Trip to the Museum
On the 16th of September 2019 the Tumu hub went to The Christchurch museum It was a lot of fun. I learnt a lot of stuff especially back in the Maori/Europeans times. Here are five things I learnt:

• Did you know that the expected life span in those times were about 27 years old?
• By the time you were 14 you'd be an adult.
• Since there were edible berry's and then poisons ones the elderly's would be the testers.
• The Maori's made small but high tree house's to keep there food in so animals and rats don't eat their food.
• Moa's were like number one of the biggest pray to the Maori's 

And then we learnt some stuff about Antarctica, Dinosaurs, Insects and Olden day equipment.
Here's a photo of us when we were learning about Antarctica

See that blondey? Thats' me 

And that's me, again looking physco with an Axe

when we were trying out what the Maori's equipment was like.

So in conclusion it was really fun I learnt so much and I hope you did to.

At st Francis school The tumu hub likes to do these things called math's boards. They are presented on google slides and on then you write down a math question answer it, show your working out, solve it another way and make a word problem! we have to do one every week.

Question time:

Does your school do things similar If you do please answer in the comments!?

Our math boards

Math boards

For math we do these things called math boards.
Another week of school means another math board to complete. Math boards are things we do on google slides. Our teachers give us a list of questions on our hub site we chose one question and work it out on google slides
the question in kinda easy so I can show it easily. 
3 times 30 I knew the answer straight away because 3 threes are nice but just add a zero or another way 10 + 10 + 10 = 30.




Question time!
Do you do math boards at your school or at least something similar?
if you do please share in the comments

Thanks for reading!

Our PBL challenges!

Our PBL Challenges!

For our PBL pour focus is "How can we use innovation to improve our lives" So our teacher thought we could do Mini challenges, so each home base had an activity. Our home base had to create a boat that will stand on water and the teacher puts marbles on the boat to see how many marbles it would hold--The one that held the most marbles -WON. 

We had to make the boat with:

• Tin foil
• Straws
• Plastic cups
• Tape 

I was in a good group we created it with tin foil as the base (obviously we had to use a lot of tin foil to get the boast structures and stable) Then we used the tape to form the boat and to get the tin foil base stay together.  

We used the straws as decorations at the front of the boat.

This is our picture:

Sadly we did not win. But we can 3rd I'm happy with what we made it went REALLY well.

Next time I would made The walls of the boat much higher. Because the walls on the boat is kind-of what let us down.

In-conclusion: I really enjoyed making it, It was really fun to do I hope we can do something more like this again!.

Question: Have you made anything similar or done anything similar?
