Wonderful Wheels Day.

What a great time everyone had!

Yeast Experiments.

Our question was...

"How does sugar affect the growth of water?"

We had two bottles, warm water, sugar, and yeast.

We mixed the ingredients and waited to see what would happen.

We didn't have to wait long.

Within four minutes our mixture was bubbling and foaming.

Our second bottle had warm water, yeast but no sugar.

This one had a small amount of foaming.

We then made up another bottle and put in warm water, yeast, and sugar.

We put a balloon over the top and waited.

The balloon was soon filling up with gas and some of the foaming mixture.

Yoghurt Making.

We made a batch of plain yoghurt.

We used milk powder with a good bacteria in it to make our yoghurt.

We put it into our yoghurt container which had hot water in.

We left it overnight so the bacteria could get to work.

We made a thick creamy plain yoghurt.

We tasted it...it was tangy but nice (to most of us!)

Black Out Day!

What a great 'Black Out' Day we had at school on Friday.

I think the All Blacks knew that we were supporting them for their game

early this morning...and what a great result. 

Here we are on the court forming our A and B!

Room 8 Assembly

What a great assembly we had on Friday afternoon.

Well done Room 8.

We shared some of our results from our topic.
