technology challenge

Circuits
 Hi bloggers today all of Te waka ako  were doing some technology work for term three on Fridays.
First I did the circuit with Mr Riceman. We had to get a little battery and a light switch thing. Then we had to find a way to switch the light on. We had paper and a wrapper. Then when packed up we had to break it up for the other people. It was a bit challenging. It was quite hard and I felt confused and excited at the same time but it still went good. We had to pack up and break all the pieces to reuse them.


Geoboards

In term 3 week to we did geoboards with Ms Sands and Mr Kim. We had to cut wood with a saw and it had to be 12 centimetres. We got in groups of four and got a long wooden wood to cut. Then we had to put dots on the geoboard 2 centimetres apart and then we had to go over it with a marker. Next we had to grab a hammer and put the nail and hammer it where the dot was. It took a while, then we could put any kind of coloured rubber band on the geoboard. Then next we were finished.



Marble Race

The last task on week 3 term 3 it was the marble challenge with Mr R. We had rules and we also had to work as a team. We had 45 minutes and we had to work together. I had Ehsan, Rua and Jacob. The materials we had was a straw, paper, a plastic cup, tape and the marble. We got the paper and curved it and taped it to the other paper.  The cup was our start. The straws we did not use. Mr R was taking photos while we were building.

school maths sculpture

Hi bloggers it is callum here.In maths we did a school sculpture for a school.They said we need to build a new school and build it and explain where it is going to go.so there was room 6/room 3,4 and 5/office/library/toilet/shed/room 1 and 2/room 7/and the staffroom and then we could add some stuff to it that was part of the school not like a cupcake shop or a free ice cream stuff it has to be school stuff.I did one and It looks cool I had finished it just in time.I think I worked on it for 2 days and it was done.It was comfortable for me and challenging for me but it was still easy but a little bit hard to at the same time and we had to think about the area and where to put it.A area is a shape or a two dimensional.Here is the picture of what I created hope you like it and it was very fun.
