My Amazing Poupou Art

Kia ora this week in Te Ngahere we have been doing art and the type of art is poupou. We had to practice first on a A4 paper to sketch it out. When I finished my practice copy I went on my A3 paper which is bigger than the A4 paper. We had to sketch it again for our good copy the same as our other copy. It didn’t take me that long to sketch my poupou on the good copy but when it came to the vivid I was shaking a lot. After that I went on my pastels we had a colour wheel to pick our colours. I picked cool colours like green, blue, purple, yellow green and violet. For my mouth it was hard because we had to sketch a wide heart but the easiest was my body shape and my nose. For my background it’s warm colours like red, orange and yellow I hope you enjoyed my Have you sketched a poupou before?

Our Amazing Terrific Fractions

This week we have been learning our fractions. Jade and I love learning about fractions  sometimes it gets a little tricky but it's fun.  We keep learning and learning our factions we want to do more everyday but we can’t. If you don’t know what numerator and denominator is. The numerator tells you what is left and the denominator tells you how much was in the whole set. Here is a video you can watch I hope you enjoyed learning with us.

Mind Blowing Chain Domino Effect Trick Shot

This week at school we have been doing another trick shot. It’s called chain domino effect we had to use our creative minds. We made a group of three here is the people in my group Yazmin, Fern and me. We had lots of ideas but my group and I didn’t think it would work. So since it is a domino effect we got our school stationery and some cardboard. We put the table and the desk together and set it up. First we put the domino effect up on the desk, we put glue sticks, a rubber and a highlighter.  We put the cardboard on the side of the desk then we put some more cardboard on the chair. So since the glue stick can’t knock itself over we put a rubber on top of it. The ball was at the end of the highlighter and we made a slide with the cardboard. We knocked the rubber then all the pens came down and the ping pong ball went i the egg cartoon and IT WORKED! We were so happy it worked. Here is a video you can watch. Have you tried something similar to this?

Our Amazing Mind Blowing Trick Shot

This week at school we have been doing this challenge called trick shot. We made a group

of five people and used our creative minds. We made so many mistakes here is one we made. We had a idea we were going to bounce  the ping pong ball off the picnic table and down our cardboard creation and into the cup but it didn’t work for a while. We kept on doing it and IT WORKED! We were so happy it worked but Whea Shanna came and told us it had to be 3 seconds. Well it wasn't 3 seconds exactly but it was 1 or 2 seconds. So we made another fantastic cardboard creation. So we got the box and cut it in half and taped the sides on the box and then we were ready to try that again. !IT  FINALLY WORKED!  It was 3 second straight. The strategy that were thinking about was the same person that bounced the ball will stay there as well the cardboard person. Have you tried to do this with a ping pong ball?

My Amazing Terrific Math Eyes

WALT  Yesterday we were learning how  to use our maths eyes identify maths in the world around us. 


In Te Ngahere we have been looking around with our  math eyes like pattern shapes and  what's the odd one out. We have been learning to see what patterns we could see in the gingerbread men. I learnt how to use my math eyes and actually looked around and see all those patterns and shapes. The strategy is really good to use your math eyes because you can actually see things. Do you have math eyes?

Turbo Touch

In Te Ngahere we have been doing Turbo Touch. You have to use teamwork so you WIN!

When the coach says open you start running to your goal and try get a point. If you drop the ball you hand it over to the other team. If the girls get a goal your team will get double points. So lucky me I’m a girl and I get DOUBLE POINTS! Most of the boys have girls on their team so they can win the game. At the end of the day we had so much fun and if you didn’t win then it’s alright, at least you had a great time.

                                                                                

The Ngahere

Yesterday Te Ngahere went for a walk up in the bush. Before we entered the track we all washed our shoes because we could bring in a disease. We went in our groups that we got told to and went on the track. It was very quiet then we heard some birds singing. Fern asked Gina what bird it was Gina said it was a tui. We saw some spider webs it was a weird shape. There was a little waterfall full of fresh water with little fish. There was a tree that looked like there were mushrooms on it but Gina said it wasn’t mushrooms. Then Jade saw a type of fungi she keep on touching it she said it was kinda fluffy. I enjoyed it because it was peace and quiet and you could hear the birds.  It was a very good walk because there was lots of stuff to look at.
