In Te Maunga we have been learning about Matariki. I learnt that Matariki is a cluster not a consolation and there are only 500 stars but six or seven can be seen with the naked eye or a telescope. One thing I liked doing was the rock painting because I got to make a special rock with my nans names on the rock. I learnt about plaiting the string for the poi.
In Te Maunga we have been learning about measurements, temperature, time and volume. I learnt how to measure different items with a book. My favourite activity was volume. I want to learn more about volume.
In Te Maunga we did team building. We learned how to work as a team. For team building we get into a group, then we get an activity to do and then we would have to work together to finish the activity first or the fastest. The one thing I liked doing was the hula hoop game. I learnt if you work together and do the activity fast then you will win a prize.
In Te Maunga We did our sea Creatures Reading. We learned about all kinds of different sea creatures. First we had to do our four slides then we had to do report writing. After our report writing we had to do a fact file. My favorite part was doing my fact file. I want to learn more about sea animals.
In Te Maunga we did our Hauora reading. We learned to use subheadings, write quotes and to use information to answer questions. For our Hauora we first had to do our slides then we had to do our poster and a Scratch animation and then an explanation. The one thing I like learning was doing my explanation. I want to eat healthier.
In Te Maunga we did a research project. We learned about how to research different things like animals. First we had to pair up with a buddy once we did that we had to decide on what thing we were going to search about. When we were finished we marked it on the hand in sheet. The one thing I learned about was that eagle rays can leap their entire bodies out of the water while swimming close to the surface.
In Te Maunga we did Statistics.We learnt how to collect data and make a tally Chart. First we had to buddy up with a classmate then we had to write down how we were going to collect the data. After we got the data we went to make a tally chart. My favourite part was collecting the data from the people in our classroom. I would go a bit faster next time we do this.
