Early in term 3

This term we are learning about the environment. In week 1 we built a shelter for animals with four legs, we could only use  three objects and tools (example hammer), my group and I used a wood pellet , a milk bottle and a piece of bubble wrap and tools. At the end we shared our shelters with the rest of the class, once that was done we did a scale drawing here is our model of our shelter.

This term I managed to get into the  Mathex team a team of mathematicians that go to a math competition in New Zealand, Palmerston North we’ve got a A and a B team for year 6 and A,B and a C team for year five. We go on the 12 of August.

We started working up our matrix and voted for a name for our unit (environmental investigators). Next we Created  our indicators for the habit of mind matrix and graphic designs for all the habits of mind, mine was applying past knowledge.
