Planting at Centennial Stream

Planting at Centennial Stream   Ngu mai, haere mai, Yesterday, the Batten Team went down to Centennial Stream and planted shrubs and Toy toy's. Three Park Rangers from the council were there; Sally, Sarah, and Evelyn. All forty something of us ( The rest were still at school ) were split between the Rangers. I was in Sarah's group and my partner was Rubi-lee. Gloves and spades were provided, so that was OK. I planted 1 toy toy, and Rubi-lee planted 1 shrub and a tree.  Rubi-lee got a little dirty, and was helpful. All her swimming muscles paid off, she certainly was very strong!  At the end of the hour-long session, we gave back the gear. The session was fun and dirty. Thank you for reading my Blog, I have enjoyed sharing this with you. Adele

The Spaghetti - Marshmellow Challenge

The Spaghetti - Marshmallow Challenge Kia Ora everyone,  I hope you have enjoyed my blogs so far. This post will be about the science challenge that we did today. The materials were pretty limiting. We only had: 1 meter of string 1 meter of tape 20 spaghetti sticks 1 marshmallow We had to craft a tower in only 18 minutes! The first plan for my team was: Step 1: Make a square base Step 2: Make spikes from all the corners of the base Step 3: Stick the spaghetti sticks into the marshmallow Step 4: stick four spaghetti sticks into the marshmallow, outwards Step 5: around the top of the outwards-pointing sticks, make a square base Step 6: Put a cross connecting the corners of the higher square Unfortunately when it came time for judging, the marshmallow made our tower lean, then fall over! I hope that I have inspired you to create something like this and be creative! Adele P.S: Here is the photos of my partners & the tower!
