Student led toolkits

On Thursday a small group from Waikowhai Primary School was chosen to represent our school for student led tool kits. We picked two sessions we wanted to play and students from other schools taught us how to use/play these games. The first session I was in incredibox. Incredibox box is an incredible game to play it is used to make cool beats and music, with this game you can also record music and download it to your drive. After that we went to our second session CODETASTRA-PHE. This game was about how to animate your name. We had to use a lot of different techniques for this to be able to work. By the end of this I finally was able to animate my name. The lunch bell rang and it was time for lunch, we played for about 45 minutes. in those 45 minutes I saw my cousin. Finally lunch had finished and we had a problem solving competition. Waikowhai Primary School Came second for most creative tower. the problem solving competition was... They had to make a tower that is 10cm long and it has to be able to hold 100 grams of weight. We finally finished and it was time to say goodbye. Waikowhai said thank you and we left back to school. This was my experience. hope you enjoyed it

fun building

This week I created a small model tent as a math task. To make this we used modeling clay / Plasticine toothpicks and a small piece of cardboard. While making this model I made three different shapes a rectangle,square and a cube. Some of the problems I had was it kept collapsing because of all the movement, weight and pressure being put on it. I Learnt that less clay can go a long way because it's a very thick texture. The good thing about this task was it helped me to find different techniques to use while building. This is my work, I hope you enjoy. Blog you later.

Overall I  think the process of this task was a little bit hard but it gave me a challenge. Half way through i was so close to being finished but it collapsed because the pressure i was putting on it.
