About Me

Hi, My name is Sam and I am a Year 5 student at Mt Carmel School. I wanted to participate in the Summer Blogging as I was with my mum when Rachel came to talk to her class. I asked my mum if I can join. Finally she agrees and I am very keen to journey through with so many children around New Zealand.

Muffin Magic

Greasy pies and soggy sandwiches.
‘ I have a few announcement to make’, Mr Drake said, reading from the morning notices.‘ Our tuck shop lady, Mrs Peabody, fell down some stairs last night and was rushed to the hospital with a broken arm and leg. That means there will be no more hot soup or home baking for the next few months’. Room Fourteen groaned. We’ll make a get well card for her during art this afternoon’, Mr Drake said, glaring at everyone over the top of his glasses. ‘Since you are all concerned about her health and not about your own stomachs.’ Kenneth turned around and whispered to Mark. ‘ No hot soup and cake! They were the only decent things in the tuck shop. Everything else is greasy and soggy’.

Sinking and Floating

We have been looking at why things sink and float.
It is amazing what happens in nature.
This week we checked our prior knowledge, you know, what I already have in my mind.
Our next step was to make some predictions about why a rock sinks , bone floats, why a ten ton ship doesn’t sink and a ten ton ship submarine does.
We tested a solid ball, spoons inside a bag, little rocks, a bead, clay, paper towel, a bark and a spoon.
I wondered what other mystery will we learn about in our science next week.

Mana Polynesia!

In St Pius x school hall there was a sign in the hall and it said “MANA.”, I and all the St Pius children and principal sat down. Saw the MANA sign I wondered what was that word. Next minute the Polynesian show was about to start then this man had north American Indian clothes it was interesting because there were 7 hula-hoops in front of him i was so thrilled to see him dance to a south American Indian dance he said he was going to do the actions to the song so we can understand and we did and it was a beautiful song and i loved it.The next thing he was about to do is to do creatures and thing’s with the hula-hoop we were all shouting because it was so fascinating how he does his moves and it was completely amazing to see him do all these stuff and he is old.He is lucky and i know he will be blessed with holy spirit.Next he was about to change in front and we were like uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! and then we were all laughing.
