Sail Boats By Sammy

 

We have been making sail boats which was very fun. Were going to sail them in the school pool and in the river At the pools I think. Jordan and I were partners and we made a boat. 

 

The things we used: Ice cream container for the base.

 Plastic bowl for the Keel 

 Skewer for the Mast 

 Plastic for the sail and Tape to tape the plastic on 

 

I enjoyed this a lot. It was exiting to make and fun. 

We have taken Some photos and this is them! 

I bet our boat will go far down the stream and pool.

Sail Boat By Sammy And Jordan

We are now making Sail Boats in class inspired by the Americas Cup. Me and Jordan are in a pair and we will show you our sail boat design. We will be making them on Monday and after everyone has made theirs we will sail them at the pool. 

I am really exited to make it. Me and Jordan have made a list of materials of what we will need. 

And to finish the design we will put Stick people so they can enjoy the ride.

The Base of the boat will be an Ice cream container. The sail will be card paper. The mast will be skewers same as the keel and rudder. 

          

Wind Cars By Sammy!

During week 7 We have been Making sail cars. I made my sail car pink. It was really fun making the sail cars. I used paper, Card, Hot Glue, Tape, Wheels, straws and skewers. We raced our cars which was a lot of fun! I really liked seeing what people had made and seeing them race.

What was good about my car was it was fast but not as fast as everyone else's

What didn't go well is it went to one side because of the sail. It also Wasn't to fast

I really like my car and I'm excited to make boats next!

   

Self portrait Paintings By Sammy!

 During the week we have been Making self portraits of ourselves! I will give you some steps of how we did it!

1. We got some wood boards and covered it with newspaper and glue.

2.We found 10 or 8 words about us. Like mine was Sport, Smile, Legend, Happy, Big heart, Cricket, Netball, NZ! 

3.This was one of my favourite parts... PAINTING! I chose an angle paint with nice bright colours.

4.I used some Practice paper to practice Tracing the drawing with pastel on the bottom of a picture of me and used a pencil to trace over it.

5.After we had done the tracing we went onto our outlines with black paint to see the painting better to see.

I found step 3 my favourite part of it all Because you got to choose your colours that you like!

But I found step 5 the outlining a little tricky Because I was worried I would go outside the line!
