EGG CARTON CREATION

EGG CARTON CREATION

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

I deiced to make a turtle with a fashionable shell to clip on and off. I am proud of what I have made, it may be small and it may be weird but all that matters is that I like it.

The materials I used were an egg carton bottom half, Pom poms green to be specific, Crazy googly eyes, a Peg,  Hot glue and scissors. The hot glue made it all come together so it would all stick together.

My plan came together perfectly, because people helped me and I had all the things I needed. 

The most challenging thing that happened was the TIMER, time went TICK tok TICK tok, too fast and the time limit was over before you knew it.

I love doing Whetu challenges each Fri-yay, because it challenges me and makes me think outside of the box.

Blog challenge - Recreate a part of the class room.

I finished my creation, I had to use my imagination and pretended that I was standing there for real! Then I saw it all coming together.
I could feel the long soft wool of the carpet under my feet as I was standing there squishing my toes into it, but my eyes were caught by the subtle glow of the fairy lights flashing on the whiteboard.
But what I liked the best was the fact that this classroom has a super soft couch that only 3 students or Teachers could sit on. When we ever do work it will be great to sit on the couch instead of having to be squashed on the floor by all the other students is defiantly the best part.

Word of the week - Cacophony

Cacophony what is this mysterious word well I just learnt about that word because that's our word of the week. When I searched it up it came up with nothing but I re-worded what I said, then it came up with what it meant. Then I started typing away and made my final product I am proud to say I made a Supernova and put all my effort into it. I like the pop of colours and the stars to make it stand out.


Here's my final product of Word of the Week.

Maths mystery - Murder at the Movies

This Murder-ful Math Week, the Mystery was Murder at the movies... I worked with my partner in crime which was... Stephanie. I really enjoyed working with her because I had lots of mind farts because my brain heard of Math and deiced to forget everything. But Stephanie kept me in track. I forgot to say that this Maths Mystery was 1000% harder and trickery. There were more twists and turns with new Math ways. After the third question we stated to give up, because it got to the stage where it felt impossible but we used resilience and completed it.  Then we got the final answer the person who murdered a random citizen was... Berniece Lowery. Time for prison!


Here is the slides we completed

Whetu Fantastic Challenge Paper Airplane Competition

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 easy because I was going to make my Hornet bee paper airplane.

I decided to use the design of my original idea of the Hornet bee because it always flys a far distance and does a loopty loop.

The hardest part was folding it in the specific way because one wrong fold means it will not fly.

During our competition time I managed to score nothing... Because I am not at school I am at home.

Here is my Plane (Hornet Bee)

Maths Mystery the Pencil case Thief...

This week we did another Maths Mystery... and I partnered up with Stephanie. First we did a twist and guessed who it was, at the very start. I guessed Vilot and Stephanie guessed Ruby. But anyways the hardest part was Clue. 3 because we got a little confused but we solved out our problem and asked the Teacher, then she helped us understand the question. Stephanie and I banged through the questions and we figured it out with team work and the thief was.... RUBY! Stephanie guessed it!


Here is our slides that we filled in 

New Birthday Card Idea!

For one of the activates we could do was to create a new Birthday card online or by hand. Miss Coles and Mr. Fraser are looking for a new type of birthday card so the asked the school if they could create a new card for them. If you didn't know already when its your birthday at school or on the weekend they will go in your class and give you a birthday card, to say Happy birthday from them to you. But if your birthday is in the weekend they will give it to you on Friday or earlier. Anyways I decided to make a star-y themed card because at the end of last year we got new painted signs for the classes. Most of them were night-timed themed so that's why I did a star-y theme. The reason I did not already right there names down was because if they print it out they can get a pen, and write down there signature down so you know its from them.

A tip, I recommend on google drawings is once you have got the thing you have made like my present, screen shot it and Ctrl-c it then place it where you want to because that's what I did and it helps like a lot.
