Me and Our Group Tennis Ball Tower Challenge.

Tennis Ball Tower Challenge

Today for our Whetu Challenge we worked in a group to build a tower out of newspaper, 2 straws and sellotape. We needed to make our tower strong enough to hold a tennis ball and be able to stand alone (not leaning on anything or needing support).

Today I worked with Melissa and Xanthe because they are (sometimes good to work with) and I like working with them.

At first we had trouble with Making it stand by itself because it is very well, thin.

The easiest thing was making the main part/ the thin bit because when I had heard that we were doing this I had a plan in mind how we were going to make the main part.

The best part of our tower was the bottom because it was very strong because of it being to heavy by adding lots of newspaper.

Our tower looked like a Toilet Plunger or one of those Dynamite activators because of the Two bits at the top and the bit at the bottom.


In the end it became a huge mess it could not stand or hold a ball. I think we could have done better by rolling up more newspaper and putting it by the sides and have a nice bit at the top for the tennis ball.

The Gnome Maths Mystery...

Me and my Partner Detective. Mia and Detective Teana have figured out who culprit is... We think it is Captain Steve! We have figured out all the clues with our Secret Skills. We think it is Steve Because he is the only one that had  a Cap was Male, was Standing and was less than 30cm! He has been one naughty gnome!! This is our proof and working out:

My Pet/ Blog challenge

This is my pet I have three but I did Zias because I dont really know how to spell "Picilos" name but yeah.. This is my Pet Zias!! Though I cant do a Photo because I dont have one but I will edit it tomorrow and put her on (hopefully!!)  Though I found one that looks like her.

 I think this was pretty cool since I like to read but I am not a expert with Dirt bikes. This is my Read and Predict.

Catapult Challenge With Tayla and Teana!

Whetu Catapult Challenge!!!

The things that I used to make my catapult were: 7 Popsicle Sticks, 1 Plastic Spoon and 5 Rubber Bands.

To make my catapult I worked with Teana and Tayla I chose them because I work well with them and I know that because I have worked with them before.

The most challenging part was the assembling and trying to figure out which one to choose, because The assembling was hard because we had never made a catapult before, we had trouble with the spoon because it is very bendy and because of the rubber bands! The figuring out was hard too because we wanted to find one that was easy but could go far or high.

Our best results were for the Highest One. Because we had gotten into the FINALS!

Overall I think that Catapults need time and patience because you would have to be patient with the Rubber bands and it might be easier if we had more experience from it.

I had an OK time with it because I got kinda annoyed it since we had a time limit!

My Math's Mystery!

This is Mine, Melissa's and Xanthe's Answer for the Math's mystery! We think it was.... Florence! She was the only one with a frog and is a princess. She is the one who stole the ending to the book! Xanthe thought it was Jenny with googly eyes, I thought it was going to be Nigella with the fairy wings and Melissa did not pick because she was to focused on what she was doing. This is what our answer was!

My Emoji Blog Challenge

These are my Emoji's that I have made I made Three, Yes Three! Because I had finished my first one and wanted to do another. The first one looks like a sick/ stay away kinda emoji. I felt like making it because of Covid-19 and how we still have too stay in our little bubble. My 2nd and 3rd was just fun. I made the 2nd one dedicated to my brothers Birthday! I made a one with a party hat and a smiling! The other one is like when your annoyed but also sad and angry. I would use the first one for if you wanna come over but with that emoji as if I am saying come over just stay back. Then I would use the 2nd one Is just if it was  my birthday and I had THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVERRR! Then for the 3rd one I would send it to someone as if I am annoyed at you and sad.  These are my Emoji's!!!
