Pattern Ball

We are learning to communicate and work as a team.
We had to pass the ball around but you couldn't pass to the person next to you.
First we started with one ball and then we added another ball then added one more.
To work out the pattern we passed it around until it seemed right and it ended up being like a star shape.
We had to do the chest pass with the netball then we had to do the bounce pass with the soccer ball and the rugby pass with the rugby ball.
To communicate we had to say the name of the person we were passing to and we had to have eye contact too.
We found it easy to remember the pattern.
We found it Challenging to fit everyone in the screen.

Matariki

What is Matariki?

Matariki is a time for New Zealanders and other countries to celebrate Matariki.

When it is nearly the time for Matariki, New Zealanders can harvest their crops ready for Matariki.

Matariki Legend

One of the legends is when Matariki fell in love in the sky  and had babies (shes a star by the way and she is the star of hope and health and wellbeing )

And her first child wasPōhutukawa

Pōhutukawa is the star of connected to the one who have passed away. 

Then Matariki had Tupuānuku.

Tupuānuku is the star connected with everything that grows in the soil  to be harvested or just gathered for food ready to eat.

Then came Tupuārangi.

Tupuārangi is the star connected with the trees and thing that grow on the tree and with the tree like birds , fruit  and berries.

And she had more and more.

The 9 sisters 

I have already told you about Pōhutukawa , Tupuānuku,  Tupuārangi and Matariki but Matariki is the mum but we still call it the 9 sister.

I have told you four stars but I still got to tell you the other five.

The twins Waitā and Waitī . But Waitī is the oldest out of both of them.

Waitī is connected with fresh rivers and food sources within.

Waitā is associated with the ocean and seafood.

Two down three to go.

Waipuna-ā-Rangi.

Waipuna-ā-Rangi is connected with the rain.

Ururangi is the star connected with the wind.

Last one.

Hiwa-i-te-Rangi  is the star connected with granting our wishes and our aspirations.

Now I will tell you about Dr. Matamua.

Dr. Matamua was a Māori astronomer he has been researching stars for over 30 years.

Dr. Matamua was the one who found out that there was nine stars and not seven.

This picture doesn't include all the sisters.

Gravity-What happens after you jump?

So say if you won the lottery and you won  a lot of moneyIf you were like meYou would jump up and down. But why do we go back down to the ground and not fly up into space ? 

The force: A natural pool of an object towards each other (Not from Star Wars) .

Did you know that without gravity there will be no air and no air means no us! So thank you gravity .

Here is something you might want to know about the force . Force: A pull or push act against an object move or change direction . 

Did you know gravity Is like invisible super glue holding us down ? 

One day My class and I got a science kit all about gravity If you don't know what a science kit is is a kit full of activities learning about gravity And there are also different science kits about the different things . but in the gravity science kit there were boinks and dropper poppers. I first got a boink. A boink is a spring action toy and next I got a  dropper popper and a dropper popper you have to turn This bowl shape inside out  and it would be Building up with power And when you drop it all the power will release But before you drop it you can put a ping pong ball in and then when you drop the ping pong ball Well go flying high in the sky and then  gravity will eventually pull it back down 

Did you know gravity is the cause for all unsupported objects falling down ?

One day Sir Isaac Newton was sitting under tree thinking but mainly sleeping. Then all of a sudden and apple fell onto his head Full stop then he thought why didn't the apple fall down and not go up ? So what happens after you jump in the air ? Well gravity will pull you like other objects , So try jumping and see how long you can stay in the air for.

Did you know when you throw a ball to your left or to your right the ball is always going to come down.

The Holy Trinity

Today we were learning about the Holy Trinity.
I enjoyed drawing the apple and writing how its like the father, the son and the holy spirit.
My  digital learning object shows that I can learn about the Holy Trinity in a fun way.
The skin of the apple is like  God. He protects us like the skin of the apple.
The flesh is like Jesus. He nourishes us.

The seeds are like the holy spirit planting the fruits of the holy spirit.

Homophones

Today I was learning to recognise homophones.
I enjoyed getting to learn how to tell there, their and they're.
I found it challenging to tell them apart at first because they sounded the same.
My learning object shows that I can now tell there, their and they're apart.

This is what some of the words mean
They're iis  they are smashed together.
Their is like him and her .
There is here but with a t at the front.

Here are some sentences for you to try.
______ dog is huge.
I need to go _____.
______  baking a cake .

Pentecost

This week  we are learning about Pentecost and how the disciples got blessed by the Holy Spirit.
I enjoyed creating the flame and when you turn it over its a Dove.
I found it challenging to make the flame thats a Dove because it was hard to match the paper in line with each other.

It says in my R.E book,
As the Disciples waited in a room for the Holy Spirit the wind had started to blow like a wind strom then a tongue of fire laid above the Disciples heads . Then as soon as this happened one of the disciples called Peter told the crowd (that had came running to see what had happened) And some people thought that the Disciples were acting strange because they were all speaking different languages. Peter told them that they were not acting strange because God said that this was going to happen. God made it so they can speak different languages to spread Gods word. When you turn it over  it becomes a Dove.
