Cardboard Cuda

I made a cardboard cuda for my dad. It has a electric motor so it can move. It goes extremely fast. I made dad one so it can race my one. I made my one ages ago and I also made my sister one. My one is the fastest, then my sister's, then my dad's. I have started making my mum a split window Kombi. I can't wait to see if it can beat my one. 


Here is a picture of a real cuda

Wooden Model Train

This trimester in wood work for my impact project I made a wooden model train. I finished it on the weekend during lockdown. It looks really cool. My dad helped me buy some bolts and washers. The train is made out of rimu and I added a couple of details.

I liked designing the plans for the train because I had to think of what I wanted the train to look like and where I wanted to put all the different details.

I got frustrated when the train slipped out of my fingers when I was bringing it to the shed. The whole back of it broken half because the wood splits easy. Luckily I was able to glue it back together.

I found it tricky to stain the train because the tin of stain got stirred up. All the thick stain at the bottom mixed with all the thin stain on the top. This made it really thick so was hard to paint on.

Here's is my wooden train that I built.

October Student Reflection Newsletter

 I have been writing my October student reflection newspaper.

I found it easy to take a selfie.

I found it tricky to think of what to write.


Tui Ridge thank you cards

Last week we went away to camp to Tui Ridge.
This week we had to write a letter to someone who's spent all their time making our camp so awesome. I wrote to Dom who was an instructor at Tui Ridge.

I found it easy to fire a slingshot and reload really quick.

I found it tricky to climb up all of the stairs going to the start the flying fox.

My digital learning object shows I can take a screenshot of my Google doc and put it onto my blog.
