learning about matariki and string knots and.......stuff

today me and my class went to a matariki learning thing and we learnt lots first the helpers came aruond and handed us some bits of string.then we got tought how to make a granny knot it was easy all you have to do is get the two ends and put them together and wrap them around your index finger and put the end through the middle and there you have it a granny knot after that we got the two sides and put them inbetween our index finger and your thumb and do it again and then get your index finger and put it under the string on your thumb and drag it to your pinky on the other hand and the same with the  other side.then i cant remember the other steps after that we had to have morning tea when we came back she ended up with her fingers in a little of a tangle then we asked her  how to do it and it was a little bit tricky but we managed to do it well all but me i found it really tricky i couldnt really do the third step my fingers were to long to do it soon after that we got told the true story of matiriki i cant remember it but i know there actually is 9 stars that are visible theres actually billions. tell me what you know about matariki in the comments

the extreme learning in kakapo


Related imagehi guys as you can see i have made a cool looking sunflower im just joking this is a one off the net but i couldn't get a proper photo off it  it was up on a wall. anyway on to the flower for the pedals we got paper and just painted it with pure yellow paint and then waited for that to dry. and then most off us  drew lines but i didn't i just went crazy with pedals. and then for the middle we got a brown bit off paper and painted a black circle. and then we waited for it to dry and then we got some rolled up toilet paper rolls and dipped them in paint .and then we spotted the center with the black and white paint.

chemistry is a big thing on this earth because all of the chemicals like H20 and water those two create clouds.  the warm earths crust  and water creates fog.  chemical changes and physical changes a physical change is just a change in looks for example popcorn there's a layer on the out side and it obliterates but a chemical change is a change in chemicals like wood cause it turns from a mass to little particles. CHEMISTRY IS SO FUN!!!.> tell me what you know about chemistry (=
