Tennis Ball Tower Challenge

By Anonymous -
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.

For Chapter Challenge, we make a Dray. I worked with Shirley and Scarlett. It was just Shirley and I but then we saw Scarletts Dray and we wanted to join. so we built this one by combing ours together. We used toothpicks, cardboard, plastic bits and bobs, wood and string. where were lots of falling apart things but in the end it was worth it. The most challenging part was joining the string to the Dray.

NumBots and TTrockstars

  Term 2, Week 1 2021 During Term 1 we have been practising our addition and subtraction knowledge through the online programme called NumBots.  At the start, it was super easy but progressively got more challenging. I am now on kevlar level of NumBots and right now I am on a really hard level but I reckon I will get past in someday.   I enjoy NumBots because  I like the way they teach you stuff and I like the way that you know that you are learning stuff.  What I find challenging is that some levels are hard and then you get two stars then your like that’s okay. you continue on then you come back and sometimes you get three stars and you are really happy.  This week we have started TTRockstars.  This is an online programme which helps us to learn our timetables.  I think that TTRockstars will be so fun and I have a feeling that I will be Rock Hero soon and I will be SOO happy.

Cooking Reflection

By Anonymous -
  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.
