Mahi Toi ~ Nā Te Taonga

Kia ora, ko Te Taonga tōku ingoa, e whitu ōku tau.

In mahi toi we have been learning all about Matisse. It was kind of hard because we had to cut out lots of shapes. I learned how to cut out organic shapes, and repeating shapes. 

It was fun making shapes with our buddies. I was buddies with Yazmin and we made good ideas with each other. 

Please give me some arotakenga.

Mihi aroha ki a koutou, Te Taonga :-)

Mahi Toi ~ Nā Tama

Kia ora, ko Tama tōku ingoa.

We were learning about Matisse, the artist in Mahi Toi with Whaea Katrina.

We had to make some shapes. The shapes were negative, organic, positive, geometric, and repeating. 
It was hard cutting out the negative shapes, it took 5 tries. I made my own shapes too like lightening and spikes. 

I hope you give me some feedback down below.

We have been learning about kōiwi. For Pānui we have been hearing and reading facts on videos, and in pānui.

Please give me some arotakenga.

Pāngarau - Ngā Hautau! Fractions!

Tēnā koutou katoa. Welcome to our Blogpost and Rūma 4s fractions. 

We did a wero (challenge) about ngā haurau (fractions). We had to work out what 1/2 was. We had to figure out the meaning of a 1/2 and 1/4. We had to fold pieces of paper, pour some water, and figure out halves of porowhita (circle), block towers, and shapes. We had to fill up half of a box, count fake money, and cut play-dough in half. We had to be problem solvers and critical thinkers while we were doing the wero. 

Here are some photos down below of us doing our wero. Thank you for coming to look at Rūma 4s fractions. Please give us some whakaaro (ideas). Ka Kite.

He Rā Tino Mīharo! Rāapa 4th July

On Rāapa 4th July, we had a super fun day. We had manuhiri visit us from Te Waka Unua kura. We also ate lots of delicious kai, and had a fun afternoon reward for the whole school. 

Here are some things we liked best about the day.

Yesterday my whole entire class we got to meet a school. Their school was called Te Waka Unua. It was a long day for me and my class. I got to have a fun day as well. It was a fun day for my class.

Nā Nevaeh.

Inanahi Te Waka Unua school showed us some cool songs and a haka and so did Hornby Primary! I thought that was cool. We also had a lunch club shout! Haha, it was scrumptious. Nā Mikaere

Inanahi te kurā katōa had rā rekareka. I takaro ahau, māua ko AJ i te beyblades. We had Acid Anubis. Anubis is the best defense type. Nā Marino
