Blog post

In Te Ngahere we have been creating self portraits. Whaea becks took chest high photos to get the shape of all our faces. After our photos got printed out we got 3 pastel colours and started creating our self portraits. I enjoyed making my self portrait and learning how to make art look more bolder and exciting. It was really hard to fill in the white spaces but I got there. We had to be really careful that you didn't smudge the pastel. I really liked all the colours because it makes our classroom stand out.

Pet Day

At Paihia School Te Maunga had pet day. We had to design a poster for the A&P show, create a vaseline saucer, collage & batiking. I won an award for coming 1st in creating a wine biscuit creation. I won another award for coming 2nd in creating a vaseline saucer. I enjoyed everything we did for pet day.

Procedure Text

In Te Maunga we have been creating lots of procedures that are based on different topics like writing, Reading and lots more other topics. We learnt how to set out our procedure and it is pretty easy once you make more & more. Once we did our 1st procedure we thought it was hard but it actually was easy. Mrs Pou was teaching us some workshops for our procedures. When Mrs Pou was doing our workshops it makes more sense to us and we got the hang of it. When you have someone to help you it is actually really helpful and it makes the job more easier. I think next time I will have to work on evidencing my procedures. I enjoyed writing our procedures and Mrs Pou helping us so it makes more sense and so it is more interesting. When you know what to do it really is much more easier. I really liked writing our procedures and I also liked that most of us were helping each other.

Maths Goals

In Te Maunga we created a google drawing & put our math goals on it. Once we have achieved our goals we picked some that we haven't achieved from Term 2. Sometimes we go on Xtramath. Xtramath is a site that we do maths on. We have stages on Xtramath & the stages are Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & Division. When we finish Division we are DONE!!!!

The WALT is to choose our own goals.

Maths Problem Solving

This term in Te Maunga we have been doing maths problems solving. Maths problem solving is when your teacher gives you math problems and you have to solve it in your group. We were Learning how to measure wingspan & height. My group and I are learning to work collaboratively together.

Fitness

Paihia School have been doing 10 minute fitness each morning to keep our hearts beating faster. We are doing fitness to be more healthier every morning. Mrs Williams has kindly set up a fitness rotation for Paihia School. I liked Jump Jam the best because the moves were cool and that we all got to try our best. What I found Challenging was Jump Jam when we had to try to keep up with the actions.

Angela's Rocky Shore

In week 2 we made a google drawing about rocky shore with Te Tahuna and Te Moana. We were comparing the Paihia rocky shore and comparing a photo online to see what it is actually supposed to look like. Te Maunga, Te Tahuna and Te Moana we all went down to the Paihia bluff. We had these rocky shore guide books a pen and we were in a group of three. The sea creatures that we found we had to tick off on our rocky shore guide. What I can do better is pick up rubbish, leave shellfish alone and look with your eyes not your hands.
