Egg Drop Challenge!!!

This Fri-yay for our Whetu Challenge was... The Egg Drop Challenge. First we got introduced to our Challenge for this week, we were all surprised and confused at the start but then we understood the Challenge. Long story short we had a set kit to try and save a Egg from it breaking. Then we got into a group of three, luckily I got with my friends Ihi and Stephanie. Then we went as fast as we could to find a place to plan and create, after about 5-10 minutes we started. Stephanie went to grab a the kit that had Scissors, Tape, Yarn, 2 Balloons, Newspaper and a Brown Paper bag to store it all in. My first idea was that we could use the Paper bag so we did. We thought and we thought and we came up with our plan. Then at it seemed like our egg wouldn't break. When we went to the place we were going to drop our creations we named our egg, and other parts. The names were Jeromiglia, Timoothee Chalamat, Bigge and the eggs name was Egg-Sir-Cracks-Alot. We dropped our creation and our egg survived "Yayay." We were the First Team that our egg didn't crack, we were so proud and happy. But then we had to say our goodbyes to our children we were a great family. The hardest part was the WIND because we just about lost our balloon.

We miss you Jeromiglia, Timoothee Chalamat, Bigge and Egg-Sir-Cracks-Alot.

Literacy Mystery - Week 2 Term 3

Its a New Week and a fresh New Term to start something different. This week we got to do a literacy mystery doing things like fixing spelling mistakes, putting in the right punctuation and more. Its just like the Maths Mystery but a bit different. Instead of being a ocean mystery, it was a PIRATE Mystery. I worked with a great partner Stephanie, we got the Pirate culprit it was.... TESSA THE TERRIBLE!!!

Heres my working out (basically the answers)

Matariki - Jigsaw

This week there was a Matariki jigsaw puzzle, it had all types of questions about Matariki. Some things we got to customise and draw like the Matariki kite. I enjoyed doing the Matariki jigsaw because I learnt more things about the Matariki culture. I learned what my family tree is because I never knew there was such thing as a family tree. The reason that I decorated each peace with stars was because of the Seven Sisters. I did some stars bigger than others to represent the Seven Sisters. The thing that challenged me is that you get to solve the puzzle, it was pretty hard but I got it finished.

Here is my completed Matariki jigsaw.

Maths Mystery - Code Breaker

This Week was a little bit of a switch up, instead of the plane-Jane Maths mystery (not saying they're bad) it was a Code Breaker challenge. I found it challenging at first as all the empty squares scared me, because sometimes I have a fear of maths because when I see equations my brain turns off. So I take a deep breath and give it a go.

 A Code Breaker Challenge is where you get a list of numbers and letters on top of it, you need to solve equations to get the matching number with that letter. And after a while of coding you have your words or sentences. We had around 5 slides of coding to complete it took a while but I manged to get it finished.

This is  what most of the pages looked like.

Word of the Week - Oblivious

This week for our Word of the Week the word was... Oblivious. I like doing Word of the weeks because you can recreate and design it in your own way so you like it. I like adding pops of colour to make mine shine. This week the hardest part was finding a picture, because yes there were a lot but they did not match the word "Oblivious" but I eventually found one. I find Word of the weeks great, because I am learning a new word that I can use in a story or saying.  I have really liked learning about this word as I have been oblivious to it before.

My Term 2 Reflection

My Term 2, 2020 Reflection

The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term is Number of the Day, because it showed me twenty different ways of math every day. Some I didn't even know of.

Something that has challenged me this term has been LOCKDOWN. At the start of this term we were all in lockdown and it made it pretty hard to get back into routine.

The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was to create your own Jingle about your favorite food, it was fun creating sentences that got stuck in our heads for the longest time.

The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was Anagram workshop. It made my brain dig deep to think because you had you re-use letters to re-create a new word that makes sence.

An aim I have for my learning is to strive for the best it can be, turn it into a supernova.
