The Coolest App Ever!

This week we have been making music. For this, we have been using an app called Chrome Music Lab. With this app you can create rhythms, moods, songs and more. Our goal was to learn about rhythm, then we created a tune that showed a mood. When we finished making a mood and rhythm we could make a song. What I found hard was timing, it was really hard to get the beats right on time.This app is really fun to use and learn about other ways of making music. Have you heard or seen the Chrome Music Lab app?

The Best Rippa Rugby Game

In Te Ngahere for the past week we  have been playing a game called Rippa Rugby. We first started by putting on our rippa tags and then we got separated into four groups the team colors was Blue,Green,Yellow and Orange. My group color was Blue. After we put our rippa tags on our teacher picked two groups to verse. If the other team ripped your  tag two times it is a hand over. If your team scores three times you win. The first groups was my group and the orange group. My group won three zero. Then the last groups hopped on and verse the yellow team and won two one.

Have you ever played Rippa Rugby

 

Sharing My Knowledge On Te Reo Maori

My Writing:  Sharing My Knowledge On Te Reo Maori

in Te Ngahere for the past 2 weeks we have been doing Te Reo Maori. For Te Reo

Maori we have been learning how to pronounce  the Maori words for the Weather.

We first started by copying the teacher.  The names for the weathers are Hau for

Wind, Ra for Sun, Huripari for Tornado, Aniwaniwa for Rainbow, Hukarere for

Snow, Kapua for Cloud, Uira for Lightning, Ua for Rain, Pata Ua for Sun Shower,

Awha for Storm and Ua whatu for hail. After we learnt how to pronounce  them we

got to play Ika (Fish) and maumaharatanga (memory) I enjoyed learning the

kupu (Words). It was hard for me to pronounce the long kupu. 

Does your class do Te Reo?

My New and Improved Math DLO about Equivalent Fractions

This week in my maths group we have been making maths DLOs, I did my maths DLO with Archie and Ngatoki. We had done separate screencastifys but we said the same thing. We were learning to do equivalent fractions, equivalent fractions are when there’s a fraction and you can change the numbers but it would equal the same fraction. You would change the numbers by multiplying and dividing the numerator and the denomentator by the same number. We solve equivalent fractions by figuring out what number we have to divide or multiply the numerator and denominator by. We were doing the maths DLOs to show our learning on equivalent fractions. The easy part was multiplying and dividing the numbers and the hard bit was to know what to multiply or divide it by. 

Do you know how to do equivalent fractions?
