Gondwanaland Play Reflection


Room 20 Production Refection
On Friday the 24th of May it was room 20’s turn to do an assembly item.Our item was about “Gondwanaland”.

My part was the moa. A moa is part of the ostrich family. My lines were “First came the Maori and their giant Waka. They also brought with them some strange furry creatures like a small dog and an even smaller rat. The rat really likes the tuatara. The Maori they took a liking to us moa.-In fact they ate us all up now we’re extinct all gone.     

My favorite and funniest part of the play was when I was going on stage to do my part and my picture of a moa that Mr. Ford drew got caught on the handlebar. A few seconds later my ears picked up a sound of some little kids laughing and I went a little bit red.

The thing that I think I improved was that I had a much clearer voice than our practice.

This play is about how we got here and how NZ formed. 180,000,000 years ago NZ looked very, very different than it does today. Because 180,000,000 years ago NZ was joined together with other continents like: Australia, Antarctica and India. All the continents slowly moved away from each other about 6 cm every year. New Zealand was only a little piece of land. Then very slowly as the continents moved away from each NZ got wider and it was called NZ. And that's how we got here.

My Cube


                                                       

                                                       MY CUBE!
              If I covered my cube with gold paper I would need:
             
                                     Left side 5x5=25 
                                     Right side 5x5=25
                                     Top 5x5=25
                                     Bottom 5x5=25
                                     Other right side 5x5=25
                                     Other left side 5x5=25
      
        All together I would need 25+25+25+25+25+25=
        The way I can work this out is: 20+20+20+20+20+20=120.
        Then 5+5+5+5+5+5+=30.
        After that I will add up the 2 totals that I got and that will be                     
        my answer! 30+20=50+100=150 square cm!
       
Volume
Inside my cube there is enough room for 125 square cm lollies or blocks.
