the design process design furniture for our street

At pt England school our topic for this term is about Bigger, Better, faster, stronger. So we Identified a need in the senior block. We decided to design some cool furniture for our street.

Our amazing Teacher told us that we can use the Internet to research for creative design. What Charm and I are working on is seating's. What we found on the Internet was marvelous designs that we can’t make. Because most of the design are made of wood that curves.

What dose generate idea mean? generate ideas means to me that you come up with cool ideas After we all research. We than generate ideas from research also to pick your favourite design that you found then Modified it .What modify means? Is to change it to make it better and to change it to make it your own. Me and my partner did heaps of modifying so our design looks creative then the others.

Finally we are on the fun pit. Why I like this step of the process is that we get to make a prototype. The people that don't know what prototype means?. Its the first step of your model.

I've really enjoyed the past few weeks of doing the design process. I hope we get to do this in the future.

This is a slide show showing what we did in the rugby league session I really liked it it was cool and fun.

Rugby league session

On Wednesday before morning tea room 22 had to go down to the courts in 2 lines because a man called Sio Siua Taukeiaho that plays for the vodafone junior warriors squad was going to teach us some rugby league skills.

The first drill that we had to do was called zigzag around the cones. When you get to the last cone then sprint back and pop the ball to your other runner and they have to zigzag around the cones. The first team to sit back down in a line when everyone has a turn wins a point for there team.

Our 2ND drill was the same as the 1st drill but now its people not cones in a line. You have to zigzag around them then when you get to the end you have to sprint back and place the ball between two cones. My team was the first team to get a point but we just lost to the other team by one.

Finally on our last session of the day the game was similar to focus back but when you kick the ball it has to be above your shoulders if it doesn't then the person that kick the ball is out. the other thing is when you kick the ball and the other one is trying to catch it if they drop it they are out to. I'm always the last person to get out because I know were to kick. My team won most the time but we lost.

I really enjoyed it I hope the come some other time to teach us some more skills.

science roadshow

Thursday morning the 9Th of June room 22 and the senior block went down to the science roadshow at Tamaki College. Why we went down to the science roadshow because it was part of our topic at Pt England school.

The thing what I was really enjoying was when they showed all the chemicals like gasoline I was surprised when they mixed the gasoline with fire.

There were cards that they gave out to people to complete in only if you want to you don't have to if you name gets drawn out you will win a prize. It was in the box. What the challenge was to go around and find out information there are questions on the card that you had to go and look for it was pretty easy but some was hard when you find the question for it you have to find miss V to tick it I finally finished my card in 2 minutes.

Then the scientist's called us to come and sit back down I was the last one to go sit down because I was busy still playing on the equipments what they want to show us was the important things. also showed us about our science
such as our touch, smell, sound , eyes. taste.

What I really enjoyed about that day was the best day I had this year at the moment I hope we go there again this year or next year.

SIGN REFLECTION

What is my sign made of? Its made of these things. Metal I will find metal on the side of the road, crews I will get crews from my house, paint brush Ill use our class paint and brush.

My sign will be very easy for everyone to see and to understand because if its not practical everyone won’t chuck it in the bin.

What I will change my design if my design will not turn out good on the pole in our school grounds. I will try and put it on every bay on the wall, and in the front of our school were visits and people from different schools enter our school. Also they will know and remember to don’t be a litter bug. They will love my design.

Swimming

The past two weeks every day during lunch time room 22 and the team 5 went down to the Glen Innes pools to learn how to swim.

Why swimming lessons are important ? because if your in the sea and you don’t know how to swim it will be very dangers such as drowning.

What being learning at the pools is how to swim. the first thing we did was fingers what fingers mean is when you drag you fingers out on the water. also we did 850 meters with out stopping.

It was really hard because we couldn't’t stand up and stop. I am looking foward to swim next year because its really important to learn to swim.

ilalio geometry

This term in room 22 we are learning about Geometry in maths. Geometry is the study of sizes, shapes and position of 2D shape and 3D figures.

Every day after lunch time we get separated into different maths classes. I go to room 22 Miss T is the teacher in room 22. I like to study shapes and measuring stuff.
