Harlow Measurement.

 In Te Maunga we did Measurement. We learnt how to tell the temperature outside and temperature in water. The thing that I enjoyed the most was mixing the water to see different temperature.The most challenging thing was getting your work done at the same time as the whole class.

Harlow’s Astronomy

 In Te Maunga we did Astronomy. I learnt that the sun is a star and it is made of white hot gas and that Matariki is a Maori new year. The thing that I enjoyed the most was to create a poster about the moon or the stars. The most Challenging thing was the Explanation writing about the sun.

Harlow and Ruby’s Research project.

 In Te Maunga we have been doing a Research project, all you need to do is choose a topic to search about. We learnt that Sea lions can swim up to a speed up to 25 miles per hour. My favourite part was making the Google Slides. My challenge was making sure I got it finished on time.

Tsunami day.

On Friday March 5 Paihia School evacuated because of a tsunami and 

we all went up a hill. Then everyone came up the hill and then the teachers finally said it was for real and then I started crying and so did my friends. Then I called my mum and dad and nan to ask if they were ok and they said yes so I started coming down and me and my friends started talking where there was no one else. Then we had a sausage and bread and it was delish. The tiny tsunami came and we finally went down the hill and most people went home after a long day and some of us stayed and got an ice block. Then I got a little piece of paper saying that I have to catch the bus to Aura-Jean's house so me and my sister did the end.

Swimming time

 In Te Maunga we went swimming. We learnt to do sculling. Sculling was my favourite because we had to do it for three minutes. It was a very awesome time.

My cool Pepeha

In Te Maunga we have been learning about our Pepeha. We got to choose if we wanted to do our Maunga or awa I chose to do my Maunga. First we had to sketch our Maunga out on a piece of paper. Then we got a fresh piece of paper and we had to draw it again.We had to color it in 

Harlow's Te Reo art

with a pastel and then we had to use an art pencil to outline the pastel. If we wanted to we could do a Maori pattern on the outside. Then we could do a whakatauki. My favourite part about this artwork was doing the pattern on the sides of the piece of paper. My challenge that I faced was the colouring in because it was hard getting all the white spots because you would always miss the white spots.

 

Harlow and Littas fun Statistics Investigation

 In Te Maung we all did a statis investigation. We learnt how to collect data and lots more. The thing that I enjoyed the most was making a google sheet to show people the information of all the data we collected. The challenge that I faced most was trying to work when other people were asking me questions.
