Terrific tips on how to stay safe on a boat

Recently Whaea Tracy came to Paihia School for the last time this year. Once again she has taught me a lot. Most of the things she talked about I already knew but needed a reminder. She talked to Te Ngahere about boat safety. Something new I learnt this time was about different types of flares and what they do. There are three different flares. We learnt about the parachute flare, orange cloudflare and smoke flare. I learnt that the parachute flare is the best flare Because it stays visible in the sky more than the others. We also had to create a DLO  about 5 ways to stay safe on a boat. Next time I go on a boat I will remember these terrific tips

Here is my DLO

STEAM

In Te Ngahere for the first day back at School we did a Steam challenge. We were learning how to make a free standing tower using 2 sheets of newspaper and a 30 cm piece of tape. This steam challenge was very challenging for me. With our equipment we had to see who can build the tallest tower only using that equipment. We were not allowed to lean it on a table or anything else like a chair ect it had to be free standing tower. Emma and Zhynaliyah  Built the tallest free standing tower It was measured upto 118cm. The base of the tower worked well for our group because it made our tower easier to stand and keep stable. I found out that trying to keep the tower stable is very Hard. I Worked well with my group members Because we were listening to each other's ideas and we all helped each other. We also could of Made our tower taller and the top of the tower straight.

Here is a  photo of me and my group and our tower.
