Homework Challenge update

We would like you to give us an update on your homework challenge. Add photos. What is your idea? Where are you at? Have there been any challenges so far that you have had to overcome?

What is your idea?

My idea is to do create a Fairy garden.

Steps

1. Cut the milk bottles in half.
2. Squeeze the two milk bottles into a wooden container.
3. Pierce hole’s in the bottom of the milk bottles with a knife.
4. Put soil in the milk bottle’s.
5. Plant a strawberry plant and three swan plants in the soil.
6. Water the plants every day.

I am still planning what to do next.

Where are you at?

I am at step 6. I have thought a bit what I am doing next,

I think I might place a few pebbles in a ring shape in the garden.

Has there been any challenges so far that you have had to overcome?

There hasn't really been any challenges so far because, I know what I am doing.  I think there might be a few challenges on my next step though, I think this because, how will I stick the pebbles down so they don’t fall out?

Learning in the making reflection

Learning in the Making Reflection

Tell us about what happened last Friday!

What was your favourite workshop and why?

What new skills did you learn?

What else did you learn (or teach others)?

Tell us everything!!!

Last Friday was learning in the making day! This day is all about learning while making wonderful things in workshops.

My favourite workshop’s were all of them! I did My life-weaving, First aid, Hot dog pasta and last but not least Paracord wristbands.  

My life-weaving, this workshop was run by my Mummy. What we did was pick strands of wool or fabric or feathers, we had to pick things that represented things that are included in our lives like family. This workshop was awesome I loved it!

First aid, this workshop was cool but I got retouched because I already do St John's, so I new most things already but this workshop was fun! I liked this workshop because I got rethought so now my mind is fresh and I can still remember what I learned.

Hot dog pasta, this was a fun fun workshop we got to learn how to make Hot dog pasta! When we had made it we got to eat it, it was so good! I loved it. This is a picture of it….

Paracord wristbands, this workshop was fun! This is what a Paracord wristband is …..This workshop was all about persevering, it was really hard at the start then it was easy once I knew how to do it. Mine ended up in a weird way because I made a little mistake, but Mrs Blunden helped me by fixing it. Mistakes happen and that's okay! I learned how to make a Paracord wristband, now I can teach others.

That is what I did on Friday!

Holiday recount

This holiday was one of the cruisiest holidays I have ever had! My family and I had only really gone out for family trip once or twice, we went to the bays out near Miranda hot pools. That trip was fun because we took my puppy Ruby, she had never been to a beach or a bay before so she was shocked! Ruby hated the water, I led Ruby over to the water and she started shivering and whining, she even tried to get away but I stopped her. After the trip to the bays we went to get ice cream it was good.

This holiday was cool because my dad introduced me to an olden day tv show, called Full House. I love that show now that I know it and in the holidays when there was time I could watch it! These holidays were cruisey.

Labour day!

Labour day was made because of the 8 hour struggle with work, so they made it a holiday. The first Labour day was in the 1840’s 28th October. This day is a day where everyone gets a day off. People either go on holiday, spend time with family or simply have a chill day. This Labour weekend this is what my family did. Saturday we picked my friend up, and then we headed home and mum and dad took me and Anniemeka out for dinner. On Sunday Anniemeka and I made a fairy house and did a spell so they knew we did. That night we played Spotlight! I got home base about 5 times, it was fun! The next day my family and Anniemeka and I climbed Mount Maunganui, than Anniemeka had to go so we left too. That was my holiday!
