kea distance learning activity!!!

 For kea distance learning our activity was to build a rocket so I built a rocket.

First, I gathered some materials, but I could not find any cardboard so I used cardboard rolls.

Next, I tried to find some glue, but I couldn't find any so I used so loon bands instead to connect it and I also slit it so it would slide in.

Finally, I secured the rocket with more loon bands so it wouldn't break. THE END!!!✌

Here's mine but It can't fly:)

The tunnel part 2

If you have not read my first story of The tunnel go read it before you read this one: THE TUNNEL

                                                         THE TUNNEL PART 2

The Week after the first tunnel we did storychat again and again I decided to make another tunnel but this time I asked Sarah and Jaz to help me make it.

First, we got the little red table in waka rua and put it sideways so the ends are facing one end of the classroom then we got some colourful chairs and put them on the end of the table going sideways as well then we put sheets on top.

Next, we got the little blue table then laid it the same as the other red table then added more chairs. After we put the chairs down we put more sheets on top so there were no light holes then, I tested it it was fun to go through but it was small and narrow so no one else could go through.

After that, Whaea Sarah started to take photos of our tunnel before it was time to pack up so I quickly took a photo of it as well with my Chromebook.

Finally, we packed up the chairs, tables, and sheets and line up at the island ready to go into the fale.

                                                                                 THE END!!!

THE TUNNEL

On Friday we had storychat and for storychat, there was task and activities so I decided to do one. I decided to make a tunnel Luminous helped me.

First, we got the little blueish grey chairs the lined them up so the tip of them touched the other side.

Next, we got sheets and put them on top so no one could see the exit. We ran out of the little chairs so we improvised with the big colourful chairs.

Then, we made an obstacle course near the end with the big chairs because there was a line at the bottom.

After that, we used the science fair boards around the big chairs and then another sheet on top of the big chairs then there was another big chair for the exit.

A little while later, I made an opened and closed sign and also a one person at a time sign. Mrs. M.R gave Me and Luminous some tokens and if someone wanted to go through the tunnel we would write their names on the tokens and when they were at the end they got out and gave their used token to Luminous then got on with their work.

Finally, we packed up then put all the chairs and everything else we used away because some boys were being silly in it, but overall it was really fun.  THE END!

Flight forces

          Do you know what the four flight forces are? Well, I do if you read this It will tell you!!!

On Monday Kea did a science experiment about the flight forces, Whaea Sarah introduced it to us she also showed us a video about the four flight forces Thrust, Drag, Weight, and Lift then we got a piece of Flax a Timer and a Sheet of paper then we got into our groups I was with Belinda, Rakaii, and Junior went out on the courts it felt windy and cold, it was so cold it actually felt like a bunch of juices on your body then we decided our roles, The roles were, thrower, timer, measurer and recorder. Rakaii was the thrower, Belinda was the recorder, Junior was the timer and I was the measurer. On the count of three, Rakaii threw the flax while Junior was recording the time as soon as the flax stopped and hit the ground Junior stopped the time and then I measured with my feet while Junior told Belinda the time then I told Belinda the distance in feet.

We were testing this because we wanted to test the flight forces.   A little while later we went inside and shared back what we did whose result was the best and was the experiment fun my result was the best because I got 52 ft in 5.11 seconds. The experiment was super fun. Everyone wanted to keep on going but it was time to pack up so we gave the flax, timers, and papers to Whaea Sarah then we sat on the mat for morning tea.

    Have you ever done an experiment like this? What was your time and distance? Can your time and distance beat my record?
