What I learnt about rockets from my panui

On Monday at Paihia School in Te Ngahere we learnt some panui about rockets. We used T-Shape to learn and tell what variables the people in the book changed, what the design process was and more. What I thought was hard was probably when I had to explain Newton's laws of motion because I just didn't understand and I had trouble trying to explain the relevance of Newton's law of motion. What I thought was easy was probably when I had to tell what variables they changed because in the story they basically just tell you what they changed. What I think I could do better next time is to make sure that I understand so I can get my work done faster. Would you be able to understand Newton’s law of motion if you did our Panui?

The New Type Of Art We Did (Mosaic)

On Friday at Paihia School in Te Ngahere we did a new type of art. We did some Mosaic art. A mosaic is a picture/pattern produced by arranging together small pieces of stone, tiles & more. We could choose to make an animal or a person. I picked to make a person and decided to make Mr Beast, who is a famous youtuber and entertainer. What I thought was hard was probably when I had to do the t-shirt because it took the longest. What I thought was easy was probably when I was finished because all I needed to do now was remove the picture and put it on our art slide. What I think I could do better next time is to make sure that there isn’t any shapes touching each other because when I finished I saw a shape touching another shape which was not supposed to happen. Who/what would you make?

Time For A New Type Of Maths

On Monday at Paihia School in Te Ngahere we did some new maths. We had to figure out more ways to solve 16 x 8. I figured out that 32 x 4 and some other equations that I don’t remember also makes 16 x 8 which equals to 128. What I thought was hard was probably when I had to try and find more ways to solve it because I didn’t know any other equations that also equal 128. What I thought was easy was when I found out an equation because all I needed to do was go 32 across and 4down. What I think I could do better next time is maybe listen to the teacher so I understand and know what to do. Would you be able to find out more ways to solve 16 x 8?

When I Did A Math DLO

Last week at Paihia School in Te Ngahere we did a math DLO. DLO stands for digital learning object. We were learning to use a protractor to use angles. For our math DLO we had to explain how to use a protractor to use angles and measure degrees. What I thought was hard was trying to explain how to do it because I didn’t have any ideas on how to explain it but eventually I explained it because I got some of my friends to help me. What I thought was easy was doing the math equation because I understood what do to unlike the Math DLO.  What I think I could do better next time is maybe try to make sure that my explanation makes more sense. How would you measure degrees?

When I Did A Narrative Writing

On Thursday last week at Paihia School  Te Ngahere did some narrative writing. Our writing topic was a flu pandemic(covid-19). In my story a new virus is born and kills people. The people didn’t know why people were dying until four guys named Donald,
Steve, Zack, Lee figured out why and they went back in time to stop the virus. My focus was to make sure I have several Ideas with some extra information and also choose words that want to make people read my story .What I thought was hard was probably the second paragraph because I didn’t really know what to write for it. What I thought was easy was the last paragraph because I actually knew what to write. What I think I could do better next time is probably add more detail and descriptive words so that the readers are interested.

When I Did A New Type Of Art

On Thursday  week 8 in Te Ngahere at Paihia School we did a new type of art called poupou art. To draw it we had to fold the paper into thirds and fold it in half. After that we drew a heart shape at the top of the paper then we drew a heart inside of the heart so it looks like a mouth. We then drew the nose and the eyes and the head. After that we drew the body, arms, legs and then the patterns. Once we were done with that we went onto a bigger piece of paper and drew it on there. After that we drew over the lines with vivid and then we coloured it. What I thought was hard was probably the patterns because I mostly didn’t know what kind of patterns to put on the body. What I thought was easy was probably folding it because all you need to do is… well fold it. What I think I could do better next time is maybe do some more creative patterns.
