Into The Unknown Wonder Project

In Te Ngahere this week we have been doing wonder project, if you don’t know what wonder project is it is when a couple scientist come down to your school and talk about their jobs, what they do and they teach you about rockets. We are doing this so that we can lean how to make rockets. We have been making rockets out of plastic bottles and cardboard or an ice cream container. I really enjoy learning about rockets because they are interesting and now I know things about trust, wight and drag, if you don’t know what I mean the thrust pushing the rocket up and the weight is used to drag the rocket down. I didn’t have anything I did not like about it but what I found hard was making the rocket then modifying it. What I think I could do better next time is making the rocket design a bit easier and try and get started early by bringing the equipment faster like bring the bottles and cardboard to school and make the rocket faster. I hope we can do this again. Do you like rockets and find them interesting? Bye!

Interesting Post About Te Reo

In Te Ngahere last week we have been doing Te Reo Maori. We had to make a script first to make sure that our maori words were correct, after that we were allowed to then make a DLO around it to show our learning with a screencastify over it. I enjoyed this because it was fun and easy to do, and there was nothing I didn’t enjoy about it. The thing that I found hard was making sure that the maori words meant the same thing as the english words, so next time I will try harder. I hope we do this again soon. Do you like Te Reo Maori?

Insane Art

Last week in Te Ngahere we made mosaic art on our chromebooks. If you don’t know what mosaic art is. Mosaic art is art you make online or paper. When we were making our art it was allowed to be our favourite animal or the person we look up to. When we were doing this I really enjoyed it because I love art and I like using my chromebook so I really enjoy making art on my chromebook. When we were doing this I found getting the colours right was the hard part for me and making them match with the animal. I hope we are doing this again soon. Have you ever done mosaic art before?

The Outstanding Film

In Te Ngahere this week we have started making our own films. We had to make the films 3 minutes long and we were allowed to add action, comedy, educational, sport, adverts, music, game shows, news and weather, children's t.v, puppetry, drama and documentary. Whatever we chose it had to be appropriate for school. I feel really confident making these filmes because I enjoy taking the time to act the scenes and I get to hang out with my friends. I can’t say there is something I don’t enjoy about it. Have you ever made a film before and did you have fun making it? These are some shots were are going to use.
