Chrome Music Lab That I Absolutely Love!!!

For the past two weeks in Te Ngahere we have been making music by using this app called Chrome Music Lab. It’s a lot of fun because there is a whole bunch of music you can make like the bass sounds, songs and a lot more. Right now we are making songs and mine is based on the Don’t Forget Your Roots - Māori version by Six60, it is coming together and it sounds great and the first thing we had to do was break the song up into beats and instruments and then re-make the song. The hard part was making the right sounds and the easy part was using the tools to create the sounds. Have you made music before ?

Creative Mahi Toi ( Art )

This week in Te Ngahere we have been doing some mahi toi ( Art ). The type of art we are doing is for  Calendar Art it is a lot of fun. We have to listen to these rules, we can not talk, you blend the colors together, do continuous lines. We have to start on a practice peace and then when we are finished with the practise paper we have to do the real version which has to be as good as you can. Do you like doing Mahi Toi ( Art )?

Mind Blowing Te Reo Māori

This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning how to say the weather in te reo māori. We got these cards and we put them with their pair, as soon as we learnt them we played memory.Most of the time I didn’t win but it was super fun as well, so after we played memory we had to learn how to play fishy fishy in te reo māori. We couldn’t say anything in english the only thing we could say in english was our names but at the end I could say all the words without looking at the script I was impressed with myself. Do you know the māori word for rainbow ? 

Facts About My Maths DLO

 In Te Ngahere we were making a maths DLO. We had to describe what we were learning and what type of maths it was. The type of maths that my group and I  were learning was finding the equivalent fraction. Some parts were hard because they had bigger fractions and you had to times it by three and some parts were easy because you only had to times it by two and the fractions were smaller. Making the DLO was hard because I did not know what to explain. My friends helped me by showing me what they explained and they gave me some ideas. Hope you like my maths DLO. Enjoy!

Our Mind Blowing Creations For Whaea Becks

In Te Ngahere we have been making cards for Whaea Becks, she is one of the teachers that was in my class but she went on holiday for the year. She had a bit of an accident while snowboarding in the South Island and broke her pelvis that is her hip bone, she’s a bit better now and she just got off her crutches. Now we’re making creative things for her because we thought it would be kind. We had an option of making an animation, poster, mosaic art or a slideshow. I made two gifts because I thought it would be a super kind thing to do. I made one mosaic art and one poster, they look really  amazing and I hope she is going to love them! Have you made something for your teacher before?

The Extreme Rocket Launch

In Te Ngahere we have been launching rockets for the past two weeks and the rockets were made out of a 1.5 liter bottles,then we got to decorate them. In my group I have my two friends Ayanda and Yazmin we had to make our rocket two times because the first one was leaking water so it couldn’t launch and that was really disappointing. Then we modified our rocket so we made another one and that one worked so much better then the first one. Then we went outside and launched it and it flew so high and super fast compared to the other one. Have you ever launched a rocket before ?
