In Te Ngahere we have been learning about the Kawa Of Care. We had to read a text link, (text link) and choose one rule. I have made a DLO to teach you to always keep your chromebook in its case when you are outside.
We had to choose if we wanted to make a DLO on slides, comics or Google drawings. It was hard finding the characters for my comic but it was easy to make.
Have you ever learnt about the Kawa Of Care?
In Te Ngahere for the past week we have been finding facts about Roy Lichtenstein. We had to find the key facts about how Roy lichtenstein did his art. We found important facts about Roy Lichtenstein to help us with our self portraits.
I learnt that Roy Lichtenstein chooses colours carefully, to imitate the four colours of printers’ inks. He used Ben Day dots, Ben Day Dots is a system invented to increase the range of colours available to newspaper printing. This is where we got the information from Link 1 Link 2.
Have you ever done a self portrait before?
Last Wednesday Kacey came into our school and taught us how to play
T-Ball. We started by separating into equal teams. One group got to bat and the other got to field. The batting team had to hit it off the T and run to base one. But, if the fielder held the ball on the base you were running to, you were out. If you made it you had to run to base two once the ball was hit by the next batter. You had to keep running to each base but if you ran all the way to home base without getting out you scored a homerun. The team with the most home runs win. If the fielders get three bats out your team swaps with the fielders.
Have you ever played T Ball before?
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!
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?
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
