On Thursday 24 November, there was a science fair at school. We went to check it out. There we saw lots of different things like cardboard houses, lava lamps, volcanos, first aid, fibre and fabric, preserving food and making butter in a jar.

Cardboard houses 

We saw some cardboard houses. They were really cool. Their houses had nice designs. We saw that they had toilet paper as insulation and glued it together. They had to cut out and drawed a template, first on the ipads then had to measure them. Then they started building. We took a look at them and we were interested.

Volcanoes from the Kahu’s

At the science fair there were volcanoes, not real volcanoes but made with wood, newspaper and glue. They looked really cool. They had really nice details, the volcanos that the kahu’s made were all New Zealand volcanoes. At the science fair there was a board which they had written. On Friday 25 November there would be an explosion for one  of the volcanoes. It seemed really cool and fun for everyone when they heard the news from the Kahu students.

Preserving food

When we saw the preserved food like cucumbers, lemon, apples, marmalde and eggs. They were really nice. At their preserving section we saw some recipes about how to make them and what are the ingrients of the preserved things. Even some of the food that they were preserving in STEAM was on sale so that people could tell how it tasted and some parent’s tasted and said “it was really nice”. Whatever they were preserving in their STEAM group can last a really long time for like 3-12 months and it would still be fresh and yummy. 

Magnetic fishing

Next we saw magnetic fish which the pukeko class made. They were really fun to play with. Everyone needed to have a turn to get a fish, whoever got the most fish in the bucket wins. And lots of people loved playing this game.
