In Week 9, Term 2 , we had a day of activities based on Matariki. We got sorted into groups and did rotations. Most of us got to do 2 different activities but some only did one activity if it took a long time. I chose to take part in: Tin can art and paper plate stars
In Week 8, Miss Fletcher gave us a science lesson about Matariki. If stars twinkle was the experiment. It was easy and fun. I liked it. We had to write some notes about it. Here is my work:
In Week 7, we went outside and looked at the old wooden playground to see if we could think how to write about it using personification. We tried to think about the old playground as if it were an old person. We wondered what the old playground might look like or do that was like an old person. Here is my work:
This week my reading group did a slide about Matariki because we have been learning about Matariki. Well, one of the tasks was about matching English words to Maori words. Here is my work:
We did some coding with robots this week to vist all the Matariki stars in one go. I got a video of mine and my friends one going around to see the stars if you like it thank you but if you don't please go away please okay if you did thank you. I couldn't find the video sorry.
This week we made stuff about Matariki and flax stars. We had to cut the flax from the bottom of the bush you'll know why when you read my presentation. It was fun and challenging and I learned something new.
In Week Seven of Term 2, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: The Day the Crayons Quit. It was about crayons that wrote letters to their owner Duncan about why they wanted to stop being used so much.
I chose to build something which shows how unique every colour is in the natural enviroment.
Here is my work:
