Calendar art

This week We've been doing calendar art.

I was doing something very difficult.

I don't know what to call it but this art is harder than it looks it's probably impossible.

It took me 2 days because my time is very close to the deadline.

the impossible things to do are cutting it perfectly and making it look  so wavy.

Probably the hardest art I've done yet .

KiwiCan Recount Term 3

(This is not yet completed please give me feed back by commenting)

Moo! Oink! Kok ko doodle doo!

On Tuesday 23 August my inquiry group went to Kiwi Can.

We played chuck the chicken. We were split into two groups and I was in the group where I should catch the chicken cow pig thing. That was the time when I started thinking why is the game called chuck the chicken when we’re catching a cow that sounds like a pig named after a chicken...I mean ...what?!

I didn't get to catch the cow/pig/chicken. It was my team’s turn to chuck the cow/chicken/pig and I misheard the rules so I thought .oh! I have the cow/pig/chicken i'm going to say chuck the chicken and throw the mutant cow thing “well”I got it wrong.

So the next round I get to throw the mutant cow thing. When I tossed it I tried to trick the other team by acting that I would throw the cow normally and I threw the cow under my legs. I ran around and I barely made it in time. Then we swapped around again and we’re the ones who’s catching the chicken thing.

Then accidentally someone threw the chicken at my face.

And that reminds me of the chicken bash game.

I don't know what team won but I felt like I let my team down but it was very very fun. But I’m still thinking... Why the cow/pig/chicken thing… Why?!

As more as I think of it it made me think that it was very very hilarious.

Spirit and motion.

Activity 3:

If I was to make My own sport my sport would be like and inspired by fencing and the older times people in wheel in wheel chairs are perfect for this except for those who has a fragile body. They can't move very fast because they're riding a wheel chair. the rules will be ... Not allowed to land a blow at the head, cannot cross over the whole line and if they drop the weapon they're out. the best name for this sport is
Wheelchair Kendo or Wheelchair Fencing
If I was to play my own sport I would rather defend my self rather the dodging or attacking.
the best tip for this sport is to attack when the enemy is open or showing a wide blind spot.
this sport is about the fastest senses and upper body strength.
the're many wheelchair sports out there but this has been never done I think

Investigation The thickness of a piece of paper

We are learning how thick a piece of paper is.

we are not completely accurate but the point of this is hatch a plan and this is how we solved it.

we worked it out in 1 hour.

Spirit in motion.

Activity 1: Cycling

If I were in the Paralympics doing Cycling and I were to chose a team mate I would choose my cousin Alex

I chose him because he has been doing BMX racing but he is quite the problem today he is 16 he is the trouble because he nearly got hit by cars when I was just 7 and especially in the highway/main road.

He is capable to help himself out of crashes even if he was close to death he would still paddle like nothing happens. My advantage and skills are about speed and agility and tracking I have a computer like brain

(not really) very fast with bikes can handle high speed bicycling and squeezing through tight and small places.

I would rather be at the front than bottom it would be bad if Alex was at the front we would be having a high chance of disqualification.
