3 2 1 BLAST OFF!

 This week we have been studying the Wonder Project. This project is where we get to Launch bottle Rockets. We have launched about 8 rockets now. We have been learning about aerodynamics.   This means how well the bottle flies through the air.  They fly pretty well. We are all very excited to see if we win!!

Emilly Car Masterpeices

 This Term we have been learning about Emilly Carr. She was born on 13 December 1871 and died on 2 March 1945. She loved to paint trees and she used a really cool technique as well. We tried painting like Emilly and this is how mine tuned out.

I am very proud of my work. Have you painted like Emilly before??

The Math Journey of challenges.

 This week all of the math groups are having a competition. Whoever does the most math problems gets one day off maths!! Now….. I think our maths group will win but I can’t guarantee it. So I think this a good challenge.

Have you ever done a challenge like this? If you have leave a comment and say if you have.

Kaniere’s early days

This week my reading group has been looking for some of Kaniere’s History on Google. We learned that Kaniere used to be spelled Kanieri. We wanted to learn this because it is quite cool and fascinating to see old photos and newsletters of the school.

I think this is a great opportunity for my reading group to see Kaniere’s past photos.

Have you ever done a task like this at school?

My book on google slides is almost finished!!

 Today I wanted to show you my progress on my E-book.      It has been going so well.

Two posts ago I showed you the start of my E-book. 

This is what I have been doing since the last E-book post. 

How do you rate my E-book? 

Could you make one yourself?

My typewriter!

 This is my typewriter. It is my Great Grandfathers Typewriter.

He gave it to me. It is quite old. My Grandfathers nickname is 

Chop Chop. I call him Chop Chop. I write a lot on it.

Chop chop used to write newspaper articles and wood chopping posters on his Typewriter. Chop Chop got his nickname because he was a famous Woodchopper. Shout out to Chop Chop!! Have you ever seen a typewriter in person?
