My Expressive Writing.

Starting here at Saint Pius X Catholic School was a very big thing for me. I’m so happy that I’ve got to know so many people, and to have such wonderful friends. When I leave this school, I’m going to miss everyone, including the teachers.

I’ve made so many memories here at Saint Pius, I’ll never forget my first, which was being welcomed into the school. I’ve made friends with new people, and I’ve also said said goodbye to some,  but the love and support that we have for each other will never end.

I personally know for sure that I’ve learnt to be a good friend and leader here at this school, and being a good friend and leader is an amazing gift.

This school means a lot to me, that’s why I’ll always keep it in my heart. Wherever I go, I’ll always have the school motto to guide me along the way, “Advanced in Faith, Hope & Love”. I’ll treasure  all the memories and the gifts of this school. Finally I am proud to say that Saint Pius X Catholic School, is the best school ever.

Second Holidays of the Year.

Hello everyone,

It is well into the holidays, but the weather is just terrible. Hard winds blowing the trees, and blowing against the windows, (it sounds like they might crack). But the weather doesn't stop me from having a wonderful time during these school holidays. My niece is here from Australia, and having her over makes it more fun.

So far I've been to Rainbows End, and I have been Ice-skating, but I have much more planned out for these holidays, I can't wait. Tomorrow I will be Roller-skating with the whole family, it'll be so much fun. :)

Milk Experience !

CHILLY MILK EXPERIMENT:

PURPOSE:   TO OBSERVE AND RECORD THE CHANGES WHEN DIFFERENT MILK IS PUT IN THE FREEZER.

WHAT YOU NEED: a selection of 3 different type of milk

clear container

WHAT TO DO: Put  an equal volume of each type of milk in a clear container

Place each container in the freezer

Record what happens to each type of milk as it freezes.  Note its colour, texture and shape.

Record the time it takes to each variety to freeze.

Type of milk	What times was it put in and taken out.	what it looked like once it had frozen	Time taken to freeze
Soy Milk	Put in : 1:08pm Checked : 3:15pm Taken out : 9:30am	@ 3:15pm - The milk was frozen, but there was bits of water coming out.	Prediction : 35 Minutes. - 1 Hr 15 Min
Condensed Milk	Put in : 1:08pm Checked : 3:15pm Taken out : 9:30am	@ 3:15pm - The condensed milk was still smooth and runny.	Prediction : 25 Minutes - Didn’t freeze at all.
Almond Milk	Put in : 1:08pm Checked : 3:15pm Taken out : 9:30am	@ 3:15pm - The Almond milk was frozen, completely.	Prediction :  35 Minutes - 1 Hr

Water freezes easily.

Soy Milk : I think there was about 30% of water in this milk. Looking at the frozen product, the milk was frozen, but bits of water was running out.

Condensed Milk : The condensed milk didn’t freeze because the water in the milk was removed.

Almond Milk : I think there was 55% of water in this milk. Because the it froze quickly.

Conclusion :

Overall the liquid with water froze, and became solid.

God Strand!

Sunshine Online.

Today, I used the website, Sunshine Online again. And today I read 3 books, The Bike Race, The Snow Race and The Wishing Stone. I really liked these books. I'm sure I'll read them again tomorrow. I find this website very interesting and I really like the activities.

Reflection on Sunshine Online.

Today I started using a new website called Sunshine Online. This website gives information and helps with our learning. Today for Literacy I used this website. Using this, I read 3 books. 1 book was about baking, another was about the weather, and lastly a book about ninja's. I thought that all those books were really interesting to read. I look forward to using this website again.

Kindness Assembly! :)

On the 23rd of May, we, Room 7, had our virtues assembly. It was the first assembly for the year. Our assembly was based on the virtue ‘Kindness’.

Our assembly was to show and tell the school things about Kindness.

There were 3 groups. Each group presented something about kindness. In the group I was in, we presented two types of poems, an acrostic poem and an original poem written by Leki, and finally a song that Lose and I have composed.

Since our song was so catchy, Mrs Tui decided to teach the school. Now everywhere I go I hear people singing it.

Just because there were only three groups, doesn't mean we didn't give enough information about kindness. I'm sure at the end of our assembly everyone had an understanding of Kindness, and why it is important to use it. I know that I'm going to try and use the virtue of Kindness, towards my learning, and to everyone. :)
