Maths Mahi (Investigation)

For the maths Mahi investigation, we had to grab some paper and make circles after we had to fold it and cut out some little bits and open it up we had to do this about five times but some you had to fold it into quarters. After you did the circles we had to write what you notice with the patterns.   

Matariki Jigsaw Puzzle

For Matariki, we made a jigsaw puzzle with Matariki activities on the puzzle pieces. The activities we had to do was our family tree and you had to design your own kite. it was really fun and especially glueing the puzzle pieces together to make a puzzle.

My Term 2, 2020 Reflection

The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term is the opt-in workshops because we could choose what to do for our learning.

Something that has challenged me this term has been Number of the Day but it's getting easier.

The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was the Catapult Challenge because it was fun catapulting the pompom and making the catapult with my friends.

The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was Dance which was taken with Mrs Fraser. We did line dancing and it was so much fun.

An aim I have for my learning is to keep focused on my learning and not get distracted by others.

Whetu challenge (egg carton)

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

I really enjoyed this whetu challenge because I have some experience with egg cartons because I did it in lockdown.

What I used in this egg carton creation was: a egg carton, pom poms, blue and green paper, buttons, and some rocks.

Matariki writing challenge

 Today I finished the Matariki writing challenge, I coloured it with felt tips but I didn't colour the whole thing in. For the first worksheet →
I had to fill in the missing words and I had to design my own kite.




 For the other worksheet I had to make my own calendar to show when Matariki starts and then
I had to write three facts from the fact card.     

Matariki reading challenge

For this task, we had to do some true or false facts about Matariki. For the facts, we had to see the answers on the doc. We had to tick or cross off the true or false facts. The last question was a little tricky because it didn't come up with anything so I thought that if it didn't come up with anything it was a false statement.     

whetu challenge (paper plane)

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 about how high and how long it goes but instead we had to do a landing and a bullseye.

I decided to use the design because it worked well but I just had to aim.

The hardest part was to aim because the plane went the other way.

During our competition time I managed to get it on the runway.
