Last Wednesday we went up to the rsa to help out with cleaning, everyone was designated jobs and I volunteered to do the top bathrooms and the dining room. Jerome and Paiti joined a long to help out, the first thing I did was grab a spray not sure which one and a pink rag and I wiped the toilet seats and then refilled the toilet roll  after that I emptied the rubbish bins. Paiti and Jerome went to grab the bucket and the mop, while I emptied and refilled it. Paiti and jerome and mopped the toilet floors taking turns. We grabbed a fresh bucket and a fresh mop so we could clean the dining floors, Jerome started it off and I finished it while they were put to work on somewhere else as  we had almost finished.

This Wednesday Whaea Jaimie had put me, Carrda and Maya-Maria on pulling out the crosses. In the beginning we were picking all of them up together however I thought it would be more effective to work in rows as there were three rows of crosses and poppies. We finished quite early so we decided to help out in the shed. Me, Carrda and Maya-Maria put the crosses on top of each other to make more space ( with he help of Whaea Jaimie ). We then sweeped and undecorated a decoration. Taking every leaf and staple off and putting them in their right places.

we took a break so I decided to go help Whaea Jaimie in the kitchen along with Carrda, I wiped the shelves while Carrda emptied the fryer. I helped him scrape off the dirt that was growing and with hat we finished for the day!

Things I done well:

• Answering quickly
• pre-writing my questions and answers
• using my body language

What could’ve made my interview better:

• Staying composed and holding my laughter
• pre-learning the answers and questions so I could hold eye contact longer.
• using more expression
• if I was in a better interviewing enviroment

One afternoon while i  was scrolling through tiktok on my bed and i came across a video about an expirement , funnily the day after we were asked for an idea for our science fair project so i chose what i seen in that tiktok. I had set my mind on elephant toothpaste. I looked up and wrote down the ingredients and method how to do it. months had flown by like nothing and it was time for me to test outmy theory with tria and error.

Usually we would have multiple partners for our projects but i couldnt find anyone to do it with , so i alone continued with the experiment. I combined things you could easily find from home like dish washing liquid , dry yeast ect.

The results were four colourful thick textured liquid that filled up the test tubes. One purple which was more toothpaste like then the rest, pink one which was more bubbly and bigger than the rest.
