Table tennis

This week my PE is table tennis. The first time I practiced table tennis was on Thursday. On Thursday I played with Ben M, Kayden and Josh in Room 3. Then on Friday I played with Ben M in Room 3 backspace, but then we got moved into Room Two . To play table tennis you need two table tennis bats and a table tennis ball. To play you need to hit the ball into your half and it needs to bounce onto the other persons half to serve. I had fun even though we weren't playing to win. I  had played table tennis in the school holidays at Mt Ruapehu but I enjoyed playing it again.
Something that I am proud of is how hard I tried with my eye coordination.
Something that challenged me was keeping the ball on the table.
The learning muscle I used was my collaboration muscle.

Art

I have been learning about perspective in art. Perspective is making something that's from close up to far out into the distance. I did it by making a fat track then it got skinnier and skinnier until it was gone to the vanishing point.

Something that challenged me was filling in the white gaps with oil pastels. Using oil pastels are hard to use without smudging it. To help you shake the paper a little bit. I enjoyed designing it because I love making art!

Matariki

Totara hub was learning about Matariki.
matariki is about celebrating the Maori new year but there one is in June for some reason I do not know.
There is some different activities the activity I have been learning to sew.

This is me making my matariki art.

In sewing we taped a Marae to a window then we grabbed a real thin piece of one soft side and one hard side (the hard side is the glue) piece of paper. We taped it to the window because that makes light and easier to see the Maori house to trace it out. Once we traced it out we chose our cotton, I chose red with black patterns. I ironed it together and it looked pretty fantastic.  We then made stars and sticked them on. The muscle I used to get out of the learning pit was my noticing muscle because I noticed my line of sewing was either to small or to big and I noticed how the model looked. 

Retell writing

Retell writing is Retelling a fairy-tale.
My Retell writing is about the four little Steve's (it's sort of like the three little pigs except there's four of them and it minecraft style.

I am proud of this sentence-

"Meanwhile Ben was making a house out of wood in a cave and pretty much everything inside and out was made out of wood."

because I think I have used lots of detail and Mrs hill thinks i have used the sentence starter ladder learning tool (but i actually didn't)
Something that I enjoyed was making the characters because I put my friends in it and my favorite youtuber, dantdm it stand for the diamond minecart.

Here is my writing so far:

One fine evening four little steves were having afternoon tea and mum Alex said this house is too small for all of us so you will have to go and explore to make your own houses! The four little steves were named Ryan, Ben, Dantdm and Jacob. all the three Steve's did not like the idea but they said a long goodbye to mum and mum said “watch out for the big bad mobs they will demolish you!” Ryan Ben Dantdm and Jacob took the warning. that evening the little Steve’s set of to invent their own creations of a house. Ryan had a wander and Ryan gathered more than enough dirt blocks to make his own house.  It took him about half an hour to make it but he made a fine house made out of dirt blocks and it was a in-ground dirt block house. Dantdm and Jacob then saw Ryan’s house and did not like it so they were not  thinking about making a lab (because they like science) next door made out of iron so they made a lab a mile away from him and it was a fine huge iron lab with a in-wall coffee machine. Meanwhile Ben was making a house out of wood in a cave and pretty much everything inside and out was made out of wood. But then out of nowhere came a big bad creeper, knocked on the door Ben got creeped out because now one would randomly jump down a cave and find a suspicious house. So he “Who is it?” in a trembling voice and the creeper said “it is your mum, Alex” ok he said, he opened the door and the creeper BLEW UP! And sadly Ben never made it. After that the big bad creeper came to Ryan’s house the big bad creeper knocked on Ryan’s door Ryan said “who is it?” in a brave voice  the big bad creeper said “it is your mum, Alex” Ryan opened the door and the big bad creeper BLEW UP!! Ryan sadly did not make it either. After he killed two innocent steves he wanted more so he went to Dantdm’s and Jacob’s laboratory but luckily Jacob and dantdm made random traps everywhere around the lab, so the big bad creeper stood on one of the pressure plates and the sticky pistons opened up and the big bad creeper fell into a pit of lava and he sizzled, that was the end of the big bad wolf.

Science

In science I am writing about how to make ice cream.

I am proud of this sentence- 

• Sit them both in the ice cream container and shake until it turns into a solid state.

because I have used verbs, adverbs and vocab.

I enjoyed making ice cream because I have never made it that way before and I learnt... 
Can you finish this sentence Jacob?

Here is my writing about making ice cream.

Warning don't eat this if you're on a diet!

How to design vanilla ice cream

This project is about making vanilla ice cream. Do you like vanilla ice cream? If you don't just stop reading these instructions and do something else. Maybe play some games or something I don’t know it's up to you. But if you do keep reading.

Ingredients:

• Crushed ice
• Two table spoons of sugar
• Half cup of milk

• Measuring cup
• Large ziplock bag
• Small ziplock bag
• A bowl/bowls

• Tip the crushed ice slowly into  the large ziplock bag until it's halfway full.
• Tip 2 cups of salt into the large ziplock bag.
• Pour the half cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar and a quarter lid of vanilla essence into the small ziplock bag.
• Place the small ziplock bag in the big one.
• Put all of it into the ice cream container.
• Sit them both in the ice cream container and shake until it turns into a solid state.
• Now serve it up into some bowls and dig in!

personal writing

My personal writing is about ROBLOX you can build your own worlds I created my own world it had droids, zombies, 
soldiers with guns and even a sniper tower.

Personal writing is what you can write about what ever you want. I enjoyed writing about what I did in ROBLOX on the weekend because ROBLOX is my favorite game in the hole world.

This is a sentence I am proud of:

"It takes ages to defeat the giant demon spawn  once you defeat him it rains GEMS!! One gem (only one) is the Firestone gem that is the best gem in the game it is worth a lot of gold and looks awesome."

Because I think I did a lot of detail.

Technology

We are learning to solve problems in technology by planning and 
asking questions.

My question was 'how can I stop the possums from destroying the wild?'



I am learning to save the bush by building possum traps.

I keep thinking to myself if something would work or not on my plan. I changed my plan two times because I figured out that other wildlife wouldn't be able to get over the fence so I changed it and the other one was to intense.

Something that challenged me was sticking the cardboard together on the right places because the cardboard wouldn't stay up straight.

I asked myself a lot questions to think about how it would work or if it would work.

Technology was fantastic to do but not that easy to make.


 The materials I used were sellotape, scissors, cardboard, straws and a long toothpick.
