Paper Planes

Whetu Challenge - Paper Planes


Today our challenge was to design an accurate paper plane. We were given a draft piece of paper to trial and a good piece to use once we had tested the accuracy of it.


Before we started I thought this challenge was going to be really hard I didn't think it was easy.


I decided to use the design because it looked like it will be accurate.


The hardest part was to get the folds right.

During our competition time I managed to score 6.

Tennis Ball Tower Challenge


Today for our Whetu Challenge we worked in a group to build a tower out of newspaper, 2 straws and sellotape. We needed to make our tower strong enough to hold a tennis ball and be able to stand alone (not leaning on anything or needing support).


Today I worked with Ryan and Max.


At first we had trouble with getting it stable.


The easiest thing was making the hold for the tennis ball.


The best part of our tower was the top it looked really spiky


Our tower looked really cool I like how it came out.


In the end I think we did really good.
