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.

Math Challenge

This week I did a math challenge I work with a buddy my buddy was my brother we work together really well. The hardest clue to figure out was clue 2 is about symmetry that one was really hard for me and my brother. The easiest clue was Clue 3. This clue was about if the answer was true or false if there more right answer the naughty gnome is standing if there are more wrong answers then the naughty gnome is sitting. That one was the easiest for me and my brother. In the end, me and my brother found out the naughty gnome is CAPTAIN STEVE.

Read and Predict

What event is most likely to occur next is he might get bullied again he already got
bullied at his old school maybe he has to move school again or
not because he made a friend at his new school and maybe he could step up for him.

 What evidence from the text supports your prediction? Because in his old
school he got bullied by his body size they bullied them because
he was fat but his friend help him if he gets bullied.

Whetu Catapult Challenge

The things that I used to make my catapult were rubber band and a plastic spoon and a popsicle stick.

To make my catapult I worked with Josh and Shawn because they had know one to work with so I decided to work with them.

The most challenging part was putting the rubber band on the popsicle stick to make them connect. Sometimes I hurt my hand by using rubber bands.

Overall I think that I did a good job same as my buddies we work really well together.

#1 I think he maybe has to go to another school	Because he said that he didn't like the subjects at school and he gets a bit bullied
#2 I think if there going to move I think there going to go somewhere far away	Because then they are far away from the bullied

Maths challenge

This week I went to do the maths mystery with Amy we both work together the first clue was very hard but at the end, we figure it out. There were 5 clues to help find the mystery person. The easiest part was multiplication triangles. Multiplication triangles are times. Multiplication triangles were the 5 clue which was the last clue and

the mystery person is Florence   

Making ninja star and sword out of paper / at home

I have been making ninja and sword at home at first I keep making mistakes but I keep on trying but I waste a lot of paper but I don't care because I have heaps of paper lying everywhere. My first ninja stars were the ones that haven't got color on it. It took me two A4 papers the next one is a bit bigger it has the blue on it that ninja stars took me four A4 papers. It took me pretty long. The one that took the longest
was the one with the blue on it. The ninja stare that had the blue on it had a lot of folding and tucking things in. I had a lot of fun making it.
