                                      Wonder project 
On Thursday The whole of Te Waka Ako was included in this project that everyone was going to make. Also we had an expert and her name is Melissa and she is a Biology scientist.  Biology is  studying about living things on Earth not only earth other places as well. First off she introduced herself to us and told us what she works for and also I was very surprised because her son Stellan comes to Waikowhai. After that we opened this rocket cardboard then there was everything that we needed to make the rocket and also you needed three people to launch it up in the air. Also the people that will be picked to launch the rocket have to wear light vests and goggles to be protected. And also we had to watch some videos about what we were going to be doing. After we watched the video we got into groups then we were given papers for our group name and I was with Dev, Amara, Ayana, then there was me. We came up with the name D.A.J.A and that stands for our first letter on our names. We also filled out what school we went to but that was easy. After all of that we got back into our groups and we had to pick a paper out of the little box and we had to search up what it meant and I got health and safety. I really enjoy the Wonder project I'm looking forward to next week's session. We are launching a prototype rocket. Blog you later!!!.

Welcome back bloggers to a new term.  Yesterday the whole of Te Waka Ako was celebrating Matariki by doing really fun stuff like cooking and more other games. First of all after we called the role our teacher Miss Daly was going on and on of what the day was going to look like animation was a very cool thing but I failed at it because I got kinda frustrated because they people that we made out of the clay could not stand up like we wanted to. The other activity was cool as well because we were coloring and coloring is one of the best thing I like doing we had to chose a paper that we were going to write on. The patterned paper strips were woven onto bamboo frames to make Manu Tukutuku (kites) Cooking was not the best in my opinion because I dont really like baking with other people only with my family. We made fry bread. But at the end of the day I really enjoyed Matariki Blog yo later!!!
