 Today we did Play, Make, Create, and the activities based on the book called Rain before Rainbows! I did a design and I use watercolor to paint a rainbow! I worked by myself but sat at a table with Tayla, Shirley, and Scarlett! I  enjoyed working by myself using my independent time as an advantage! t the end I add my favorite quote on the grass below the rainbow! My quote is... Some kids are smarter than you have nicer clothes than you  are better at sports than you  IT DOESN'T MATTER!! you have your thing to so be the kid who can get along be the kid who is generous be the kid who is happy for other people be the kid who does the right thing be the kind kid!

Today we did a Whetu Challenge! We had to try to make the tallest tower made out of newspaper! We worked in groups of three or four. I worked with Shirley, Cohen and, Daris. I think that I did better than last time we did this challenge. We didn´t get to measure it though because it could not free stand so we had to take it apart. We started off making a base and then we had to roll a lot of newspaper together so that it was really strong! We made it nearly as tall as the roof but it could not touch the roof because that would be counted as cheating!

 Today I worked with Pippa and we made friendship bracelets for our friends! I made six of them, One for Shirley, Tayla, Lola, Haven, Scarlett, and me!  I also made a cute yellow little box!!! 

Term 2 Week1 Today we did play make create and the book was BE YOU! I and Shirley worked together! The thing we did design and we made a poster thing about us!!!  We got a box and cut it in half and then we pasteled it like a rainbow! It was really hard sharping over the pastel. My favorite thing about It is our butterflies because we colored in butterflies and wrote describing words about ME!! I think what worked well was everything really because I and Shirley worked well together! I would change the sharpie because it didn't really go through the pastel and so you can't really see.   

  Term 2, Week 1 2021 During Term 1 we have been practicing our addition and subtraction knowledge through the online program called NumBots.  At the start, it was super easy but progressively got more challenging. I am now on the Gold level of NumBots.   I enjoy NumBots because it's really fun and it helps a lot with my adding and subtracting. On the story, I find some quite hard and challenging but it's still really really fun! What I find challenging is the challenge place because it has a lot of levels to pass and some of them are really hard!! This week we have started TTRockstars.  This is an online program which helps us to learn our timetables. First, we had to complete 10 Studio games which were really hard because they had basic facts right up to 12 x 12. Now that the hard part is over we can play in the Garage and start learning our tables. I think that TTRockstars is really fun and a great learning experience for Times Tables! I find studio quite challenging becau

 Today we did Play, Make, Create! The book was Up The Creek and I worked with Alena and we did a design and made a propeller to steer and control the canoe. I think that the propeller that we made went well because it can spin around like a propeller actually does! I think that I would change the size of the canoe we made but otherwise, I think we did well.  The propeller was very hard to make because we had to hot glue the things together and then stick a skewer through the middle.  We also made a manual on how to use the remote we made and how to turn it on and what not to do.
