😇💕Maramataka-Traditional lunar calendar 💕😇

 😁We are learning to use the ancient traditional lunar calendar.😁

We learned that Maori stopped using the lunar calendar and instead started to use the Gregorian sun calendar when Europeans came to NZ. Maori translated the days of the week to their own language and used the sounds of the days to name them. Example: Monday = Mone. 

In 1990 the days of the week were changed once more to symbolise what the days meant. Example: Monday means moonday - Rahina means sun - moon.

🌙This is my picture of the moon phases 🌙

This is my mind map of the video I was watching about maramataka. I was really interested and I had lots of key ideas about maramataka. Thought flow:'I thought it was really interesting how Tuesday is associated with the roman god of war and mars.

Memoir

WALT: Write a memoir inspired by James K. Baxter's "The Town"

The beach was usual enough; it had
Soft sand, a beautiful ocean, stinging jellyfish, and clusters of succulent seafood   
in it, it even had heaps of giant sand dunes
 I love to climb. My brothers, my sisters, my cousins and I
Did what kids do - splashed in the cold
Water, built sandcastles, dug holes, dodged the ginormous
waves, dived like dolphins in the
Big blue puddle with a great sense of humour,
Splashed my family and cousins, played and played
Having heaps of fun.
Doing nothing important.

ManaiaKalani film festival

Today I went to the ManaiaKalani film festival. We watched all the films that the other schools created. All the schools thought hard on what they created and made it to the cinemas to watch all their cool films they created. I thought Te Manga's film was the best because of the sound affects the great actors and the script. I think that was a quality film. We worked hard as well we had a good show but I wouldn't say it is better than Te Manga's. We worked hard and and managed to make the film. Happily we made it to the cinemas where our movie was played on big screen. When we went inside we walked on the red carpet. That was my first time I loved it. I then zoomed inside and sat down in my seat and was ready to watch the films.They were mind-blowing. The cool thing was that in the end we even got to have an ice-cream or a frozen coke because we did so well.

Duffy show

Their I was waiting for the show to start. The excitement rushed through my body as fast as lightning. My heart boomed loudly as if a bombs were going off. A magnetic pulse ran down my spine. Thundering clouds floated in my head. Butterflies fluttered through my stomach. The air was humid as all the pupils puffed with excitement. Then 3 magnificent actors revealed themselves on the stage. My eyes widened and focused on the show. It was very fascinating. My favourite part was when Duffy made us laugh. He really knew how to make kids laugh. Neve was the puzzler and the dismantler. Her laughs totally freaked me out. Sam was fine but she was way too addicted to gaming. This was a marvellous show but I wouldn’t say it would be my favourite Duffy show,but it sure was great.

Quiz

WALT: Make quizzes on a google slide.

This was very fun. I liked decorating the slides and making it look fancy. The main thing we had to do was link the slide's to the correct slide's. It's so hard at first until I started doing it and it became much more easier

Fractions-Mixed numbers-Improper Fractions

We are learning how to convert improper fractions to mixed numbers but to also do the opposite.

Once I got the hang of converting them it made it so more easier. I whizzed through this with ease. Mrs Davan my teacher taught me and my class some easy strategies. That was the main thing that helped me.

Screencastify explaining how to use Algorithms

We are learning to make a sreencastify showing how to use algorithms

This is my screencastify explaining how to use algorithms. I have learned how to use algorithms and now I am showing other people how to. It is simple but complicated so watch this video to learn more about algorithms.
