Otaki Youth Space

 On Wednesday some members of the council came to ask us some questions about a youth space in Otaki, and what we think it should have they asked what we think it should have like spaces and activities. like basketball and a chill area there could be a Nerf night or a gaming night. I think that the youth place should be in the town because we can go there after school. I would want it to be a nice chill area where everyone can hangout.  I hope that the youth place will be a fun area to hangout. I think it should include a snack bar a gaming area a chill area .

sail boat

After we made sail cars we have been planning on making sail boats this is the design of my sail boat you need to have these items to make it 1 straw 2 bottles 1 square of card board  and 1 balloon and a keel and some tape . and we will have a sail its just not on there and its called the monkey racer. 

sail cars

 the other day we made sail cars to start I cut a square of cardboard and coloured it red the next I cut 1 cm of two straws then put some tooth picks in them them then. Megan put holes in 4 bottle tops then put the tops on the tooth picks and taped them on the bottom of my cardboard then put a tooth pick in the middle and put paper on the tooth pick in the middle and finished. I think everything went well apart from my wheels they where a bit wonky.

self portraits

 Over the past few weeks we have been making self portraits first we covered  a wooden board in news paper . Then we found 10 words about us then we painted the boards I painted mine red and blue because they were already on the paint trey next to me. Next we put a layer of pastel on a photo of our self the we practised by getting a pencil and putting a piece  of brown paper. Underneath the photo of our self then we pressed hard on the  photo on every little detail after that it was time to do the proper one you grab your board and use your photo and layer it with pastel again and press hard and go over every detail again  next you paint a shape of your choice and put it around the background of your board and then paint the background white. I think that my lower body went well and I found painting my face really hard.
