Whetu Challenge

EGG CARTON CREATION

This week for our Whetu Challenge we created something using egg cartons.

For the Egg Carton Creation I made Penguins in the Arctic. It was very fun and I would like to do something similar. It was a bit challenging but still easy because mine was simple but still was detailed. To make it I used 3 Egg Carton spaces, Egg Carton lid, Googly Eyes, Orange paper, Black paint, White paint & Hot Glue. My creation turned out just as I planned and I am really happy with how it turned out.

Blog Challenge - Week 11

This week for the Blog Challenge we did Interior Designing. I could either create my own Bedroom or Classroom so I decided to do the Bedroom. I think it was very fun this week but all the other weeks were still fun too. I also added my Bitmoji onto it so it looked like I was in my room. Here is my room. 

Maths Mystery - Week 11

This week the Maths Mystery was called Murder at the Movies.  It was really fun this week because it was a bit more challenging than the last one! I just finished in time today so I feel really good about getting it done! I hope that I get pulled out on Friday. I have gotten pulled out twice before so I hope that I can be pulled out again. Here is my answer...

Roll-a-drawing

On Wednesday I did an activity with Mrs Heaven called Roll-a-drawing. Roll-a-drawing is a game where you roll the dice and match it up with either a Body, Arms & Legs, Hair & Eyes. 

My favourite was the Spider because it turned out really well and also looked cute. I named my spider Gus and I think it suits him. 

Read, Predict & Write - Week 11

This week instead of doing a Read & Predict I did a Read, Predict & Write. It was really fun this week and I want to do something similar next week.

 

Whetu Challenge - Week 10

Whetu Challenge - Paper Planes

Today our challenge was to design an accurate paper plane. We were given a draft piece of paper to trial and a good piece to use once we had tested the accuracy of it.

Before we started I thought this challenge was going to be a little bit tricky because getting Paper Planes very accurate and nicely made so takes some resilience.

I decided to use the design Javelin as my draft but then it didn't work so I tried the Standard, but then that didn't work! So I decided to do the Paper Plane my Dad taught me to do and it was similar to the Standard but it doesn't use some of the steps in it.

The hardest part was getting the Paper Plane design to work and fly accurately.

During our competition time I managed to score on the runway twice but I never got into the Hangar.

Read & Predict - Week 10

This week for the Read and Predict I could either do the Read and Predict the teachers made up or my own for the book I am reading. I chose to do the one the Teachers made because I have almost finished the book. Here is my Prediction

Math Mystery - Week 10

This week the mystery was called The missing Pencil Cases Mystery. I think it was very fun this week. I hope I got the answer right. It was Ruby.

Blog Challenge - Week 10

The Blog Challenge this week was to design a new birthday card design for Mr Fraser & Miss Coles. My card is suited to kids all ages and for boys and girls. I think I did really well with this & I hope to do something similar! I think that my card is a Supernova!

Maths Mystery - Week 9

This week for the Maths Mystery it was called The Pancake Problem. It was really fun and It sounded delicious too! It got a bit hard in some parts but I got the answer in the end. Here is the answer!

Prediction - Week 9

This week for the predictions it was about a Farmhand called Danny. He was meant to lock the Barn door but he didn't and I have predicted what I think will happen next! Here is my Prediction.

Blog Challenge - Week 9

This week for the Blog Challenge it was In Ten Years... I think it was really fun this week. In 2030 I will be 19. I really liked this activity & it would be cool if we could do more like this. Here is my work. I think it is a Supernova!                                     
                                                                                                       

Tennis Ball Tower Challenge Week 8

Tennis Ball Tower Challenge

Today for our Whetu Challenge we worked in a group to build a tower out of newspaper, 2 straws and sellotape. We needed to make our tower strong enough to hold a tennis ball and be able to stand alone (not leaning on anything or needing support).

Today I worked with Olivia & Chrysler on the Tennis Ball Challenge.

Our Tower wasn't successful apart from the basket.

I think our Tower would have been successful if we took some time to plan it out a bit more, make it tidier and stronger.

In the end I think we needed a bit more time and a different design.
I think the Tennis Ball could have stayed in if we had a straighter & more stronger design.

Maths Challenge week 8

This week our Maths challenge was called The Mystery Of The Naughty Gnome. It was very fun and I worked with Olivia. This week it was a bit more challenging than last week so it took a bit longer. I really like these math challenges that we have been doing! Here is my answer!

Prediction week 8

This week I did a prediction but I didn't do it about the book I am reading now. I think the text was really cool and if I could I would want to hear more about it! Here is my prediction. I hope they come true!

Blog Challenge week 8

This week for the Blog Challenge we had a template to fill in about our pet! I did mine about our Cat Trembles. I changed the colours and font colours around a bit to make it look a bit cooler. Trembles loves playing in boxes and paper bags, chasing string and most especially sleeping on our beds! I think Trembles is the perfect cat and she is so cute, cuddly & kind. I think my Blog Challenge this week is a Supernova. Here is my challenge.
