Toy Tech

The creative masters looked at every part of the party popper and saw what parts needed to be changed. We experienced the party popper to see what parts work.

In the beginning, we changed the cup, the filling and the outside look. We changed the parts except for the stopper, the weight, the hole on the bottom of the cup and the elastic band.

Afterwards we thought about what our design would be for the cup.

To finish up we changed some parts because they didn't work well but that's ok .

I enjoyed doing this activity because it help me learn about party poppers.

Balance

 Today I used frisbee equipment to help me with my balance.

First I got into pairs then I used the frisbee to throw to my partner.

Next I  acted like a dog and also use the frisbee technique to balance while runing and jumping to catch the frisbee.

Lastly I played ultimate frisbee in groups. I had to use the same technique to play ultimate frisbee.

I like the the sport that I played today it help me with my balance. 

Where things are in maori

We learnt about words. 

We first went with whaea Odie to learn matoa and maui. Maui means left and matau means right. 

 For example Kea hea te aporo Kei roto i te peke. This means where is the apple? Is it  inside the bag.

The mother butterfly lays eggs and they turn into caterpillars and makes a crysalys and then turns into a butterfly. it takes 9-14 days for a caterpillar to turn into a butterfly.

Then we had to write a introduction about how chocolate is made. Did you know that chocolate is made by cocoa powder? Firstly dried cocoa beans will be roasted, then heated and blended with food coloring sugar and flavouring, When the chocolate is made they will wrap it in paper.
