Creative Kidd-li-winks

We have been learning how to make pom poms. To make a pom pom we have needed to show lots of determination. We looked in Pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/ for some ideas and inspiration. Pinterest is a place where you can find lots of ideas to make and create. 

We planned what we wanted to create and began creating. Sometimes our plans worked perfectly and sometimes we needed to make changes to our plans because things didn't work out as expected. 

The Kidd-li-winks have shown so much creativity and have problem- solved when ideas haven't worked. Look at some of the amazing creations.

Camp Reflection Logan

Something that challenged me was the Massey Ferguson because I did not know what a Massey Ferguson was I thought it was a person. I really enjoyed the water slide because it was super fast. Something that challenged me was archery because I did not know how to use a bow and arrow.i lent how to move a raft .I had to show determination in the burma trail with a blindfold because I could not see a thing

Camp Reflection Neesha

Puff puff running towards the picnic tables I slid under. Ready for the next clue Sharie snatched an envelope and ripped it open.It said find a giant bite in the hills.Pit pat pit pat we ran down the ramp
 and opened the gate. Running down the grass we saw a colossal bite in the hillside gleaming in the sun. Yes we've done that now whats next? George grabbed another clue. it said find the wood pile and count how many there are and oh my gosh that took  a long time.Next Logan opened a  clue it was find  a walnut shell and make it  float across pool without using your hands.But guess what I almost fell IN!!! The Amazing Race was a challenge and lots of fun. 

Camp Reflection Sharie

The archery was so fun I loved it. The water slide was awesome and I loved the pool. I love the food and the challenges.

Camp Reflection George

I really loved the Amazing Race because when I hopped on the raft it went back and forward and the raft wobbled like jelly I had to stay in the middle to make the raft go steady. I learned how to show determination I had to work together as a group when we had to push the water to make the wallnut shell go to the other side of the pool. Camp was so fun.

Water Slide

The water slide was a real favourite at camp. It was sooo  much fun even the teachers couldn't resist giving it a go. Well done to all children who went out of their comfort zone to go down the water slide. Ahhhhhhhhh!

The children got more and more confident and went flying through the air like Superman and crashing into the rugby pads...sometimes bowling over the parents. We all loved it lots. Can you see the horror and excitement in our faces all at the same time?

Can you spot the only crash on the water slide? Who was it?

Working Together

The camp challenges have begun in Room 8. 

The challenge was to work together to create something connected to camp or our group name. 

We got points for working together well, being encouraging to our team mates, compromising and making something creative.

Capacity learning

We are learning about capacity

Our challenge was to work out how many milliliters were in each container

We knew 

1 cup = 250mLs 

1/2 cup = 125 mLs

15 mLs = tablespoon

5 mLs = teaspoon

 We used the measuring equipment to add up amounts until the container was full. 

Jerome and Toby problem solved and made a funnel out of paper
to get the beans in a sauce bottle to measure it. 

The Ovals were scientists with some blood. They had blood and had to subtract mLs of blood. They used eye droppers to measure the mLs. 

Henrietta solved 32 divided by 4 by
finding half of 32 and then half of 16
=8. 

Caitlyn has 32mLs to divide into
4 containers. She tried 6+6+6+6 and
then added 2 more to each container
32 divided by 4=8

The Pentagons and Crescents had some alien slime that they needed to divide into different containers. They had to count the mLs carefully to make sure the same amount of slime was in each container. 

Faith calculating 27 mLs shared
into 3 containers

Mya and Sharie measuring in mLs

Emma showing determination
to solve 24mLs shared into
4 containers. She tried 5 in each
container and then added 1 more.

The Kidd-li-winks made up their own potions

The potions would explode if
-Any one of the ingredients was 100 mLs
-If the whole potion was not exactly 600 mLs
-If there were not 6 ingredients
-If the ingredients were not measured accurately
