Trip to the Planetarium

On May 27th, 2021 my class and I went to the planetarium in Whangarei to learn more about the solar system and stars. My favorite part about that trip was when we were in the 2nd room because we got to relax on the chairs and just look up at the stars and learn, and the year 5&6s came with us. 

The solar system

 In class, our focus I think is the solar system our teacher made slides for us to do she did the slides so we can put down what we know about the solar system I think? What I found interesting about the solar system was Saturn has 82 known moons. Today we are going to the planetarium down in Whangarei to learn more about the solar system. This is the slides I did about the solar system

My Matariki poster

 In term 2, my class and I have been learning about Matariki and how it relates back to our weekly memory verse. It was fun learning about Matariki because of all the different facts that I know and other people know in my class know about Matariki. What I found interesting about Matariki was that our class is going to make Ukutangi when Matariki comes because I think that's our new beginning. Cause Matariki is about new beginnings or starts and it signals the Maori new year.

My whakapapa

This Term, my class has been learning about their whakapapa to say it in the pepeha. I kind of knew my whakapapa, I know my whakapapa off by heart but I'm just too shy to say it in front of everyone I don't have the confidence to say it in front of people. But, I will get confident and confident if I keep practicing in front of people.

Swimming!!

 In term 1, my class has been doing swimming every Thursday. We would walk over to Northland college to swim there, but we go there to learn how to swim basically. My favorite stroke is freestyle I'm the fastest in the class at freestyle, but I also like backstroke because you just get to lay on your back and all you have to do is just move your arms. 

Here are my videos and slides about my swimming.

My Art that I did with pen

 In class, we have been doing art with pens we have been looking at Hannah shand because she did art with pens so basically we were just looking at her techniques. We had a few practices which were very hard because my pen would leave a big blob when I didn't clean it, it looked so horrible when the pen would blob. Since we were doing art in our class our teacher decided we can do our art on our pepeha I struggled because I didn't know what to draw about and it was my first time drawing with a pen.  I don't really like my art but it was all that I could do but if it was in pencil I wouldn't be scared. If you want to do art with a pen then look at Hannah shand

This is my self-assessment of my art:

Math poster

 In term 1, my maths focus is solving problems with decimals it was confusing at first but, when I kept learning it and getting it stuck in my head I am very good at it. That's how powerful learners know what they are learning about.
