Keep Your Self Safe

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about how to keep yourself safe online. We learned that we need to make sure we don’t accept people we don’t know online. We also learned that we should not tell anyone our address because they can look it up on google or somewhere where they can get the exact address and go to your house and do something bad to your house and you. We all have to tell our parents or someone if they keep requesting access to your social media. You have to be 13 years old to have Twitter, Tik Tok, Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram.

SoundScapes

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about musical instruments and at the end of the slide there is always a create  for us to do. This create was to create a soundscape using different materials around the classroom/our house. My group was Jaelyn-Marie, Anika, Jacinta-Lee and I. We used sticks cracking, whistling for the wind, fake jelly beans for the rain and rubbing a pencil on the table. I learned that people make sounds to put into movies and how to make sounds.

Dinosaurs

In Te Maunga we have been learning about dinosaurs. I learnt that carnivore is a meat eater, herbivore is a plant eater and omnivore is a meat and plant eater.  What I liked the most was when we were watching the volcano erupt.

Pepeha And Greetings

In Te Maunga we have been doing pepeha and greetings. In Pepeha and greetings I have learnt Ka kite apopo which means  see you tomorrow in Maori. My Maunga is Pouerua because I live in Northland.

Mountain Art

The past weeks in Te Maunga we have been doing collages. We got an A4 piece of paper for our planning. Then we were given magazines and we had to cut out the colour we needed. In the process of making it I learnt that you have to cut the pieces really tiny to stick them on. We read a book called Battle of the Mountains. We read the book because our class is Te Maunga.

Kindness Letter

In Te Maunga we have been doing kindness letters to give to people who were alone in lockdown. In my kindness letter we had to put a funny story or a positive message. I did a funny story. My funny story is when I was riding my cousin Tamati’s bike. Only one of his brakes worked and I had my ice block in my hand on the brake that didn’t work. I went down the hill and went up in the hammock and it saved me from going into my neighbours property.
