The Fantastic Week 2

The Fantastic Week 2

The weeks have been interesting and exciting, I've been doing some incredible stuff like building at room 7. Me, Carlos and Victor made a space station using magnet tiles at discovery. their shapes that have magnets in them to join together and come in all shapes and sizes. We started making it by making some cubes and sticking to each other.

When we made it it did not look like a space station. So I asked them "Why does it look like this, it doesn't look like an ordinary space station?" But then they flipped it onto its spikes and I soon realized that it was upside down. it was astonishing but they said they had done it many many times. For me I had never made it but it made me proud and mind blown.

Then I went to the wooden table to make something, I started getting some wood, then I started making a dagger. I added a handle, a tip and a blade, it was really cool. Even though it didn't shine it was great, I waved it around and showed everyone. Finally discovery end so I put the dagger in my bag and went into class.

The Fantastic Week 1

This week's been fantastic because we have been doing some incredible stuff like bubble art in our buzz groups. Bubble art is a type of art where we have to make a drawing of a circle. Next we add some colours using pastels, but didn't put the colours in the middle because it will not be transparent. It sounded hard, but it was pretty simple once I got the hang of it. 

We were going to make a bubble recipe in our buzz groups, by researching bubble mixtures. We had to find one that was popular, because they would work better. So we searched around the internet looking for a good mixture. When we found a good mixture, Rio made a slide in her google drive which she shared to us. When we got the invitation we all went on and put our recipe on it.

It was fun making the slide, but there were no bubbles so we mixed our bubble mixture following the recipe and made our wands. using pipe cleaners. We made our mixture by adding dishwashing liquid, glucose syrup, water, food colouring and baking soda. For our wands we used pipe cleaners. First we added the dishwashing liquid and then the water. We got some glucose syrup and we slowly dripped it in. It was time for the baking soda. We used it because it would activate the mixture by fizzing it up. Finally we added 5 drops of red food colouring.

 We wrapped the the pipe cleaners around to create the wands. We made a triple bubble wand a giant one and some others too.

 Lastly we went outside and tested them out. I tried the triple one first. It was a success! The bubbles shot out  of my wand like a machine gun. When I tried the giant wand I dipped it in and slowly lifted it out but sadly it popped. So I tried some more until I succeeded and was amazed at the beautiful rainbow bubble I had created, because it was massive.

 The bubble was incredible. It was huge and surrounded me like a large hula hoop and lifted up like a halo over my head. I tried the other wands and created some long and skinny transparent bubbles. I was impressed with another groups huge dragon bubble. The bubble wand was like a portal when the rainbow bubble dragon came out. At the end we packed up the mixture and wands. 

Here are some photos of my group and another group.

last week we did some bubble art with Koka Holly, It was intriguing because we got to go in our buzz groups and we had one peice of paper each. What made it fun was that we could make an enormous bubble by drawing a piece of the bubble in everyone's paper to form a giant one, but we had to make it like a circle and had to add colour because they had rainbow colors in them. We had to colour to the sides and not the middle because then it wouldn't be transparent. It is extremely fun doing it with my buzz group.

Lockdown

Lockdown was fun and relaxing, but it was lonely without my friends. But now lockdown is over it is very exciting because now I can meet up with my friends and learn something new everyday.

It will be very fun to hang out again and to some art, but lockdown was still very fun because I spent more time with my family and we played lots of games and had lots of delicious foods.

But now its level one I can work in my parents shop and earn some money, its like theres no coronavirus at all, but we still have to wash our hands and sanitize them but other then that it feels normal again.

But in other country they have to stay home I'm delighted that new zealand is environment friendly that why we are on level one, it's good to be safe.
