My favourite moment

Hi blogger, a couple of termes ago we created a tent using a different variety of materials .

The materials we used where

Tooth picks
modelling clay /colour/ white
and thick white cardboard

We got to talk to a buddy about what shapes we could make a stable tent

out of . Sometimes the tent kept falling but we tried our hardest make the tent stable.

We tried different shapes of making it stick and join togthere .

I found moulding the clay hard and trying to make it stable because I didn't use enough clay at the start.

I found trying different shapes to make a tent was a bit of a mess.

I had fun moulding the clay into different sizes of balls fun and cool

i liked trying my hardest to and challenging myself to design a stable tent .\

I found out that trying different shapes was easier then trying the same design again and again .

I used triangles ,squares and circles .

I liked designing my creation.

Production

Our school production this year was Pasifica Peter Pan (a twist on an old classic). We started rehearsing early last term and presented to an audience last week, with three performances (two in the evening and one Friday matinee show). Our song at the end was one of our Jump Jam songs. The senior syndicate had major and minor roles, both on stage and behind the scenes. The rest of the school performed cultural dances from around the Pacific. Shows were sold out and audiences were treated to a spectacular performance. An amazing end result from all our hard work! Well done!

In the paper circuit making we had to try make a light using and LED battery to make a LED light bulb flash or turn on. After trying that out, we used different materials that have electricity to make a circuit. Some of the materials we used were LED batteries and light bulbs , tinfoil, split pins and paper clips. Our challenge was to make a switch to turn our LED light bulb and turn it off again. The thing that I found difficult was trying to get the circuit stable and show perseverance. The next place I went to was making Geo boards. The materials we used were nails, wood and elastic strings. The Geo board challenge was using measurement to create, using tools to put things together and also taking turns and sharing. The thing I found difficult were nailing the nails in because I ...

Summer learning (week 1/ Day 1)

Today's activity for the summer learning journey is finding out three top facts about New Zealand on the Tourism New Zealand site. My first facts about New Zealand is, New Zealand is part of the pacific rim of fire and it's most active volcano is Mount Ruapehu , which is found in the middle of the North Island . Did you know that? The Auckland sky tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the southern hemisphere, standing at 328 meters high. Last fact about New Zealand that I found interesting was 30% of the country is forest. So there must be a lot of trees then. CAN YOU FIND OUT SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT NEW ZEALAND?
