Things I Bet You Didn't Know About Angles

This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about angles,
we made math DLOs on how angles work, we did this in pairs,
I was with Grace. There are lots of different types of
angles, such as right angles, obtuse, acute, reflex, straight
angle & a full rotation. Instead of writing a script we wrote
what we were going to say on the slideshow so they have a
chance to read it if they cannot hear us properly. Then we
screencastify it explaining clearly how we solved it. What I
found hard was making sure I answered all of the questions
correctly, another thing I found hard was memorising what
the reflex angle looked like and how many degrees it was.
What I found easy was knowing what  right, acute & obtuse
angles looked like.

PouPou Art

In Te Ngahere we have been doing poupou art. Poupou is a
traditional carved piece of wood which you would usually
see on top of a whare in New Zealand. So we decided to
turn that into art, we started by folding a small piece of
paper into a grid of 6 then we drew the body using the
directions from our teacher and this was our practise copy.
We then drew around the pencil with vivid, after that we
drew our designs & colored them in, we had to make sure
the designs weren't too detailed and small because we were
using pastel to color them in and pastels are thick, then we
started our good copy on a bigger piece of paper.

Here is mine

Maths DLO

This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning to convert fractions decimals & percentages. We each had to write a script on how to do the math. Gail did converting fractions into percentages, Imogen did converting decimals into percentages & I did converting fractions into decimals. We then wrote our script on a google slide, after we had done that we had to screencastify it. What I could have done better next time is spend less time on making it look pretty, what I think I did well was I added it in 3 steps instead of putting it all together. Here is ours

Sunrise Tree Art

This week in Te Ngahere we did sunrise tree art, we used pastels to
draw & color in our art. First we had to draw a thick orange or red
circle in the center of the page than we had to draw thicker yellow
circle inside & leave a small gap in the middle. Then we had to use 
lighter yellow or white in the center, after we had done all of that we
had to smudge it all together kind of like an ombre effect. We then
has to draw a tornado shape underneath the sun using black pastel
or charcoal & draw tree on top of it so it is like a silhouette. What I
could do better next time is do my art a bit quicker instead of mucking
around & what i did well was I followed all the instructions correctly.
Are you a good artist?
