STEAM challenge

Hi bloggers today in Toara we did a STEAM challenge which stands for Science, technology, engineering, art and maths . We had to get into groups of 5, Our challenge was to make a tower/table and fit as many books on top as we can The books approximately weighed about a couple kg's. We were only aloud to use 10 pieces of paper and 1 metre of tape. Our group worked quite well but sadly we didn't finish our tower, I didn't think it would hold any books. But I was wrong  even though we didn't finish our tower managed to hold 10 books!  Have you ever done a STEAM challenge like this before?

Chocolate chip cookie review

In Mr Shaw's maths we got to bake what ever we wanted our group chose chocolate chip cookies. Sadly our cookies didn't turn out to well they all joined together so we had to cut them into slices they were very crumbly, But they still tasted good. We also used way to much butter but not enough flour. Have you ever baked chocolate chip cookies before?

Hectors Dolphin video

Hi bloggers, in literacy we have been learning about endangered animals in New Zealand. We read articles about Sea birds, Kiwis, NZ sea lions and Hectors dolphins. We got to choose one of those endangered animals to do a slideshow/ video on. I chose the Hectors dolphin because I have seen one before and they are very cute, cool and fascinating.  

Have you ever seen a Hectors dolphin before?

Matariki Art

Hi bloggers in Toara we have been learning about Matariki.

For the past couple weeks we have been doing Matariki art.

We practised drawing it on draft copies of paper. I decided to do mountains and stars in the background.

The mountains represent  Mount Cook and the stars represent Matariki. 

Once we had our draft copies finished we got a piece of A4 foam and drew our art onto the foam in a pen.

Then we painted our foam in two colours of our choice. I chose purple & orange, After that  you put a 

piece of  paper on the top of your foam and print it to the paper. I liked doing this art because it turned 

out really cool. Next time I could make it neater. Have you ever done Matariki art like this before?

Perimeter, Volume and Area

 

Hi bloggers for the past couple weeks we have been learning about perimeter, volume and Area. We did some work sheets and quizzes on the perimeter, volume and area. Then we had to do a slide of what the perimeter, volume and Area is, and how to work it out. Do you like finding and working out the perimeter, volume and area?

S.T.E.A.M Challenge

Hi bloggers every Wednesday we do some science today we did something called S.T.E.A.M which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. The challenge was to drop a egg from the top of the stairs with out it cracking, we got into groups of 6. You were aloud to use 3 pieces of  A4 paper

1 pieces of A5 paper  2 metres of tape, a plastic bag and some string. Our idea was to put the egg inside and scrunch up the paper to make a nest to protect the egg we taped it all together and put it in the plastic bag we had 25 minuted to do this. And then miss Osborn dropped it from the top of stairs, Sadly ours cracked.    Have you ever done a challenge like that before?
