Rhythm Interative's Visit to PBS

This week  we were visisted by THe Rhythm Interactive. We did Drumming, We had an instructor, the name of the instructor was  "Johnny". Johnny taught us beats and rhythms. LS2 helped the juniors, just in case they needed help. We were not by ourselves, we had the whole school join us for this event. Johnny told us about a phrase that helped him with drumming "If you can say it you can drum it". When he would do a beat or a rhythm we would copy him and repeat what he did. We played on drums that were made from Africa, the name of the drums were Djembe. I liked learning from Johnny because I have never tried drumming before.

Inference in maths

This week in maths we are learning to inference. Inference means to read the text and skim and scam for the hints that tell you what is happening. I worked collaboratively with Ellanora to create a DLO that tells other peolpe Inference in maths. We have put in a example of how to infere when you are asked a maths question. Our question talks about rows in a chocolate bar.

Hiwi Kiwi show

Hiwi Kiwi show 

This week we watched a show called Hiwi the Kiwi Mr and Mrs Minstral were the stars of the show . They taught us that fish and birds are dying from plastic and rubbish that is going into the sea, because they think it is food and if they eat it they could die. To pick up a fish you need to hold it in a wet towel to keep them from not dying. You need to put any very small fish or very big fish back into the water again and let them swim so they can keep growing.. Mr Minstral sang a song called Kai Moana, this means fish from the sea, and Mrs Minstral danced with the whole school. If we don't have fish we have less jobs and no food from the sea. Mr and Mrs Minstral told us to teach our parents how to hold a fish and always wearing your life jacket is an important thing when you go fishing. The black petrol birds eat fish. Sometimes they think it is a fish but it's plastic in the water and they eat it and can die . The black petrol birds are nearly extinct. This is why you should pick up rubbish. This is what you can improve on to save fish and birds or even other sea animals.
I felt like this show was helping us learn ways to save the sea animals. I really like the songs that Mr Minstral sang and Mrs Minstral's dancing, it was a fun way to learn.

Ballet

Yesterday Chloe who is a Dance Educator from the Royal New Zealand Ballet came to PBS to teach LS2 a dance sequence .  The dance was based on the famous ballet 'Swan Lake' and was called 'Black Swan, White Swan'. We learnt contemporary and modern dance movements which Chloe taught us,we also had to improvise for the ending. The music was classical music by Tchaikovsky.

I really enjoyed this experience and appreciate this great opportunity to learn about the ballet.
A huge thank you to Chloe for teaching us and also to Mrs Jones who organised this great opportunity for us.

Strengthening connections to maths language

Today Eyaka and I completed this Maths Vocabulary DLO about Maths language. We started with the word  “Hello” and we discussed the different ways people say hello in other countries, like Bonjour, Konichiwa and Ni hao. Last week Whaea Donna visited LS2 and helped Mrs Anderson to find ways we could strengthen our maths language. We learned about the 2 meanings of the word plane, we did not know that the word plane has two different meanings. In Mathematics, a plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface.  Our DLO shows different words we use in Maths to help us with maths equations.
