In Te Maunga
we did a soundscape about Musical Instruments. We used all sorts of stuff like containers with beads in them, a wooden spoon, rocks, water, a bucket and sticks. I learnt that you can do heaps of stuff with small things.
In Te Maunga we did a dinorama about dinosaurs. We made fossils. We used plaster, Play-Doh and 1 strip of card. We all read the books and watched the video clips. I learnt that Africa was in Gondwana.
Last week in Te-Maunga we did college. We all did mountains because we are Te-Maunga, I did 1 mountain when we finished drawing the mountains we got magazines and started to cut out the colours we needed.
In Te Maunga we have been doing kindness letters. I wrote about a story that happened in lockdown, I said that when we were all allowed at the beach my mum bought bananas on a boat and we saw a fish float up on to the top of the water.
In Te Maunga we have been learning about viruses. I learnt that mushrooms are a type of fungi and that bacteria can be all shapes and sizes and when you sneeze you spray 6 million little viruses in the air.
In Te Maunga we have been learning about the water cycle. On my water cycle I showed the steps of how it works. I learnt that the steps are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection.
We did koru and kowhaiwhai patterns. My koru and kowhaiwhai patterns are air New - Zealand and normal ones. They represent my family, they are my family, my family is my mum, dad, my brother and me.
