Whenua iti

Last week we went to Whenua Iti in Lower Moutere. We did high ropes, trapeze and played some games. We had heaps of fun and it improved our confidence. :)

These are our fractions 3/50, 2/25, 6/25, 16/25.

Today for maths we had to create a subculture with marshmallows and tooth picks. We had to find out what fractions of a colour marshmallow we had. Taylor and I had 3/7 of pink and we had 35 all together.
This is ours.

Making Pjs!

In the past few days I have been making some pajama pants!

Its really easy!

First I used my old pjs as a pattern to trace around the front and back on a piece of news paper, then cut them out!

The next steps got kinda tricky as I had to match up my fabric as it has different coloured lines of hearts on it so when sewed together it looked like the lines keep going.

Then i cut out the legs on the material using the news paper pattern as a template.

Next i sewed the crutch and inside legs of both legs together.

Now at this stage it didn't look like pants at all but it gets there.

Then i sewed up the sides, now thats more like it!

I haven't done anything else yet but I'm getting there!

I'll let you know when I'm finished them.
