Visiting Te Ngahere

Our class is named Te Ngahere so our teacher thought that it would be cool of we could make our class into a ngahere, so on Tuesday our class when to visit the Ngahere to look around and see what we could incorporate in to our class. We were a put into groups and each group was given a place in our class we had to change  into a ngahere. My group has the job of making a set of shelves in to a tree, so we were look for things the we could make a put on the shelf to make it look like a tree. My group thought that we could make a vine wrap it around the shelf and then make moss, mushrooms and other little shrubs and put then in the corners. What do you think of our idea?

Turbo Touch

On Monday Whaea Shana taught our class a new game called turbo touch. Turbo touch is like Netball and rugby mixed together but you can’t kick the ball. To score a point, two passes must have been made to open the active zone. You can’t enter the active zone until it is open. The active zone is at both ends of the field. You can have 3 - 5 people in you team. If the person holding  the ball gets touched with two hands it's a hand over. I enjoyed scoring points. I was good at get the ball to the active zone. Next time I could share the ball more with my team  Have you ever played turbo touch before?

Newspaper Tower

Last week in Te Ngahere we made a newspaper tower.  We could only use two big sheets of newspaper and thirty cm of sticky tape. First we discussed how we were going to make our tower be as tall as possible and not fall over. Then we assembled the tower. We designed the tower so that it looked like a telescope. After that we went and got our tower measured and our tower was 1.69 cm tall. That was only about 1-3 cm shorter than the teacher but it was taller than all of my group!!!!!!! Then we wrote a reflection on our work to say how we worked well and what we could do better.

Whanaungatanga

Last Week in Te Ngahere, we were learning about our hoe. We had to explain what our hoe are. There are four hoe they are; Kaha -  being Strong, Tu Maia - Resilience, Whanaungatanga - Helping each other and Manaakitanga - respect. 

We first got into groups of 2 or 3. My group was Breeze and myself. We decided to create a presentation about Whanaungatanga on canva. We first had to brainstorm it on a google doc and then we wrote our information on our created presentation. This is what we created hope you like it.
