Egg Drop Challenge!!

This week for our Whetu challenge we did an Egg Drop Competition. I worked with Jessica and Mia for this challenge, I chose them because I work really well with them and we had a lot of great plans. When we put our plans together we made a really cool construction. The hardest part was trying to keep the wind from destroying our structure and tipping it over. The easiest part of the challenge was taping things together and blowing up the balloons because we have blown up balloons many times before. Our Egg did crack but overall I think we did really well. We tested all of our creations at the Grand Stand and dropped them off the top step onto the concrete below. To make our creation we used: Heaps of sellotape, 3 Straws, scissors to cut with, Wool, Brown paper bag, 2 Balloons, a clean sock, and News Paper.

Maths Mahi- Week 2- Investigation

This is my Maths Mahi investigation challenge for this week. Here is one of my favourite circle cutouts that I made, this one I made today! I liked doing this challenge because it was fun seeing the different shapes I made once I opened up the circle because we had to fold it in half first. I worked pretty well on this investigation and I'm proud I got it finished!

Matariki Star

This Matariki star. I worked really hard to get this finished because there were only a couple minutes left.  I wasn't rushing my hurrying to finish. I got it done and I'm proud of the work I have accomplished.

Maths Mahi Investigation Challenge.

This week we started something new well actually we started quite a few new things. I am sharing our Maths Mahi investigation today, we had to make different squares and move different rodes (pencils or felts) and make different squares with them. It's a bit hard to explain and this was very very very hard and difficult to do but finally, with a bit of help we think we might have got it, but maybe not.

My Term 2, 2020 Reflection

The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term is the Number of the day. We have been doing this in class every morning and then marking with the teacher to see how many we got right. It tests our knowledge.

Something that has challenged me this term has been the Maths Mystery because something it's really hard to do and I need some help from my friends around me.

The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was probably the Tennis Ball Tower Challenge because it was really funny with the people I was working with. We made a really good tall tower out of newspaper. The tennis ball also stood really well in our tower.

The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was Bean Growing because I loved watching my bean grow every day. I liked watering it but my first bean died and I had to re-plant a new one.

An aim I have for my learning is to work hard and get things done faster but also better than before! I think that I should push myself to sit with different people and also talk less.
