Camp Tutira

This term we went to Camp Tutira. One of our favourite activities was the Flying Kiwi. You were harnessed up, attached to a rope and the rest of the class were holding the end of the rope. The rope went up about 10 metres through a pulley. The person harnessed up (the kiwi) had to yell out "Kiwi ready ."
The people holding the rope said "Wings ready."
Then the Kiwi said "Flying on three 1, 2, 3 . ."
The wings pull the rope and the kiwi goes flying up. There were four different ways of going up. 1 - straight up, 2 - swinging, 3 - around in circles, 4 - spinning quickly in a circles.

It was great fun.

Symmetry

As part of our mathematics learning we have been leaning about reflective symmetry. We went to the carpark and looked at the car logos, we had to make up our own logo that was a mirror image.

We have had to complete symmetrical shapes.

Art Deco

We went to the museum and we learnt about the 1931 earthquake that struck Napier. The buildings that were rebuilt after the earthquake were built in the art deco style. It was raining so we did not get to go around town looking at the patterns. In class we looked at all the different patterns. We then tried to design our own.
