what we thought:
  • Kaidah - I thought it was going to be yucky, but it was yum and delicious. 
  • Sapphire - The juicer sounded like a vacuum cleaner.  We had to take turns, then it was my turn.  I had a bit of everything except the bananas.     
  • Stance - The juicer was spinning like a tornado.  We put apple, kiwifruit, orange and pears in.  The juicer was chunky with fruit. 
  • Sativa - When I drank it, it was delicious and refreshing.  It started dripping down my mouth. 
  • Tiare - It looked milky and frothy.  The pulp looked chunky.  My juice was so yum and refreshing.  
  • Tajai - I pushed a plunger down to make the fruit go down into the blade, the blade was twirling and it made a vacuum noise.  When my juice was finished it looked orange on top and it was frothy to. 
  • Leana - It was funny when Whaea Lisa put the apple inside the machine because it popped out of it and it looked like popcorn, popping out of the machine.  It was funny. 
Have a look at some of our pictures -
