Interesting Spiral Maori Art

 In Te Ngahere at Paihia School we have been doing some mahi toi. We were learning to draw continuous lines, draw curves and blend colours. To begin our art we started practicing drawing it on paper that already had the art on it so we just traced over it and most of us are still practicing. We also had to blend colors. What I thought was hard was probably when I had to blend the colors because I didn’t really know how to blend. What I thought was easy was when I had to trace it because all I needed to do was draw over the lines. What colours would you use?

The Sound Of Music

 On Thursday this week at Paihia School in Te Ngahere we have been doing some music on Google Music Lab. Google Music Lab is a website that makes learning music easier and fun. We’ve done three lessons. The rhythm lesson, the melody lesson and the Kandinsky lesson. What I thought was hard was probably when I had to come up with a beat because I didn’t know how to make music. What I think I could do better next time is maybe try to actually make music instead of mucking around with it. What type of music would you make?

The Explanation Of Newton’s Law

 Last week we have been learning to write about bottle rockets but before we started writing we made a plan. In our plan we decided what the name of the title is going to be, what the paragraphs are going to be about and some more stuff. Then we started to write. What I thought was hard was probably when I had to decide what to write for paragraph 2 because I didn’t know what to write but then I eventually figured it out. What I thought was easy was maybe when I had to come up with a title because all I needed to do was come up with the title and write it. Do you understand Newton’s law of motion?

The Wonder Launch

 In Te Ngahere we have been continuing the Wonder Project. During that time my group has been modifying our rocket and launching it. Our first launch wasn’t that successful then we modified it by making the fins stronger and changing the fin design. Our second launch wasn’t that successful either. What I thought was easy was probably when I had to do someone else's job when they were away because I didn’t really know what to do. What I think I could do better next time is try to contribute more. What fin design would you have used if you did this?

The Importance Of Kawa Of Care

 For a few weeks at Paihia School in Te Ngahere we have been learning about the rules of Kawa of Care. The Kawa of Care is some rules that you have to follow to ensure the care and responsibility of Chromebooks. The rules are to not have food or drinks around your chromebook because it could cause some damage to it and a couple of more rules. We also had to create something like a poster or animation to show the importance of Kawa of Care. What I thought was hard was probably when I had to create something because I didn’t really know what to do for a poster but eventually I found out a way. What I thought was easy was maybe when I decided to make an animation instead because an animation is more easy but it would of took long to finish it which is why I decided to do a poster. Would you do a poster or animation if you did this?
