plane writing

It was a very exciting afternoon on Monday  because when me and all my friends  came in the classroom  Miss Davis said “ okay class we are making paper planes.” The  class was so happy. Before getting our piece of paper  we watched a video about how to make a paper airplane  and how it flies.The  movie said that  force is something that keeps a airplane high in the sky ,but the force is made from the wings on the airplane because the air goes through the  wings very fast which makes the airplane stay up.There’s  thrust and lift, thrust is when the airplane goes up in the sky but the paper airplane’s thrust is from you ,when you throw it. Lift is when it is in the sky. After that we got our piece of paper.

After getting our piece of paper we made our paper planes. Some people followed the instructions  on the video, some people made simple planes and some people made defalcate planes. I made my own version and it worked, after making our paper  airplane  we coloured it in and they all looked fabulous.

I waited anxiously for this moment to arrive, finally we got to have a competition of  flying our paper planes. Some of us were nervous and some of us were excited. I was both of them, but only a little bit nervous.  Miss  Davis said “ we are going to have turns in our group’s, and whose ever the winner out of each group will go to the finals.”  After a while we waited and then Miss Davis said ” let’s start the competition “ first the  blue group went first and Chaun won.Then the purple group went and Troy won. After that the orange  group went and Kelly won. Next my group went and Leigharna won, the last group went after us and  Kitione won. Finally they all versed each other and Kelly won so she got her name under the fake trophy.

After all that fun doing   the competition I felt a little bit sad and anxious in a happy way. I felt sad because I didn’t win, but I was just happy that I got to join in.

problem solving

       I learnt that you can solve problems when they are in words.

Tamarereti

Long ago  the sky was black and there was no stars. In the sea there lived a taniwha in the dark lake Taupo. The taniwha ate   you when you came out at night because he  slept in the daytime when the sun was out and the taniwha was scared of the sun, that’s why the taniwha didn’t come out at night.

The taniwha came out when the sky was black and dark. Everybody was asleep but if you came out at night the taniwha would gobble you up because his stomach was rumbling from starvingness. He was  a horrible creature because he ate everybody.The people could not come out at night they could not see.

One day Tamarereti woke up in his whare and he was starving. Then he went out to fish because his kete  was empty.Tamarereti went out fishing for himself and his family. He  caught three large fish. He was so  happy.

The wind went away so tamarereti couldn't get home so he decided to have a little sleep, but when he woke up the  sky was dark and the waka beached itself.

So he got out of the waka and made a fire with stick, go get his fish and roasted the fish. He knew he would be in trouble.

Saw some pebbles out of the corner  of his eye he  collected as many pebbles as he could and then he went out to the sea.After that he threw the pebbles in the sky and he found his way back home, but best of all the taniwha didn’t come out. When you look up at the sky you can see the seven sisters. That’s the story about the seven sisters and tamarereti.

We had a decision of a house, person or a robot, I chose a robot and a person. It was so fun. I used some triangles ,squares ,octagon and some rectangles.
