Scary Shark Island

Hello bloggers 

For math this week we have been working on a thing on grid paper called Shark Island where we place our left hand in the middle of the page and draw around it. Then on and around the hand-shaped, you add things to it that the slide says to do. 

I really enjoyed doing the coloring of this activity. Have you ever done anything like this at school?

Here's mine I haven't finished it yet.

Potato Collector

 Hello Bloggers

Yesterday at the school zoom meeting we were told to create a potato collector, we had the choice to draw it on paper, Create it on pixel art or make it in real life. I chose to do it in real life. But the rule was that you were only allowed to use the stuff that would have been available to the Maori back then - rocks, plants, sticks, flax, shells, and leaves. I used a shell, 3 sticks, and flax. I really enjoyed creating it and tieing it all together with flax. Do you have any ideas for making a Potato collector? Here are some pictures.                                                                                                              This was my plan 

                                                                 And this was the real thing

 

Instructional Writing - How to make a cup of tea

 Hello Bloggers

This week for literacy we have been focusing on Instructional Writing. One of the things to do was write how to make a cup of tea on a template. First, we had to write what we needed to make the cup with, then we had to write the steps in order how to make it. After we had written how to do it on the template we actually made a cup of tea. Miss Roberts was making the cup of tea on the table and we all sat around the table telling her what to do. I really enjoyed writing the steps on how to make it. Do you know how to make a cup of tea?

Do you know anything about the Christchurch earthquake? Comment down below what you know about the Christchurch earthquake.

Kia tau, Kia tere, and Kia tūрatō Animation

 Hello bloggers

Every day at the start of the day we go through a set of slides and one of them is having to say a Maori sentence. You can choose to say Kia tau / Be still, Kia tere / Be quick, or Kia tūрatō / Be careful. Then we were told we needed to do an animation about it, we could do it with a buddy or by ourselves, I'm doing mine with Izzy. We're still working on it. I really enjoyed finding the images for the animation. What Maori words do you know and what do they mean?
