What Do You Know About A Quality Blog Post?

  In Te Ngahere we have been doing blogging. For blogging everyday our goal is to make a quality blog post for people to read and to make it more interesting as well. When blog posting you have to read the success criteria, it includes title, introduction, dlo, reflection, figure out where you got your picture and a question at the very end. Those are the six steps to be a successful person. Do you post for other people to teach or to get feedback? 

What Do You Think About Mini Golf?

 Over the past two weeks I have been playing some Mini Golf with my friends. It was really fantastic playing because I had to beat my friends. We had a challenge, who ever finished the obstacle would win $20. It was really challenging because we hit the ball so hard that it would fly out of the obstacle course. I hit two hole in one’s and my friends didn't get any. I tried my best to finish the course with the least points. Have you ever played anything related to golf before?

How To Create Music With Chrome Music Lab

 Today we have been creating some music with Chrome Music Lab. It is a website where you can make a rhythm or just play around. We have been doing some rhythms and a melody before we even started to use the song maker. I made the Pirates Of The Caribbean with the music maker. It was pretty hard because you have to figure out how fast/slow it goes, what instruments they had used and how the chord progression goes. Have you ever created a rhythm with Chrome Music Lab?

Here is my song.

How To Create a Calendar Art

 Today in Te Ngahere we have been doing art. We have been creating something called ‘Calendar Art’. It is really hard art because we have to follow the picture that is shaded out around 30%. It's a really fantastic art because you get to learn how to blend with colouring pencils. It is  really hard because when we draw the outline of the art it was really hard to see. 

Have you done Calendar art before?

If you want to create one here is a google slide

Last Day For Wonder Project

Today was our last day to do Wonder Project activities. We had our last launch, all the groups were watching, including the little kids. We all had turns launching our rockets, the furthest was Thea, Pharell, Ondreaus and more. They went about 79.1m. The prizes were chocolates and lollipops. Our rocket only went 27.6m, our second final launch was really good because we beat their group by 5m. It went 66.6m. Have you ever launched a rocket further than 60m?

What Do You Like About PE?

 Yesterday (Monday September 14) we had Ki O Rahi. It is a really fun game, if you don’t know what it is or you don’t know the rules, basically you have a ball and you go around avoiding the other team and touch the pool noodles. One touch means one point, if you are on the other team you have to stop the person from getting points. For the other team they have to pass the ball to their teammates that are close to them and they have to hit the bin in the middle to get points. I tried really hard to stop the team from getting points. Here is a google slide of the instructions if you want to play the game.

What Do You Know About Te Reo Maori?

This week we have been doing some Te Reo Maori. We have been learning to say the weather in Maori like rainbow, rain, sunshower, hurricane, tornado and more. We had to learn first before we could go off and make pairs with other people so test each other. After that, we finished learning the words in Maori. We then got to play a memory game. I tried my best to remember the cards it was  hard to remember where the cards were. Do you know what aniwaniwa means?

What Do You Know About Short Films?

 Over the past few weeks we had a film festival coming up. The film festival is where you film something like a movie, but it only had to be 2 - 3 minutes long. I don’t know much about the film festival but every film students make from every school is pretty fresh. My group is now up to filming. It took us 15 tries to get it all correct because I forgot some lines. It was pretty hard getting our movie done because there was a lot of screaming from other people. Have you ever created a short film before?

Here is my google slide of what we had to include in the movie

Wonder Project I’m Lovin’ It!

 Over the past few weeks we have been doing Wonder Project. Today is week 6 which means we get to build our rockets. We had to bring some 1.5 litre bottles so we could start building our rockets. We first had to watch a video that explains what we had to do. It went easy to hard because I had to put cardboard pieces with hot glue on the bottle which didn't make our rocket fly. Did you ever get to participate in the Wonder Project?

Here’s my wonder project

Sharing My Knowledge on Inferencing

 This week we have been doing some inferencing. For example if the author says that the character is crying then they would write down ‘He had tears running down his face’ That is called inferencing because the author shows us but doesn't tell us. We also had conference groups before covid-19 had started again. We had to do nine questions, it went easy to hard. It was really hard when I started doing inferencing. Have you ever tried inferencing while you were reading? 

Here is my Google Slide that has the inference texts.

How To Create A Short Film

 This week we have been doing some filming. We first started off by watching some films that other people had created. We also watched a short film that our classmates did. After we were done watching we had to look at the success criteria to see what we needed to do in order to film. It was really easy because I created a film before. I felt like a director after I finished my script. I tried really hard to finish my movie planning. Have you ever created a short film before?

Here is the link to my planning:
