Geometry

In Te Maunga we have been learning about geometry. I learnt that there are a lot of differences between 2D shapes and 3D shapes because 2D only has faces and corners and 3D has vertices, faces and edges. We made 3D shapes out of little colored sticks and blue tack.

Music and Soundscape

In Te Maunga we have been learning about  musical instruments.I learnt that the foa foa is a shell. In groups of 3 we made soundscapes out of everyday objects. My group used a bucket of water to make the sound of a waterfall. We also used a cup of water and straws to make the sound of a volcano bubbling with lava and we used big rocks to make the sound of an asteroid hitting the volcano.

Dinosaurs

In Te Maunga we have been making dioramas. I learnt that the Titanoboa could swallow a full grown person and cow. They mostly ate crocodiles and big fish.  The reason the dinosaurs died out was because of a huge asteroid that hit earth hundreds of years ago.
