Hi for the past few weeks me and my group members Sione and Eddie have been working on building a catapult. 

 please click Here to find our poster that we made off our catapult.

Hello again this is what we had to do before we were able to make our own and improved catapult.

So first we our focus was on energy about kinetic and positive, elastic, and others.  After we were on learning about doing kahoots even still to this day. We were getting tired, so we moved on and started making three different modules of a catapult. We made them out of items like school Items. The catapult we made 123, 1 was cool, 2 was easy, 3 was even easier. We used number two and improved it. It was good. I think that it's enough for today because you might 

Noveber

 yesterday we did our reflection for november  to reflect on our work.

for tui ridge we did high ropes, rope maze, rock climming,paintball,lazar tag, and flying fox.

my favourite one was rock climbing  because you got to bounce down the wall when you got to the top

Here is my reflection

ice Candles

Today and yesterday we made ice candles.

Here are the steps

1.get an almond milk container

2. clean it

3. cut the top off 

4.put oil in there then rub around the four sides so nothing sticks to the sides

5.put a long skinny candle in the middle

6.put ice in it.

7. put wax in after the ice 

8. let it set for 1 day

9. rip it open

Then you're done. 

I was so cool but so slimy. There was holes from the ice melting and lots of water poured out. The heat from the wax had melted the ice and the the wax set.

I enjoyed to colour in and learn about who made it Winslow Homer made the first one born in1865.

And the second one Hokusaicamade born in 1832.

Here are the ones I made then the real ones

Spooky house

W.A.L.T. infer-infer means to be the Detective and find the answers and the text

 This Week for reading we had to read Spooky House, We had to create a Spooky House.

In this story the movers asked the family "have we got the right house" because it was so old and the crazy old scientist lived in it and died, and strange things happen in it, that they think no one would want to live in it. 

I found it easy to draw the science lab, which is at the very top of the house. 

I enjoyed making all the spooky stuff.

here is the house.

Parihaka

We have been learning about Parihaka. The pakeha soldiers were taking the Maori land and selling it. The Maori people baked the soldiers bread and the children sang and did poi dancing to welcome them. But the soldiers just walked past and burnt down the whole village and destroyed their crops.

We had to think about how the soldiers felt and use a google tool to show our thinking. Josh and I chose wevideo.

Thank you letters

 This week our class has been working on a thank you letter to someone  that came or did some thing for our year 5&6 camp.

I enjoyed writting about the indoor rock climming because it gave me more memories of camp.

I found it hard to think of stuff because I was just thinking about indoor rock climming. 

here is my letter

Dear Dad, 

Thank you for taking us to camp. I thought you were the best parent at camp because you pushed us to go further than we thought we could and you also played Bat Down with us when the activities were finished. 

The best activity was Indoor Rock Climbing. When I first saw it I was like “Na!” but when I got on, it was fun because you got to bounce down the wall after you had made it to the top. I also enjoyed the Flying Fox because it was fun chucking the rope over the line to pull the line down.

 Thank you so much for making our camp lots of fun.

Ngā mihi
