This week for Play, Make, Create I worked with Azahliah and we made a necklace out of wool we also made a bracelet. The book we read was called Theodore the Unsure By Pip Smith. It was about a lion who had a massive mane that grew and grew he was also the king of the Savannah. He cut his mane off and gave it to the snakes for wigs, The Penguins also had a wool jacket and so did the Polo Bears. I think the hardest part was poking the string through the very small hole. I hope Ms. Coles likes it. The easiest part was probably the watercolor. My favorite is going to be giving it to Ms. Coles. 

Friday the 14th 2021   So last year we had a kite day but it happened when we were in lock down and some people were at school but not many.Last week on Friday we had another kite day we made the kites in Whetu Challenge time we had two hours to make our kites and I worked with Heidi. The materials we use were Paper, Felts, Bamboo, Ribbon, String, one Stick and Duct tape. The challenging part was probably sticking the ribbon onto the paper with the duct tape because the tape didn't quite stick and I was getting a bit frustrated so I stuck another piece of tape on. Our Kite didn't fly on Friday but on Monday it was a bit windy so everyone in our class and flew there kites and most of them flew with the wind like ours did. I think the reason why our kite didn't really fly was because the duct tape was a bit too heavy.

 This Week for Play, Make, Create,  I worked with Bella and George and we made a massive hutt with 2 rooms and a washing line.  The book that we watched was called Be You it was about being yourself.  the Challenging part was clipping the pegs to the trees because the trees are thin and the pegs just slipped off when the wind blew.  The easiest part was probably making the washing line.  I decided  to work with different people this time because I wanted to see who I could work with better. We use pool noodles, tarpaulin's, string, pillows and pegs. 

 This week for Play, Make and Create the story was called Up The Creek by Nicholas Oldland. I worked with Emily.P and we made the olden day cup phones, decorated it with lots of color. In he book the task was to make something for the Bear, Beaver and the Moose to communicate to eachother. The cup phones that we made actually worked and I was very happy even though I have done this sort of  thing before it was still very fun. The most Challenging part was probably making the Walkie Talkie's that were made by cardboard. We use Plastic Cups for the Cup and string to connect to Emily's cup. The cups can go 11 feet away and it will still work. To make it work you have to make sure the string is straight and then one person will talk and the other person will listen then swap.
