In Te Ngahere we have been making calendar art. We have to blend the colors together to make it look nice, and after we finished coloring we had to draw over it with a marker pen. Before we started on our real copy we had to practice on a practise paper. The only thing I found hard about it was that I could barely see the lines that we had to draw over.
Have you done calendar art?
In Te Ngahere we have been practising for cross country. We are going to be racing other kids that are the same age. This year I don’t care what place I come, I just want to participate. For cross country every year there is sausages, juicies, nachos and baking from the adults, the food is very delicious. The older you are, the harder the courses are, the only thing that I find hard about the 11 year old’s course is that we have to run up a big hill and then run back down.
Have you done cross country before?
In Te Ngahere we have been making music, We started making music this week on Thursday. It is a very fun site to make music on here is a link to music lab. The teacher wanted us to start making rhythms first so we could get the hang of it before we make a song. Out of all the instruments I liked the little monster with red sticks and the other monster with red and yellow drums. I learned how to make a rhythm. To make a rhythm you have to click the dots and push the play button then it will come up with the music that you've made like my one.
Have you been on this site before?
In Te Ngahere we have been learning to pronounce maori words and sentences. The teacher would give half the class a set of cards with maori words and pictures of weather on it but the other half of the class went to PE. Before we got cards from the teacher we got into groups of three or two then when we got the cards off the teacher we played ika ika that means fishy fishy. The only thing I found hard about it was to pronounce the words. When the other half of the class finished doing PE we went out.
Have you learnt more than ten maori words?
