For Inquiry we have been making soap. Our product was called Green Grayson I worked with My friends Sonny and Lachlan. We tested 3 things we tested dirty hands The soap that we created and the store bought soap we found out that the store bought soap had more bacteria than our soap. My hypothesis was that the store bought soap was better but I was wrong our soap was better. We used Vinegar which was $17.50 Water Olive oil which was $44.51 and coconut oil which was $12.70.
For this last term we have been doing poetry every week on Monday. We have been doing all different types of poems from our own ones to onomatopoeia. My favourite poem is the biopoem because it shows stuff about me. LINK
Last Friday we went on a skiing/Snowboarding trip at Mount Hutt. We got to choose what we wanted to do I chose snowboarding.
I had never been up at Mount Hutt before so I went into the beginner group. In the beginner group we learnt how to stop and how to slow down. To stop you have your board to the side and push your feet at the sky. To slow down it is basically the same thing but you do it slower. On the way there I went in a van with my friends it took about 2 hours to get there overall it was a fun trip. If I had to change anything it would be that I don’t go straight down the hill and that I would progress my way down. I showed resilience and success by going up the mountain even when it was hard.
The last 3 weeks we have been doing a Cantamath projects and participating in team competitions. Cantamath is a math competition where you can enter things into different categories. You can make a poster, a project. Some people even make stuff with popsicle sticks. I chose to make a poster. I made one to show what the best angle to shoot a basketball at. I have learnt more about angles by just looking at it and knowing what acute and obtuse angles were. I showed resilience and success when I completed the poster after nearly giving up.
