We had science yesterday morning. We had science with Mr sterling. We had freezing ice. The dry Ice could burn you but luckily no one got burnt. In our group we had three people. I had Josiah and Jared in my group. Mr Sterling put his goggles on we put our goggles on too. Jared got the dry ice it was freezing. Mr Sterling came and poured the warm water in the big cup. I tipped the dry ice into the cup. I tipped in some of the warm water and it smoked. Jared got more dry ice.

It was science time and the man came and he said

“Help me to put this on and we said “ok”.

and we helped him. He explained to us what to do and he said “Put on your protective glasses and then he put us into three groups. Tash, Brittany and I were in a group. I got the dry ice. Tash put the ice into the cup and then I put in the warm water.

Pacifica Celebrations 2009

In term one we found out about the different cultures represented in our school and in our community. Wow, there were lots. We had a visit to the museum to look at the treasures of the Maori tribes represented in our district. We had visitors come in and share their unique cultures with us. At the end we had a big celebration and an umu. An umu is a way of cooking food similar to a hangi.

Last Friday  National Chin day was celebrated in Nelson. Some children in our class went. Here are their stories and songs.

In Chin State sometimes my dad would catch a mouse. Sometimes we'd cook them or we put them in  the fire. When I was a baby my dad caught a mouse  and my mum cooked it for my family and me too.We have lots of fruit in Chin and we have  lots of flowers too. My mum would sell the  flowers. In Chin State we didn't have a t.v, but my grandfather and my grandma they had a t.v so we could watch it.
