Today some Matawai students came to our school for the day. We did physical education in the first block and then we did a challenge. We had to make a paper plane that included 4 pieces of 4 straws some blue tack and some tap. I was in a group with two Matawai girls and and one our my friends from school.
In our group we had to have some Matiwai students, a mixture of year 7s and 8s. We had to follow a few rules while making our paper planes. We had to use all the equipment except the tape and we only had 20 minutes. We folded a paper plane and then added the straws to make it more structured and the tape to hold things together. We didn't really have any place to put the bluetack so we just stuck it to the bottom of the plane. We tested the plane a few times before the length challenge and we thought it was too heavy. There was nothing we could change about it some we entered the challenge.
We didn't go very well but we didn't came last. Of plane was to heavy and that was why it didn't go as far as the best ones. I thought it is fun working with others that you don't normally work with. Then again I thought it a little hard working with people who you can't relate to as much. Overall I think it was really cool working with Matawai and having them at our school for the day.
