Fun Fencing And Farming

Hi readers and bloggers, most of New Zealand has gone into level 3! Hopefully, we go to level 2, and then we can all go back to school because I want to go and see my friends! Every week in Toroa we have to pick out an inquiry task, I did this task on different ways to protect our waterways and make it into a poster. Make sure to read my poster and give feedback. What do you know about New Zealand's waterways? Bye!

Marvellous Memories

 

Hi readers and bloggers, we have been in lockdown for 9 to 10 days now! In Toroa we have been using google meet again. It's kinda cool cause I still get to see my friends. In Mr Gillstroms literacy yesterday we wrote about our favorite memories. I wrote about the time I went to America with my family, we went around 2015 and it was the best holiday! I wrote about all the fun things I did in America so feel free to leave a comment! Have you ever been out of New Zealand? Where have you been? I'll see you again, bye!

Lockdown Learning

 

Hi readers and bloggers, were back to online learning in lockdown! At school before lockdown, we were learning about water like where it comes from and pollution in the water. One of our tasks in lockdown is to create an animation about pollution and how were causing it. I hope you like my animation. Do you like online learning?

Cool Matariki Kite

Hi Readers and Bloggers Happy Matariki! 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.

My kite has a Maori face to represent strength and I have put a spear to represent fearless and strong.  The colours for the background of my kite is red gold and green.

Have you made a Matariki kite before? What did you draw? I'll see you next time.

Happy Hokey Pokey

 

Hi Readers and Bloggers, in Mr shaws numeracy we have been doing measurements. And this week we have been doing baking.  Our group was Coll Tuari Jayden and I. We made hokey pokey with chocolate on top. Our first batch was completely burnt... but the second batch was perfectly golden brown kinda.

We used a bit too much chocolate on top but it still tasted good. Have you done any baking? What did you bake? I'll see you next time!

Mindful Matariki

Kia ora readers and bloggers, This term in toroa we have been doing printing. we had 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. 

My question for you is have you ever seen the Matariki Cluster? If you have comment down below.

Magnificent Measurements

Hi Readers and bloggers, this term in Mr Shaw math were doing perimeter, area and volume. If you don't know how to do it. I have put a slide on my post and you can look at it to learn how to do it. Were also making a 3 x 6 cardboard house. Have you learned how to do measurements? I'll see you guys later bye!!
