T - Shaped Literacy

In Te Maunga we have been learning about dinosaurs and we had made a dinorama.  I have been researching the Giganotosaurus and it can run 50 km/h.  The reason the dinosaurs died out was because an asteroid hit a place called Gondwanaland, which was where the dinosaurs lived. 

Water Cycle Art

Last week Te Maunga started a picture of the water cycle. I learnt how to fill in gaps by doing the picture, how to use coloring pencils in different ways, and how to use a pencil lightly. The water cycle is the cycle of how the rain is made, using the sun, water, and muanga.

In Te Maunga we have been learning about viruses. I learnt that a fungi called yeast can help make bread and ginger beer. 

Collage - Mikaira

In Te Maunga we have been doing collage art about mountains. I learnt collage is when you make a picture with magazine parts, and you cut them into small pieces. We did a collage of maunga because we read a book called Battle of The Mountains.

My Kindness Letter

In Te Maunga we have been making a kindness letter. I wrote about my family, what I did in lockdown, what I learned and a few words of encouragement.

washing hands

In Te Maunga we have been learning about how to wash our hands and about the Coronavirus. It is important to know because you can get sick if you don’t wash your hands. We put milk into a bowl then we put pepper  in the milk and our teacher put soap on his finger and put his finger in the milk then the pepper swooshed away.

 

kowhaiwhai

In Te maunga we have been learning about how to make kowhaiwhai.

One of the kowhaiwhai patterns is about strength. My piece of art  shows my family that lives in my house like mum, dad, my 4 brothers, and me.
