Paper Chairs! STEM.

We are learning to problem solve as a team.
We made a chair out of paper and tape it had to be 10 cm.
My team was  Mayah Talulah  Miller and Me but Miller wasn´t here so it was the three of us. We had about half an hour to make our paper chair. At the end I was pretty proud of it but when it was testing time we didn´t even make through the first stage. Stage one was a Chicorita plushie (Chicorita= Pokemon), and stage two was a long Tuatara. The thing that went well was probably all of us having a role to do, and the what we need to work on might be working as a team. It was pretty challenging making a chair out of paper I mean it harder then you think it is right.

Have you ever made something out of paper?

Explanation Writing

We have been learning to write an explanation about animal life animal life cycles. We had to do google docs about the life cycle of  Frog the life cycle of a Panda and the life cycle of a Tuatara. The thing that went well was that we got heaps of information about different animals. my next step is probably not saying they a lot at the start of my sentences.

Have you ever seen a life cycle before?







The Life Cycle Of A Tuatara!

Have you ever wondered about the life cycle of a Tuatara, egg to its full grown life well today your gonna find out!

The Egg Stage.

Tuatara eggs get buried in soil. They lay about ten-nineteen eggs at a time they stay in the soil for up to twelve-fifteen months. The Tuatara grows in the egg for time it is in the egg and they are soft and leathery                                                 (the eggs). The weather depends on which it is a male or female it will be a male if it is cold and a female if it is warm.

The Hatchling Stage

Secondly the Hatchlings come out of the eggs and are left to defend themselves. They also have three eyes the Hatchlings are twelve to fifteen centimetres long.

The Juvenile Stage

For the first fifteen years they are called Juveniles. Juveniles can not have babies. They avoid adult Tuataras cause they are cannibals and that's why they hunt in the day. They grow scales over their third eye because they don't ́t need it anymore and are about forty five- sixty centimetres.


The Tuatara Stage

Adult Tuataras sleep during the day and hunt during the night because they are nocturnal animals. They bask in the sun to get body temperature. They hibernate through the Winter to avoid the cold temperature and not much food like Bears. They have babies every three to four years. The food they eat are Beatles, Crickets, Spiders, frogs, Lizards, Centipedes, eggs, birds and members of its own species.
