Inquiry - Beeswax wraps trip

 Hi my fellow readers

Last week on tuesday there were five people who got choosen to go to a trip to go to a school called Waitaha , it was amazing and when we got there we got to learn how to make some beeswax wraps. There were only four people who went tho because one of the five of us weren't there. I will tell you the four people who came it was me ,  An , Phoenix and Tovie. The person who was absent from our group was this girl named Shelby tho. When we got there I saw that most of the doors where locked and my two teachers told me that they locked the door because there were little kids who liked to run out the gate. By the way this school had lots of people who had disabilities and we had to be repectful and treat them as tho they were normal like us. The kids who where really excited and were waving at us when we came in. There where two ladies who came over and introduced themselves and the other children to us. We each told them what our names where and got started on trying to make some beeswax wraps. We got some big brushes and we started brushing some resin , beeswax and coconut oil mixture onto our fabric that we had been given. When we did that step we went over to the iron area and ironed over the baking paper that was iver on top of our fabric. When we where done with that step we grabbed the fabric and started drying and flapping it back and front. When we where done with that we scrunched it up and put it in our palm and saw if it would unfold. When we where done the ladies told us something exciting and it was that we could keep the peice of fabric and take it home to use. I have been using it often in my lunch box and it turns out that it is actually really usefull. The other thing was that the school was trying to raise enough money to make a app for disable people. I hope that they will persude their dream. Please check out their school if you have time and please come back to my blog. Thank you for reading BYE!.

Beeswax poster-Inquiry

 Hello fellow readers

During the week me and my Inquiry have been learning about the pollution in the world and how we should ahve a rubbsih free school. We went onto a trip and found out how to make some beeswax wraps. If you don't know what beeswax wraps are then I will tell you. Beeswax wraps are something that you can use instead of using cling wrap or those small zip lock bags. The reason why we use the beeswax wraps instead of cling wrap of zip lock bags then you are saving the world because something that some people didn't know about zip lock bags and things plastic is that it take's like a billion or trillion years to break down. Unlike that plastic the beeswax wraps are the life saver of this problem because they break down easily and the materials and ingredeints that are used are organic and easy to break down. If you want to know how to make some beeswax wraps then stay here and keep reading because I will tell you how.

Material:
Beeswax bar

Ingredients:
Cotton based fabric
Baking paper
Oven
Oven tray
Vegetable grader
Zig-zaggy scissor

So what you do is you put your oven at 40 degress celcius and then grab your oven tray and put some baking paper on the bottom of the tray and grab your cotton based fabric and grab your zig-zaggy scissors and start cutting the sides of it. Then lay your fabic on the baking paper and and grade some beeswax onto your peice of fabric. When you are done then put your fabric down into the oven and wait for a while. NOTE:Close your windows whilst you are making this because the bees will get attracted to the smell and come into your house. Whne you think your fabric is ready take it out of the oven and pell off the baking paper. Then start flapping it up and down so then it cools down and the other thing you need to know is that you can pinch the corners and it and it won't burn you.

When you think that it is ready scrunch it up until it is very small and place it in your palm and make sure that your palm is flat. If you look at your peice of fabric and see that it starts unfolding then that means that you have put too much beeswax on. Just start flapping it again and it should stay folded in the end. If your hands are sticky from doing the cooking then grab some coconut oil and rub it through your hands and it works like magic. The stickyness is gone and your hands are nice and smooth again.

Inquiry - Waste sorting activity

Hey my fellow readers

I am back and I have something new to post on my blog today. Today in inquiry we learned about recycling and where we put certain rubbish in what bin. Many of the rubbish that we have go in the yellow rubbish and are reuseable. We also learned about the numbers on the plastic/cans etc. We can only recycle the numbers 1 and 2 and the rest of the numbers are not allowed to be recycled.If you think that I have mis-placed any of the items than let me know that down in the comments. Something I found hard while doing this was trying to remeber which one goes in which rubbish. Something I found easy was putting them in the slots that we are supposed to put them in. In the comments write down if you have done something like this before. Please come back and check out more of my work BYE!.

Inquiry- To refuse Single use plastic

Bonjour my fellow readers

Today in inquiry we have been learning about the 4 r's which are Refuse , Reduce , Reuse and Recycle. We are learning about how there are many plastic rubbish in the world and how the plastic is getting smaller and smaller and that the sea creatures eat the small bits of plastic and that plastic ends up in the food that we eat. Our activity that we did for this was that we had to make a persuasive poster to convince people to stop using plastic and to recycle the pastic that they use. Something that I found hard was trying to find some information of my own and also trying to put on as least information as possible on my poster. Something I found easy was listing down my reasons and making up a cool catchy frase. Hope you like the poster that I have made and make sure to comment down bellow and recycle and pick up any rubbish you see on the floor. Make sure to check out my blog.

Art - Calender art

 Aloha my fellow readers

During this month and many months before me and my hub have been sketching and doing drafts for our end of year calender art. My name has a mix of my middle name. In mine I have gotten some ideas from my friends crate that has some planets on it. The little ghost thingy near the T it a pug dressed up in a ghost costume (for halloween) I thought that it could represent my favourite time of year (totally). Something that I found hard doing was trying not to copy my friends. My friends street art names where pretty cool and they had cool designs too but I had faith in my own self and did my own idea's. If you would like to check them out then I will put some photos of them down bellow. Something I found hard was trying to focus on my work because while I was doing my work I really felt like giving up but I was persistant and kept continueing. Something that I found easy was colouring in my letters with pastel. If you have done something like this than write that down in the comments and if you have anything else to say than write that down in the comments too. BYE!

Phonics - Google slides DLO

Fakalofa atu my fellow readers

During this year in my phonics group we have been learning about Verbs , Adjectives etc. It has been very challenging but fun to be learning about those. We have done many sheets based on the Adjectives , verbs and nouns (so on). In this slide that I have made I have descirbed in my own words what an Adjective is and how you can use it. This is in my own words by the way and I have not goten anything from online. If you know something else about Adjectives and stuff then right some facts about them down in the comments bellow. Also what I found easy during phonics leassons was writing down my answers and thinking of my own idea's. Something that I kind of found hard doing during phonics was trying to listen to what my current teacher was saying.Something I found hard during making the slides was trying to think of my own ideas. Something I found easy during making the slides was writing down my information and finding some cool GIF'S and IMAGES that I could use. Hope you like my slides make sure to come back on whenever you can. BYE!
