Marble run idea

 This is my Marble run plan that me and my group have created. In science we had to make a marble run that showed Gravity, Static friction and Dynamic friction. Our finished marble run didn't end up looking like our plan and it just turned out like the end of our plan. i hope you like our Marble run Plan.

Static Electricity experiment

 For the Last 6 weeks we have been doing interchange. And one of our interchange subjects is science with Miss Power. We have now finished doing interchange but here is one of my recent science experiments.

My Snoopy Enlargement

 A few weeks ago my class had to draw enlargements. First my teacher sent me a grid with lots of squares and we had to find a picture and place it on top of the grid. Most of my class chose cartoon characters and I did too. The character I chose was SNOOPY!!!! After placing our picture over the grid our grid got printed out and we got given a large piece of paper to draw squares 4 centimetres by 4 centimetres. Drawing on the squares was kind of a long process but once I had done that I got to start drawing Snoopy. We had to try and replicate the picture as best as we could. I enlarged my picture by a scale factor of 2. In my opinion my Snoopy came out pretty good. This task was very fun and I enjoyed it because it wasn't to hard because I picked a simple picture and character to draw.

Kupe Animation

                                                                            ~Hello~  

In New Zealand History with Mrs P our task was to make a animation or a play on how either Captain Cook,Abel Tasman or Kupe came to New Zealand and what their journey was like. I was in a pair with Nova and we decided to make a animation about Kupe's journey to New Zealand and this is the finished product! Enjoy!

What makes Excellence?

                                                                          ~Hello~ 

Last week my class was focusing on Excellence and what is Excellence as part of our Striving for Excellence reading project.  Excellence is one of our school values as well as Manaakitanga.  Our big question was what does excellence look like? This is an infographic that I have created about what makes Excellence and what makes an Excellent person!

West-a-Maths 2020

This is a google drawing that I have created about westa maths 2020!

Journey from Hawaiiki to New Zealand board game

For this activity I had to create a board game along the lines of Maori history. Me and Nova have created this board game together and we have made it so you can choose to be either Kupe or his wife. This board game is about Kupe and his Wife's journey from Hawaiiki to New Zealand. There are advantages and disadvantages along the way. You are very welcome to play my game but just remember to ALWAYS follow the rules!!!

Creating a parachute

This is another one of my interchange activities. This is my activity that we did in science with Mrs Power this week. Our experiment was creating a parachute and then testing it. We had to make a parachute in groups using plastic bags. I was in a group of two and my partner was Nova. When our parachute was ready we clipped on a peg at the bottom for more stability and then we went to the top if the fort and we all dropped our parachutes down. The group that's parachute took the least amount of time to fall won. My team didn't win but we got 2.27 seconds!
