• Working on our impact project is fun because it is exciting to start building.

• Our AWS is challenging especially 10 quick questions.
• The filming for the MADE awards is challenging because it is hard to find the right angle.  

What are you looking forward to next term?

I am looking forward to the Learning in the Making Conference because it is a time to be creative. I am also looking forward to swimming again because it gets really hot.

Art

Whetu Art

This term Whetu has been working on string art the first step was to find a template to find you template you had to look on pinterest. Once you had found a template that suits you. You would then blu tack it to your wood to keep it still so you could hammer around your template. I found the nailing easier than the wrapping around the nails with the string. I fell behind because I was doing art with Mrs B and got most of my art done in one day. I have still not finished my art but hopefully it is done by this Friday. I have chosen an arrow to do for mine. I choose an arrow because not many people were doing one. I am happy with what I have done so far and can't wait to see it finished.

Olympics

The Rio Olympics 2016

This Year the Olympics are being held at Roi they start on August the fifth. There are 42 summer sports played in the Olympics. The Summer Olympics are held every four years. This is the first time Roi has ever held the Olympics. New Zealand has been part of the Olympics since London 1908. Over 24 years New Zealand  has collected 99 medals. 42 golds, 18 silvers and 39 bronzes. Its hundredth medal should come at Rio 2016. New Zealand shows the most success in sports like Rugby, Golf, Rowing and Canoe sprint.

I am looking forward to watching gymnastics rhythmic, gymnastics artistic and swimming. The reason why I like watching gymnastics artistic and gymnastics rhythmic because  you don't see these sports played much.  The reason why I like watching swimming is because it is interesting what times they get.

Speech

My speech

My speech is about the Eiffel tower I chose this topic because the Eiffel tower is a very interesting and has amazing history. This topic was easy to find information about but hard to put it together. It was hard to put together because there was so much to say and I did not know how to order it. The reason why it was easy to find information was because the Eiffel tower is such a well known monument. I was thinking of changing my topic but when I changed a few things it was easy to work with.  I am a bit nervous for presenting my speech to everyone.  The hardest part of writing my speech was putting it all together. The hardest part of presenting for me is to speak loud enough for people to hear me.    

Home work

Homework

I got my idea from my birthday cake because the cylinder look like a perfect unicorn neeck. My Mum helped me a little but I did most of the work. I paper mached over the cylinder, then for the head I used a balloon.  But the balloon had shrunk so it all collapsed. I had to find  a new idea. It end up being a drum with a unicorn painted on it. It was not what I want but it was still cool. I liked the hamburger because it was a clever idea and I liked the head that Georgia did because it looked like a Picasso head.
