Today Madison, Hannah  and I decided that for passion time we were going to  Waikiwi vet to look at what a vet does for a day. We are going to go there next Tuesday in my mum's car at about 10.20 and are staying there for about a hour. 

 I did the variation key with Alana. Our group had to come up with
more than thirteeen ideas for ways to communicate without talking. We came up with eighteen.


Soon I am going to disect a eye ball!

Plant Biology

This is my " lilly" Diagram.

Today I did plant biology with Darryn. I learnt all the different parts of a flower and then we dissected a Lilly. The different parts of a flower are; Stigma, Style, Anther, Filament, Petal, Leaf, Stem, Ovary and Ovule. The life cycle; The stigma abzorbs the pollen and the pollen travels down the style and fertilizes the Ovules(eggs). Then the pollen comes back up into the Anthers and when the insect or bird comes to get the nectar, they bump the Anthers and get pollen on them. Then the bird or insect flys to another flower and the same thing happens again. Did you know that flowers have different colours and smells because different birds and insects are attracted to different scents and colours?

This is a picture of some pollen stuck to the stigma.

Waihopai river restoration

Today was the planting day that Madison, Me, Kate, Hannah, Anastasia and Pat organised. There were 250 plants to plant. Our group had to be at the dam at 8.30 to unpack all of the plants. There were about 32 kids and 12 adults incuding Darryn, Alana and Katie. We planted the trees so that when the river flooded the plants would trap all the mud and sediment. There were 4 different types of plants; Cabbage Tree, Toytoy, Red Tussock and Flax. Our goup emailed the Southland Times and they came down at 10.30am and interviewed our group and took some pictures of us with the wheelbarrow and spades. They also interveiwed Anastasia. We had to first dig a small hole in the ground, then you put the plant in and stamped it so the groun was firm, then you wrapped the felt blanket around the base of the plant to help stop the weeds, then you poked the bamboo through the holes in the felt and then slild the plastic cover over the bamboo to help protect the plant. It was really fun.

Coconut ice

Today we made another batch of coconut ice except we added and changed a few things like; a pinch of salt and we changed it to pink and white instead of pink and green. My mum didn't come in today so we had to make it by ourselves. For a start we didn't put in enough coconut or icing sugar so our mixture looked like porrige.

Coconut Ice

Today for passion time I am making coconut ice. My Mum is coming in to help. We are doing it to fundraise money so we can adopt an animal through WWF. I am going to adopt a Prezawalski horse, Madison is adopting a Sea Turtle and Hannah C is adopting a Amur Leopard. We are going to try and get at least $150 to get the 50 dollar packs.
