Science Madness!!!

On Friday 30th June, Week 9 LH6 went to the science roadshow at our school!!. Yep, that's right this year Ormiston Primary School hosted the Science Roadshow in the multi-space!!. There are hosts from LH6 and they are helping other learners with different activities. Today we were observing different science experiments the Science Roadshow leaders had planned. One of the leaders were Shane Kingston. 

There were experiments like the elephant toothpaste which is not actually made for elephant's to brush their teeth, that's just the name of the experiment. Another experiment we did was with liquid nitrogen which is -346°F and dried ice temperature is -109.3°F. They are both REALLY COLD!!. When they react with water it creates a water vapor. Also, the Science Roadshow helped me so I could understand science in a more fun and creative way.

My next steps would be to dig even deeper into the learning and experiments that maybe I could even start an iExplore or learn more about the experiments and share my learning with my family and friends.

THANK YOU!!!

Shooting Galore!!

On Thursday 8th June, the new netball team played against Mission Heights on the Ormiston Primary courts!!.😊💪👍

First, when we started the whole team was VERY nervous!!, but we were alright and ready to play. The players in my team were... Me, Yuvika, Samantha, Komal, Shaval, Karis, Aditi and Sameeha.

Secondly, this was the position I was playing on the day... GA which is goal attack. I was helping Karis shoot and also helping the team defend. The other positions were C-center, WA-wing-attack, WD-wing-defence, GA-goal-attack, GD-goal-defence, GS-goal-shoot, GK-goal-keep.
 Thirdly, I was the captain and Aditi was co-captain, and mostly my job was to play rock, paper, scissors with the other team's captain before we play the game so we can decide who chooses a goal or who starts with the ball. I won the rock, paper, scissors so I chose the ball and the other team chose the goal, they picked the nearest goal where it was sunny and we had to use the goal on the far end and we had a better opportunity to have lots of goals because we had less sun in our eyes while shooting. 

The game was #oresome because we had WON the game!!!. I don't remember the scores or the ending points.

My next steps would be to try and explore more different techniques and tricks so I can become EVEN better at netball than I already am.

                                         THANK YOU!!!

Memorable NYLD!!

On Thursday 25th May the year 6's went to the National Young Leaders Day in Auckland. 

We started NYLD with a chat from Liz and Christian. They introduced themselves and what will be happening today because they were the hosts. Some of the speakers that explained about being an #oresome leader were:

My favorite speaker was Daniel Flynn because he had an inspirational story. He thought of the people in countries with no clean water. He helped them out by making a company called Thank you. The company sells and gives the clean water to countries like India and South Africa. Little kids are dying due to dirty water, so to raise an awareness Daniel Flynn thought of this amazing plan.

What I learned from this experience was that you will always go past no's and other words that will let you down, but you will need support from other people and if you try your hardest your dream will come true. 

My next steps would be to inspire other people or share this with my friends and family. 

THANK YOU!!!
