Making tukutuku patterns

                                              Tukutuku patterns

Last week my classmates and I were making takutuku patterns. First I used my plain white piece of cardboard which is called a loom. It had 10 thin lines on it which I had to cut along very carefully.  I took my black and red paper strips and weaved it through the white paper until I got a clear and vibrant pattern.
I had to stick down the ends so I didn't lose them. Then I gave my mat a 'haircut.'
Ms.Agnew took a photo and here is my photo.

Smart Relationship Qualities

                               Cybersmart

Today Ms.Collins taught us Smart Relationship qualities like 

Interesting, joyful, beautiful, smart and positive.

I was with Desiree and we had to decide how we could win the competition of building the tallest tower.

We started by planning for ten minutes how we could use 12 pieces of spaghetti sticks and 8 marshmallows.

After morning tea we had to actually build the tower. Ours was 17cm and it stood without falling for 3 seconds. 

After that Ms.Collins took pictures and we could eat the  marshmallow tower. It was a good activity to do to show how strong our friendship is.
