The most enjoyable part

The most enjoyable part was probably presenting it in front of Mrs K and Izzy because that was the least stressed part.

The hardest part was

The hardest part was working out all the outgoing costs because I couldn't remember all the numbers.

If I was to do this again I would

If I was to do this again I would make a more specific prototype because mine was just lego and cardboard. Plus I think my prototype is why I didn't get into the top three.

I have learned to

I have learned how to work out GST.

How did you feel talking to the dragons?

I felt really relaxed because I was rehearsed.

What was the most boring part?

The most boring part was working out all the outgoing costs because I didn't want to do it.

The most scariest moment

The most scariest moment was when Mrs K asked me a question that I hadn’t thought of because I didn't know what to say.

The most breathtaking moment

The most breathtaking moment was when I found out when Daniel got all of the dragons to go with his deal because he's my best freind.

Prams!

PRAMS!!!!!

This week we have been doing pram questionnaires. We used the answers so we can design our own prams. It was obvious that I had to have rubber wheels, also I need a 5.harness and a reclinable pram. And comfort & safety for the seat were very important.

Next we are going to make a pram & try virtually sell it.

Pangrams

Today we were learning about pangrams. A pangram is a sentence which includes all the letters in the English Alphabet. Here is mine.

Joe’s quiet wizards are very cool when they play with Zack but they fail when they play the magnificent xylophone.

Great job Adam

Paper Planes 22|10|14

This week, room 2 have been learning about paper planes. We have been making our own paper planes & have modyfied them to make them fly further. At the end of the week, we will be having a contest to find the plane that can fly the furthest. I made five different models. We had to come up with an assertion to make our planes fly further. My assertion was that the more slender the plane is the further it will fly. Our best plane flew 8.47 meters & our worst flew 1.4 meters. Below is my best plane.

Today, the 24|10|14 we made scatter plots about our planes. This is mine.
My assertion is that the more slender the wingspan the further it will fly.

My assertion was right but wrong at the same time because the plane with the most slender wingspan came second. But the plane with the second most slender wingspan came first..

Book Week Parade

Last Friday, our school went into the hall to showcase our outfits. We walked around the audience and hi-fived everybody. I was dressed up as Mr Stink from the David Walliams book. I wore my Dad's brown jacket, a black waistcoat over a white and blue shirt and black trousers. The jacket was tied together with a piece of string.

This is my book week activities

My reading

Andrew Hall

Yesterday, room 2 & 3 went to the Corban's Art Center. I made an aeroplane called the 787-8 Bodacious.

Yesterday I loved creating my aircraft because I found all these materials that is 'junk' & I made something out of it.

I found it tricky sticking the tail wings to the body because it kept falling off.

If I was to do this again, I would use the screws for the wings.
