And share it in my poster. So here is my poster I hope you like it.

Thank you for looking at my blog! Do you think pavlova is from Australia or New Zealand?, I know what one I think!

Pasta Rover Challenge

Aim...

 Build a pasta Rover that can travel 1m down down a ramp and 1m across the floor.

So Today we got a task to made a rover out of pasta . We got into groups of 2-3 and then Started making them the aim was to Build a pasta Rover that can travel 1m down down a ramp and 1m across the floor with pasta and mints

 So first off we started good but at the end of the lesson the base broke then we tried to fix it but it keeped on braking so at the end it didn't look that good. But here are some photos of my group making the rovers and How it turned out.

                                                                                                                                                              

How the Polynesians Navigated across the sea

 How Polynesians Navigated across the sea

Would you be able to navigate across the ocean without a map? The polynesians way finders  navigated the ocean.  They used  clouds , Stars,birds,waves or currents and the sun and the moon.

One of the ways to navigate was stars. The Polynesians used the stars to navigate across the ocean. They used the Southern cross(a thick star) at night to know where the South was.

Then in the day when they can't use the stars anymore they used the sun to navigate. They used the sun for direction In the morning and night. Because the Sun sets In the west and the Sun rises in the east, Which meant that they could Know if they were going the right way or not. 

Another way was using clouds.  One way to navigate with clouds was, Sometimes The clouds would Reflect Islands and Lagoons. Also A big group of clouds could be above a mountain or island. 

So In conclusion The polynesians used clouds , Stars,birds,waves/currents and the sun and the moon to Navigate across the Ocean. Without using Maps , Compass etc.

So for Hur3 we talked about how Polynesians Navigated , Without compasses or maps .... We learnt what they used and how they used it.. Here are some things they used to navigate across the ocean , Clouds,Birds,sun,moon and more. Then we got told to make explanation writing about it . So this is my explanation writing

Communication challenge

This week in hur3 We had been given the task to find out what a other person is saying from 100 metres away without yelling or texting or calling. So we learnt how to do some Sign language, hexadecimals , and more And we also got to make our own way to communicate, After about a week of learning ways to communicate we got to choose what one we were going to do, Me and my buddie decided to make our own .. 

Then we went to the field and tried out our communications , So the first sentence was, Monday is baking day, And me and my buddie got the closet in our class we ended up only getting Monday is. Then we got a word to communicate which was phone, We didn't go very well. Next time I think me and my buddie need to do a different way to communicate, all-thought that it was very fun to do and I would recommend doing it in your free time because it is really fun to do , If you do tell me how it goes.
