Why does it rain so much on the West Coast?

 Last week for our science we did a project on why it rains so much on the West Coast. We researched the internet on why it does rain so much here. We also watched some videos on what makes rain. We worked in pairs of 2 or 3 and then we explained why it rains so much here on the West Coast. I worked with Tane and Ryan. Here is our slide on why we think it rains so much on the West Coast.


How to Make Butter

                                    How to Make Butter


To make butter you will need to put straight cream into a jar. Following on by shaking the jar until your cream has turned into whipped cream. After you have shaken your jar enough then you keep shaking until your whipped cream has formed into butter. Then you can add some salt if you want to. Tip into a container and then you will have yourself some butter.

The Farm

 On the 5th of August some of room 5 and 6 went to a farm. The other people of both classes went to West A Maths. We went to the Coates farm. They lived on a deer farm and we learned about deers and deer farms. It was really fun and we got to see something called the crusher which is where they put the deer in to cut their antlers off. We also learned about velvet and we got to try some venison. Two people came and talked to us about deer farms on New Zealand and how we send it out to other countries around the world. Rusty, who was from Silver Fern Farms came and talked to us about transporting venison to the world and talking about the deer farms. Then someone called Mark came and talked to us about velvet and deer antlers. Here are some photos of us on the farm.








Netball

On the 13th of August, last week on Thursday. The ASB Netball team had a game against the staff. The ASB Netball team is our school team that we are doing for a tournament. The score for our game was 12-11. But we think that the younger kids were putting random points on the score so it wasn't the real score. Overall it was really fun. Here are some photos.
