Animation for Maori language week

 Hey Bloggers, this week for Maori language week we had to make an animation about animals and then write the Maori name above the animal so you know what the animal's name is in Maori and in English. This is me and Holly's animation we did it in the jungle because we think there is a lot of animals in the jungle that we could do it about. We had to do 12 or more animals or objects we did 12. The animals in our animation are a lion, a monkey, a snake, a frog, a caterpillar, a Charmeleon, a bird, some flowers, a snail, a hedgehog, and a tiger. This is our animation. 

Have you ever made an animation? 

Raven poem

 Hey Bloggers,

For our literacy task this week we are reading a poem about a raven so our task was to make an animation about what happens in the poem. The poem is made by a guy called Edgar Allan Poe. This is my animation about the raven poem. Hold the arrow button down. 

Bedmas

 Hey Bloggers,

Today for maths we had to make an animation on how to do bedmas. I made a video of my dog telling you how to do it. This is my video. It was really fun using my dog and trying to make her talk. 

Litracy

 Hello, Bloggers for the past 13 weeks we have been working on a play called Aladdin. We performed our performance this week in front of a crowd.  There are two casts Tahi and Rua, im in Rua. This is the whole cast.  We practiced our lines and our dances every Monday Tuesday and Thursday and even some Sundays. The whole cast put a lot of work and effort into this. Thank you to everyone who came and supported us in the audience.  Have you watched the movie Aladdin?

Mystical Matariki Kites

Happy Matariki everyone! 

On the 2 July, we celebrated the Māori New Year, a time to consider the year ahead. The days are starting to lengthen and spring will soon be here, we just need to get through this cold winter first! 

Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have got many stories attached to them. We looked at two; one about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow-colored. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.

My kite has Tawhirimatea and the wind represented with the clouds. I then colored it in like a rainbow.

What stories have you heard about Matariki?

This is my kite.
