Matariki

 Kia ora bloggers, 

Welcome back to my blog. For the past few weeks, we have been working on Matariki-related things. If you don't know what Matariki is it is a star cluster that has 7 stars they are Matariki, Ururangi, Waipunarangi, Waita, Waiti, Tupu-A-Nuku, and Tupu-A-Rangi. This is a very hugely celebrated thing in NZ. 

Our job was to make a cool Matariki art using a piece of foam. You have to draw the stars and mountains onto a piece of foam and then you have to use printing paint to print it on. Then you have to put the foam onto a piece of paper and then you would get a cool-looking piece of art.

Here is my work. 

I hope you liked my work. I put a lot of effort into it so I hope you liked it. I think that I did my best. 

Pūtatara

 For Inquiry, we are going to be playing drums and ukuleles. I want to play the drums. While my group wasn't learning how to play the drums with mr G, we had to find out about a Maori instrument. So I searched up ''Maori instruments'' and found Putatara

Save the birds

 Hi blogger

This week, we made a poster about saving the birds. You could choose your Predator, so I picked cats because I know that cats are very good at hunting and that they are mini tigers.

For the poster, I used Canva because Canva is fun to use.

Did you like the poster?

RIP BOB

 Hi bloggers 

today we did Mrs. O's steam challenge.

The problem was that

Some people are injured at the bottom of a sheer rock face.  They need medicine, some of which is fragile and has to be packaged so that it will not break.  You do not have a cord to lower it gently; it will have to be dropped.  We tried to protect an egg. Our egg was called Bob

we could only use 

3 A4 sheets of paper

A plastic bag

1 meter of String 

1 sheet of thin card

Sellotape

Scissors

1 sheet of A4 paper to sketch 

What design would you have used?

Kiwi VS Moa

Hi bloggers How has your first week been at school? This week and literacy we have been talking about adaptation and how birds in New Zealand have adapted to the environment and good now we've been moving to preation. We had to chose two navite birds and had to look at each of there adaptations. There is three types of adaptations, structural adaptations behavioural adaptation and physiological adaptations. I made a venn diagram about the adaptations of the Kiwi and the Moa.

What is your favourite type of bird?

Holocaust site

Hi Bloggers This term we have been learning about the holocaust. We started on this topic by reading the book once by morris Gieizman, and then we started to resreach about the queistons and took notes. We had to make a site and a named the pages. In my writing I was focusing on which language features I use and the technical words as well as writing it in past tense. Our task was to make a google site and come up with questions starting with "who what when where why and how" also about the concentration camps Then we had to make some connections with the world and the book "Once" by morris gieizman.
