Our elegant paper cup

Kia Ora. In Te Ngahere we had a STEAM Challenge. This STEAM Challenge is called the Paper Cup Challenge. Before we started the challenge we were separated into groups by numbers. We were group 12 and I was with Alana. We were the only group with only two team members. Our main goal of this challenge is to make a cup that held water without leaking, our second goal is to work as a team collaboratively.

If you have a chance to design a paper cup, what would your paper cup looks like?

Shadow of amazingness

Kia Ora. In Te Ngahere last week we’ve been doing a task master challenge. This taskmaster challenge is called the shadow of amazingness, we have to make shadow that will impress the taskmaster. First we have to get into groups and there is no limit for the group. We had 6 people in our group and they were Jacob, Mikaira, Cahlay, Chainberlin, Luke and I. We only had 5 minutes for preparing our shadows and each of us could only use one item. Our first idea was a motorbike but we thought that it was not possible for 6 people to make a motorbike. After that we still didn’t get an idea down so we just had a little brainstorm. At the end we all decided to do a art gallery. In our art gallery we have the statue of thinker, the statue of liberty, the American Gothic, mona lisa and the superman. After that we have to do a slam for the taskmaster so we could win the challenge. Unfortunately I was attending another event so I didn’t so this slam but I still want to thank our teammate for getting us to second place in the challenge. One of the things I thought hard was making up an idea but one thing I thought easy was staying still to take the photos.

If you have this challenge, what shadow would you make?

 

Paihia School Film Festival

Kia Ora In Paihia School we had a film festival. This film festival were our first film festival ever but unfortunately I didn’t make a movie because I was on a holiday. This years movie topic was about New Zealand history. I enjoyed so much watching the movies and my favourite one was “Back to the dawn raid” which was made by my friends Jacob, Cahlay and Henry. In this event I learnt a lot history about New Zealand history. For example, like people thought Japan will bomb Northland-New Zealand but they actually bombed us with flower bags.

What is your favourite movie?
