4 things Astronauts do in space

Hello, Welcome back to my blog. Its Friday and I can't wait to go home because i've had a busy day. Anyway from today every friday we have to do maths on fridays which sucks. The reason we have to do maths on fridays is because all of the school execpt the year 7&8's have 4 days that they have to do Maths but Since the year 7 and 8 have tech we have to do Maths now... ):

This Term we are focusing on space and the teachers made a sheet of activitys to do and this is the one I decided to do. We have to do 3 activitys, its kind like  Tic Tac Toe but we don't have to do it 3 in a row.

Here is a screenshot of my work:

Magic LIghts

Kia Ora 

Welcome back to my blog.

 
For a couple of weeks we have been learning about Matariki and today we have been learning about the southern lights. The southern lights are lights that light up the sky. There are southern and northern lights, The southern lights are near the south pole and the northern lights are near the north pole. There are many myths about the mysterious lights and how they are made. The sun gets so hot that little bits of the sun brake off and come towards the earth at a fast speed because the earth is in line with the sun. The earth is protected because it has a magnetic field that surrounds the earth. So when the sun bits come towards the earth and hits the earth most of the bits are deflected but some of the bits make it through the atmosphere and makes the bright lights. The colors can be green,purple, pink and sometimes blue.

After learning about the lights we got to make some art that is based on the lights. First we had to rip a piece of paper to make a mountain range. Then we got some black paper and taped our moutain range to the black piece of paper. Then we got a paint brush and white paint and flicked the white paint onto our paper to make stars. Once we had our stars we had to wait for the paint to dry. Then we got some pastles and drew on the moutains. Then we smudged the pastles up to the top of the page to make the lights on top of the mountains.

Here it is:

My Super Siapo

Hello, Welcome back to my blog.

I have had an amazing week. I hope you have also had a good week.What did you do this week that was fun? I am happy that New Zealand has eliminated covid-19. Jacinda Ardern has done an excellent job at keeping New Zealand safe. Every wednesday we have been learning about Samoa and the Samoan culture.

One of the oldest and most important traditions of Samoa is the Siapo or Tapa.  It is a type of cloth made from the bark of the mulberry tree.  It is very time consuming, because the bark must be harvested, stripped, separated, scraped, and beaten before it can be used.  It is then laid out in the sun to dry.

The artist uses natural dyes, created from items such as berries, bark, and nuts to make patterns on the cloth.  

There are 13 traditional patterns used on siapo that represent things common to Samoan culture such as nets, coconut leaves, shells and flowers.
