Tricky Tik Toks

In Te Ngahere Anyah and I used two dances from Tik Tok that we choreographed so that they were fun and appropriate for school then we taught them to our class. The name of one of the songs we danced to was called laxed Jam created by Jawsh 685 who is actually from New Zealand. After we taught the class the two dances we presented it to the whole school at our assembly, it was very fun and nerve racking at the same time. I did a good job at teaching the class these dances. I could work on giving more clear instructions. Have you heard about Tik Tok?

Here is a video of our dance

How To Identify Angles

In Te Ngahere we have been learning to identify angles. There are different type of angles called acute, obtuse, straight, reflex and a full rotation. To find an acute angle it is always less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees. To find an obtuse angle it is always greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. I did well at identifying the angles but I need to work on measuring these angles. Have you ever had to identify angles before?

Traditional poupou art

In Te Ngahere we have been learning to draw poupou. Poupou is something that is put up in peoples maraes or houses. Usually poupou represents someone or something. When we started drawing our poupou art we needed a pencil, paper, pastels and a ruler to make it smooth. Before we got to our good copy which was on an A3 piece of paper. When we sketched our Poupou art we had to practise designs on a seperate piece of paper then sketched those onto our Poupou. We also had to outline our drawing in vivid. lastly we had to practise our blending skills then we had to put that on our poupou art. This art is really cool and fun. I did good job at focusing on my art and not social talking. I could work on a bolder body and more patterns. Have you ever tried Poupou art before?
Here is my good copy

How to convert fractions into percentages and decimals

In Te Ngahere we have been learning to turn fractions into decimals and percentages. This was really hard but I got out of the pit. After we learnt how to convert fractions into percentages and decimal we had to teach others so we made a DLO (Digital Learning Object). I did well at the multiplying bits of this activity. I could work on multiplying big numbers like 25x400. Did you like my DLO?

Trick Shot

In Te Ngahere we have been doing trick shots every week. 

This week we had to make a domino effect using everyday materials. Before we started our trickshot and our domino effect we had to plan what it was going to look like. In my group there was Anyah, Dezray and Rymon. Our plan was simple we had a ping pong ball with the ping pong ball someone would throw the ball on a diagonal surface that bounces to another surface into a funnel that leads into a tunnel where the ball rolls through the tunnel hits the blocks that makes a domino effect. Here is a slide show where the video is and what I could work on and what I could do next time.

Fun Art Sunrise Tree

In Te Ngahere we have been doing some art called sunrise tree. They look amazing and they were fun to make. When we did our art we had to blend the pastels to make them more effective. When doing this type of art it can be really messy and it goes everywhere. I did a good job at creating an effective sunset. I could do better by working on the tree. Here is a slideshow on how to make one.
