My Most Amazing Creativity To Share

 Kia ora, I have been learning to measure length and area and construct a scale model of a castle. It was hard to make because you had to measure and cut cardboard and tape or glue the cardboard shapes together. The easy thing for me was to make it into a castle. I enjoyed making the castle though. Have you measured out a castle before?

 

Check Out This Great Music.

  Last week in Te Ngahere we started doing Chrome Music Lab which is a site that you can create rhythms music and things like that. We started doing the rhythm lesson, then we moved on to the melody lesson. I found it easy to create a rhythm because I could understand what a rhythm would sound like. I found it a little harder to create a melody because I didn't really know what it sounds like. My favourite lesson was the rhythm lesson because I enjoyed making different rhythms.Here is a link to Chrome Music Lab.Have you used Chrome Music Lab before?

Fabulous Fly Movies

 In Te Ngahere we have been filming  movies for a couple of weeks . Most of the groups finished their movies on time. My group finished our movie on time and our class got to watch it. It was really funny in one bit but then I couldn’t really understand my movie. My favourite movie was Almost There because it was a really catchy rap to listen to, Almost There was made by Stilly from my classroom. Did you like my movie?

Sharing My Knowledge On Te Reo

 Last week in Te Ngahere we started doing te reo maori for the weather and we started to read a book called Nga Tohu O Tawhirimatea  which in english translates to The Signs of Tawhirimatea. Here's two of the phrases I have been learning  he aha nga tohu o Tawhirimatea mo tenei wiki in english it means what's the weather forecast this week and A te raapa ka heke te ua which in english means on Wednesday the rain will fall. The hardest for me was to get the right pronunciation for the maori words. The easiest for me was to remember which picture goes with the maori kupu. Have you done Te Reo before?

I am Hope Treasure Hunt.

 Two weeks ago at Paihia School we did a Treasure hunt to raise money for I am hope foundation run by Mike King. In this picture is my friend Warren getting a prize from our Principal Mrs Lindsay.

MY Work I Absolutely Love Kawa of Care

 This term in Te Ngahere, we have been learning about Kawa of Care for are Chromebooks. The Kawa of care is when you take care of your Chromebook. I made a poster about three of the Kawa of Care rules. It was hard to find the pictures for it and it was really easy to write down the sentences. Do you have to follow Kawa of Care?

Creative Te Reo Maori DLO

 Kia ora, This term we have been making Maori DLOS for sports sentences. We had to learn some phrases about Maori sport sentences to because we had to learn how to pronounce the correct word right. Here are some of the Maori sentences I learnt, I tenei ra, I haere nga tamariki  ki te papa takaro which in english it means The children went to the sports field and here is my favourite one I ako ratou ki te mahi kirikiti which in english it means They learnt how to play cricket. For me it was hard to say the maori words but I practiced over and over again until I said the correctly, also it was easier to find the words than say them.Do you know how to speak Maori?
