Hey Bloggers! How are you? In class at the moment, seeing as the year is coming to an end we are getting creative tasks and one of these was to create a superhero, I have so many more ideas for this task but I chose this idea. Meet Magma whose planet was destroyed by a wormhole and she now lives on earth:
Kia ora, I am a student at Marshland School, Welcome - Haere Mai. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note my work may include spelling or other errors because some of it will be my first drafts. I would like to get your feedback - comments, thoughts, questions and ideas to help me Learn Create Share.

Surprising super hero

Neat nets!
Kia ora Bloggers! How are you? Recently in math, my teacher came up with a super fun challenge where we had to create packaging for chocolate. The teacher went around and gave us a small package of assorted chocolate. When we then opened it, I received mini Cadbury milk chocolate bars. Next, we had to design a net that could fit our chocolate inside it. Here's my net:
I then made it up and tied it up with a ribbon and this is what it looked like:
This challenge was super fun and I would love to do it again. Do you know what the shape I used is called? Have a brilliant day.

Cool Ki O'rahi!
Kia ora Bloggers!! I know this is the third post today but have more to share. As you hopefully know by now, I have been looking at NZ culture and this involved taking a look at an old kiwi game called Ki O'rahi! This game is super fun to play and I put together a slide show with my friend to show you how to play...
Helpful hangi poster!
Hey Bloggers!! What are you up to? If you saw my previous post you will know that we have recently been looking at Maori culture and part of Maori culture is a hangi, a hangi is essentially a huge meal that cooked underground. Almost like a barbeque but underground. We had to make a poster describing how the hangi has changed. My poster is a little bit- messy so I will type out what it says here then put a picture of the poster underneath.
Traditional hangi
The traditional hangi consists of a large hole in the ground filled with red hot rocks that were heated earlier. On top of these rocks, you place baskets filled with food. Next, you cover them with wet sacks then cover the sacks with the earth. Overall this entire process can take 7-8 1/2 hours (Including cook time) This is a long time to wait for a meal.
Modern hangi
The modern hangi takes a lot less time to prepare and way less effort saving you time, plus you are guaranteed a good mvveal. Overall technology has improved the way we create hangi making it more efficient

Past vs present
Kia ora bloggers!! How are you all? I haven't posted in a while so I apologize for that. For inquiry this term we are looking at countries, so to start off the term we are taking a look at New Zealand's culture, heritage, and traditions. Maori culture includes things like ideas, customs, and behavior this includes things like waiatas, hangi, etc. Heritage is things like our marae and ferns and our traditions are things like Matariki and hakas.
For this task we were given 3 slides to fill in, writing things about Tā moko, Korowai, and Kapa haka. A Tā moko is a traditional Maori tattoo, a Korowai is a cloak and kapa haka is a war dance of sorts. We had to describe how the tools, the design, and the usage has changed over time. This slide shows all of these changed.

Its not rocket science
Kia ora bloggers! How are you today? Recently in class, we have been looking at building and flying rockets out of plastic bottles. Our prototypes went really far but we only came third with our final model as the weights weren't evenly distributed. Our team name was b.u.s.h. and I was in a team of six with my friends, Pandora, Zara, Isabella, Sophia and Olivia. We were told to make a video to show our team but ours isn't finished, I will post the finished video when it's done. We needed to learn about newtons three laws so my question for today is, do you know what newtons three laws are? Have a brilliant day!

Cool children stories
Kia ora bloggers! How are you on this fine day? We are looking at kids books, so we each get to create our own. This is my plot:
I: Carmel is a huge snoop who sticks her nose in everyone's business
P: They overhear their parents talking about a present
A: Carmel assumes its for her she asks everyone if they know what her present is/ boasts about it
R: after asking everyone in town she sits down in despair
C: In the end, her parents end up telling her that they are going to her cousin's bday and they show her the present she thought was hers
I will post the entire story with images when I'm finished. Do you have any tips for me? Please give me feedback I really need it :3 Have a fantabulous day.

Perfect parachutes
Hey Bloggers! How are you? Imma give you a real quick rundown on what we are doing at the moment.
We got to make parachutes out of some scrap fabric, string etc. we had to lower nuts down on the parachute and get the slowest time. Me and my group got 2.01s which was really good! We also had really great air control. Although we didn't win we did really well. I will post a photo later, my device is gonna die ;w;
What would you do if you were told to make a parachute?
See ya later! -Zoe-

Interesting Irony
This was really fun, as you can see we made good usage of the space around us. If we had more time I would probably make sure the image quality was a bit better, other than that I really like this! Can you list the three kinds of irony? This is my friend's blog, Pandoras blog. Have a fantastic day!

Marvellous mathematics.
This week in maths we have been looking at angles and polygons. We have been discovering the interior angles of a shape, as well as drawing shapes with a compass- not a North/South compass but a pair of compasses that you draw circles with. Here's a rundown of my knowledge of this.

Marvellous mashup.
Now for numeracy, we have been looking at angles and I have been creating a poster that lists the rules of angles I haven't finished that either but I can list some of them here:
Angles on a line add up to 180°
Angles around a point add up to 360°
Opposite angles are equal
That's only a couple of them, I hope you enjoyed my blog post. Can you list the rest of the angle rules? See you next time.

Lit literacy.
Why did Oz never feel like home to the wizard? Why did it never feel like home to Dorothy?
I think oz never felt like home to the wizard and Dorothy because it wasn't where they came from, it felt new and uncertain, they never knew whether they were safe. The wizard felt like he had to become somebody else to fit in and Dorothy was super unsure of everything.
Dorothy travels a long way just to end up back where she started. Do you think she'd call her journey pointless? Why or why not?
I don't think Dorothy's journey was pointless as she grew as a person, she discovered her likes and dislikes, she also helped others discover themselves. She discovered that she was a born leader, I don't think she had gotten that chance on the farm. She also made lots of friends and found a second family.
Those are my answers! I quite enjoyed writing those out actually, it was really fun. What's your favourite thing to do at home?

Surprising similarity.
Alice in wonderland - Both movies have young female protagonists who suddenly find themselves in curious magical worlds, both young heroines go on a magical quest to find their way home making dangerous enemies.
Chronicles of Narnia - In both books the main characters find themselves in a new magic land filled with curious talking creatures (Lions) and they find themselves the greatest enemy of an evil witch.
Peter pan - In both movies, we have young characters who find themselves in a new magic world, they make good friends who are both magical and normal (well not normal), in both stories they have a loyal and lovable dog, both movies also have a very angry antagonist.
Can you think of any other books or movies that are similar to The wizard of oz? Have a great day.
