Early Māori Technology

The other day room 9 was lucky enough to have whaea Toni in the class and these were some of the things we learnt about. The early Māori Technology. Some of the things they used were harakeke (flax), pounamu (Green Stone) and much more. Whaea also told us about a bird called the moa, The moa could grow up to about 4 metre tall and went extinct because of the Maori people. Harakeke was one of the most useful things the Māori had because they could make sandals, baby beds, kites, mats and many more things. They’re so many things that the Maori could do back then that some can’t do know. The Māori people with a moko (tattoo on their faces) were hunted for it because it was like a trophy to other Māori.

Back in the day the Māori use to dig a hole in the ground to make a toilet (Long drop). The Māori people do that so the smell wouldn’t make the food smell back. Some of the other things they had were whāre (house), fire, clothing, waka and weapons. At the end of the day the class did some rāranga which is a Māori way of weaving.

Bomb Tastic

Last term room 9 made Olympic silhouette. First we got  to pick a silhouette from on google, then we put it into a google doc that is in our google Drive. After we put it into our Drive we sent it to miss to print it out. When we got it from the printer we had to cut it out. We also went and grabbed a A3 piece of paper, then we went and grabbed our silhouette and placed it in the middle of the page. Before placing it on the paper I had to make a boarder, the sizes were 6 cm on top and 4 cm on the sides. While we had our silhouette in the middle of the page we drew squiggly lines out from it. When that was all finished we got to choose some colours to colour in between the gaps.

After all those minutes some of the kids had to rip up bits of magazines to make a collage. We were only aloud to use white paper with black writing. To stick it onto the paper I used PVA glue, when it was all on I went over it with some more PVA glue, then waited for it to dry then I was finished.

Thanks For Reading.

SPACE PRESENTATION

Explore The Solar System

Here is my space presentation.

space presentation

I choose to make a slideshow about all the planets in the solar system. All the planets have their own facts about them. I choose to do all the planets because I thought that it would be interesting learning about them. My favorite planet is Jupiter because it is the biggest and baddest. Hope you enjoy it.

Space Home Learning

This my 3D home learning project. It is a rocket ship called little crazy. It's made from card board, string, plastic bag and felts.

Whanaungatanga

Whanaungatanga for me means having a place that makes you feel at home.It also means having a sense of belonging.Whanaungatanga is good because it means that you can connect with others.
