Summer learning journey / Fishing False Teeth

 Today i did a activity from the summer learning journey. The activity i was doing was the Fishing False Teeth. The activity for Fishing False Teeth  is that there were two mans fishing. And then the man sneezed and his teeth came out and the the man next to him was laughing because he moved the boat and the teeth fell out. Then that man caught a fish and put his teeth into the fish. But the man thought is was his teeth but it was the other man teeth so the man that tried the teeth threw the teeth into the water because it did't fit in his mouth.

I enjoyed this activity because it helps me know what the video is about and what they are saying

Today I did a activity from the summer learning journey. The activity i was doing was to make a koru. We had to make a koru and to design our background that represents the summer.

I enjoyed this activity very much because it tells me that making art is a good idea so people can ask about what your art represents.

Maori Names

 Today I had to translate Maori words into conversations.

First we were given ideas to help us match  Maori names into English names with out using a Maori dictionary.

Second we had to Translate Maori conversation into English conversation. We were aloud to use a Maori dictionary to help us translate the conversation. 

Example of translating Maori conversation  into English conversation 

Tēna korua- Hello

Ko Ashley taku ingoa- My name is Ashley 

Ko Henare tōku papa- My dad

Ko Moana tōku mama- My mum

   

 

Writing

 Today we had a  performance on our school stage. 

When the performance group  came through the door they played a putara for their entrance ceremony. The performance group did different maori dances which used ti rakau, poi, taiaha.

Next they explained how to use them and what they were for. 

They also performed a haka for the school, then the kapa haka boys also performed a haka for the people and the parents who came. 

At the end we played a game called Maui and matou. Maui means left and matou means right. To play this game you have to have a stick and when someone says Maui you let go of your stick and go to the other one near you and it is the same for matou.

Resource Requisition l Inquiry

 Most natural disasters are common and can be found at any time in the world.  

 Humans need shelters and protection during a natural disaster. Storms may be common disasters but are really powerful sometimes.

All materials can be useful for something during a natural disaster, e.g: wool can keep you warm, stainless steel is a strong material that can not break, cardboard is an inside wall, etc.

Shelters windows could use strong clear plastic, since they are strong it would be hard for it to break, popsicle sticks can break easily but if you put a lot of layers there's a chance it can not break

Mathematics also can help during buying products to prevent natural disasters. The mathematics to measure our products we are using for the shelter.

Natural disasters come in all sorts, and sometimes make global problems around the world.

This week we learned about fractions. A fraction is a whole thing cut into equal pieces.

First we made quarters. Then we had to draw a line to make halves. Next we  drew another line to make quarters.

Second we made eighths.We had to use another cup so we drew a line that make  halves. Then we had to draw another line that can make quarters. After that we had to draw another line to make eighths.
