Amazing Wednesdays

Every Wednesday Kea class has Variation Thinker’s Key. It is when we think of many different ideas about something. Variation stands for different or changed. We try to get a new high score each time. This week we thought of things that always go round. Most of them were about planets, but also second clock hands and the asteroid belt.

Last week we did how many different ways we can say a greeting. 

Our highest score is 44. We all thought it great fun and an exciting learning experience.

Kea Scientists

On Monday in the afternoon Kea class did a scientific experiment to see if eggs can float in water. First we wrote our question then our prediction. Immediately after that we wrote the materials. We had salt, glasses, eggs and water. We tested the eggs with normal water. 15 people said it would float and 11 said it would sink including me. For our conclusion we wrote eggs don’t float in water. The next part was with dissolved salt. The egg floated. It was still floating on Tuesday. Even two days later it was still floating. We had a great time.

Our class did fair testing. We were scientists for that bit of the day. Our class experimented to find out if an egg would float in water and in salty water. We predicted what we thought might happen. Logan R and James got to put the eggs in. My prediction was that the egg would sink in water and float in hot salty water and in just salty water. I got all my predictions right.
Sam S

On Monday we did fair testing. In the cold water it sunk. Some people thought it was going to float but it actually sunk. In the cup that had hot water and salt the egg floated.
Holly

We thought about if the egg will float in the water or if it will sink in the water. I thought the egg would sink. It sunk in the water. It floated with salt in the water.

Hats

The Craziest Hat I’ve Ever Seen
My hat is red and black and it has a sword through it. Whenever someone sees me they get confused because it looks as if a sword has gone through my head. I just laugh and laugh and they run away scared. It is made out of metal and steel and it hurts because it’s uncomfortable. I look crazy and funny at the same time. My hat is heavy and it makes me fall over and people laugh at me.

The hat is wacky, crazy, tall and 3D. It has got joker cards glued on the sides of the hat. When you wear it, it’s light and uncomfortable because it’s made from thick paper. On top of the hat there is a fan that spins around. On the bottom of the brim there are playing cards. The sides have a swirly gold pattern. It is the wackiest hat I have ever seen because it’s funny.

French Cricket

On Friday Kea had sport on the court. We played French Cricket.  I was as straight as a stick. And Seb was as quick as a cheetah. Jono was in our team as well as Finn. I tied with Jono two times. Jono and I both won. We all thought it was awesome because it was different.
