Maths Mystery

This week for the Maths Mystery with Christopher.

Term 2 2020 Reflection

The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term is Number of the Day because I like maths.Something that has challenged me this term has been seeing my friends after lock down because I was nervous after not seeing them for a while.The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was the catapult challenge because I got to work with my friends and it was really fun.The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was origami because it is very calm and nice and peaceful.An aim I have for my learning is getting my numbers and letters the right way round because it is very hard to remember.

This week for my blog challenge I did my dream Holiday.

Gordon lay in his bed, listening for sounds. CRUNCH! GROAN! SLOBBER! GRRRR!
There it went again. He pulled the covers over his head but the noises wouldn’t go away. He slipped out of bed and turned his light on. He stood, looking around. He walked over to his closet and opened it. There was nothing in there except his toys and his clothes. He dropped to his knees and lifted the covers.
"HI!" the monster said, sliding out from under the bed. Gordon was about to scream when the monster put his fingers to his lips. "Shh! Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you."
Gordon didn’t say a word. He stared at the monster. It was purple, had big yellow spots all over its skin, two fat horns sticking out of the top of its head, sharp claws on its feet and chubby fingers. Its lips were bright green and its eyes were orange. Gordon noticed a tear running down its face. "Why, why are you crying?" he stuttered.
2. Jot down any key words from above or thoughts about what might happen. e.g. Monster says it won’t hurt him. Monster is crying he might be hurt
3. Continue the story on from here using information about the boy, monster and room etc. Have fun!
“Because I am scared of you and you kids are always jumping out of bushes and scaring me” said the monster.
“ You're scared of me, well I'm scared of you,” said Gordon “What's your name?” said Gordon.” my name is spot”said the monster\spot” what is yours” said spot.” my name is Gordon '' he said what were those sounds you were making”said Gordon” I hurt myself when I was sleeping”said spot. are you OK do you want to be friends" said Gordon. yes

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 really hard because I am not that good at making paper planes.

I decided to use the design was a home made plane because my cousin made it.

The hardest part was adding the designs on the top and the sides.

During our competition time I managed to score 0 because my

plane kept curving and coming back.

blog challenge

This week for the blog challenge I did a birthday card. The most challenging part was making the out line of the words. the most easy part was making the hats.

As Frank marched through the desert, the high winds blew sand at speeds that stung his exposed skin. He looked back and could see his footprints for hundreds of feet beyond that the winds had blown them away. He had no idea how long or how far he had walked. He turned his back to the wind and opened his canteen. He attempted to pour it into his mouth, but there was not a drop. He rolled his tongue around the nozzle of the canteen, but it was bone dry. Frank dropped the canteen in the sand and continued walking. His steps slowed. He was getting dizzy. The sun's rays seemed to only increase in intensity throughout the day. It hung high overhead and punished all that resided in the desert beneath it. Frank was lightheaded. He felt his knees get wobbly...

1. What event is most likely to occur next? I think he is going to faint

2. What evidence from the text supports your prediction? because he was getting wobbly and he was over heating

  

Tennis Ball Tower Challenge

Tennis Ball Tower 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 my friends Izzy OJ.
At first we had trouble with stabilising it and in the end it still did not stand up.
The best part of our tower was that it was tall.
Our tower looked very weird.
In the end it was really tall

Because there was a puddle of oil on the bottom on the ramp.

grey hound

This the bet that I made for the blog challenge I chose a greyhound because that is the pet I want when I am older and my pets are not very active or playful.
