Taniwha battle bots

Taniwha battle bots

Today we made battle bots for our Spheros. Spheros are a small, round robot they can change colour to almost every colour. Battle bots are things that you can make to put on top of your Sphero. the things that we used are cardboard, cellotape, felt pens, scissors, a cup, a straw and a balloon. This is our battle bot with the sphero inside it. 

                               


This is how you make a battle bot.
1) Get a cup and a piece of cardboard, cut a hole in the cardboard, the hole should be the size of the bottom of the cup just like the cup in the photo.
2) slide the cup through the hole and tape the bottom of the cup to make sure that it doesn't come out of the cardboard when you drive it.
3) now fold up the edges and tape it.
4) put your straw on the top of your cup add a pin to the end of your straw and you are finished.

Now all you have to do is put your sphero in and have FUN!!!

My action plan

The Roller coaster ride

The wheels began turning as the carriage started moving

along the tracks. I started to feel sick like

I was about to throw. We started to move

up the first tall hill and then whoosh, we had

gone down the steep mountain of wood and metal.

Once it was over I began to feel a bit better,

I soon realized that there was more yet to go.

I saw the big twisty turny part of the roller coaster

and then I approached it, I was so nervous for

this part of the ride.

After a while of being scared of what

would happen, the roller coaster

was tilting to the side, I  felt my heart

pounding so hard I thought

it was going to pop out of my chest. I

was soon upside down! I realized that only

meant it was nearly over but I didn't want it to

be over yet. I started off being as terrified as

I could ever be, and now I just didn’t

want it to end.

Then we started to slow down and we

came to a soft stop. After that,

all I wanted to do was go on it again

and again and again but it was time

to move on to the next ride. I was so thrilled

that I had done, and without throwing

up either!

Chapter 1: The Portale

Olive saw a flash of light out of the corner of her eye, it was raining outside so she thought it was just lightning, but it kept on going so she started to get a little suspicious, so she started to slowly turn around and there was a portale right in front of her!
Olive screamed so hard that she couldn't hear herself, it was so loud that no body could hear her, once she had finished silent screaming she slowly stepped through the portle.

Can you guess what it is?

Kinetic sand experiment.

1. First Breanna and Mikeala went out to the sand pit area and got 1 Cup of  dry sand.

2. Then we poured the sand and ½ a cup of corn starch into an ice cream container and mixed until it was all combined.
3. Next we mixed the soap liquid into the water we needed 1 tsp of soap liquid and ¼ cup of water
4. Then we slowly added the water mix to the sand mix and mixed it all together
5. After that we had to use our hands to make the kinetic sand into a
6. ball to see if it would hold its shape. We really enjoyed making this
7. kinetic sand.
