Science Roadshow!

Hi!

Today we went to the fontera science roadshow!
We watched a presentation on planet earth which was informative and it taught us about matter and how matter cycles. After that we got to play with the exhibits there was a black hole exhibit where you got to watch how a black hole works by experimenting with a marble and a funnel and there was an experiment where you had to find the right key for the lock using the clues and the way things fit together. After we played with the exhibits we watched another show about sound waves and the human hearing range!

My favourite part was experimenting with the mirrors and watching the different shapes form in the mirror.
Please leave your comments on your favourite part and your opinions on the science roadshow!

Balloons over Waikato 2009

Recently at Waikato uni the balloons over Waikato took place it was fun and exciting as the evening started with well known bands playing their hearts out and then a few games to be played. The balloons started glowing at about 8:00. There was music and different balloons lighting up at different times. After the balloon festival their was a series of fireworks which were colourful and loud!!!!
Overall i enjoyed the whole festival and my favourite balloon was the ladybird because of the bold colours and the happy expression on its face!!!

If you went please leave comments on your favourite balloons!!!












The whole series of balloons,

Andy Warhol

In class we have to research one of our favourite artists and draw a self portrait using their style.
Andy Warhol is one of my favourite artists because he has some interesting paintings that are creative and colorful!!
Andy Warhol was the founder of Pop Art Movement and he was one of the most famous artists of the 1960's he was a filmmaker a print maker and a painter!!He turned stars into art and he always wanted to be famous ever since being a little boy, He would say: "I wanted to be art businessman or a business artist. Being good at business is the most fascinating kind of art."

I love Andy Warhol's art because it is creative,interesting and i enjoy watching his different art styles. I like the way he has taken modern items like tomato soup and turned it a beautiful piece of art!!!!

This is his most famous piece of art The Can Of Soup

This website has some really cool information on Andy Warhol check it out!!
