Dance

Today in dance we worked on our geometrical dance. We got reminded that we had to be in sync with the music meaning in time and the different types of music that will suit our dance. We had to think about the tempo which is the speed and the beat of the music. It was quite tricky for our group but we managed to get some moves that we made up into a creative way.  To inspire us we watched a video that could give us some ideas of what to do. We compared and contrasting with two different genres such as ballet music and rock music.  

Omaru River

Our main inquiry focus today was about the Omaru River this river is located in East Auckland , Glen Innes. We were talking about the positive side affects and the negative side affects. To share our thinking we had to make a DLO about it and add some images to kind of back up our positives and negatives. The blockages in the river can make the water stagnant which can make the water dirty and polluted.Fifita and I worked together.

Tech

In food tech we got to make chicken kebabs and potato salad. This was a long process but it turned out to be really good with the correct equipment we needed.  I learnt how to make potato salad. We first put the potatos in the pot of hot boiling water , with the potatoes diced and sliced. We put this in for about 15 minutes then took them out. Now we added in some spring onions to it and put some dressing in along with some boiled egg. I thought this was really nice along with the chicken kebabs that tasted nice. I hope to make many more of these in my own time.

What is a river?

Fifita and I worked together to create a DLO on what is a river. This was apart of our inquiry with Mrs Anderson. Fifita and I has put labels on the Tamaki river map to show what we are talking about. We have tried our best to show a really cool DLO. 

Godwits

For the past few weeks we have been learning about Godwits. Watch this presentation to find more information. Lyndon, Jorja, Fifita  and I worked together to try and finish off our presentation about Godwits. Godwits are one of the most coolest birds ever. I can't believe that they can fly from New Zealand to Alaska without stopping for 8 days. We have been researching a lot about what they look like, what they eat, where they live, and what eats them. As you can see we have tried our best to put this on our blog

Godwits DLO

For the past few weeks I have been learning about the godwits for inquiry. This DLO shows how do birds fly, shows 3 important things before they fly off to Alaska. Godwits always stuff themselves before they fly to Africa, the only reason why they stuff themselves is because they burn half of their weight. It was interesting to find a lot of information about godwits. Fifita and I tried our best to complete this DLO about how do birds fly.
