Egg Drop Challenge

Whetu Egg Drop Challenge

Today for our Whetu Challenge we had to create something that would hold our egg and keep it from cracking when our groups dropped them from the Grandstand.

We used only 3 straws, some scissors for cutting, 2 balloons, some newspaper, an egg, a roll of tape and an old sock.

 I think we did super well in our drop because our egg came out unharmed and we dropped right at a good time because there was no wind to blow it around while it was in the process of dropping.

I worked with Chloe and Lola because I know they are both great creators and that I can work well with them because they are always extremely focused on what they are doing.

I think the best part was when we drew some evil eggs on our balloons and both eggs were saying       "Yo!"  it was really funny and we all cracked up when we drew it on the balloons. ( I hope you got the joke!)

In the end, I'm really really happy with how we did and I don't think we could have done any better at all.

LOTW week 2

For our letter of the week for week 2, the letter was P! Once I had thought of my ten words I tried to think of a way to present my words that was different from last week. The first good idea that came to my mind was hot air balloons! I don't know why I chose this idea but I thought it would look cool. In the end, I'm really happy with the final result.

Letter of the Week

The letter of the week for week one was B! For a couple of my sentences and words, I wanted to go with something different to other people. For my proper noun, I went with Belinda. A proper noun could be the name of a person or your dog or cat. I don't think anyone else went with the proper noun I went with which I think is good because I really thought about something different. Another one that we had to do with letter B was an onomatopoeic word. I went with BOOM because that was the first one the came to my head and I thought it sounded like a really WOW word. Once I had written down all of my nouns and things like that I had to think of a way to present it on slides. I went with a girl sort of having a vision with all my words and nouns to do with B. I'm extremely proud of my work and I hope to do something different next week.

Term 2 Reflection

The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term is my Number of the Day because I have learned way more about things that I had no idea about when I started such as Roman Numerals and I have really built up my knowledge just as well as challenge myself to try and succeed.


Something that has challenged me this term has been Maths Investigation because I learnt something new and was able to understand more just as well as open my brain to new knowledge that I would challenge myself on.


The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was the tennis ball tower challenge because I got to work with my friends who I know I can work well with and I was able to share my ideas and think outside of the box.


The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was PE because I really enjoyed getting myself moving and becoming fitter than I was last year and feeling like I have accomplished something by working hard and really pushing myself to be better every time.


An aim I have for my learning is to always be aiming for a Supernova and never settle for something I know I can do better on because I want my work to be amazing and I want other people to think that too.

My Ultimate Kiwi Holiday

For Whetu's blog challenge this week we had to make a slide of our ultimate kiwi holiday! For my ultimate kiwi holiday I want to go to Queenstown. I have been there before but it's just an amazing place and I would love to go there again. I actually found this quite hard because we had a budget of $1,000 dollars so it was hard to stay within that. I rate my work a Supernova because I really thought about all the little thing like my budget and how much I was allowed to spend on certain things.

Maths Mystery

This week for the Maths Mystery it was all about codes. I think that doing an all codes mystery this week was great because I was able to improve and get better. I don't think it was too hard because I got through it reasonably quick. I had so much fun decoding all the words on the slide and I would love to do it again.
