SLJ/WK 2 - Bridge Builder (bridge design IRL)
Hi everyone! My name is Finau and welcome/welcome back to my blog.
I created a bridge design and tried to make one outside. It was quite fun,challenge,interesting to do. I'm very glad I had a few of the materials. This is a draft that I'm still working on so I hope that this bridge gets done or built in the next few weeks. As you can see the structure isn't very strong. I still don't know if I'll get it done. Vaha and Catherine helped out on this one. Make sure to check out the video!
I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment.

Tech @ Tamaki Hard Materials - Mask
Hello everyone, it's me Finau and welcome back to my blog! This week for hard material we made masks. Not ones you wear to keep safe/over your mouth and nose, one you probably use for a party or costume. Mr Grundy shared some of his designs and how to make one. We pressed a piece of paper against our nose and face. We got our pen and marked our eyes gently. We did some extra marking on the mask then cut it out. My ones did not come out as I expected but I continued making them. I improved just a bit. This activity was super fun. We laughed and shared our unique designs. I hope you have enjoyed this post.
