What Have I Been Up To The Past Few Weeks?

Hi bloggers, I hope you have been having a great term and are enjoying the last few weeks of school. I am really sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I have been so busy the past couple of weeks with lots of assignments and tests. I am going to post lots this week as in our afternoons we have got some fun tasks set, I will leave it a surprise for now, keep an eye out. 

This term has been filled with lots of fun and challenging things. Here is a sum up of what I have been up to this term. In maths I have been doing lots of exciting activities, here is some of my recent work. For the first task I had to explain how I worked out this problem and what the answer is. For the second task I had to create part of my school on minecraft, I wanted it to be spot on so I counted how many carpet squares there is across and straight forward. 

 

 This term for literacy, my favorite subject. We have been creating short films. I loved the whole process from filming to editing to writing my script, every part has been a journey but very exciting too. I created my short film on imovie as this is a great tool to use for film creating and I am familiar with it as I also used it for my video essay. I created a horror as this is my all time favourite genre. Alongside with creating my film I also had to make sure my script was perfect to hand in as well as a film poster to advertise my short film.

This term for inquiry has been so busy yet extremely fun. We first started of with learning all about different places in NZ and getting to research one and make a brochure to advertise it. Now we have just finished going into groups and getting a country that we have to research and create a whole space filled with information and decorations. This afternoon we start by as I have said previously some very fun and creative tasks. 

  

Have a good week bloggers! I look forward to posting some fun tasks in the next few days! Happy blogging!

The Crazy Change In Hangi!

Hello bloggers, This week we have been looking a lot into hangi and how it has changed. What are the improvements and what are the similarities. As you can see I have taken lots of time to colour and draw it all out to look nice. I am very happy with how it turned out and how I set it out. What hangi do you think is best without reading my poster? As you can see I did a candy cane look for the big titles. I have used lots of colours and spread them out throughout my poster. Have you used a modern hangi before? Have you had some hangi out of the underground ones before? Have a great rest of your day! Happy blogging!

Take A Look At This Great Game Called Ki O Rahi!

Hello bloggers, Ki O Rahi is a maori game that is super interesting and fun to play. Some of the rules are hard to understand so I have created some instructions for you so that you can play this game with your friends too, there is all the information that you need right on this poster. This was fun to create and a little hard as I had to watch a video and then record everything onto my poster. I also have a slide of how Ki O Rahi became a game and the story of Ki O Rahi. Have you played Ki O Rahi before? If so what colour was your team? Happy blogging! 

Check Out This Great NZ Culture Work!

Welcome bloggers, New Zealand's culture, traditions and our heritage is super important to New Zealand. For our term 4 inquiry we have been looking at NZ's culture, traditions and our heritage. We have already looked over so much including a poster all about things unique to NZ. Today we backed pavlova and yesterday we made a slide including the korowai, the haka and the moko. I am looking forward to everything else that we have planned for our inquiry. Have you backed a pavlova before? Happy blogging!
