Yesterday  in Te Ngahere I was doing woodwork again. In woodwork I was still making my stealth bomber aeroplane.  That day I think I got quite a bit done. At first I was rounding all the sides. It took about an hour to an hour and 30 minutes. The tool I used to round the sides was a file. After I had finished rounding all the sides I needed to make a top lumpy bit where the person sits, looks and drives, so he can see where he's going. After I glued the lumpy bit on top, I was up to painting my stealth bomber airplane. At the end of the day I had painted the top of my aeroplane and that's all I got done. The easiest thing to do was to paint the top. I enjoyed it the most because I like painting and it was the easiest. What I think I could do better next time is to round the all the sides better

maths

In Te Ngahere we have been doing Math’s DLOs. A math's DLO is something to show your learning. You can show your learning on something like a Google Drawing or a Google Slide. In my Math’s DLO I made a mistake, the mistake was I made was 6769 at the beginning of question 4. What I was meant to say was 6767. The strategy I was using was Same Same Subtraction. It’s other name is Equal Additions. I think Equal Additions is a silly name for this strategy because addition means plus and the strategy is used for subtraction which means take away.

Last week in Te Ngahere A person called Stella came into our school from Bay bush action she explained Possums came to New Zealand because of their fur. The fur of A possum was very comfy, fluffy. It was also worth a lot of money. They Brought the stoat to New Zealand to kill some rabbits because there were thousands of them. The rabbits were digging up everyone's garden. You can just be at a helicopter shooting all the rabbits there were that many. I learnt that stoats came to New Zealand to kill some rabbits. here's  a link to my recorded animation about what I learnt click here

In Te Ngahere me, Ben, AJ and Taleisha made a marshmallow catapult. But the hard thing was we only got to use 12 skewers, 9 Marshmallows 2 rubber bands and lots of masking tape. At first our catapult didn't go that far, It went 1 metre and flow up to high. So we made some adjustments. We made some adjustments by putting the skewers on different angles and making the marshmallows support more. We did this by using more marshmallows. At the end our marshmallow catapult went 9.4 metres. I enjoyed shooting the catapult and building it with my team.

smile and wave test

Yesterday in Te Ngahere Whaea Chrissy made us do an experiment. The experiment was to smile and wave everyone we saw. We did this to see if smiles spread and to make kids feel safe. Me and Tawhiri waived at about 28 people each only three kids didn't wave. After me and Tawhiri had finished our experiment. We learnt that all the kids felt a lot safer and also seems like us. It was like they were our friend. I enjoyed all the kids smiling at us it's felt good. I think me and Tawhiri could have done better by waving at a couple more people

Wood work #2

In Te Ngahere I am a year 8 so that means I will go to technology. The year 7s all so get to come. In cooking class we are cooking strudel, After  we had nearly made the dough the next step was to throw the dough on the table hard as you could 150 times. After that I had to wrap it up in Glad Wrap and waited for one hour. Later on after I stretched out my dough, I had to put the apple on it and  raspberry and sugar after that I rolled it up. I put it in the oven and waited for it to cook. What I enjoyed doing was throwing dough on the table over and over. I did well with throwing the dough on the table over and over. What I think could do better next time is to get more juices in it.

wood Work

In technology I am doing a wood work for this term. In woodwork we are making a model of anything we would like to make. My Design is quite simple it's just drawing is hard. My design is a stealth bomber aeroplane. The reason why this is easy is because it's just a flat bit of wood cut out into the shape of a stealth bomber aeroplane. It's easy to cut the shape out because it's all 1 height and length. The other thing I have to do is add on a bit of wood on top were the glass would be were you sit. Next I will  round the sides with a tool like a file. After I will paint it black . When I next go to woodwork I will finish rounding the sides and stick a bit of wood on top after I shape it.
