On Monday Te Maunga and the rest of Paihia School watched Nanogirl in our whare. We learnt that you can light your hand on fire (if you are a professional). One thing I liked was watching Nanogirl and doing science week. From this you can learn multiple things by doing experiments.
In Te Maunga we did Matariki. We learnt that Matariki is made up of several hundred stars. One thing I liked doing was the Matariki art on Friday. From this you can learn about Matariki (the Maori New year).
In Te Maunga we have been learning about hauora. We learnt what muscles you use to move your arm up and down. One thing I liked learning about was what you need to grow plants and what plants need to grow. To improve my work I will do less talking and more working.
In Te Maunga we had an Auction. We learnt how an auction worked. My favourite part about it was that we got a treat and that we didn’t have to do work.
In Te Maunga we have been doing art about our pepeha. We drew our maunga and our awa then we coloured in with a pastel. My favorite part about it was that we were telling other people about yourself. You can learn something about other people.
In Te Maunga we learnt about measurement. We learnt how to measure with a ruler and weigh things with grams and kilograms. My favourite activity was Hearty Applause because we learnt how much blood our heart pumps a minute.
In Te Maunga we have been playing cricket. I learnt about standing the correct way, your feet have to be spread out shoulder width and also holding the bat in the middle. We played a game called speed cricket. The instructions are to hit the ball without hitting the wicket then you run to a pink pad and tap it with the tip of the bat and then you sprint back to the line and pass the bat to the next person.
