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.

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.
