Matariki Star

This week our class made stars for Matariki. To make this star we needed to cut out a circle out of cardboard. Then we had used a protractor to find 30 centimetres. Then we had done added half a centre metre out from the 30 centre metre line we added with the protractor. then we cut to the half centre metre. Once we had done that we taped string to the centre of the our circle and wrapped the string around the cuts.

Beach Cookout

On Wednesday room 8 went to the beach behind the Marist rugby ground. We went to the beach for a cook out to fill in our out door activities and to have a good lunch. My group had Breeana, Lily, Nevaeh and me of course. Our group made burgers and smoors for the dessert. To build the fire we needed to collect tinder and kindling. For our group it was easy to find kindling and tinder. To get our kindling and tinder there was a bunch of sticks behind our group. When we went over there and collected the stuff we were able to start our fire. We used matches to start our fire. I brought the meat patties, salt and cooking oil. Lily brought the buns and the precooked chips as well as the frying pan. Nevey brought the marshmellows and the biscuits. Breeana brought chocolate and plastic plates. Our lunch was great, I would definitely have it again. Our adult that had helped us was Kelly Shaw, Lily's mum.
