Chocolate Marshmallow - Earth Layers

 

Lately for Inquiry with Urmi, we have been learning about space and the earth layers.

We used this as an example.

It's a marshmallow with an m&m in it and it's covered in melted chocolate.

The melted chocolate represented the crust and we made cracks in it by squishing it a bit to make it look like the tectonic plates.

The marshmallow represented the mantle, the shell of the m&m is supposed to be the outer-core and the chocolate of the m&m is supposed to be the inner-core.

Bridle Path Walk

Last term, Tawhirimatea went to walk the Bridle Path so we could know how the Europeans felt when they had to walk. On the bus ride I think I sat with Kora. I was really excited because it seemed interesting to know how it felt to walk over it. At the start, we had to walk up a street and it was really steep. In my opinion it was harder than the walk itself. That may sound crazy but that's what I remember.

Lego Spaceship for Inquiry

Hi! Today for Inquiry we got to make a Lego spaceship! We could make it anything we wanted without pictures because we had to use our imagination. I worked with Kora and Lyshia and we made this all together! So, Lyshia did all the building herself while Kora and I did all the finding so we could find the best pieces for the idea Lyshia had in mind.

Overall, I really enjoyed making it and I had a lot of fun!
