Summer learning journey week 2 day 2

GIVE WEAVING A GO!!!
Hey bloggers!!! Today I am blogging on Weaving with flax. This is for the Summer Learning Journey. I am really enjoying it right now. Have you every weaved with flax before? Well I haven't.
Today, we have to explain if weaving interests us , you want to try and why? 
I would like to try because I looks like a challenge and I love challenges because they push me. When you challenge yourself, you seem to learn more than you usually do with normal learning. 
I want to give it a go also because it can mean or create something special for someone like you family mebersand your friend.

Maybe you could make one for a person in your family???!!

  1. Kia ora Manea,

    Happy New Year! I was excited to see that you have completed a couple of activities last week. This was a nice surprise to come back too after my holiday.

    I remember learning to weave flax on a school camp once but have not had a go in a long time. It would be such a good challenge to set yourself over the school holidays. Maybe you could find a YouTube tutorial and come back to school with gifts for your friends. I think I would make a flax bag for my son, Nico, to cart all his toys around. I might also make a book mark for my Mum as she is always reading a book. What do you think you would make as gifts for your whanau and friends?

    I am excited to see many more activities from you over the summer holidays.

    Keep up the awesome work,
    Megan :)

Production

Our school production this year was Pasifica Peter Pan (a twist on an old classic). We started rehearsing early last term and presented to an audience last week, with three performances (two in the evening and one Friday matinee show).  Our song at the end was one of our Jump Jam songs.  The senior syndicate had major and minor roles, both on stage and behind the scenes. The rest of the school performed cultural dances from around the Pacific. Shows were sold out and audiences were treated to a spectacular performance. An amazing end result from all our hard work! Well done! 

Technolagy rotation

Hi, bloggers for the past three weeks we have been doing a technology Rotation. We had many different stops like making paper circuits, making a Marble Bridge and making Geo boards . In the paper circuit making we had to try make a light using and LED battery to make a  LED light bulb flash or turn on. After trying that out, we used different materials that have electricity to make a circuit.  Some of the materials we used were LED batteries and light bulbs , tinfoil, split pins and paper clips. Our challenge was to make a switch to turn our LED light bulb  and turn it off again. The thing that I found difficult was trying to get the circuit stable and show perseverance. The next place I went to was making Geo boards. The materials we used were nails, wood and elastic strings.  The Geo board challenge was using measurement to create, using tools to put things together and also taking turns and sharing. The thing I found difficult were nailing the nails in because I ...

Summer learning (week 1/ Day 1)

Today's  activity for the summer learning journey is finding out three top facts about New Zealand on the Tourism New Zealand site.  My first facts about New Zealand is,   New Zealand is part of the pacific rim of fire and it's most active volcano is Mount Ruapehu , which is found in the middle of the North Island . Did you know that? The Auckland sky tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the southern hemisphere, standing at 328 meters high.  Last fact about New Zealand that I found interesting was  30% of the country is forest. So there must be a lot of trees then. CAN YOU FIND OUT SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT NEW ZEALAND? LEAVE A COMMENT ON WHAT YOU FOUND OUT BLOG YOU LATER
