Calendar Art.

This week in Te Ngahere we have been doing art. We are learning how to draw continuous lines, draw curves, rule straight lines, select colour effect and how to blend colours. First off we got a piece of paper with a slight outline. We had to go over the outline to practice drawing the picture. Once we get confident we then get a big piece of paper and draw the picture on the paper. It was really hard to see the outline when we were practicing so I keep going off course. One thing  I like so far about the drawing is getting to draw the patterns. Have you done a calendar art before?

Through The Window.

This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning how to find and measure perimeter and area in 2 dimensional shapes. Here is a screencastify to show my work. I found it hard at first because I didn't know how to find the perimeter and area but once I got taught how to it was really easy. Do you know how to find perimeter and area?

Wonder Project

This week in Te Ngahere we have been working on launching our rockets. We had to put an even amount of water and air pressure into the rocket. If we didn't have an even amount of water and air pressure in the rocket then it wouldn't go as far as it could possibly go. We noticed that once we had launched it when the rocket was coming back down to the ground it flew in a zigzag pattern instead of flying straight. Have you launched a rocket before? Here is a video of us launching our rocket.

Ki o Rahi

This week in Te Ngahere we have been practicing drills for Ki o Rahi. We have been learning passing, catching, evasion, ripping, jump shots and defending. There are two teams Taniwha and Kīoma. Kīoma has to run in Te Ao and hit the pou in order to score a try in wairua. Taniwha has to try and stop Kioma by taking there tags that are on there hips. Taniwha also has to pass the ball to the people in Te Roto and they have to throw the ball at the bin to score a point. Have you played Ki o Rahi before? Ki o Rahi ( how to play)

Castle Construction.

This week in Te Ngahere we had to build a castle out of card. We were learning about measurements by building a castle by measuring each piece out of card. First we had to get into a group of three, in my group I had Nevaeh and Jorjah. After we got into our groups we had to learn how to draw a straight line. We had to learn how to draw a straight line so that the castle would be symmetrical and it wouldn't be crooked. After we learnt how to draw a straight line we then had to draw it out on a piece of card. Next we measured and ruled the lines on the card we then had to cut it out. After we cut it out we had to stick the castle together with some tabs that we put onto the castle. Here are some photos to show what the castle looks like.
