So today we got Mrs. Taffee to come to Whetu. She confessed that she did the crime but she did have computer problems so she came over here to get the dongle and she saw the chocolates and thought she would take a little then she thought that she heard someone coming so she ran and if your wondering who she got in she turned off the alarm in the staff room and when she tried to push the door and it was jammed and then it finally came unjammed and on the way out she cut her hand on the wrist. She wears scrunchies and she dyed her hair maybe because her hair got stuck in the door.

 4.11.2020 So on Tuesday, we went to Athletics I didn't get into any finals but that's ok. When I went to high jump I failed the first one because I slipped the second time I got the first leg over but the second leg didn't and it hit my foot and then the third turn I lifted my first leg and then my leg cramped up and it just froze where it was. For long jump, I got three turns, and the first one I got really far but I fell back so it got measured from there the second turn I did the same the third turn I thought in my head if I fall forward it will get measured from where I fell forward so I did as best as I did to look like I fell forward but it just got measured from where I landed from where my feet landed I was really bummed after that. :(  I think I used all my learning powers. :) well that was my day at Athletics.

 

  Step 1: Rub your finger in your hair.  Step 2: Press your finger on a surface.  Step 3: Get a piece of tape and only press it on the fingerprint carefully take the tape off so you don’t crimp the tape. Step 4: Take the tape and put it on a piece of paper, then you've lifted your fingerprint. What type are you? This is me lifting my fingerprint :) This is my fingerprint

 My fingerprint is rare and it is an arch. When sally came she told us when burglars use tools to smash windows they use a sloppy glue mixed with some blue stuff that looks like mum's eyelash tint to tint peoples eyelashes and they put that substance on the tool mark to get a model of it it's very interesting she also told us that they can get footprints from couches and soft materials sally told us a lot of things that are very interesting and I am really pleased that we are doing this   😊 . 

 When I got to school I saw the police tape, I did not know what was happening so I just carried on with it I put my bag away and then I peeked through the window and then I saw the crime scene and then I remembered that when Quinn was in here that he did a crime scene in here. I saw in the crime scene that there was A footprints, milky way scattered on the floor and there was a vase on the floor that was all broken, and bloody tissue a tissue box and there was a jar full of milky ways and there were drips of blood on the handle on the door and some more blood on the ground next to the door and the broken vase.

The crystal we made stuck at the bottom of the glass and it was really hard to get out but luckily Mrs, Kennedy got it out with a spoon!!  The shape we made was a spiral it was touching the bottom so it was stuck.

This is my chapter chat creation this week I did Ross' word bafh, So here it is  

 

  This week I joined the cooking workshop option. On the first day, we learned about cooking safety in the kitchen. On the second day we chopped up the vegetables and put it in the pot if you were done you did a crossword. On the third day, we served up the soup and ate it and after that, we wrote our reflection and this is the reflection. The part I liked the most was chopping up the vegetables because I like cooking with chopping in it.

This math investigation we did clockwise and anticlockwise, this was very hard when you did the first row but when you did the second row you just copied that. There were two sheets one clockwise and one anticlockwise, when you did the anticlockwise you had you go the other way and you got muddled up and had to start again.

  Whetū Workshops Reflection During Term 2 and 3 the Whetū students have had the opportunity to be involved in a range of different workshops. The workshop that I have enjoyed participating in the most has been anagrams because there was a challenge to it because you have to think really hard to not get the same as other people. The new learning that I have learned is when we did the ballon rising with the gases, I didn’t think the balloons would rise but it did and I was really surprised   What I have most enjoyed about the workshops is that there are learning and fun and that is what makes it interesting.  I am interested in learning more about cooking so I can learn measurements and then I can do more cooking at home.

7.08.2020 For Whetu challenge we did a Cartoon Challenge it was very fun we had to do it in our learning constellation group, my constellation group did THE INCREDIBLES ours did not look good. I did the Mum, I was doing Violet but then it was too hard and changed to the Mum that one was easy.     

How much will the glasses cost to buy? $2200 until February and then the price will be $3000. Who receives a reward when the missing child is found? they get rewarded with a $165 fee.

This is what Marle y and I work on for Literacy and it was really fun the anwser that we got was Tessa the terrible.

EGG CARTON CREATION This week for our Whetu Challenge we created something using egg cartons. What I used to create my egg carton creation was straws, paper, moss, sand and greenery. What I found challenging was making the flowers and putting them onto the straw. The easiest part was putting the greenery on because you just have to place them on.

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 a lego challenge  I decided to use the design on my plane because I thought about geometry, squares, and lines.  The hardest part was making the plane and giving the right accuracy. During our competition time I almost scored 1 but instead I got zero (sad right!!) but it was fun for me to forget about that and focused on the fun. 

Mesmerized, verb  Capture the complete attention of (someone). Variety, noun  The state of being different. Unique, adjective  Being the only one of it kind. Recycler, noun  A person who recycles or a machine used to recycle.

This was fun doing this. The one I liked the best was "Use it in a sentence". The picture I got was very cool in colours and seemed like Lightning in colours in a ball (That's cool).

