On the 7th of June something fantastic happened…..

We had a class trip to mission bay! This trip was for are collaborative concept. It was a lot of fun!

Our bus to mission bay was supposed to come at 9.15 but then ended up coming at 10.00! When we the bus finally arrived we all got on excitedly.When got there, there was a big extravaganza because everybody was trying to get off at the same time.When everybody was off we went to the playground for some playtime on the playground I had a lot of fun there but the fun had only just begun.

Next we all pushed though the wind trying to get to the sandy part of the beach.when we got there we all sat down while the teachers explained the rules to the sandcastle competition, then off we went into the sand ( by the time we got to the sand most of us had sand in our eyes) When the sandcastle comp was finished the teachers announced the winners.It was the tanifa group!

They were all called up and got presented medals for amazing collaboration in the sand castle and now you are probably wondering why I said they got a medal for amazing collaboration and not for the best sand castle is because this trip was about learning to collaborate .

Then we did or rotations I did Relays first then I did Beach flags I won a lot of the games but then I got distracted. Last I did soccer It not was not a proper game it was a number type but it too hard for me to explain to you.

Soon after we did the rotations it was time for the WAKA RACE.( Not real wakas just models that we made in class ) Although it wasn’t really a race because nobody took it seriously but no one was expected to take it seriously it was just for fun.

After the Waka race we played on the playground for a  bit that was fun because the mission bay seesaw was enormous a lot of people came one by one to join Me, Maya, Riley, Holly & Amy soon the seesaw was full and mrs parker also came and joined us for a bit.Then it was time to go back to school I had a Fantastic day!

1. Find your sticks and equipment.

2. Cut one kebab stick in half. Then glue the sticks on the bottom of your stalk.

Maya and Charlies collaborative how to make a double waka

This is our procedural text on how to make a double waka.
We learned that in procedural writing your instructions need to be really obvious. You need to write in second or third person and present tense. We found it difficult to write in second person and also our communication in writing this together wasn't always the best.

Pativai's How To Make A Double Waka

Equipment  :

• Help from adult

• Dry flower flax stalk

• kebabs sticks
  

• Scissors

• Sticky tape or glue gun

• Craft knife

• A chopping board

• Paper

• Colouring pens

1 . Break off two dry flower flax stalk

2 . Have a adult cut it with an crafting knife into long pieces on an chopping board. This optional if you want to do this then shape the end of the flax stalk.

3 . Glue or push your kebab stick through both of the flax stalk to make the waka, if you are gluing it I prefer using an glue gun instead of tape. If you are pushing it through I prefer you can push it through only an little bit or if pushing it all the way, cut off the end. This will hold the waka together.

4 . Glue an kebab stick on each of the dry flower flax and push it so the ends meet to make an triangle.

5 . Draw an design on a paper for the sail then cut out and glue it onto the triangle for the sail.

6 . Test it out and see if your double waka can float.

I hope you can make your own double waka maybe with different equipment, instructions and maybe different designs for your sail and double waka.
