Mia's Egg Drop Challenge!

This is our Whetu Challenge for this week. 

I had done it with two people I have not done with before, I did it with Amy and Jessica. I liked working with them because they liked my ideas and they were not scared to share theirs. 

One of the hardest parts was probably when we had to plan what we were doing there were so many ideas and cool ways to present them tho we did not have the type of supplies we needed and that's why it was a challenge. Also, it was really annoying because the wind was destroying our creation!!!

The easy part was putting on the sellotape and blowing up the balloons, well because it's really simple and easy. 

My favourite part was seeing the egg drop and seeing peoples reactions and how they all said Ooooo. I loved making this creation and I liked how our group did. We thought that even tho it did not survive it was really good and we had some new ideas on how to improve next time!

For our creation supplies, we had: Three straws, 

wool, scissors, sellotape, a sock, newspaper, 2x balloons and a paper bag. 

I actually did not realize how much supplies we had!!

My Discovery (On slides)

This is my discovery about endangered animals. I love animals and want them to be healthy and treated just like us. I really wanted to know more about them and why they are endangered. The message in my discovery is that we need to try and save more animals from going extinct. There are only 60 more Amur leopards in the wild! That's why I have made these slides.

My Reflection

My Term 2, 2020 Reflection


The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term is our workshops because it’s a good way for me to take a break from my learning and have a bit of fun. I also like it because my friends can also join in but at the same time, we can be silent and work independently.

Something that has challenged me this term has been Number of the day. It challenges me because we have not done it before and I don’t really know roman numerals and the fractions that’s why it challenges me because of the things I struggled with but I am getting better at it.

The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was the Egg carton challenge because I did not get a chance to do it over the lockdown and I missed out. So I liked doing this one because I had lots of egg cartons at home, I also liked it because we could create something that could be chucked out to something fun and creative.

The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was bean growing because I love planting and growing plants. I also liked art because I have never done that type of art. That type of art was cool because there were different kinds of patterns and flowers you could do.

An aim I have for my learning is to get my essay to 500 words or more. I want to be able to get most things done by the end of the term. I don’t really care what it is, I just want to achieve something good or amazing like a supernova. That’s why I try to put so much on my blog with an amazing description, I like it that way.

Math's Mystery with Xanthe.

Me and Xanthe have finished our Math's Mystery/Codes. I found that this is one of my most challenging Math's Mystery I have done so far. I think it is because I have never done this kind of maths mystery before and that it is new to me. Me and Xanthe were very confused at the beginning but we found out how to do it and we got to the finish! This is our Math's Mystery.
