Reflection

WALT-We are learning to design and create Pallet Garden prototypes

Equipment:

Pallets

Seeds 

Water 

Sunlight 

Nails

Hammer

Why I chose this design:

I chose this design because it looked easy and I wanted to make my design simple. I knew that it would get heaps of rain and sunlight when I put it on an angle.

Reflection:

1. The thing I found difficult was when I was doing the research. I didn't know what design I was going for, but as soon as I found the design I was sticking with I was excited.

2. When I found my design I decided to change it up a bit on my prototype so it could get more sunlight and rain because before it couldn't get enough sunlight and rain to make the plants grow before.

It was hard  when I was making my prototype because I kept on burning myself

Have you ever made a pallet garden and if you have what design did you do?

We made our Kuaka to represent what we want to be like when we leave Paparore School.If you want to make one Here are the steps to.

So first you want to find some topic specific words to match what you want you Kuaka to be about. After you write your words on your feathers go over the words with a felt pen and fill them in with the same colour that you went over the words with. It may take a while but after you do that colour the feather’s in with the colour of your choice. Some of you feathers have to be in just one colour with no words on them. After you do that you can cut your feathers out but be careful with the scissors. When you cut out your feathers put them on your Kuaka and colour in any white spaces. Thank you for reading my story. I hope it helped 

It was Fun when we were making the bird because we had to colour in and I like to colour in. 

Have you made a Kuaka?

WALT-We are learning to be Kaitiaki in our community.

I really liked when we played who dirtied the water because Whaea Nina gave some people jars with different stuff in the jars like water,sticks,toilet paper,sewage water and more.I had a jar with sewage water and it stunk! My friend hazel had a jar with a green liquid.

It was fun because we got to get in a circle listen to a story and see how much the lake is polluted

Have you played who dirtied the water?

WALT-We are learning to use descriptive vocab in our writing.This is work I have written and edited myself.It is still a work in progress.I was sleeping peacefully until I heard a loud noise under my bed. I shot up in fear because that night I watched a horror movie. I quietly got out of bed and peaked under my bed. I shivered in fear at the horrid sight I was seeing. It was a huge monster.  It was dark green with lots of spikes. It was drooling, black drool. I screamed at the top of my lungs. I sprinted so fast I could barely breathe.  When I Arrived at my parents room my awake but tired mum said, “what happened?” I replied, “there's a Gigantic Monster In my room” I said in a puffed voice. “Come and see for yourself” I said. She said “No”. “But mum,” I replied in a sad voice. “Fine” Mum said. When we arrived at my room we checked under my bed. The blood curling monster was gone. “You have been watching too many scary videos, haven’t you,'' she said. “No it’s real I saw it with my own eyes”.

It was hard coming up with this story because we couldn't make it up.We had to use a pobble.

Have you ever heard a noise under your bed if you have what do you think it is?
