MARKET DAY

HOLA, welcome back to my amazing world of blogging
This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about design and the big question was; How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?

First we learned what STEAM stood for.
S for Science
T for Technology
E for Engineering
A for the Arts
and M for Maths
Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using newspaper, string and straws that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.
Then; make a table that was able to balance MnMs for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because we learnt from the first challenge what and what not to do
                                                                                Here is my Technology Template 
In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments and to write a technology report using the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.

Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.
How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product? Our aim was to create enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity.

My team made bowling with bubble bottles, you would bowl a ball and the first bottle you knocked over you got a lollie. Here is a photo.

My highlight from this PBL was actually making it and then selling them to make money for charity
Next time I would plan out my invention a little bit better.
Let me know if you have ever had a market day and hope you come
back next time.
BYE.

CENTRALS I MADE IT!!!!!

Kia ora koutou,
Hi everyone welcome back to my amazing world of blogging.
Today I will be sharing my story about centrals that's right I got
through for shot put, it was a little boring because I had to wait
4 or 5 hours for my event to start because it started at TEN PAST TWO.
But while I was waiting I got to draw and play with one of my friends,
I was number 83 so it took a while first I hear one next thing 27 then
53 then 77 and finally 83 I went to my event and unfortunately I didn't
come a place but I was still very happy with my throws and also happy
I got into centrals. That has to count as something, right?
Anyway I hope you enjoyed my blog post and let me know if
you have ever been to centrals and if you have what for?
e noho ra hope you come back.
BYE.

ZONES (and maybe an extra surprise at the end)

Talofa everyone,
I GOT INTO ZONES. I know that I talked about getting into zones in my last blog but it was really fun because six of my friends went as well. I had to wait a while for my first event but it was discus, I didn't do to bad I think that I got seventh over all and then I went back to have some lunch and then I was marshalled back to do shot put and I came 3rd over all which means FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I GOT INTO CENTRALS!!!!!! 

I am so happy that I got into centrals because last year I got into zones but I didn't get into centrals, unfortunately none of my friends got in but I was the only year six that went through and I am SO exited. As soon as I saw my name on the list I couldn't believe it literally, I was denying it.

Thanks for stopping buy.

Ciao for now and see ya next time BYE.
