Sharing My Knowledge In Te Reo Maori

 For the past few weeks in Te Ngahere we have been working on a weather report in Te Reo Maori. I did a blog post about learning the weather in Te Reo a few weeks ago. Now Boston and I have finally moved on to our DLO, we had a choice to make our DLO into a powtoon, animation or green screen Boston and  I chose to do a slide show. It didn’t matter what we had chosen, but it had to have a map of New Zealand  with all of the locations written in Te Reo Maori. Once we had finally finished we had to do a screencastify over the slide we  made. Have you ever done a weather forecast in te reo maori?

Here it is!

The Best Artwork Ever!

This week Te Ngahere have doing art.  we have been practising to draw continuous lines and blend with coloured pencils. First we got a template that you could just see through the paper and then we had to draw with our shoulder for the out line. Drawing with your shoulder is like doing big long lines because if you draw with your wrist you can only do small and not as tidy lines. When we were really confident in ourselves we could start practising  blending with colored pencils. One of the things we can’t do is talk because our teachers say we need to really concentrate. I found the art quite fun and I can’t wait until we start our good copy. Do you use your shoulder to draw?

The Most Excellent Cricket Practice

In Te Ngahere we played Speed Cricket . We learnt how to hold the bat, how we have to stand and we had to  face our shoulders the direction the way we   wanted to hit the ball. We  started by finding a buddy to hit the balls to. We had three balls to  hit off the batting cone. Once we finished hitting all three balls, we had to swap over. Once we started getting better, we got to play Speed Cricket. We had to halve the groups and play. We  had three bats to play with. We had to stand in a line and take turns batting the ball. If a group in the opposite side catchers the ball one bat is out, if the baller hit the wickets or if the bat hits the wickets two mor bats are out and if you throw the bat to the next person in line your hole team is out out 

Have You Ever Played First Cricket Before?

 

The Brilliant Beach Day

 

The beginning of the holidays we went to the beach with my cousins. When we got to the beach my cousins jumped straight into the water and I stayed on shore. After five or ten minutes my cousin forced me to jump in with them. So I went to go put my feet in the water and it was warm. But one of my cousins pushed me in so I went for a swim. We stayed in there for 20 to 30 minutes and then went home.

Did you go to the beach in the holidays?

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.

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?
