The Boat Challenge

This is Ayla's boat she made for our boat task.

My boat was made out of wood and paper. It was hard making my boat because I couldn't stick the paper on. I used sticky tape but it still didnt work. I used more tape.

In the water the boat broke. The paper ripped in half because all the water soaks into the paper and it starts to rip. Next time I would not use paper. I could use rope and material.

My Puppet

Here is a picture of Aayla and her puppet, Ariel. Te Kakano made puppets for Friday Surprise Day and our Whakangahau. We had to think about all the parts our puppets would need. We also had to show persistence to make sure the parts stayed on and looked how we planned it. 

"My puppet is special because I made it with glitter string. We have to look after it carefully because it was made of hot glue. It was hard to glue the things on. I had to stick the decorations on. "

Beach Day

Our class went to Nga Motu Beach with Frankley School.












In the morning we made sand castles on the beach. Aayla's Grandma helped her to make a wonderful sandcastle. They used the bucket and containers to make a castle and then Aayla found things on the beach to use as decoration. She used shells, drift wood and seaweed. 
                                                           

After lunch Te Kakano went for a swim. Aayla had loads of fun splashing in the waves.
