PBS collage

 

I have gathered 15 images and used a google drawing to turn it into a collage. Read the collage left to right as if you were reading a comic strip. These pictures are in time order to show some of the events that happened from the beginning of school, to the some of the last activities we did near the end of the year.

The first image shows one of the first activities of Tech one of the groups did. The second one shows our trip to the Auckland library where we met Stig. 3rd and 4th is the olympic silhouette art. 5th and 6th is Rhythm Interactive. 7th-Paper planes. 8th-PBS Athletics day. 9th-Pigeon ideas, 3 vital, 4 very important and some important ideas. 10-Book character parade. 11-Run, Jump, Throw. 12 & 13-Hockey. 14-Making Hundertwasser Art. 15-Visiting Tahuna Torea.

Tech Rocket Building

LS2 went to Tech to finish off our rockets that we had built last week. My partners were Daniel, AJ and Lyndon. Our rockets had a parachute type of system where it would pop out and slow down the rockets fall due to air resistance. We also had some Blu tack in the cone of our rockets to make it heavier. Once we finished we went to the field of Tamaki Collage to test our rockets. The rocket my group made is called: UFA/Unidentified Flying Aircraft There were some interesting results that happened with each rocket we tested, our rocket flew by the clouds but the parachute system failed. I would like to thank Mr Dunn and Mrs Ferguson for using their time and effort so we could fly rockets with them. We have enjoyed our time with you and hope you also enjoyed your time with us.

Rocket Collage

On Friday, after tech, the year seven and eight's went with Mr Dunn to make some rockets. Before we made rockets that would be launched into the air, we made straw ones. Here is a collage showing some people flying or making their straw rockets in time order.

Rockets Tech

At Tech we were working on two types of rockets. A straw rocket and a Paper rocket. I was working with Daniel, Lyndon and AJ. The first rocket we had to do was the straw rocket. We cut out pieces of paper then attached them to our straws with sellotape. We did the same with the top of the straw where we bent it and sellotaped it. We then put the small straw in the a big straw. We also used the big straw to blow the rocket out and watched it fly.
