Term 2 Reflection

The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term is art and the options because art is when you can use all of your creativity and let your imagination go wild!!. The options were also fun there was dancing, P.E, quizzes, and all sorts of fun stuff.

Something that has challenged me this term has been Maths because it is a bit difficult for me but I can find ways to make maths easier for me.

The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was the tennis ball tower and the milk carton creation because I did some painting creating and I also did some teamwork in the tennis ball tower.

The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was dancing because I have been dancing ever since I was 3 and I love music and dancing is really fun!!!

An aim I have for my learning is to get better at math.

Whetu Challenge/ Egg creation

This week for our Whetu Challenge we created something using egg cartons. This week I created a mushroom, Panda, and a spider.


What I found challenging was making the spide and the panda because it was hard to stick the parts together because the egg carton had different shapes.


The hardest thing was making my parts stick because the thing I had to stick was thin so I had to put a bit of glue on.

The materials I used were an egg carton, pipe cleaners, paint.
It turned out to be ok because I did,nt finish all of it but I tried my best. I was going to make a bee as well but I ran out of time.

Whetu Challenge- Paper Plane

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 fun and it was but my plane did,nt fly that well.

I decided to use the design that had lots of colors, My name of course. and the plan design I did was similar to a javelin but it wasn't a standard.
The hardest part was making my plane fly because I had to see if it flew accurately.

Tennis Ball Challenge

Today for our Whetu Challenge we worked in a group to build a tower out of newspaper, 2 straws, and sellotape. We needed to make our tower strong enough to hold a tennis ball and be able to stand alone (not leaning on anything or needing support).

Today I worked with Hannah and Carlee

At first, we had trouble with Making our tennis ball holder stand because we thought when we put the tennis ball on it would,nt fall.

The easiest thing was rolling up the paper and taping because we had to do spirals around the paper.

The best part of our tower was the part where the tennis ball stood on our holder

Our tower looked like a spider was going into a rocket ship because on top it looks like its legs

In the end, It turned out great and it was very stable to hold the tennis ball.

In the making

Finished
