The FINAL week of technology

By Anonymous -
Hey guys!

In the first week of technology, we had materials to make a marble go as far away from the table. In the second week we had conductors and insulators to create circuits. In this one, I made a geoboard. 

The first thing to do was to cut the strips of wood to even squares with saws. We did this in groups. Once done, we moved on to the measuring and drawing. With pencil, we draw a spot. Every spot  has to be 2 centimetres away from the edge, and 2 centimetres apart, horizontally and vertically. Then we used a hammer, or a piece of wood to get nails down. I couldn't finish it in time. But a teacher Mr Kim kindly finished off the nails for me. I didn't do this one, but you get rubber bands and make anything of it. It was a painful task, especially with nails. 

A weird pattern, but at least it's a pattern right? Some nails seem a bit odd, don't know what happened to it.

Hello. Why are you checking Karl's blog you naughty boy/girl? Oh, if you want to read Karl's blog, how about an answer to little riddle... 1.Most of the wonders and mysteries lie here. 2.I can feel the intense pressure anywhere. 3.It is a very dark, dangerous and cold place. 4.Things must depend on their own or/and other things around it. 5.It is an extensive place. 6. Lots of things that are impossible also lie here. JK! This week we are working on using descriptive language by sharing our writing straight onto our blog.  The challenge we have is to describe a place using only six sentences. After reading the description you need to guess the place that has been described. It would really help if you say what clues helped you come to this conclusion. Also, did you answer my riddle? Hmmm?

Hey! Read this because it will have all you wished for! Just kidding, but over couple of weeks we have been working for a pink beanbag (The best you will ever have). We had to use persuasive writing to convince people to buy it (We are not selling for real.). Then we used Google Drawing to advertise the "most amazing beanbag". Here is mine.

Hey guys! In this blog post, we had a 'Technology Rotation'. What is the Technology Rotation, you ask? Well, we just move from one class to another. First, we have Technology Rotation in my class, Waitemata. We had to do a 'Technology Challenge'. We have to make group of 3. The objective of this activity is to use materials and get a marble as far away from the table as you can, while it is in level with the table. The materials are straws, one plastic cup, a card, scissors, 2 metres of tape (We can cut it in half so we get 2 metres), yarn, and a marble. We were supposed to have toothpicks but my group managed to survive without it. I'll tell you how it went; Me, Ishaan , and Tyson  were just making a plan, I was thinking of cutting a hole in the plastic cup but my group no. Then we got it, kind of. Tyson put a material down on the table, but Ishaan said no (I can't really remember what happened). So we got ice block sticks, and fastened it with some ta
