Invention reflection

Invention reflection

The last few weeks we have learning about inventions. First we looked at the buggy parts and we wrote an question are for the parents to tell us what they liked about our buggy. Then we started thinking about what we wanted to make. Next we made our invention and had to write a few paragraphs graphs about the

These are our 2 in 1 shoes

prices, how it works, and what it is. Finally every group in the class presented to by teacher and an teenager called Izzy and the 3 best went to the real dragon den and presented to 5 parents and 1 real lady from dragons den. A boy in by class called Daniel won.  

Here are some dragon den videos:

• The magic wand
• Magic whiteboard
• Cushin shade

My feelings:

By most enjoyable part was when we were writing the script together with my buddy because we worked together as a team.

The hardest part was when we had to work out the different prices for our 2 in 1 shoes because I am not very good at math and working out prices

If I was to do this again I would make the sneaker material water proof and come in different colors and patterns because then boys and girls like it and it doesn't get wet when it rains.

The messiest part was when the Velcro would not stick to the shoe and would stick to us because Velcro is not made to be stuck onto material.

The scariest moment was when we had to answer the dragons questions because some of the questions I didn't know the answer to.

When I was talking to the dragon I felt nervous but I also felt proud that I was talking in front of the whole class and the dragons because I am usually shy in front of a big audience.

The most embarrassing part was when I talked in front of the dragons because it felt like I was getting all the questions wrong.

This is the information for our invention:

My baking term 3 holidays

Term three school holiday

Term three school holiday

During the holidays I did lots of baking (Here is the link for the photo collage I did about my baking).The first week of the holidays had nice weather with only a few downpours of rain. Because of this nice weather we had a few trips to the beach and went on a big walk and a bike ride. We also went on an outing to Auckland art gallery and visited the new library in takapuna. On Saturday we went to the mall and watched the movie “Planes”. On Sunday we went to Coatesville market and had afternoon tea at a new cafe there.

The second week of the school holidays we did lots of activities. We went to the Observatory in the city with my dad. We watched a show about the changing of seasons and afterwards we made a craft dilemma about the seasons. On another day, I had a lesson about how to do embroider at Takapuna library. On Thursday, my brother and I went to an italian course and made christmas trees and decorations out of driftwood. On the last day of the holiday, we went to the Bruce Mason theater and watched “Sleeping beauty”. I had an awesome holiday.
