Father’s Day Breakfast!

On Sunday September 5th it was a very special day. It was Father’s Day. For Father’s Day my mum, sister and I woke up at about 7:00 am to cook breakfast for my Dad & ourselves. For breakfast I cooked some scrambled eggs & bacon, my mum cooked some hash browns & baked beans & my sister did some toast for the side. The night before Father’s Day my mum actually cooked some homemade muesli to have with some berrie yoghurt & my sister & her made some shortbread biscuits. We made my Dad a hot tea & my Dad also had some of his homemade lemon juice that he made a couple days before Fathers Day to go with his delicious breakfast. Everyone & especially my Dad said he had a wonderful and delicious breakfast & all our stomach’s were very full. What did you & your family do for Father’s Day?

Have a Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s!!

The Great Marble Ramp Challenge 2021

Kia ora, in Te Ngahere we have been making  Marble Ramps. We had to create a marble ramp for a marble to travel and stop exactly at 1.1 metres or 110cm from the end of our ramp. We were creating these ramps because we have a Science Fair coming up and we are preparing for the Science Fair. We were also creating these ramps to have a challenge to see what group can make the best ramp that can make the marble stop at exactly 1.1 metres. We were also using the scientific method to make sure we follow all of the steps so our ramp is successful.To make these ramps we worked in groups of two or three. My group was Jade.R and Ricky-May. On competition day we weren’t  allowed to touch our ramps. On competition day someone else was testing our ramp and we got to test someone else's ramp. I really enjoyed making these marble ramps because my group and I worked well together and we tried our best to make a creative and successful marble ramp. 

A variable that my group changed was the angle that the ramp was on. We changed the angle because we found out that when the angle is lower it goes faster and when the angle is higher it goes slower because it drops and bounces and sort of loses its momentum. Have you ever made a marble ramp before? 

Here is my marble ramp reflection:
