Poi Rakua

Here is a video of me and Ella doing our own Poi Rakua routine. For maori we had to make our own poi rakua routine and film it for our blog. 

I think we could have been cleaner with our passes and got our timing better but over all we did pretty well. 

what would your poi rakua routine look like 

 

Te wiki o Te Moari

 This week is Maori learning week so I made a animation of some kupu you can find at the netipaoro/ netball courts. 

if you slowly click through you will see the animation come to life with the kupu and there translation when they come on to the screen. I choose the netball courts because i go there a lot and I thought it would be good to learn some new kupu to add to my vocabulary. I think I did a pretty good job putting together this animation and the choice of kupu was quite simple and easy to learn. I do think that I could have added more moving items but I think I did pretty well for my first animation on slides. 

if you made an animation where would you do it ands what are some kupu you would use to teach others some Te Reo Maori? 

The Majestic Matariki Kites

 Hello bloggers This term we have been learning about the amazing event of Matariki the Maori new year that took place on July 2. We combined the two books about Matariki that we read the seven kites of Matariki and together in love the legend of Matariki. 

We made the kites in rainbow just like ururangi did and put Tawhrirmmatea

on the kite to represent the other story of Matariki.

What is the story that you heard of.

The big build 🏗️👷

 Hey bloggers I am back and this week we had to build a table the could hold a book for 3 seconds. We did it in groups of 5. I had Ella.D, Isla, Brooke and Pandora. we wanted to do a table that had 4 legs at each corner and one in the middle but we ran out of tape and didn't finish ours in time and ended up getting DQ.

I think we did really well but we could have been more careful with the amount of tape we used. 

What type of table would you have used?

The Matariki stars

 Hey bloggers, the past few weeks we have been learning about Matariki and the Maori new year.

Since Matariki is coming up on 2 of July we thought it would be fun to do a Matariki art piece. 

We did foam printing. Foam printing is when you draw on foam and coat the foam in ink and transfer it onto paper. I drew a random mountains range but you can draw whatever mountains you want. 

The steps to make the foam printing art are simple.

Step 1: draw your design on a piece of paper(remember to do it backwards for it to come out the right way)

Step 2: once you are happy with you drawing then draw you work and keep it backwards on to your foam with a ball point pen and don't pierce it of it will show up.

Step 3: then put your ink on the foam and make sure you use a lot.

Step 4: once done putting on the ink place in face up on a table and put the paper on top and smooth the paper out .

Step 5: rub the paper on to the foam and then slowly peel the paper away from the foam.

Step 6: then let your art work dry and if you want you can wash the foam and make more art work.

To make the frame you get an A3 piece of paper and cut out the size of the foam from the middle and then boom you've got your frame.

I really like the color and design of mine but i could have made my lines a little deeper and used more ink. 

What would you do if you did foam art.
