Inquiry Walls

LI: Create wall planning for inquiry to plan on making a 10cm tall wall (max) and a 5cm thick wall to defend 2 helicopters from a mini pencil catapult.

This week for Mr wongs inquiry we made plans on how to build 4 different types of walls. On this presentation I created 4 plans on how to make a pallisade,stone wall,castle wall and a rammed earth wall. The pallisade wall is a wall of sticks or wood. A stone wall is a wall with plain rocks, which is hard to make with no sand or anything to stick it together. The Castle wall is a wall of rocks and wet sand in between to hold the rocks together. And the Rammed earth wall is a big chunk of sand shaped in a wall.

I created the palisade wall out of toothpicks and I created the Castle wall with rocks and sand. Ellenora had helped me create these walls and once we tested the walls our Castle wall (Rocks and sand) stood  stronger than our pallisade.

Debate Speech

Asian Dragon Or Manticore? 

LI: Write a debate speech on which creature would win a fight between an Asian dragon or Manticore

Here is my Debate Speech about the Asian dragon winning the fight and Reasons why the Asian Dragon would.

 “ The Asian Dragon would win a fight with a Manticore because the Asian dragon has control over water-related powers and their abilities to control atmospheres.”

 “The Asian Dragon can shapeshift into any sea animal possible, The manticore is able to sting any animal with it’s poisonous Scorpion tail if the Manticore is able to see their target.”

 “The Asian Dragon is able to control the weather that includes water like Rain,Tsunami’s and Flash Floods. The Manticore is able to fly above the Tsunamis and floods but the Asian Dragon could make it rain, causing the manticores wing to get dissolved.”

 “An Asian Dragon is able to bring good and bad luck to the appropriate people or animals that deserve it. The Asian Dragon would bring Bad luck to the Manticore which would give the Manticore a hard time. The manticores 2 rows of teeth give a strong bite but needs a close distance to reach their victim.”

 “ The Asian Dragon would win the fight because of its water powers, giving the Asian Dragon a high chance of winning the fight, the Manticore would get half the Chance of winning for having no useful powers except for it’s strange mix of creatures.This is why i think Asian Dragons Would win a fight“

Here is a Link to my Document that I made my Debate speech on.

Water Safety

LI: Create a sequence of swimming style and complete it.

This week we made our own swimming style, using the swimming skills we learned all of term 3. I made 2 sequences with sculling and streamlines.

We had to swim from the middle of the swim school lane all the way to the deep end (the other side) of the pool. The teacher gave us a demonstration for us to complete so we understood how our sequences should be like.

Invisible tag is where we're in 2 groups and the kiwi can leaders have to call out a number between the minimum and maximum of the people in each group. The number called is the amount of people that play each round. The 2 teams have to run to their side and spin around the pole once.

At soccer practice Ashleigh and Duffy teamed up to practice their kicking. Ashleigh starts mocking Molany as she walks past. While Duffy's in the bathroom reading the Halloween bully book Molany cries in the next stall. Duffy tries to ask who it is. Molany comes out of the stall and Duffy asks what happened to her. Molany tells Duffy that there is a cloakroom bully bullying her and tells him she has a lot of worries. Duffy gives her the Halloween bully book for her to read in bed. After Molany reads the book she starts getting rid of her worries. The next morning at school Molany does't have anymore worries anymore and this time she isn't late.

In the Beginning Presentation

LI: To Identify the morals of myths/legends/fairytales.

This week I wrote a presentation on the story in the beginning. I have added a summary, Lessons the story teaches and a video. I have learned a lot during this reading must do and I think that is is a good way of learning myths/legends/fairytales.


The short summary I wrote is about the book that I read about how light was created and how Rangi and papa met. The video I inserted into my DLO is about a different story of Rangi and Papa. It's about their children and how humans were created.

 The morals and lessons of this story are how darkness stop good things from happening and sometimes this does not happen often but darkness causes good things at certain times. In the beginning, darkness was all that was there. Humans did not exist at that time nor did light.

 Until particles swirled it created light. That is a short clue of what my story was about.


The beginning story I read was from a school journal 2012 level 3 reader.
