My Polystyrene

My mum had thought of something to do with fairies and mystical things, so I thought it could be a mixture of things to do with magical and mystical. Then when I had finished mum thought it looked like a fantasy land, so that's what it turned out to be.

My mum helped me with glueing the stuff on with a hot glue gun, (To be honest I’m glad, I did not want to be burned.) Mum also helped me with the wool, wrapping it round the cylinder was tricky it kept getting trapped.

First we wrapped the wool round and round the cylinder, then I positioned the shells and fairy where I wanted them to go.

Then the next day mum helped me glue the items on.

I loved my end project, I thought it was creative. When I came to school the next day I saw Maggie’s and Isabella’s projects, and they looked stunning they really tickled my tongue. I loved them. I think the shape of Isabella’s Caterpillar project was really cool I also liked colour, it was unusual and that was why I liked it. I liked Maggie’s because I love magical things especially a toad stool, I liked her imagination.

This was the process.

Impact

                                  Impact

               

I am in the Garage sale Impact group, and here are          some things I can tell about my group.

                   Where we are at with Impact…….

I am learning all about money and Jobs, Wages and Income that sort of stuff. We also are working on the cost of things we need for the creations we are making like... I am making a Reindeer Christmas gift and it requires Brown paper, Pom poms and lots more. That is where we are at.

                 What we have accomplished so far……..

We have accomplished learning about money, finding out what we are doing, listing how to make the creation cost and then learning how to do a procedure then doing one. I have learned so much even though it’s only the beginning.

                  What are your next steps in order to complete your project/projects by the Term 4 deadline?  

Our next steps are..

1. Gather the stuff we need and start making a practice creation
2. Add stuff on until we have the creation we wanted
3. Start making more of our creations
4. Pricing the creations.

So far I am enjoying every step that we are processing,  I also am enjoying working together as groups.

There is nothing I am not enjoying because this has been really fun!

Term 3 reflection

What have you enjoyed the most this term and why?

• I have enjoyed reading books and doing book club roles because I love reading.
• I have also enjoyed learning new things in Maths, like ‘How much time is in between these times,’because I learned so much from this IXL task.
• This term I have enjoyed learning about the cost of things in Impact. I liked this because now I know what wages are.

What has been challenging this term and why?

• I found finding the cost of things challenging in impact because we had to look for the right cost of things, by searching them up on the internet.
• I found maths challenging when we had this IXL task that was “Finding how much time is in between this time time on an analogue clock.” But in the end I tried my best and I got it finished. This was challenging because it was my first time doing it.
• I found AWS challenging when it came to a challenging page, I always got through them though because I tried - that's the most important thing. This was challenging because I was still learning the questions that were on the AWS page.   

What are you looking forward to next term and why?

I am looking forward to having fun while I am learning at the same time, I am also looking forward to a new term. I also am looking forward to swimming because we have not swam in the Ngatea pool for ages.
