Matariki kites

Happy Matariki everyone! 

On the 2 July we celebrated the Māori New Year, a time to consider the year ahead. The days are starting to lengthen and spring will soon be here, we just need to get through this cold winter first! 

Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have got many stories attached to them. We looked at two; one about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow coloured. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.

Question have you ever herd of a Matariki story before.

 

Silver Back Gorilla

 

This term we when to Orana park and we had to write notes about a few of the animals their. Then when we got back we had to choose one of the animals from Orana park to write a report on and I did silver back gorilla. And then we had to copy and paste it on to a doc and had to highlight it with simple,complex and compound sentences.

The volume is 240cm 3 squared

 

Today in Maths we had to make a 3D shape we worked in groups of two and I worked with Taine. We had to make the area 240cm3 and we got it right. Their were many ways to solve this problem in all kinds of shapes.

Sea Lions

 

Last week we had to choose out of four animals which were all close to extinct and i choosed sea lions. Our task was to write down some facts on a slide and then we had to voice record it and we only put a few words on it which were key words. 

Question have you ever seen a sea lion before?

In the after soon the teachers had a super cool idea for since we had too drop a egg from the makerspace and we had to design something to make it safely to the ground. And we could only use paper a bag 1m string cellotape and scissors.We only had 25 minutes and I think that we did pretty good for that amount of time.

Question have you ever tried this before comment if you have. :)
