Minecraft Waka project.

Forces and Motion, marble run.

On Tuesday the 15 of September, we made marble runs. My group was Atawhai, Mea and me. The chellange was to get as close to 20 seconds as possible. We beat 3 teams, but our time was only 3.58 seconds!

We did it because it was the end of our forces and motion unit, and it was our finish-up thing, and we learnt about gravity and friction.

I really enjoyed this because it allowed me to be creative and have fun! So if you would like to make one then go ahead! I would love to see you creations too!

Digital technology Matariki Project - Blue Bots and QR codes.

During the Matariki time we learnt about the stars. We made mats with QR codes taped on underneath. We shared our new knowledge about the stars with the younger students of Karoro School, and they would code Blue-Bots, to our QR codes, and then they would scan it with the i-pads. The young kids would draw pictures, and the slightly older kids, who know how to spell, would write the information. One new thing about the stars that I learnt, was that there is thousands of stars in the Matariki cluster, but with the naked eye, you can only see 9!
