My favourite Cultural dance was my one that I was in Kapa Haka my favourite part about was our Haka we had to do it as loud as I can!

Tote Bags (Gala Day)

Our inquiry is on of the best we have had in a while, we are making tote bags. We are doing this for the earth and sustainability. Room Hauraki is making tote bags Room Waitamata is making soap and Room Manukau is making recycled paper. I am learning that the earth is beautiful and what we do to it it does something back, good or bad. And also this it is good to know how to sew in the first place. The steps to making the bag is you get two squares of fabric same size and also the size you want your bag to be. If you do a design on your bag do it before you connect both of the squares together. before you sew it you pin it so it stays where you want it. If you do have a design put on the inside of the bag so later you can turn it out and it will be there on the outside. after that before you turn the inside out you put the straps on and pin that drop the foot on the sewing machine the go in a square but each side you go over it three times. on each side, six centermeters from the edge. The hardest part wasn't the whole this it was trying to find your right taste of materials. the sewing took a while to get used to but once you get it you zoom through it but you need to remember to keep a straight line. Now I found this task very very fun. After all of this your're done and hopefully have a Tote Bag!

This is the end of the tutorial.

Hope you give this a try and if you don't understand just search it up easy enough. (isn't it!)

Please leave a nice positive and watch out for my new posts send me your blog and I will come and check it out!! 

Why are we making Tote Bags?

Because it's for our earth plastic bags are killing and taking over our earth so we better all get on board quick and fix it!!!!

If you care you will under stand, It's all the same with straws it isn't biodegradable. What that means is that it doesn't break down it kind of will but get smaller and smaller and beat anything in it's way. See what I mean? You need to care so stop sitting there and stand up this is our earth we are alive and plastic isn't.

Good Luck!

Reading Book Review Cool Nukes.

 Over term 4 we have been doing our book review we had 2 choices Sunken forest and Cool Nukes, I did mine on Cool nukes By Des Hunt a New Zealand writer with amazing addictive books. Last year when I did an Des Hunt book I did The Tooth I also did a book review on that somewhere on my blog. I would recommend reading his books 10 out of 10. Some of his story's have a real hit on you like you are the main character and you kind of feel his emotions. The professor has gone missing the gang DEATH WOLVES are working for Dr Abbott the boss of the university Who fired the professor in the first place. Boom! the Lab of professor Walters goes up in flames what will happen to professor Walter Mayhew The books about a kid called Max and Jensen also Cleo that have to make a cold fusion machine but what will happen on the way to victory?
This activity was super super fun it took two weeks for me mostly because of the reading of the actual
Book! Hope you enjoy! Leave a nice positive comment below Please!!!!  

Maths Trip around New Zealand!

So at the start of term 4 the Te Waka Ako cluster did a maths slideshow about a trip around New Zealand on a Budget. We had to do 39 slides it was easy and hard but the hardest part was the boats because on the page I didn't really understand it but then I saw the side and bam I finished the slide. The Petrol math was the second hardest because you had to understand google maps.





I hope you send me information on the comments because the slides will tell you most you need to know.

Magical World of Crazy Science...

Today on Monday morning, we went into our school hall for Crazy Fun about Science by Richard and Robyn.  It was awesome my favourite part was when he put a hairdryer vertical pointing upwards and put a ping pong ball above it and the air was compressed so that meant it floated. Also he told us about nappies and inside them there is a powder that turns a liquid into a jelly solid he turned a yellow dyed water into a jelly solid. After that he asked us what fire needs we answered: Oxygen, Spark, Fuel (Wood, Gas) Then he put chemical with fire then became a fire dragon and the fire shot out and made a stream of fire, The chemical was grain with made chemical reaction. the other part was the Leaf Blower and put a light pool ball on top and it hover above in the air and it followed the stream of air when he moved it like it was on a piece of string but was only air.  But his first thing he showed us was the rocket it was Awesome! It was a bunch of chemicals and Physics put together then Bang! It popped up in the air and Hit the roof with a bang! I wonder how he made the wooden Figure at the start float without anything?

It was awesome and fun and wacky Feel free to leave a nice positive comment!   😀

Poems

Hello Blogging World!

This is My Camp Poem  about Fussy Kids, We had to make our own poem Mine is about Kids being fussy and liking everything apart from Moving, Please leave a nice thoughtful comment and tell me what you want to know about the poem and Camp! The Screencastify will tell you everything! When we went to camp the day we went I was so exited but this poem does not tell you that because it's not about me it's about how fussy kids  don't like everything and anything apart from beds. when we were on the bus I did not know anything apart from one thing to complain about the length of the drive it was horrid, But the Breaks helped a lot especially the Hamilton Gardens they were special!

 Thanks for Watching!
