‘‘’What can you tell me about watermelons?’ asked Mrs H.’

It was Monday morning and we  were doing an experiment for writing to see if a watermelon would float.

We were in room 7 at Ohaeawai School THE TOP SENIOR CLASS.

First, we had to remember  what we had already knew and could say about watermelons using senses.

I predicted that the watermelon would float and I was right, it did.
