1. This year the hole school have been doing a production about celebrations ares was about Diwali, participating in this production was really fun, I did the colorful dance and the black and white dance or though I was not there on the day to film, but for the colorful dance we made it look joyful fun and creative, we did struggle at fist but as we practiced more and more we finally got the hang of it.

1. We made the colorful dance with ribbons, pois and hula hoops there are about 4 people with pois and 3 people with hula hoops, then about 5 people with ribbons, with the props we put the people with pois at the front, then people with hula hoops behind them, the people with ribbons just went anywhere and done some light movements with them.

1. With the dance we done some sharp moves at the start then some colorful and happy movements like crazy and silly, some movements were funny then others were light and happy, on the stage it was much easier to practice, because we new what space we had to perform on.

T

his term we have been doing cantamath, for maths, this is a type of competition when you choose an activity to do, my group done games, so what you choose it has to be maths related, so we made a puzzle going up to 50 pieces, so we we got all the material we needed, then make a plan then start building your project.

This term every Monday we have been doing passions, this is when you do something you really enjoy for a example I have been doing sketching, line dancing, acrylic painting and now I’m doing water colors, these activities are all something I enjoy and when  I have also been doing water colors I have decided to go for a sunset theme and trees like a autumn tree or even tulips.

Every day in Tangaroa we have been doing maths, I have been doing maths with Nicole one of my teachers, we have been learning fractions, this is a type of maths with two numbers one on top and one on bottom also known as the denominator and Numerator so if there is a question like 1/5 + 4/5 then to figure that out you gotta plus the first number with the first second number so 1 + 4 is 5 so that is the top number  then if the second number is the same as the other second number you don’t do anything with it so this fraction is 5/5 if that made any sense.

A challenge That I faced this week was during tech when I had to use a soldering gun because we were making a circuit so this was really scary but I faced my fear and did it and since that I love soldering.

My goal for next week is to get really good at adding fractions with different denominators by asking a teacher or friend to help and converting the denominator.

This is my reflective blog for week 6.

One thing I achieved was learning how to swim, I have been really happy with swimming with my friends.

Another thing that went really well was math I have been making good progress, I have  been really happy with the progress I have grown with maths in this class.

One challenge I had this week was breath stroke it was really hard because I had no goggles for swimming, and I didn’t learn breath stroke when I was younger, I’m really happy that I got there in the end.

This is my cool rise team art its called neurographic art according to scientists it calms your mind down,  your supposed to think of sad angry happy scary and embarrassing stuff and the way to make this is, first scribble on your paper and then turn them into circles you cand just color all the corners and then color. you can use crayons water colors and paint brushes and then you might come out with something like this. so that is how you make neurographic art.

For my investigation, me and my buddy investigated how many sit-ups can you do in a minute? So we did 10 boys and 10 girls and we wrote down how many sit-ups they did in 1 minute we turned it into a bar graph and a strip graph.
