Beeswax Wraps

Hello bloggers!

Last week me and my class made beeswax wraps, we made them so we can reduce the amount of plastic in our lunchboxes. Beeswax wraps are reusable so instead of using sandwich bags which are plastic and not really reusable we can put our sandwich in our beeswax wraps. 

Recently Tuffery Class has been learning about how much plastic the world uses, how to reduce plastic waste and also about plastic in the ocean. We learnt that so many marine animals die each year because of the plastic in the ocean so we decided we should try to reduce our plastic waste and then we made beeswax wraps. 

To make beeswax wraps we need 100% cotton (fabric), pinking shear (zig zag scissors), beeswax pellets, baking paper, a towel an an iron.  First pick a fabric of your choice, cut the fabric into a square with a pinking shear 30cm by 30cm then sprinkle a 1-2 handfuls of beeswax pellets and spread them out evenly. After that put a layer of baking paper on the top and bottom of the fabric so your iron doesn't get damaged then iron the beeswax slowly and gently so it melts on the fabric. When you can't see the beeswax pellets anymore and it has all melted peel of the baking paper gently then take the beeswax wrap of the baking paper and let it dry. 

Here is a picture of me making a beeswax wrap:

           

 

How and why we should reduce our plastic waste

Hey there bloggers!

This week my reading group Hufflepuff read about plastic waste and we also watched some videos about it. After doing that we were told to make a info graphic to encourage people to reduce their plastic waste. I hope this encourages you!

Right place, right time

Kia ora bloggers!

Today I will be showing you some slides I made about being on the right place at the right time on our Chromebooks.
Being on the right site at the right time is a rule of Kawa Of Care, Kawa Of Care has rules for our Chromebooks safety.
The reason I am posting this is because it was one of our class tasks and maybe to convince people?

Hope you like it!

What makes a good blog post?

Hello bloggers!

Today me and my class were told to write down things that make a blog post good.
This might be helpful for some people who are not that good at blogging or people who don't know what makes a good blog post. So I will post my work and maybe I can help some people.

Here is my work!



I hope this helped. If you have any questions you can ask me in the comments!

Trip To Stardome

Hey There Bloggers!

I will be telling you about me and Tuffery Class's trip to Stardome.

On Tuesday 23rd June me and my class went on a trip to Stardome. We went there to learn more about Matariki, For example when we can see the Matariki stars and a little bit about how we can 

spot them. We also learnt and listened to some Maori legends.

Here is a little bit about what I have learnt from the Stardome trip and a question I have. 

Samoan Siapo Pattern

Greetings bloggers,

Last week was Samoan language week!

Last week ( Samoan language week ) we were asked to make a Siapo pattern. This task was quiet easy for me since we did it on our chrome books and our teacher had already given us the patterns. The only thing we had to do was make a pattern by re sizing rotating and more. Here is my Siapo pattern!
