On Monday the 23/9/19 our new Kahuis got finished.There are three of them at the moment there are going to be five when there are more kids at Hornby high.The three that are built they are still putting the finishing touch's in.But the people that are put the finishing touch's in are allowing us to work in them well they finish. The three Kahuis are called Mohua, Riroriro, and Tieke. These magnificent buildings toke two years to build and you can tell that they toke that long because it looks so modern.
When I walked into the new buildings I saw lots of colour, furniture, it was still in a faze where its still having its finishing touch's. The walls a roof have this material in it that makes sound quieter. It has three TV's that have colour changing lights on the back of them.
When I walked into the new buildings I thought that these buildings where amazing because it has lots of colour, and space.

water cycle results
My Findings for the water cycle experiment
The Water Cycle: Bag 1
|
CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2
Acid
|
Desert Water Cycle
Bag 3
| |
Does it cycle?
| 2 | 2 | |
Amount of Water
| 2 | 2 | |
Acidity
| 1 | 1 |
Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none
2 = small
3 = large
With bag one there was a small amount of cycling.
With bag 1 there was a small amount of water left over.
With bag two there was a small amount of cycling.
With bag two there was a small amount of water left over.
The normal water cycle had smaller drop lets then the water cycle with acid.
So in conclusion the water cycle had more drop lets but scored the same as the water cycle with out acid.
