My Inquiry Learning

Hey bloggers, I'm back with my learning. Last term we started designing tote bags for our Celebration day coming up next week on Saturday. We are also designing tote bag so other people would stop using plastic bags and also you can reuse the tote bags. This is how you make a tote bag.  
First you have to have your two pieces of fabric ready to pin together but you don't pin the top part of the fabric together because its for the opening of your bag.  

Second you have to get your sewing machine and start sewing your fabric together except the the top bit where you did not pin it together. 

Third, fold the first top and sew it together and then repeat it again. 

Now you sew on some straps. After that your done. Its should look something like this.

Here are some other photos......

This was a little hard because I have never sewed before. I learnt how to sew and make a tote bag. My first tote bag I made was a little hard to do because sewing on the straps were a bit hard for me. On the Celebration day the money is going the junior playground. My second bag I made was really good and also my third one is good. I'm making a fourth bag but i'm not quite finish with it yet. Tote bags are better than  plastic bags because plastics bags can kill sea animal. Feel free to comment. Blog you later!

 

My NZ Journey

Hey Bloggers, I'm back with my learning. At the the start of Term 4, we started this maths slide show where we had to travel from the bottom of the NZ South Island up to the North Island. We had to calculate how much the hotels were, the car rent, the petrol and the activities. One of the hard parts were that everyday there is a $500 dollar budget. Here is my slide show.

I think that this slide show was really hard because everyday you have to spend $500 or under. Another reason this was hard was because it was hard to count up the petrol costs. My total cost was $5098. I did go over budget with some days. One of my favourite places were going to Auckland because there were a lot of activities to pick out. One of the activities that I really wanted to do but I couldn't because of how much it costed was bungy jumping.  I learnt that it can be hard to go on a trip around New Zealand because it costs too much money. Hope you liked my slide show. Blog you later.
