My camp movie

Kia Ora, 
On the 27th of October Ruru went to camp at living spring and we got back on October 30th.
In the time we were at camp the teachers and helpers took almost 3000 photos and we had to make a movie with those photos. The movie took me around 1 week and a half and lots of effort. We did this on Wevideo an new platform for creating content and DLO'S. if you could give me feed back that would be awesome.

 This took me sooooo long so please look.

Using shapes to make things

Kia Ora,
This week we have been doing geometry.
In geometry we made things with shapes on a google drawing and then we made it in real life. 
I tried to make a lama eating apples from a tree and my friend made a bus train thing. It was really fun and challenging to make. There was also a twist, we had to use all of the shapes that Mrs lee said we had to use.  The shapes were hexagon, oval, circle, star etc. Anyways enjoy :)

Reading

Hey bloggers,

in this blog post im going to show you my week 8 reading!
Im sorry i didn't get much done i was not here for 1 day of the week.
by Blake 
Enjoy

Video #1:

This text tourt us a little bit about Matariki, it has a lot of facts in it so here are some I learnt. Matariki is a family of stars that symbolize the maori new year. Ranginui and papatuanuku are the parents. 


Video #2:

The facts on this video are very straight-forward and easy to explain. Here are my favourite facts. In the maori New Year there are seven sisters named Matariki. The name of the Maori New year. You can see the stars for MOST of the year. But they disappear from Aotearoa’s (New zealand) sky in late april. They reappear in late May or early june.

Te Papa Website: 

This was different to everything so far. This time we read a website and not a video, A website has more facts on it! with lots of facts. There are a lot so here are some! Not everyone celebrates it at the same time, some people celebrate on the first moon it is there but others celebrate on the second. Matariki is a starcluster not a constellation, A cluster is a group of stars that are near each other in space. When seen from Earth, the stars in a constellation appear to be close together in a pattern.


Celebrating Puanga at Ramanui:

Like the last one this was a website but not a normal website, it was a book! Here is another list of facts (the last one). Near a mountain maunga of Taranaki, a small school is celebrating a very special event. Every year, Ramanui School in Hawera honours the arrival of the star Puanga. When Puanga appears in the eastern sky just before dawn, it marks the start of the Mฤori New Year in Taranaki. In many parts of  Aotearoa people celebrate whenever Matariki appears. 




Maori glossary

in this task we had to solve a word search and make a glossary of all the words


Matariki - (personal noun) a cluster of stars in New Zealand

Whetลซ - (noun)  star.

korero - (verb)  it means to speak.

kai - (verb) to consume or EAT something.

whenua - (noun) land.

whanau - (noun) extended family

Horrible Tsunamis (Sad)

Hey bloggers in today's post i'm going to show you my tsunami work! It was about the 2009 tsunami in Samoa and Tonga. I did not FINISH my third task so i only did 2 tasks. I am very sorry It was a very devastating event and i hope it does not happen again. Hope that you enjoy!


Create Task 1


The story was about A girl and getting ready to go to school. It was based on a real story 2009 in Samoa and Tonga. It all started at around 6:45 in the morning and a big earthquake stuck! It was really big with a magnitude of 8.1! It created a tsunami and destroyed the lives of 189 people. It destroyed many villages and houses but it is all rebuilt.


Complementary task


Tsunamis are caused by sudden movements on the ocean floor due to earthquakes, landslides, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions or a meteorite crash on the ocean floor.  


Challenge text 


This book was about how tornadoes and what happens when one happens. Tornadoes form by different swirling air currents coming together. You can also make tornadoes with two water bottles, one upside down on top of another one that's the right side up!


Task 2!

Taniwha Trouble!!

Task 1:

Hey bloggers Today i'm going to show you this weeks work. I didn't do much because I wasn't here for  almost the whole week! i'm sorry for the lack of work.I only started on Thursday. The book was called Taniwha Trouble. It was about a Taniwha in the Vent system. anyways here is the full story!

Story  

In room 13 Noah called Out there's a Taniwha in the heater!!! He was told by the teacher to go and get Mr Blackadder. Mr Blackadder went down to the boiler room and fixed it. In the end Mr Blackadder found a Taniwha in the heater and he released it into the river.

Complimentary text:

in Complimentary text and Challenging task we had to write 3 sentences about the text or video!

There were two Taniwhas named Whataitai Ngake. They lived in The Wellington harbor. They wanted to leave the lake and go into the ocean. 

Challenging text:  Ngake are two taniphas that live on the north and south of wellington harbor. Whataitai lived on the north and Ngake lived on the south. Ngake was very energetic and furious.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Task 2:

Task 2 Rewrite the last paragraph of the story: The caretaker Mr Blackadder went down to the boiler room and figured out the problem, well that's what the class thought. What really happened is He went down into the boiler room and he unleashed the beast into the wild! It flew straight to the class and broke through the doors. It destroyed the whole school! Eventually they called the police and the beast was sent to the river to float away in peace. The end!

I changed it because the story was not really dramatic and I like dramatic books, movies, ect!

This was my favorite create task!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Task 3:

In task 3 we had to pretend we were a police interviewing someone and you have to come up with 5 questions to ask someone in your story!

5 questions!

For the teacher!

1: where was The Taniwha?

2: what was the Taniwha doing there?

3: how did it get in?

4: where did you put the Taniwha?

5: what river did you put it in(assuming they said in a river last time)?
