Building a xylophone.

 Today I made two xylophones from paper and glass cups.

I put water in the glass cups so when I hit it it will make a different sound. I cut the paper in smaller pieces so when I hit it it will make different sounds.

when you hit the objects the sound vibrates in it to make sound.

below shows 2 videos of me hitting the objects.

Presentation | Inquiry

We presented our inquiry presentation to the teachers of LS1 the teachers are ,Mr Wong & Mr Ogilvie.

Before presenting our inquiry, we practised our script and timed how long the whole presentation took. The presentation expectation was to be within 2 and 3 minutes.

The feedback that we got was to not write a recount on what we worked on together, but instead talk about the main points of the activity. 

Te reo Maori

 Today for SLJ we worked on te reo Maori.

first we had to fix the gaps that spell (What are you doing today) in Maori and then it says what are you doing and have to fill the gaps in and lastly we get to answer the same question but at the end was my choice to choose.

Below is a google slide showing what I did.

Optical Illusions

 Today for SLJ I worked on making Optical Illusions.

Optical Illusions are geometric pictures or patterns that are mainly coloured in black or white. We were suppose to make our own optical Illusion.  

Below shows an Optical Illusion I made and coloured it in black and white.

Kowhaiwhai Pattern

 Today for SLJ worked on making a Kowhaiwhai pattern.

We had to copy and paste the Kowhaiwhai pattern repeatedly so it could make a pattern. After that you could change the background to colours that you think represents a tanerore or a colour that represents the summer.

Below is a picture of my creation of the Kowhaiwhai pattern.

Insect Art

Today this task for SLJ is Insect Art.

First we watched a video showing an artist making insects from leave's, twigs and other thing in nature.

The insect I made was a spider and the materials took a lot of time to get.
