{}{} Water Wheel {}{}

Last week on our contracts we had a Mahi tahi challenge.

Mahi tahi is when the 3 senior classes get put into different groups and we have to do a challenge.

we also have to think about the Four Cs Critical Thinking,Communication,Collaboration,Creativity.

Since we couldn't be together in the same class we did it as one class.

Our challenge was to make a water wheel that moves and picks up water.

we made it out of paper plates, straws, egg cartons,hot glue, tin foil, rubber bands, skewers and cups.

When we were finished we test it out and it worked perfectly but it didn't pick up water.

Here's is an image

Why are rainforests important

Travelling through the rainforest

Lately my class have been learning about the rainforest.  Mrs Cutler said we should do some art we all shouted "YAY" 
So we got a piece of A3 paper and drew a simple light line of the shape of your rainforest leaf. Next we had to get the crayons and press lightly for the leaf at the front to look like it is popping out of the page and the leaves at the back darker to give it depth. Next thing we had to do is dye our backgrounds. Some of us used the light green,some of us the dark green and most of the class did light green and then a little bit of dark green over the top. This made it look more realistic.
My bird is a macaw, I chose the blue and yellow macaw because I wanted a bright bird that was different colour to my background

Level 1

We are now in level 1, a new beginning for everyone!

It feels weird to go from keeping social distancing and hand sanitising in mind to not needing to do it as much as we used to now.

It has been so long since we had started the year I was going to do dance competitions and then they were cancelled like soccer,rugby and lots of other sports.

I really hope the people who were chosen to go to the Olympics are training hard. We had been in level 4 from 26/3 - 27/4 then to level 3 28/3 - 13/5 and then to level 2 14/5 - 8/6 and since last night we are now in level 1.

I am proud of New Zealand because we are leading the world of having no cases and have successfully controled covid-19 and on the way to elimination.     (!!GO NEW ZEALAND!!) Give a big round of applause to our Prime minister Jacinda ardern

How to respect the environment

On Friday Mr. Gunn told the class a story about rata and the waka.

Rata's father died he felt sad so rata and so he shed it and in the next morning when the tree was starting site and so he did it again and so he started to do it again and he did it again so he hides behind a bush and then he saw some animals help but the man said what are you doing this is my way.

Down it goes

Last night I found the box of contractions witch is a box of blocks.
I had a goal to do Dominoes all the way down my hallway and in the kitchen a little bit.
My brothers really wanted to try and break it they thought it was funny but I did not.

It was a challenging because I had to put them up one by one and if it falls over I had to start over again.
