DON'T BLAME THE BEE BOT or else!

 Today on the 24.8.2020  Honu did a instructional task with bee bots.  We wrote instructions and we made a maze.  Then we copied our instructions into the bee bots manual system for it to follow our maze from start to end.

It seemed easy but it was way harder than I thought.  All I could hear was people saying "The bee bot is broken." or "Koka Joe the bee bot's wheels are crooked!" and "Koka Joe my bee bot is doing different instructions than I gave it."  Then I could hear Koka Joe saying  "It's not broken you just pushed the wrong buttons."  

Then my maze broke because we made it out of blocks and I had to make a new one.  The good thing about making a new track is that Bramm had just finished so I could use the tape for most of the track.  Then it was about to go under all of the desks but I made the bee bot turn around.  I was relieved when I did it first try.

KABOOM

KABOOM

Today my class did a experiment. The materials were flavouring, citric acid, icing sugar, baking soda, paper bag, and teaspoons and popsicle sticks. When we made it we ate some and it exploded in my mouth.  It stung because I have a ulcer in my mouth.  How to make it 1 teaspoon of icing sugar 1/2 flavour 1/2 citric acid 1/4 baking soda.  By the way we made sherbet.  Cash and Cory were in my group to.👍

MARAE

The whole school went to Te poho rawiri marae.  Then we sat down on the dusty floor.  After that Jonas did this maori thing and I don't know what it means though.  Then we got to play outside with the balls and skipping ropes.  BONG BOUNCE BING the handball SHOT up because I did a high mountain.  DING DING DING the bell went off so we had to go inside the marae.  Then we had morning tea then after we ate we played again.  Obviously I played handball for about 50 minutes.  Then we had lunch and I played.  Soon we had dinner but before dinner we had free time.  Then we went to sleep and then in the morning please and some rotations my first rotation was weaving.

MARINE RESERVE

MARINE RESERVE

We finally arrived at the marine reserve.  I jumped into my wetie then we ran down the beach.  Then we hoped in the water.  The water had to get up to your knees before you put your flippers on.  When we started to snorkel I already saw tons of kina.  Then we went a bit deeper and I saw a yellow bumpy warty Nudibranch slug.  I also saw lots of clingfish and lots of crayfish nests.  I also saw 2 reef stars and a octopus leg on it's own.  Then I told fly I was cold so we went back.  When we got back to school we did kapa haka for wai. In 5 years I think everyone should vote for more marine reserves because they are beautiful.

Tairawhiti Environment Centre

7.8.2020

Yes!  The bus stopped we yelled pretty loud when everyone wanted the back seats on the bus.   As soon as we started driving me Neko Bramm and Olly started singing the wheels on the bus song "The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round the wheels on the bus go round and round all day long!" and so on.  

Finally we arrived at the Environment Centre.  When we walked into the back of the Environment Centre the first thing I saw was a huge litter free garden. Then an inviro lover called Kauri told us about all of the enviro stuff while I was daydreaming on all of the spicy yummy purple leaf.   

Then we went inside and there were bean bags with a bunch of plastic bottles inside them.  I didn't realise that the inside was bottles so I jumped on one of them and a bottle went cap first into my my back.  Then to top it off I smacked my head on a brick wall and then felt like I was about to get knocked out.  

Now we can eat the garden plants I went straight for the purple leaf and then Jackson showed me a plant that tastes like lemon.  I'm pretty sure Jackson spewed at home because he ate about 6 of them without flinching.  I was gonna eat beans but I knew I didn't like them. 

 Then we learnt about compost and decomposing and apparently it takes plastic 500 to 1000 years to decompose.  In compost you should do green layer and then brown layer and keep doing it.

My favorite part of the trip was eating the plants.  After the trip I felt like I actually had knowledge about gardening and compost.
