Info-graphic

In Te Ngahere we have been making Infographics.
We had to make a Infographic about the science method.
All we had to do was put pictures (icons, etc) in that relates to what questions we were
asking. The reason we did this is to make it easier to see and understand.
I think it was cool to make a infographic about the science method because we are going
to use it for our experiments. Also there are only 6 steps that make this method easy
and simple. Here are the 6 steps.

1. Ask a question
2. Gather information and observe (research)
3. Make a hypothesis (guess the answer)
4. Experiment and test your hypothesis
5. Analyze your test results
6. Present a conclusion

Animation Screencastify

Animation

In Te Ngahere we have been making animations. We also made a script that fits in with the animation. We had the choice to work in twos or by yourself. My buddy was Isaiah  Stillwell. Our animations had to be about something we've been focusing on in reading. Our animation was about when the Maori and British first started trading. I think we did well with using humor with the Maori because we didn't know how they would have talked back then. I think we also did well with the layout of our presentation. I think we found finding characters difficult. Our next steps are to screencastify. I would like to know what was the most valued source of resources to the Maori from the British. I will post when finished.

Attending the Kawakawa Festival

On Friday the Kapa Haka Roopu attended the Kawakawa Festival. We had two weeks to put together 5 items to perform on the day. We had fun and represented our school proudly. Our Kapa Haka tutors Whaea Ronni, Whaea Lesha, and Matua Pep took us every day to practice. We practiced at morning tea lunch and afternoons. Next time I hope we have a full bracket.

Kawakawa Festival

The Paihia School Kapa Haka Roopu have been working towards going to the Kawakawa
Cultural Festival. We go with our Kapa Haka tutors everyday in morning tea, lunch, and
each afternoon. We are looking forward to seeing others performances as well as
ourselves. Personally I think we have been working hard and I need to work on my
disciple. Until Friday that's it about the Cultural Festival.

Writing

In Te Ngahere we have been writing a diary entry. I wrote about Hone Heke.
I think I did well with staying on task and making each paragraph have support from the
other paragraphs so they all collaborated to make sense. I also think I did well with the
development of my piece of writing. Next time I could use a little bit more interesting
words in my writing, other than that I was happy.  

Tai-Tokerau Festival

Seven students from the Kapa Haka Roopu had the opportunity to go and watch the
Te Tai-Tokerau Festival. We went to experience the types of things our Ropu needed to
improve on. I enjoyed every performance and now our Kapa Haka Roopu is working
on a bracket for our Kapa Haka Roopu. My favorite was when Matua Pep, Izaiah,
Harlem, and myself joined a haka to tautoko one of the Roopu.
