Animals Animals Animals!

Last Friday I went to Auckland Zoo and we saw a lot of animals. When I went with my whole class, we were split into 3 groups and we went off to see some animals.  The people that were in my group with Mrs Buchanan were Prudence, Alex, Bella and Leilani.

The first animal we saw was a lion and we learnt so much about them. Later on we went to see the meerkats and we went through the meerkat tunnels to see a meerkat up close. During that Alex and I started yelling WHERE IS THE EXIT? PRUDENCE HURRY UP BECAUSE WE WANT TO GET OUT!!! We yelled that because we were really scared. After we got out we told Mrs Buchanan what happened and then we went and saw a different animal.

We saw all the animals except for a kiwi and a tuatara.

Aloha, Orana, Kia Orana, Talofa Lava and Kia Ora and also greetings to you all!

Kahurangi: The People Of The Pacific

Two days ago the whole school and I watched a group called Kahurangi: The People Of the Pacific.

They went around the Pacific Islands and they showed us what the dances are in Tahiti, Hawaii, Samoa, Rarotonga and lastly but not least New Zealand. They greeted us with the greeting that the people used from each of the islands.

The greeting that Lucky used for the island of Tahiti was Orana. The next Island was Samoa and the lady used the greeting Talofa Lava. The next two greetings Lucky used separately were … Aloha and Kia Orana and those greetings came from the islands of Rarotonga and Hawaii. The last island we visited was New Zealand.

In New Zealand we saw a real taiaha.

A taiaha is a weapon that many Maori people used and they showed us what the top bit of the taiaha is used for and what the bottom part of the taiaha is used for. It was really cool seeing what you can do with taiaha.

At the end we got to ask the five people some questions. My favourite question was when someone said what inspired you to dance. The other man (not Lucky) said" I dance because I love to do it and it makes me passionate and happy" and he also said it in a really funny way.

SHAPE TILING!

 Last week on Friday we did tiling on a piece of paper with bricks. The bricks were the same size and we had to have no gaps in our tiling. when we finished we had to create a google drawing and use shapes that were polygons. A Polygon is a 2D shape with more than 2 sides. Here is mine take a look:
