6th August 2020

Today, we learned animation using Google Slides; we inserted a static background, then used a .png image (that has no background), and moved it around the screen to make our first animation!

Matariki

We celebrated Matariki - Maori new year, by constructing a concertina book which showcased Te Iwa o Matariki (The nine stars of Matariki), followed by a full day celebrating Ururangi - the star connected with the 'winds of the sky' by weaving incredible fishing kites and Manu Wahine. Thank you Matua Hako for your help!

NZ Garden Bird Survey

Our class participated in this year's NZ Garden Bird survey, an annual public survey that informs Landcare Research about health of our environment. They survey is the country's longest running citizen science project.  We spent time learning about the birds we were looking out for, we made bird masks, then we took our survey out and about around the school to record our findings on the tally sheet. Finally, we uploaded our finding to the online bird register.

Sweet sounds of Nga Papahu

We've been learning about rhythm and following a simple percussion score. We were playing along to Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep', and Queen's 'We will Rock You' with our Bucket Percussion orchestra! Also, we are learning to play the ukulele, and can play chords; C, Am, G, F, and D. It's amazing how many songs you can play with just 5 chords. Lastly, we have enjoyed singing in the music room - this is 'Taipa Area Primary's Got Talent!'

Cybersmart

We've been spending a lot of time in the food technology room recently, concocting some delicious treats: Sweetcorn Fritters, Pizza , and Apple Crumble

... and in class, we read The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch, then made club sandwiches - Yum!
