Rainbow Paper

Title: Rainbow Paper

Aim: To make rainbow paper

Materials: 

-Filter paper

-Water based felt pens

-Cup of water

Steps: 

1. Fill a cup with a tiny amount of water

2. Get a strip of Filter paper and grab two different colours of water based felt pens.

3. 1cm up from the bottom of the strip, draw a light line with pencil across and then draw one circle for each colour anywhere on the line.

4. Dip the bottom of the paper in the water where the circles are on the paper and fold the back of the paper behind the cup so it doesn't fall off.

5. Wait until the colours mix.

Conclusion: I learnt that this is called chromatography and it is used by forensic scientists to see if someone has forged something. I have also learnt that some things can be fun. (However this is not)

My group didn't do so well and so we didn't see what we were supposed to. The colours were supposed to travel up the piece of paper but for my group they didn't. I don't know why but other groups work looked pretty cool.

Peter pan

WALT: I can write a narrative using correct structure

Our group is, Me (Zayd), Amanda, Cody, Levi and Mitchell.

We created Peter Pan with a twist, here it is. What we did to Peter Pan, was that we removed Wendy from the story. We also only put Wendy's younger brother in the story.  Also, Wendy's younger brother dies. And so does Captain Hook.

Here is the cast:
Zayd: Peter Pan
Amanda: A pirate (name is Salina)
Levi: narrator
Mitchell: Captain Hook
Cody: Wendy's younger brother

It's entertaining because it's a knockoff of Peter Pan. If I heard of this, I would watch it because it sounds funny and will probably be funny.

We are going to film on the field and maybe the playground.

Community Projects

At school, I have joined the Christchurch community, which means we have to do something to help Christchurch.

This group is my passion because I want to do something to help Christchurch.

My idea is we can offer to raise money and cook food for Ronald McDonald house.

I think we need to contact someone from Ronald McDonald house who can tell us if we can volunteer or not. We can also ask if anyone has any allergies and if anyone has any ideas for the food. I think we could do this if we do some researching on who to contact.

Reflection Questions for Playback P.E

On Tuesday the 12th of February we had Playback P.E and we played two games. Afterward we had to answer the questions the teacher gave us.

Here they are:

What games did your class play?
Silly bananas and Bench Ball.

What game did you enjoy the most and why?
Silly bananas because it was funny running away from someone and it was exhilarating

What game did you find challenging and why?
Silly bananas because it was hard looking for the person you were supposed to be running away from in a huge crowd.

One of the goals was to listen, what skill do you need to be a good listener?
Patience and Ignoring other people.

What communication skills did I need to have when playing bench ball?
Encouragement and Teamwork.

What skill do I Need to work on for my next lesson?
Ignoring other people.

I also had to choose three commitment goals to work on.

I will show commitment by trying not to think about how bad my day was if it was bad.

I will show commitment by trying to join in the game.

I will show commitment by trying to be positive.

Making movies

At school we had to make a 1 minute movie. Except we couldn't talk. And the only sound allowed was music. We had to go in groups of 3-5 and so I went with Rory and Tyson. I'm not going to share it because it was quite embarrassing but I'll tell you about it.  At the start of the movie one person was walking across the grass and then the other person came into the shot and pushed the first person. The second person then ran away and the first person got up and chased after them.

After everyone finished their 1 minute movies we had to rewrite and record a fairytale with a twisted ending. We had to go in groups of 4-5 for this one though. I went in a group with Mitchell, Levi, Cody and Hunter F. After lots of hard thinking, we chose Peter Pan and we decided who would be who. I would be Peter Pan, Levi would be a narrator, Mitchell would be Captain Hook and because there is a twist, Captain Hook has a pet turtle named Kermit (Hunter) and instead of taking Wendy for an adventure, Peter Pan takes Wendy's little brother for an adventure. We had to write a script, write our story and now we have to practice our lines and our actions. After we have practiced our actions and script, we will start filming as long as everyone is there.
