We certainly went passed all of these.
Next time you travel around Wellington,
you'll know what they are called and
where they are :)

Getting ready for Wellington

When we go to Wellington in September, we will be
trying to locate these Wellington icons.  Do you know

NARRATIVE WRITING

Our goal was to write a poem based on a familiar object or phenomenon and use personification to describe it.






What non-living object could you write about?

ROOM 12 SCIENCE



STAGE MAKE UP
A theatre make up artist came in and showed us how to make open wounds!  Well, we actually learned how to make a fake wound with glue, fake blood, noodles, tissues and latex.







EXPLOSION
We got a bottle of coke and dropped about 8
mentos lollies into a bottle. WOOSH!  The coke
fizzed up and exploded out of the bottle.  When
we tasted the coke, it was completely flat. The
mentos reacted with the carbon dioxide in the
coke bottle to cause the explosion.







DISSECTION
It was slimy to touch and really amazing to have a
really close look at.  When cut open a sheep heart
to see if it was similar to a human heart, we
found out that the two hearts were very similar
in appearance and in the way they work.
The main difference was size.  The sheep heart was smaller.
