speed demon challenge

I completed a speed demon challenge for addition to 20. I got 71/100 and my time was

9 minutes and five seconds.

Next time i will go faster by not taking along time on the ones I did not know.

Toy tech

Today the four amigos and I finished prototyping.

First we had to draw the design on the cup,  you could not trace from your chromebook because you don't own the photo and all of your group had to do the same design.

Afterwards we had to show Mr. Ogilvie we showed him and he said that the paper could have been stuck on better.Then we changed it then we got to poke a hole in the bottom of the cup.

Finally we put the rubber band through the hole we made before it was hard to put the rubber band through the cup and then we did the rest and finished.

I enjoyed making the party popper  because I learnt how the party popper worked.

My trebuchet explanation

 Today I have finished an explanationon of a trebuchet and how it works.

I liked this because I learned a lot about trebuchets.

Prototyping party poppers

The four amigos and I did prototyping.

First we got the materials we needed, then we tested some different triggers and we decided on the bolt.

Second we chose our filling that would go in the cup. We tested some fillings out and we did this by testing it in the cup. In the end we chose the beads.

Then we did prototyping I workwd out because we tested it and we liked it.

I enjoyed testing the filling because we could decide what was cool.

Table tennis skils

Today we learnt some techneques to improve our table tennis game.

First we started by learning the standard grip you could do this grip by pointing your finger like a gun and having your thumb was on the other side of the bat this grip is called the hand shake grip.

Then we learnt different ways two hit the bat they were forehand and this was the easiest to do, you could do this hit by using the hand shake grip. The next hit we learnt was backhand this was a little harder because you had too keep it up by your chest because if you had the racket too low it would put too much strain on your wrist. After we learnt the basics we played a game it was called champion some one had to be the champion and there was a challenger. We had to drop serve the ball to start the game. If it hit the net and went over the other side it would be a re-serve. I won some games, it was very fun. 

revision

Today we revised our moari from the term.

First we did tenei, tena, and tera, which means this and that.

Next we did runga and roto, which means on and in.

Lastly we did waho and raro, which means out and under.

After we went on the mat we played a game. It was a memory game.

I liked the game because I won a lot of pairs, the cards were showing the weather and we had to say the words in Maori eg. kapua/cloudy.