Meet My pet, she is playful and cute she really playful she really cute when she is sleeping😄.

Today for our Whetu Challenge we worked in a group to build a tower out of newspaper, 2 straws and a 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 Shirley and Haven to make my tennis ball tower  At first, we had trouble with the structure of the tower but then it got easier. The easiest thing was making the base of the tower that was the part that you don’t have to do anything the newspaper did it all   The best part of our tower was the place where the ball went because it was all floppy.  Our tower looked not good. It always fell over when we were building it but the tape really helped it stay up. In the end, it was worth it all the paper ripping, tape sticking and the fight for the idea we had in mind. It was really worth it.    

I Love clay because he is nice and does not bite. he LOVES pats and attention clay likes to swim with us in the water hole in the summer. I think I did a great job I tried to think like him this was really fun I might go this again.

Whetu Catapult Challenge The things that I used to make my catapult were rubber bands, popsicle sticks and a plastic spoon.   To make my catapult we stacked four popsicle sticks and rapped the rubber bands around it then we put sticks that were overlapping two then we put it in the middle of the first and second one then we tied the spoon to it and that my friends is how we made the CATAPULT!!! (FIRE!!!)   The most challenging part was putting the rubber bands on without snapping.  Our best results were that the catapult worked!!! By flinging the pom pom across the room.    Overall I think that it was really fun doing it with Roanne and Kiana.

I made this emoji because it is funny .  The hardest was doing the white sheet and the easiest part was the eyes and the part I enjoyed was making the emoji.             So here it is  

Kerosene Creek and Lake Tarawera 20.5.2020 Yesterday we went to kerosene creek it is a naturally heated creek with a cool 2m waterfall that if you put your back up against the water and you get a free massage. It was so fun and we got an exfoliation which made our skin so smooth. We had lunch where the pink and white terraces were buried. The Tarawera eruption happened on the 10 June 1886, unfortunately, the 8th wonder of the world (the pink and white terraces) were covered by molten lava and then buried at the bottom of Lake Tarawera.  Today you can only see the mountains with their tops blown out. I would have loved to bathe in the pink and white terraces.

  Lola's Lockdown Dairy

For my art with egg cartons, I realised that we had a small problem we didn't have any egg cartons. one thing we had a lot of during   lockdown was tin cans. I decided to upcycle  the tin cans for pens, pencils colouring in pencils to keep our homeschooling tidy  I wanted to make weird and wonderful monsters I think they all have different personalities I enjoyed thinking of different ways to paint the eyes. My favourite one is the blue one with the buck teeth and wonky eyes. They can also be used as monster s k i t t l e s . This was good fun. 

During lockdown we haven't been going to the supermarket, we order online every 2nd week, and our veggie garden hasn't been giving us much lately. So we have been missing fresh green leafy veggies. one day when we were in our creek surprise we found watercress it is greeny leafy lettuce type plant that grows in freshwater. so we decided to make peppery, yummy watercress pesto . *handful of nuts (we used almonds and pumpkin seeds) *glugs of olive oil *lemon (juice and zest) *salt and pepper *big handfuls of watercress *3 cloves of garlic (we LOVE garlic) blend ALL in a blender   Then my fav part... eating this with my homemade crackers

The best part of the book was at the end when Peter opened the box that had his pet in it. I was thinking that I would love to get a new pet in a box as a  surprise . So we found an old pillow, some material, buttons and stuffing out of Dads overstuffed pillow. I liked using the sewing machine, sewing the legs. I learned that you have to tell the material where to go otherwise it goes all wibbly-wobbly,  Mum said: "Be the boss". The pet that I would like to get would be a kitten of my own. One that was all mine to take care of. I think I would be a very  caring  and  responsible  owner and would give my kitten lots of  cuddles  and  love . she would sleep with me every night. I would and be surprised and  happy.  I would name her Petal. This video is if I got a surprise present.

My Mum  She's weird in a brilliant way.  She oms and meditates.  She follows no recipe but it always turns out perfect.  My mums dancing to old songs is a little bit embarrassing. Her crystals, card and chakra bowl is precious. She's a beautiful mess even when she doesn't wash her hair and has holes in her favourite clothes. If I need anything she can always find it or make it. When I hop into bed with her at night she is soft, warm and cuddly she says that I am brilliant and weird too. Here's a photo of my acrostic poem

Judy Blume the fourth grade of nothing   Activity's  Peter's biggest problem is he dosn't like his brother fudge taking and using his stuff, it annoying. Fudge likes winding him up, it makes peter feel angry and not heard. Not me I don’t have younger siblings I am the youngest. My big siblings are fun, they are awesome and they support and teach me things like flips and chess.  We play outside in the bush, making fires and  riding bikes. They say funny jokes and always fun  I love to play with sticks, stones and mucky play. Clay from the creak and making bread, I like the way it squishes through my fingers. The couch is good for huts.  I do not have a favourite animal but I do want to be a mix with an elephant and a giraffe because of with a long neck and a long nose I could do some things that no one could do, like reach the tallest tree. They left him alone until he got hangry until he ate on is own. Once I fell out of a tree and ended up in the h...
