Finding the Area of a Shape

WALT find the area of a shape in square centimeters.

We explored shapes by covering them with square centimeter cubes and counting how many cubes it took to cover the shape.

We then drew shapes on grid paper and counted how many squares our shapes covered.

Fairy Tales in Te Reo Maori

WALT retell fairy tales in Te Reo Maori
WALT make a movie using iMovie

We created this to help celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori (Maori Language Week)
We created this by taking a video of the little puppets moving.  Then we took off any background noise and recorded our voices saying the Te Reo Maori for the fairy tale. We then added titles to show the English translation and who made the video.

Kowahi and Nga Ringa's Experiment

WALT: explore what happens when dishwashing liquid, milk and food colouring are mixed.

We put milk into a bowl and then we got food colouring and put that around the bowl.

Then we put dishwasing liquid into the bowl and watched what happened.
The colours in some bowls mixed together because some people mixed the dishwashing liqiud in,  some colors zoomed away from the diswashing liquid like an explosion.
