My Last Christmas Count Down Task (Christmas Research Centre Challenge)

This Week the Whetu Team is doing a new thing and it called The Christmas Countdown. It's about doing Christmas Tasks and they are Christmas writing Challenge, Wreath Design, Christmas Research Centre Challenge and the last one Christmas Wrapping Paper. The one that I chose was the Christmas Research Centre and I chose this one because It was my last one to do and that we could do it on paper. For this task, we had three levels, Rudolf level, Elf level, and The Santa Level and I did the Elf level this time. I picked the Elf level because you could do Reseach on how people in other countries celebrate Christmas. I picked the country China because I thought that other countries celebrate Christmas the same as we do in NZ. The hardest thing was sticking the research onto my poster. The easiest thing was cutting out the picture of Christmas in China.   

My Third Christmas Count Down Task (Christmas Writing Challenge)

This Week the Whetu Team is doing a new thing and it called The Christmas Countdown. It's about doing Christmas Tasks and they are Christmas writing Challenge, Wreath Design, Christmas Research Centre Challenge and the last one Christmas Wrapping Paper. The one that I chose was the Christmas Writing Challenge and I chose this one because I thought that it would be kind to write a letter to a person that ha looked after you this year. For this task, we had three levels, Rudolf level, Elf level, and The Santa Level and I did the Elf level this time. I picked the Elf level because you could make a Letter to a person that has looked after you this year or write a letter to Santa. I picked to write a letter to a person that has looked after me this year. The hardest thing was thinking of a word that started with H because I couldn't think of anything that made sense. The easiest thing was thining of a word of Y because the perfect sense just poped into my head.   

My Second Christmas Count Down Task (Christmas Wrapping Paper)

This Week the Whetu Team is doing a new thing and it called The Christmas Countdown. It's about doing Christmas Tasks and they are Christmas writing Challenge, Wreath Design, Christmas Research Centre Challenge and the last one Christmas Wrapping Paper. The one that I chose was Designing Christmas Wrapping Paper and I chose this one because I thought that it would be cool trying to make Wrapping paper bast on NZ. For this task, we had three levels, Rudolf level, Elf level, and The Santa Level and I did the Santa level this time. I picked the Santa level because I thought since I did the lowest level on my first task that I would challenge myself and pick the highest level. The hardest thing was trying to think of what NZ thing that I would do next. The easiest thing was making the corn on the cob.

This is what my design is supposed to look like. 

My First Christmas Countdown Task (Wreath Design)

This Week the Whetu Team is doing a new thing and it called The Christmas Countdown. It's about doing Christmas Tasks and they are Christmas writing Challenge, Wreath Design, Christmas Research Centre Challenge and the last one Christmas Wrapping Paper. The one that I chose was Designing a Wreath and I chose this one because I thought it would be fun trying to decorate a Wreath. For this task, we had three levels, Rudolf level, Elf level, and The Santa Level and I did the Rudolf level. I did the Rudolf level because I liked the picture because it was simple and really colorful. The hardest thing was making the bow on the wreath. The easiest thing was designing the ordnances on the sides.

This is what my design is supposed to look like. 

         

The End of The Whetu Survivor!

This Week the Whetu Team has finished Whetu Survivor. I think Whetu Survivor was FUN and now we are doing the Final rotation. They are Making Fire, Orienteering and Making delicious food. Here is a Dimension about my time doing my last rotation for Survivor.

Making A Fire

For my first rotation, I and The Brainiacs did Fire Making. First, we got into our Troops and Mrs. Kennedy Picked a troop that can try and makes a tepe shape out of sticks. Also, Mrs. Kennedy picks a different Troop to try and make a spark with the flint and steel. The Tuataras (My Group) got to try and make a tepe shape with sticks and The Keas got to try and make a spark with the flint and steel. For making the fire shape we had to find some little sticks in the mountain of sticks that Mrs. Kennedy found. It was kind of tricky to find the right sticks and to make the right shape so it doesn't fall over. After we got the right shape we had to put all the sticks back into the pile and let the other troops have a turn. When the Keas all had a turn of making a spark my Troop had a turn it was pretty hard to make a spark because you had to push really hard but I was lucky and made a spark. When everyone had a turn at Making a tepe shape with the sticks and making a spark with the flint and steel Mrs. Kennedy tried to make a real fire we tried everything but it just didn't work but it was okay because I liked this rotation.

Making Delicious Food

 For my second rotation, The Brainiacs went to Mrs. Heaven and Made Food the first thing that we made was a banana dessert this is how it was made you get a banana and cut it on the side with a knife and made it like a shape of a triangle. Then you get some marshmallows and chocolate chips and stuff them in the banana. Then you rap it up with tinfoil also make it really tight. Then you put it in a pizza oven or a normal oven. Then you wait until you think it's cooked enough. Then you get a banana dessert. The second thing that we cooked was a baked potato and this is how you make this. You get a potato and get a knife and cut it on the side of the potato. Then you get some cheese and ham and then you put it on the part where you cut on the potato. then you bake it in an oven and then you get a baked potato. If I could rate the banana dessert out of 10 I would make it a 5/10 because I didn't really like it that much but it was ok. If I could rate the baked potato out of 10 I would make it 10/10 because I think it was really yummy. 

Orienteering

For my Last rotation, The Brainiacs did Orienteering. First, we had to get into own Troops and get a map of the whole school and a piece of paper. We had to try and find clues around the school. To find the clues there were little diamonds that show where clues were hidden. It was kind of hard but our Troop got all the clues but we didn't get the answer and the answer was B - U - R - R - I - T - O Burrito. Even if my Troop didn't get the answer I still had fun. The hardest thing about this rotation was tried to get the answer. The easiest thing about this rotation was finding the clues.
