Enyahlee Getting Ready For Fiafia

Every Thursdays and Friday  we go to Fiafia practise because it’s the 60th anniversary for the the school. I’m in Bollywood salsa group and our tutors are Mrs Lal and Mrs Khan. I am looking forward to it.

I enjoy going to Fiafia practise because we dance with scarves and ankle bracelets.  The song that we are dancing to is Jai ho and one of the moves to my groups dance is you put both of your hands together to make a pyramid. Our costume is jeans with a shiny colourful long top with some bangles and an necklace and the scarves are colourful and have dots on it.

My favourite part is when we do the aga aga part when we go right back and we pretend to sprinkle raindrops on our head. I feel nervous because Fiafia's coming soon and I am shaking. I hope my group does’t make a mistake for our dance.

Catching Eels

 

We have been reading an article about how to catch eels with a hinaki. This is a net made of wire netting that traps the eel inside. Here is a diagram to show you how it works.

Testing Omaru creek for -turbidity

Testing Omaru Creek for -Turbidity

We are going to find out the turbidity of Omaru creek water.

We are  going to test this by getting 4 samples of water and we are going to see what font size it is.

Resources and equipment: 4 samples of water,string,bucket and 4 jars.

I predict that the culvert font size might be 14 and the font size for the tap might be 24 the sea might be 12 and the bridge might be 9.

I think this because the culvert looked murky  and the bridgewater looked greenish  and the tap looked seethru   and the sea water looked  salty .

Results of my tests

Sea Water	14
Tap water	9
Omaru Creek water by culvert	14
Omaru Creek water by bridge	12

My conclusion (what I found out): I found out that the seawater font size was 14,tap water 9,omaru creek culvert 14,omaru creek bridge 12. The  bridge was the dirtiest water sample because  the catfish might me digging up the mud under the water.

Why I think this  because when we test it I thought that.

Testing the water samples

The water beside the culvert smells like a rotten egg that was suddenly tucked in the bin but nobody bothered to empty the bin.

I think this because:

I think that because the water sample smelled like rotten egg.

Results of my tests

Sea Water	salty
Tap water	fresh
Omaru Creek water by culvert	rotten egg
Omaru Creek water by bridge

My conclusion (what I found out):

The omaru creek water smells like rotten egg and a rubbish bin.

Why I think this is:

Enyahlee Mangere Pools

Our trip to Mangere Pools was a great finish to camp, we were all excited to go. It was a great day for a swim and it was the best day to end it the year 5 and 6  camp. I think it was the best day.

It was time for the race’s to start the year 6 boys slipped the pool after they had their race it was time for the year 6 girls. After the yr6s had gone it was time for the year 5’s, everyone was cheering that  it made some year 5s nervous and it made some of them not wont to do it.The pool that we went in was so cold.

Finally it was free time and that’s when we were allowed to go on the slides. When I was lining up I saw all these camp people going down the slide. It was finally my  turn, my heart was pumping and it made me feel nervous racking,but when my friends that were lining up encouraged I felt so happy that I was'nt nervous any more. When I went on the slide it went slow then a little faster.

When I slipped into the shallow pool I noticed a spa pool that looked like a volcano it had all the detail that is on a volcano. I hopped in it and it made me feel relaxed because it was so hot and it was a good place to sit when someone gets hurt all your done playing with your friends and just want to rest or sit down.
