Tempting Tangrams

In Te Ngahere I have been learning how to make Tempting Tangram. We were given two sheets with the Instructions and the other for the activity. Using the instructions sheet, we were able to create a parallelogram using all our shapes from the other paper that we cut out. After following the steps (which was hard), we couldn’t overlap or cut the shapes into another shape to make the parallelogram. We had to use the shapes and combined them together to create the parallelogram was is challenging and fun for my group. I got excited when I first made the parallelogram.

Camp

Last Monday the Year 7 & 8’s went to Wellington for camp. The reason why we went on a camp together is because we wanted to make memories before the year 8’s head off. We stayed at Te Herenga Waka marae for a full week. Every morning and night we had amazing meals that were cooked for us. They also made lunches for us to take out for the day when we went out exploring. Every day was action packed and we travelled to lots of interesting places. The presentation will explain what we did throughout the week.

presentation will be uploaded soon 

Tuia 250

Last week on Saturday my family and I went to Tuia 250 in Whangarei. Tuia 250 is when ships and waka come in like Ngahiraka Mai Tawhiti, Faafiti, Endeavor, The R.Tucker Thompson, Haunui and the Spirit of New Zealand. When the ships and waka come in we then had a powhiri. After that we had a kai and then had free time. In my free time I watched a band with my friends called Missy, Zhynaliyah and Miki. Then we went to go learn how to navigate with a group called Ngahiraka Mai Tawhiti, It was so fun because we had to lay down and look at the stars.
