Legend of the Seven sisters

Javeylor and I had completed our task for Matariki. Well Did you know that the seven stars are actually sisters. But not all seven are sisters. In this DLO we had included a reference. This task is part of our inquiry and we had lots of fun making this DLO. 

How do Native American people celebrate winter solstice?

Today we have been learning new things about Matariki. Javeylor and I chose to start with this first because we wanted to know what other countries do to celebrate winter solstice. We chose to find out about the Native Americans because we wanted to know what they do. Native American people make prayer sticks four days before the winter solstice. Javeylor and I worked really hard.

Dance

Today Javeylor and I had our last practice for dance. In our video Javeylor and I did great but we needed to work on a few things. We needed to be more confident because we kept on laughing. We also needed to sharpen up our moves. Javeylor and I still had fun.

Dance

Today at dance Mishaan and I were working on our mirror dance. Mishaan and I needed to work on sharpening our moves. But we were actually good today. Then we had to record Shakaia, Brooklyn, and Savelina. When we were recording them they also needed to sharpen their moves as well. Our moves start of slow and then fast. I really had fun today.

Black out day

Today Panmure Bridge School had so much fun. Everyone wore black to support the All Blacks and only a few people wore Red to support the lions. First the whole school had to go to the hall for assembly. During assembly the kapahaka boys performed the All Blacks haka. Then we all went to the field and stood on the letters to make ALL BLACKS. After that we all stood around the court to pass around the ball. Everyone had fun doing all these activities. Thank you Mr O for organizing this.

Maths problem

Today Nazella and I created a maths problem. This shows how Ella and Sarah used up their money but Nazella and I didn't put down the answers. This is for you to work out. 

Poetry

This week we have been looking at poems. I learned more about metaphors and similes. A simile and a metaphor is a bit similar to each other but a simile uses the words 'as' or 'like' to compare things. A metaphor is comparing to things without the words 'as or 'like. 

Dance

Today in dance we worked on our geometrical dance. We got reminded that we had to be in sync with the music meaning in time and the different types of music that will suit our dance. We had to think about the tempo which is the speed and the beat of the music. It was quite tricky for our group but we managed to get some moves that we made up into a creative way. We compared and contrasting with two different genres such as ballet music and rock music.
