What a Fire Needs

In Room 7 we did a fire experiment. We were finding out what a fire needs.
A fire needs heat, oxygen and fuel.

The Great Candle Experiment

On Wednesday we did the Great Candle Experiment. 

First we poured some water with green food colouring in the plate. Next we lit the candle.

Then we put a jar over the candle to see what happened.

First the candle went out. Then the green water started to rise up in the jar. We could see the smoke floating above the water. It also left a black mark on the top of the jar.

Student Council

Special congratulations to Daniel and Ben from Room 7 who have been elected onto the Student Council this year.
Well done boys!

Kapa Haka

We have been working hard at kapa haka with Matua Whaiteri already this term. We have learnt some new waiata and actions.
We are setting up a performance group this year to perform at the Lower Hutt Polyfest which is really exciting.

Student Council Speeches

Yesterday and today we listened to the speeches for the Student Council. We could vote for one year 4, one year 5 and one year 6 student.

Year 3s have to wait until next year to stand for the council but it was great to be able to hear the speeches and see the process. The year 4s who stood for Council from Room 7 got to speak yesterday and they were feeling proud of their efforts today.
