Maths Week

 In Te Maunga this week we have been learning about maths week. For one of the activities we had to write down the numbers that added up to twenty but the twist was that there were already numbers written down and we had to add up to twenty with those numbers.

Probability

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about probability. If you don’t know what probability is I will tell you, probability is a type of math where you do all these types of activities and a math DLO. What I learnt for probability is that when you're playing Sneaky Snakes the most common number is three well for us it was. What I liked the most was when my group was playing Spending Splurge and I got all of the items and they only got two of the items. My group was Manaaki and Luke.

How To Keep Safe Online

 In Te Maunga we have been learning how to keep safe online. We also did a DLO about cybersmart and kawa of care, this is what I learnt. I learnt that you shouldn't accept a friend request from someone you don’t know but if it’s from someone you do know then you can accept it if you ask your parents first. You also have to be thirteen and over to have these apps, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Tik Tok. It's okay if you are doing Tik Toks and photos on your parents account just don’t tell people where you live, what number your letter box is and when it is your birthday.

Soundscape

In Te Maunga last week we did Soundscapes. All we had to do was get the things you needed for your soundscape, my group was Jacinta-Lee, Anika and Charlize, our theme was nature. These are the the things we used for our soundscape, we used jellybeans for the rain, snapped branches for branches snapping, Anika blew for the wind and Jacinta-Lee whistled for birds chirping. What I learnt was you could make more than 3 sounds with your mouth. 

Watching The Volcano Erupt

In Te Maunga the last week of Term 2 we did dioramas about dinosaurs. My group was Kahsius and Manaaki. For our dinorama we had to do a diorama of how we thought dinosaurs became extinct. For our diorama we did a theme about a volcano erupting. What I learnt was that dinosaurs were extinct sixty five million years ago, what I liked the most was doing the diorama and watching them erupt.

Kindness Letter

In Te Maunga we have been doing kindness letters. We wrote our kindness letters because we wanted to give them to people who were lonely during lockdown. We also tried to put inspiration and joy into our kindness letter.

Diary Writing

In Te Maunga during the lockdown some of the year 5s got to take their chromebook home to finish off work at home. When we were at home we got some tasks to finish off. One of them was diary writing for one of the pages on my slides. I talked about what I did for the day. We also got to choose if we wanted to put pictures on our slide. For one of the days me and my family walked and did some gym stuff I didn’t see very much except for this little girl that comes to my school. Here are two of my pages for what I did on my slide Diary Writing.
