EGG CARTON CREATION

This week for our Whetu Challenge we created something using egg cartons.

I use brown paint and I mix the yellow and the brown together so it can make a light brown and I use some colour sharpie.

It didn't turn that great because I didn't get to finished it and I could did it better if I had more time.

This challenge was properly the hardest challenge out of all the other whetu challenges.

The easiest part was none because every little step was hard for me.

R.P.W part 4



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. "Shhh! 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.






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, Nice, Friendly, yelling, scared, become friends, Parents.

crying,









3. Continue the story on from here using information about the boy, monster and room etc. Have fun!




I think he might scream and yell for his parents. When the parents come the monster is going to hide for them. Then the kid told what happened but they didn't believe it because they don’t believe in monsters. When they went back to bed the monster came back and the kid started to yell but the monster cover his mouth. The monster said “It ok don’t cry” then the monster want to be friends with him and the kid started to be happy. He started to go back to bed and every night the monster will always come out and say hi.

Whetu Challenge

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 hard and fun because making a
good and accurate paper plane is not easy but my one did pretty good but I didn’t go to the final
but I did make it to the championship round.


I decided to use the design standard because it smothe and the top bit is really pointy and a pointy
plane is really good. I think if you have a pointy plane it makes it go further. 


The hardest part was getting my paper plane to go into the hanger. It was really hard but I
managed to get it besides it.   

During our competition time, I didn't know how much I scored but I think I got two points.

Read and Predict

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 might pass out, I think he might be lucky and have someone to rescue him and they had so much water that man was really lucky that someone came to save him but then after he both of them got lost and they only had a little water left and they mostly going to get hydrated.


2. What evidence from the text supports your prediction? Because he said he was light headed when you are lightheaded you might pass out and he said he was dizzy and he going to get hydrated because his carteen was out of water there wasn’t a single drop of water.

"Don't forget to lock the barn behind you, so the animals don't get out." Farmer Green told his new farmhand, Danny. Danny nodded and went to work. He fed all of the animals, and then he cleaned the stables. It was hard work, but Danny was happy to have a job. At first Farmer Green watched him carefully, but gradually he gave Danny some distance, showing him his trust. Danny was exhausted from a hard day's work. He wiped the sweat from his brow and proceeded to exit the barn. He left the lock in a pile of hay by the shovels and shut the door behind himself, walking away from the unlocked door. Danny was off to see Farmer Green to find out his next task...


1. What event is most likely to occur next? I think that the animals are going to get out and trash and reck the entire place and when farmer green see the place I think he is going to faith. 


2. What evidence from the text supports your prediction? The text said “ He left the lock in a pile of hay by the shovels and shut the door behind himself” and then he was walking form the unlocked door.

Tennies ball tower

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 Amy and Maitearoha we work together really well I had a
a lot of fun working with them. 


At first, we had trouble with keeping it straight at first it was tall but we want it to be
taller and stronger so Amy role up another pole and stick it to the first pole to make it steadier. 


The easiest thing was rolling up the pole we made to pole it works out better than I thought. 


The best part of our tower was connecting the two straw together to make it tighter Amy had the idea
to connect the to straw.


In the end, It made a tall tower at 73cm and it can hold a tennis ball on top.
