Instructions to make a Spider

 How To Make A Spider Drink

you will need -

• spoons
• icecream
• fizzy drinks
• cups
• straws
• marker

1) Use the markers to draw on the cups. I drew characters and a scene from Charlotte's Web as it's the book we are reading.

2) Then put the icecream in the cup.

3) Then pur your fizzy drink on top of the icecream. Be careful that the bubbles don't overflow.

4) Put your straws and spoons into your cup.

5)Eat, drink and enjoy your spider.

Observations from making A Spider -

• first thing I noticed is that the bubbles rose
• the drink and icecream seperate
• if you stir the mixture together the icecream and drink join together, but if you leave it to sit, the drink seperates again and all the colour goes to the top with the icecream!
• I only got a lot of bubbles in the coke spider
• The texture of the coke bubbles was very light but they had the full taste of coke.

My home learning

 Because of my broken leg, I have been doing some learning at home.

Some of the things I've been doing are

• handwriting,
• Early Words
• reading
• maths
• charlottes web
• times tables
• class art work
• m&m pictograph 

Julie has set me handwriting every day. 

I think I have gotten faster at writing and I'm still working on my neatness.

I've been working on my Early Words programme. I do some with Julie and then some with Mum later in the day. 

I have read some books with my Mum and Julie. And Mia has been reading to me also. My class is reading Charlottes Web, so I have this at home also to keep up with  the story. 

I had to do an acrostic poem about a character from Charlottes Web. I chose Templeton the rat. I'm so proud of my poster!!

I loved having Trelise over a couple of times to work with. We got to play games and do activities together.

I did an m&m pictograph. I had to count each colour in 3 packets and make graphs for them. Then we used all that data to make an overall graph and found out that blue was the most popular colour. 

                                                    

                                                    

                                                    

                                                    

                                                    

     

My holiday adventure

 In the January holidays I broke my femur while I was riding my motorbike. The femur is the bone at the top of your thigh.

My Dad and Mia took me to the hospital in Greymouth.  They took me into a room and I had to wait for the Doctors. Then I had an x-ray, and got some injections to get rid of the pain. Then all the Doctors decided to transfer me to Christchurch. They put me in the ambulance to take me to the airfield, then transferred me into the plane. I got flown to Christchurch, then put in another ambulance and taken to the hospital. Another needle in the ambulance made me talk a lot!

Then I sat in a weird hospital bed, and slept for a bit. They moved me to a room in the middle of the night. 
They put me into a bed that had bandages holding my leg up in the air. I got to watch TV in this room. The Doctors came in and they told me I would be having surgery soon. A guy came in and took me in to the room - he has the same birthday as me!

Then they gave me the weird helium stuff and I fell asleep while they did the surgery. I am getting around on crutches and in a wheelchair because I can't put any weight on my leg.

So now I have a plate and screws holding my leg together. This Friday I am getting an x-ray, then I will go to Christchurch next week to see when I'll be able to start walking on my leg again. And later in the year, I need to have another operation to get the plate taken out. 

This was bad summer holiday journey!!

Summer Learning Journey

 Today in class we signed up for the Summer Learning Journey to help us keep up with our learning over the holidays - if we don't keep it up we can go down over the holidays. 

I created a pyramid, farmer art and watermelon art. To create these we looked at the original and copied the colours.
