Inquiry

Explain the invention progress:Well first we started off getting all the materials like the socks and jandals.Then we cut off the top of the sock so it is an ankle sock.Next we gave the jandals to Mr Tyson so he can saw them to our foot size because they were my sisters ones.After that we started painting under the jandal and on the sock so it looked tropical.Then I went home and glued them with hot glue gun.

The most enjoyable part was:Painting them.It was fun painting them because we got to paint pineapples, tropical trees and the sunset.

I think the hardest part was:Writing the description because I haunt made my invention yet and we had to describe it.

If I was to do it again I would:try my hardest to get in the finals to meet the dragons and show my creation to them.

The most boring part was:Waiting for Mr Tyson to cut the jandals because there was a whole line of people.

The most funny part was:When we had to get the top rubber bit off but it wouldn't work with scissors so I came up with the idea of sawing it off with a ruler.

The easiest part was hot glue gun because my dad helped me with it and he was quick at putting the glue on the jandal.

What felt like talking to the dragons.It was quite nerve racking because I have never done that before.

The most messy part was.when we were cutting up the socks to be ankle size

Buggies survey reflection

                                 Buggie Survey

This term for our inquiry topic we have been studying and learning about buggies also known as prams for babies.We have been going around the school and collecting data with questions we have made on Google docs.We get atleast 5 sheets of the survey we made and interview mothers or fathers with prams or if they got a toddler.We go out before the bell goes because that is when they are there.We had to go in a group of 2 or 3 and I went with Danelle.

Here is the link to where the survey is.

Here is the link that you can see the data in a pie graph.

Math

                                                                 MATH

Last week for math we did a grid thing that we had to work out the coordinates and use a compass. We had to rite down a question and ask someone to try and work it out. Here is a picture of it in my book.

Here is the back where the answers to the questions are.

The work i have been doing in my group is ratios.Ratios are for knowing how much you need if you double or triple or anything like for example  

In a pool you need 3 litres of water and 2 cups of chlorine in the pool so as a ratio it will look like this.

                                                    3:2                                                   
and if you were to triple it all you do is 3x3 and 2x3.So the answer would be:                       9:6                                       

Trip to corban estate.

                                            Corban Estate Art trip.

"Yay!!" We finally made it to the Corban estate art trip that we were driving to forever! Vroom. The enormous bus parked on the big concrete drive.As we made it into The Corban Estate building,We went into a oom with loads of tables to make our creations on. There was interesting art work n the bench next to the instructor,Amy.As she talked an art creator came to the front and explained that he was the one that made the artwork i was determind to check out.The art creator was called Andrew Hall.He started crafting stuff and collecting stuff that people see as rubbish and made something out of them since he was 4 years old.Yesterday i enjoyed that as i was making my creation,which was a snake.I came up with more and more ideas.It was challenging making the snake because it was really long.Even longer than me!But my dad helped me a bit.If i was to do it again i would maybe think of more and more ideas to make it look better!

Rapunzel

                            Rapunzel
Rapunzel!!! Rapunzel!!! Today we went to the hall to watch a rapunzel show.But it had a little twist in it because they put Simon Cowell in it.But instead of Simon Cowell they did Simon cow.But his real name was Jack.He has a cow costume on so the name matched the outfit.Rapunzels real name was Jane and rupee was Ben.Simon cow and Rupee was a lot of different characters.Like pinokio.It has a twist in it because they had x factor.I liked it because it had x factor.The show was 1 hour long.Then it finished.

wearable art journey

Wearable Art Journey!!♡♥♡♥♡♥:D
Monday
9am
Today we are going to start making our wearable art clothes.Like tshirt, shorts, dress, skirt or even a hat.

Afternoon

Today we started making our wearable art clothes like skirt, t-shirts, shorts and more.I found out that stapling the plastic bags and newspaper onto my plastic bag dress would be hard.I wondered that if I put it on it would break apart but it didn't.The most challenging bit is going to be stapling the stuff on.Now I need to staple the rest of the newspaper on and the plastic bags.Tomorrow I will start make a hat to match my dress.The most fun bit was trying it on to see if it looked good.

Tuesday
On wearable art this is my design so far.

Today I need to work on :

●sticking the paper on.

●Stapling the plastic bags.

●Add on a pair of shoes.

●Adding the leaves on.

Wednesday

9:05am

Yesterday I completed the top of my dress by adding more newspaper around the top with some help from graces mum.I had difficulty with the stapling the newspaper because I was doing it by myself.I found out that instead of sticking paper bags on it I should add leaf shaped plastic on. So will look more like a earth element and then i stuck them on the bottom of the dress.Working by myself is fun because I can think of more ideas and do it the way I want the dress to look like.My outfit reflects my element because I cut plastic into leave shapes.I also put on green feathers so it's earth and I have a green feathery hat.The torbay learning model helps me because it says plan so I think and organise.

Thursday 9:20am

Overall I feel that the dress didn't turn out the way I planned and it came out much better.The biggest success was that it looks earthy so I have the right element.My most enjoyable part was sticking on the feathers because they really show my element.It shows my element because it is green and feathery.The hardest was sticking the leaves on my dress because I was wearing the dress so I couldn't really see where I was sticking them on.If I was to do this again I won't change a thing.Because I think it looks exactly like earth.I have learnt that when you make something it doesn't turn out the way you think.The plan changes and it ends up you don't do what you planned.

                    New Guinea Pig

Bam!I banged the door shut.I finally arrived home from my sisters enormous school.My dad was saying that the guinea pigs got soaked from the horrible weather.I peered in the new brown box.As i looked in i saw a tiny figure laying on the rough hay.It was a new born baby guinea pig!After a while we came up with the name jack.

After a Long boring weekend I had a go at carrying Jack.When i tried and i grabbed him,he started doing a deafening cry for Frankie,the mum.I put him back and he stopped immediately.As i kept on holding him repeatingly he went quieter and quieter.I saw the mum cuddle him a lot and they would have no idea i was watching.

Now Jack does not cry that much anymore and Frankie doesn't mind.Sometimes I see them snuggle up together and doze for a bit.As Jack got older and stronger he kind of seperated from Frankie.”I cant wait to have another guinea pig!”I say to my mum in a excited way.

When jack turned 1 week old his ginger started to spread,over the brown and white like a poisonous gas that killed millions of people in world war 1.But Frankie stayed the same,Black and White.

Now that Jack is a bit older,his ginger has stopped spreading.”Next time i get guinea pigs i hope they are fluffy like Jack is!!”
