Hokey Pokey

Have you ever thought of how Hokey Pokey is similar to lava? It didn't occur to us, until Mr Hunia (student teacher) surprised us! With making the delicious treat: Hokey Pokey!! I know that you're thinking,"Why on earth,would you make Hokey Pokey at school? Well,it all started in our schools kitchen.

Mr Hunia added in the first 2 ingredients in to the saucepan. Sugar and golden syrup . They began to dissolve in to a golden-brown colour. But as soon as he added in the baking soda, the hokey pokey began to expand slowly It then changed in to golden-yellow colour. The hokey pokey stuck to the wooden spoon, as Mr Hunia stirred the mixture.

Just like scolding lava, hokey pokey is viscous and runny when it is hot! As the hokey pokey cools it is a solid mass and easily shattered, porous and brittle.To us the hokey pokey felt JUST like scoria rock,because scoria rock has little wholes in it like hokey pokey.

"Well here it goes" I said. I took one bite of the hokey pokey we had made, I said, "This is delicious". The hokey pokey tasted bitter and sweet. I sucked all the syrup I could get out of it. It was real sweet, it tasted Magnificent.

We had a great day making hokey pokey. At the end of the day I felt like I learned a lot from hokey pokey and lava. It was a fun experience day.

Want to Know how an Island is Formed?

Hi Everybody, This is my Active Earth animation. It is showing how an island is formed, from an underwater volcano. It took me a long time to figure out all the information. I hope you enjoy. By Seini-Mino

The Next Step

I think the next movie we are going to make will have better delivering on the message. It will also have a slogan. When we presented our movie we thought that we tried our least best. This time we will have a second chance to improve on our first movie we made. It will have all the improvements above and more.

Taking it to the next step will be kind of difficult for us ,but we will try to do our best for our second chance at trying to make our movie more better.

This is our first movie we made.

Learning

Greetings everybody, do you like learning? Well I am going to tell you why I do. My favourite learning subject is Reading. Reading to me is like an adventure the only thing is that the adventure is right where you are sitting and in your mind.
That is one of the reasons why I like learning and reading.


Electronic learning (on a computer) can be very fun. The fun thing about this is that you can draw on the computer. Just not any picture you can draw, it has to be something related to the topic that your class is learning about. Like room 17 we were learning about the Treaty of Waitangi.

Learning is really important to me because maybe one day it could help alot.

The Highlight's

Hello everybody,I am going to tell you about my highlight's of the term. In fact I think this term has gone by really quick.

The highlight of the term for me was... Feeling like what it would be being a year six. I have enjoyed my couple of weeks here at Point England school, It was really great being a BIG year six. I just can't wait until next term, I wonder what other fun things we will do next term? I think we will be studying about food next term.

The video conference with D'Wayne Edwards was so cool. D'Wayne Edwards is the one of the head designer's for Nike. That video conference was amazing. He encouraged us and he never gave up he kept on trying and trying that's what he told us. That really inspired me to do better in everything.

Camp was actually the was the most enjoyable highlight this term. I felt like what it would be if I was Captain, yes I said it, a captain. When I found out I was captain I was so shocked with amazement,after I found out I thought I would be ready and show all the people I can be a great captain. Those three whole days being captain was a dream,that was just a privilege.

My goals for next term is to do well in my Writing and my Maths. I think I can achieve them by the end of next term.I have had a great term here and I can't wait until next term.

D'Wayne Edwards

As you are all about to hear it, the extension group and I had a video conference with...D'Wayne Edward's, how cool is that! If you don't know D'Wayne Edwards he is one of the head designer's for Nike (the shoe design company), If you are shocked I was at first too.

The video conference was on Friday, wait for it.... after school! I know it's just not fair. That wouldn't stop me though. I come in here as on as possible, and we were on in ten minuets.

We had started and I sat there listening very well. He told us that he had kept a card in his wallet, which his mum gave to him when he was little, he is too emotional to read it because his mum had passed away. The card talked about believing in yourself and never give up.

D'Wayne told us his life story. When he was seventeen he entered a drawing competition and he came first, the real sad thing was that the prize was a job and the managers of the competition said that he was to young


That video conference told me that to never give up. I can't wait until the next video conference with D'Wayne.
