Insane Noise Machines

We have had a module change. One of my new modules is insane noise machines. We have been looking at lots of different instruments and we are choosing to make our own. We have started a portfolio slide so that we have a record of all our work. Check mine out! :)

The Department of Conservation

The last few weeks my Whangara class has been looking at organisations that are helping to make a difference all around New Zealand. I chose to do a slide presentation on DOC ( The Department of Conservation), at the moment DOC are trying to have a predator free NZ 2050.  They want to rid NZ of pests such as rats, possums and stoats, (and so on). Here is my slide presentation on DOC. Enjoy! :)

ANZAC Day

In my Whangara class we were set some tasks we had to do two tasks of our choice I chose to make ANZAC biscuits with a twist and to read a book. 

ANZAC Cookies
I made three different types of Anzac biscuits and I recorded which one my family enjoyed the most. I made some normal ones, some chocolate ones and some seed ones. The chocolate ones got three votes, the seed one's got one vote and the normal biscuits got one vote. Now I know that my family enjoys Anzac biscuits with chocolate drops.

 Das Piano
 I read a story called Das Piano. It was about a young boy at war with his teacher while his father is at war. The kids end up playing a game called ‘catch the german’ but when the teacher that the young boy is at war with catches them playing it she punishes them by making them sing in front of the mayor. They start singing along to a piano but they soon find out that the piano was made in Germany so the teacher and the mayor destroy it with an axe.

Greenhouse Gasses

This week we have had online classes. In my Whangara class we have been looking at the climate. Today I have completed a presentation on the greenhouse gasses. Here it is. :) 

Food chains and Webs

Last week in my Whangara class we took a look at food chains and webs. We had a look at producers and consumers. We also took a look at how it could affect us and other consumers if one of our food sources disappeared. We made slides on all of these things take a look at mine.

Term 4 Summary

This term has been a blast! We have been surfing, competing in athletics, gone to intermediate open days,  kapa haka,  just dance, year six item and we are about to start swimming!  I have really enjoyed my final term at Wainui. There has been one thing that I have enjoyed a little above others which was our inquiry topic - Culture city.

I have enjoyed finding out lots of interesting facts. We are going to turn all of our information into a book. We had to find out about each cultures Drama, Dance, Visual arts and Music. I have written a blogpost on Kapa Haka. We competed in ball throw, sprints, long jump and  high jump for athletics. It was really fun doing just dance in the mornings, we danced to lots of different songs from different cultures with actions. Year sixes get to go surfing every friday morning if they would like to. We  even got to have a fun day out at our chosen intermediates.

We are creating a dish from a culture to bring in for a shared morning tea. I am making something from South America! We got up to lots of other cool things this term but these were my highlights. I am super excited for next year. :)
