Hey there, to you visiting my blog. On Thursday, which was yesterday, my school was creating a model only with toothpicks and Plasticine / Modelling clay. The ground material was cardboard. This task was a maths project, making a model of a tent. What we had to do was stick toothpicks with Plasticine to make a tent and also make sure it's stable. There were some challenges, especially when it came to cubes. But the fun factor was when pyramids made it stable. When I was doing that task I learnt a lot because one thing I learned is that it is difficult to put toothpicks inside Plasticine with a rather small volume, while on the other hand Plasticine big in size would shake the toothpicks which have a smaller density than the Plasticine. The shapes that I made were cubes and pyramids with bases square and triangular shaped. Plasticine was my problem because I fastened the toothpicks with Plasticine randomly big and small. It worked better when I used even amounts of Plasticine.

WALT or IALT to make a Digital Footprint Cyber-smart! Today Room 7 Waikowhai Primary (or myself) is learning how to make a digital footprint. A digital footprint is NOT a literal footprint. I mean the literal is when you walk on sand or wet concrete. But this footprint (digital) is data you leave behind online. Here is a google drawing of who i think will view mine and others blogs. Please feel free to comment.
