Whetu Challenge Week 11

Whetu Challenge Week 11 

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

I created a penguin scene for my egg carton craft.

I used an egg carton, paint, sharpies and coloured paper to create my egg carton creation.

Overall my egg carton creation went to plan but when I stuck the beaks on with my orange paper only one stuck down so I ended up just drawing it with orange felt.

I think this Whetu challenge was really fun and I would love to do something like this again.

My favourite part was painting and putting it all together because I liked seeing it all come together.

I think my egg carton craft is a Supernova!

Maths inv Week 11

This weeks inv was How many hats are lost in a school year. I thought about how many students are in the school, how many terms we were hats for and how many people have lost their hat in Fred the Moth, multiplied it by 3, then multiplied it by all the classes.
My estimate was 128.

Blog Challenge Week 11

This weeks blog challenge was Interior Designing our bedrooms or our classroom. I decided to do my bedroom because I thought it would be really fun and it was. This is my favourite blog challenge so far.
I think my bedroom design is a Supernova!

This weeks maths challenge was called Murder at the Movies. This weeks mystery was a bit harder which I really liked. 
My answer is...

Roll a Drawing

The Workshop I chose to do on Wednesday was Roll a Drawing with Mrs Heaven. My favourite one was my monster which I did first, over all I did four. I did something similar in Whenua but it was a story instead of drawing.
Here is my monster.

Read, Predict and Write Week 11

This week the read and predict was a bit different instead of preticting what would happen next we finished the story. I think my read, predict an write this week is a Supernova.

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 sort of easy but also a lot of fun.

I decided to use the design on the second page of the slides but when I got half way it got a bit complicated so I just finished in my own way without any instructions.

The hardest part was the hardest part was flying my plane in the competition because my plane kept going down before it got to the runway.

During our competition time I managed to score 2 points because it didn't make it on to the runway it just landed beside 1 point mark twice.

Read and Predict Week 10

This weeks read and predict was really fun and I put a lot of effort into it. I really enjoy the read and predicts because they make me really focous on every little detail in the text.
Here are my predictions.

Tennis Ball Tower Challenge

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 Katelyn and Chyrsler.

At first we had trouble with decideing what design to do.  

The best part of our tower was the basket which the tennis ball would sit in, but the base was not successful because we couldn't work out how to make it.

In the end our tower did not succeed but it was still fun to do. I think if we had a little more time it would be a success.

Maths Challenge Week 8

This weeks maths challenge was The Mystery of the Naughty Gnome and I really enjoyed it like I always do. I worked with Katelyn to do my maths challenge. My favourite clue was the last one because I love working out codes and things like that.
