Toys

Toys

For the past weeks me and my friend Max were making toys for inquiry.We have been learning about mechanisms.We came up with a Slingshot.Slingshots have mechanisms because the power that we pull on it gives more speed and distance.

We also made a velcro target to go with our velcro balls so they can stick to the target.The slingshot is quite safe and is fun too.

Now that we made this toy I feel happy because me and Max finally made something together.

How far have some students travelled in their lifetime to reach WPS?

Some students are 8,000 kilo metres.

Why do people make the choice to move to different countries?

For the scenery and for a good future.

Is this a trend in NZ society? What does the media tell us?

That a lot of people are buyying houses.

We also watched a video that shocked me because 10 yr old students are getting treated in unacceptable ways from racism to sexism watch this inspirational video made from kids.

This week for Cyber smart we were looking at under aged kids on social media.we talked and said who is under age in our class so we came came up with.
I would tell an adult then ask how I can solve the problem.If he doesn't want to solve the problem and still abuses me then I would leave the game or report him.

Tri star Gymnastics

This term we started gymnastics we were lucky to have Kane and Kylie come to our school hall every Wednesday.We did it for our kiwi sport for the term.We do it in two rotations as we get called 1 and 2.My favourite parts were the games at the start when we played cool games at the start like Octopus and Gymnastics tag.My next step is to work on rotation and stretches because it can help me with playing rugby or softball by running or with my strength.
