My Term 2, 2020 Reflection The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term are the Whetu challenges we get to do on Fridays because I get to create new things and sometimes work with my friends. Something that has challenged me this term has been the Matariki worksheets because it was hard for me to understand it. The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was the milk bottle creation because I got to paint a milk bottle and put popcorn and lollipops in it. The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was doing basketball because I got to learn new basketball skills. An aim I have for my learning is to get up to rock hero on tt rock stars because then I will be really good at my time tables.

EGG CARTON CREATION This week for our Whetu Challenge we created something using egg carton The thing That I made was meant to be a barn with chickens in it. It didn't turn out to be how I planned it to be.       The part that was hard was the hot gluing because the glue Kept drying and I got burnt heps of times. The part that was easy was the panting and the planing.  It was not good                                                                                                                                                                  

I finished the rest of my Matariki sheets. At first, it was hard but then I figured it out by reading the slides. The part that was hard was manly everything nut some parts was easy.

In my homeroom, we are doing this thing about the 7 stars. We all got 5 sheets that we have to do. This sheet that I'm showing you is the sheet I did today.  I got most of them wrong but I think I did a good job. The part that was easy was well acutely manly all of it was hard for me but I did well. It was fun learning new things like this because I didn't know about this stuff but know I do.

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 something to do with food.  I decided to use the design of lightning because I thought it would look cool. I also write my name on it in rainbow colors on the side of the plane.  The hardest part was making the paper plane and getting it to work because it would move but the plane would do heaps of flips. During our competition time, I managed to score. I didn't score but I was close.

This time for sick sentences it was about a snail and a strawberry. The part that was hard was making the sentences because I didn't know what to say. the part that was easy was when I named the snail and the strawberry. 

I did another synthesis eggs this time it was about cheetahs.

For this week's math challenge we did it about in ten years' time. The part that was challenging was what my dream job is. The part that was easy was who will still be my friend. The part that was my favorite is when I got to make myself when im 19.

I did another sick sentence. this time it was about an owl and a wasp. The part that was hard was fixing the sentences because I didn't really know what to say. The part that was easy was naming the owl and the wasp because I was just looking at the owl and the wasp and naming them.

we did another math mystery. this time I worked with Madison, my cousin. The part that was challenging was two dividabys but then we got the hang of it. The part that was easy was the time tables and really everything else. My favorite part of the math challenge was doing it with Madison. The thing that Maddie found hard was the devidabys two But she worked them out and helped me. By Haven.

I did another Synthesis egg but this time it was about tigers. The part that was easy was what I already knew about tigers. The part that was challenging was the egg that said my new understanding is, but then it wasn't so hard when I write something down.

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 Shirley and Lola. We had to work in pers of three so we decided to work together. At first, we had trouble with  Getting the tower to stand because when we rolled up the newspaper and started making the tower, it wouldn't stand up. The easiest thing was rolling up the newspaper and sellotape it up. The best part of our tower was working with my two buddies because we had so much fun. Our tower looked bad because it was following apart. In the end, it was a complete disaster but my favorite part was just working with my friends and trying to get it to work.

We had to do a sick sentence . The part that was challenging was understanding what to do but when I was in a meeting with Mrs. Kennedy she told me what to do. The part that was easy was naming the fish. The part that was my favorite part was naming the fish.

I did a Synthesis Eggs its were we got a piece of paper with three eggs on it the synesis eggs is about the Sahara desert were there were vicious dinosaurs.

We did another math challenge. This time I worked with Shirley and Lola. The part that was hard was doing the math.
