Success Criteria: I am successful when I can follow the  instructions how to make a Waka.



Instructions how to make a paper waka: 1.) - Break off a dry flax stalk.
2.) - Get the adult to help you cut the stalk into two sticks about 20 cm long. Shape the ends of the sticks into points. These are your Waka.
3.) - Join your Waka together with one of the 18 cm pieces of wire. Push one end of the wire through Waka 5 cm from the end. Wrap the wire around  the Waka so that it's attached firmly.
4.) - Now stretch the wire so that it's straight and push the other end of it through your other Waka 5 cm from it's end. Wrap it around the Waka to make it secure. (You should end up with a straight 10 cm of wire between each Waka.)
5.) - Use the other piece of 18 cm wire in the same way to join the Waka at their other ends.
6.) - Bend the 36 cm length of wire into a V shape for the sail.
7.) - Trace the shape of your sail onto the cardboard. Cut out the shape, decorate it, and tape it to the wire.
8.) - Stick one end of your sail into each Waka.
9.) - Test your Waka.
10.) - Think of some ideas for how you can make your Waka better.

Whales-By Tyrah

Learning Intention:W.A.L.T-write a report

Success Criteria:I am successful when I can write a report about whales.

Whales are mammals.  They are warm blooded too.  They need air to breath like humans do.  They feed their young with milk.

                                             
Some whales are very big.  Whales have a  big head and inside is a very heavy brain.  Their bodies resemble a shape of a submarine.

Whales have a large tail that helps them move in the water.
They use their flippers to swim when they move and where they need to go.  Whales have their large bodies streamlined like a submarine for moving through the water.

They live in oceans.  They can survive in both warm water and cold water.  Whales can be found in deep oceans or in the Antarctic.

Whales are magnificent mammals.
