Homework Mid way reflection

Midway reflection on Homework

Last week on Monday, Whetu was given yet another homework challenge. But this time we had to supply the main piece. Whetu students had to have at least one milk bottle included.

I am going to do a cloud with 3 strings hanging down, those three strings will lead down to 3 Hama bead snowflakes, then the strings become one string that lead down to my milk bottle, Santa.

I got this idea because I wanted to do something related to Christmas, since Christmas is only a month away.

I have started and nearly finished the cloud, I have also done the hama bead snowflakes (I just need the last one Ironed). For Santa’s hat I am going to buy a red hat and then I am going to glue 2 milk lids together. I will paint them  white and then tada I have a pom pom. I think I will call my design Snowy Santa

I hope Snowy Santa is a success and I win. But I won’t have my hopes too high because I think other people might have other cool ideas.

Here is a photo of me planning my creation

Learning in the Making conference

Learning in the Making Conference

Last week Ngatea School had a Learning in the Making Conference. Learning in the Making is when children choose what workshops they want to do that day. I choose these workshops. Breakout 1: Yoga, Breakout 2: Slime Monsters, Breakout 3: God’s Eye and Breakout 4: Electronics.

Breakout 1: Yoga

This was my favorite workshop  because it was a nice relaxing session. My favorite Yoga move was Down Dog because it stretched My body. This was a fun Breakout. The reason I choose this workshop is because when I get in a bad mood I want to run away, so that is when Yoga will come in and help me to calm down. I rate this workshop a 10/10!

Breakout 2: Slime Monsters

I liked this workshop because it was slimy and I like to get messy But not to wash. The only downer was that I had to go a little into my lunch to finish this workshop. But overall this workshop was a 8/10!

Breakout 3: God's Eyes

For this Breakout I brought in some wool. It was nice and fluffy, colors were:  Blue, Green and Purple. I think my finished product was amazing because it almost looks like a fluffy pillow. Some other people used my wool for their Eyes. 7/10

Breakout 4: Electronics

This was an ok workshop because all we did was try one thing then play games and I’m not into games that much so I rated this a 2/10.
