Unique Science Roadshow

 Hi, lately in Te Ngahere we went to Bay of Islands Collage because there was a science roadshow going on there. We watched two shows, there was one about gases and the other one was about experimenting. We went to the science roadshow because we are going to be doing our own science fair. What I learnt was that gases can actually take up space and that some gases are really deadly. My favorite exhibit was can we pass electricity through our hands because There were different plates of steel like copper and aluminum. 

Have you ever been to the science roadshow?

The Amazing Scientific Method

 Hi, lately in Te Ngahere we have been learning about the scientific method. We are learning about this because we are going to be doing a science fair. We had to make infographics explaining the scientific method. What I did well was making my infographic. What I could do better is understand the method more than I do. I could use this in future because I am thinking of becoming a scientist now that I am learning more of what they do.

Do you know what The scientific method is? 

Magic Mosaic

Kia Ora lately in Te Ngahere we have been making mosaic art of animals or our idol. A mosaic is made up of lots of little shapes that end up looking like an animal or a person. We had to make small shapes using the polyline tool. We are making these to decorate our class and because we are making videos that we are going to put on QR codes. What I think I did well was making my mosaic of a Black Panther. What I can do better next time is to try and  use smaller shapes to make my mosaic look better. I could use this in the future if I become a artist.

Have you made a mosaic before? 

Maori Feelings

 Kia Ora, lately in Te Ngahere we have been learning how to say feelings in Maori because it’s one of our official languages and we need to learn how to pronounce Maori words. We learnt feelings like happy in maori which is harikoa we also learnt sad, hot and cold. I really enjoyed this because I love Te reo Maori and its fun learning new things. What I found hard was making a DLO  and pronouncing the words harikoa, Ka nui te pai and Kaore I te pai. I hope that you like my DLO that I made.

Can you say the some of feelings in Te reo Maori?

Amazing Tech

 Kia Ora lately in Te Ngahere the year 8 and 7s went to tech. I am doing tech with Mr E and we are making a waka using power tools and planks of wood. This week I was cutting out my piece of wood out and filing my piece of wood so that both sides were straight and even. 

What I found hard was filling my piece of wood and making it straight. What I found easy was cutting my piece of wood out. I now need to use sand paper and make the front and back of my waka curved. 

Have you ever made a waka before?
