Maui's Magic Jawbone.

 Today in class for reading we were learning about Maui. After we watched this video. These were our choices of activities. Create the kereru from the story using LEGO, a digital construction or sketch OR Create a magic jawbone using LEGO, a digital construction or sketch OR Sketch some koru patterns from the story OR Retell the story - act it out, Stop Motion or write it. I chose to construct the magic jawbone using minecraft. Building the jaw bone on Minecraft was easy. I had no challenges in this activity.

Robots

My class was learning about robots and how they have improved over the years.Our task was to find a problem.Then think of a robot that can fix the problem.We were learning how to summarise across multiple texts in this book, we were supposed to read this with our teacher but because of lockdown we had to read it without the teacher. I really enjoyed this activity and I had no problems in the making of this.

What problem would you want to be fixed by a robot.

This is a video that helped me.

Bees

 This week my class had a science experiment about how bees pollinate flowers. The equipment we had was a tuning fork, a cut ballon, plastic cup, flour ( pollen), paint brush, black laminated paper. Before we did our experiment we had to read the instruction. We used the balloon to cover the top of the cup, then brushed the flour (pollen) onto the balloon after that we hit the tuning fork on a desk or on a chair. Then we gently tip the cup sideways, so I could touch the cup with the tuning fork so we can see the difference. 

After our Science experiment we were to read and find fact about bees. My group called ruby rhinos read the "The Language of Bees and Other Insects" book by Megan Kopp on epic, with our teacher. Our group  had to find key information from the book, then find 20 keywords. When we had 20 key words we narrowed it down to 6 words, after we had our 6 words we had to form up sentences with 6 words.

   

Samoa Tatau

 During the Samoan language week, my reading group named Ruby Rhinos were learning about the Samoan tatau. Tatau is the Samoan word for tattoo. Both of my parent have the tatau they both of got their tattoos made the traditional way. There are two ways of making the Samoan tattoo. There's the traditional one, and the other that uses a modern tattoo machine. The traditional way of making the tattoo involves a shark tooth! ( I learnt this from the book named Man at sea. ) I enjoyed this activity a lot. Would you want a Samoan tattoo and if you do would you get it done in the traditional way using a shark's tooth?

WW1 postcard

To day in class we had to write a journal or a postcard from world war 1 and we got to make up a fictional character. I enjoyed making this post card. I had no difficulties in the making of this post card. I choose light milkisk green for the background because it my favourite colour. The reason why I choose fancy font is because I think that back in the olden days they always wrote in cursive.
