Winter Learning Journey

This last week we have been learning our learning journey with the help of our amazing teachers. They are many actives you can do which is really fun and really awesome. My favourite Activty was the song maker, its an website where you can make your own type of songs with your own rythym. Here is the song a made with a photo of the website so you know what it looks.

Whaakari-(White islands)

Our challenge was to research the impact of a specific volcanic eruption in Aotearoa. We had the choose bewtween Mt Tarawera or Whakaari.

We found out that Whakaari or white island is a stratovolcano or a composite cone volcano.  Located in in the Bay of Plenty, off to the coast of the North Island of New Zealand by 30 miles.  Whakaari last erupted in December 9th, 2019 this eruption was very fatal as many lives were taken and many people injured.  Whakaari is known to be on of the most active volcano in New Zealand meaning it can erupt again anytime in the future.

Matariki Stars

Our challenge was to research the History behind Matariki and Her Chilldren and diffrents topics of birds.To explore the matariki stars we were working in pairs and even groups

Something i learnt was Matariki is the central star, this is the mother of the star cluster, it represents reflection, hope, gathering of people, reflecting to the past and looking forward to the future ahead of them.

Something i enjoyed was we got to collaborate which made it easier and it was way more funnier.

Why Maungrei Sleeps? Pourquoi Story

far back, in the mists of time when the world was very young there was a mountain named Maungarei but she was called the raging destruction, she would always be asleep, however as her siblings came around she started to get furious. As she looked, She rumbled with death because all her siblings  were getting all the clout,  the mountain named Maungarei went BOOM! Her siblings got annoyed at her as she laughed.

 

So her siblings started to ignore her and she started to feel more lonely and she tried to apologize, her siblings started to forgive her but as her siblings played around.

 

Maungarei was starting to get more angry each day with magma/lava bursting everywhere but as the oldest sibling came upon her she started to meditate herself as she slowly became dormant, but as she became dormant, chaos started to stop and started to become peacefully, then every other mountain became dormant and it started look like a normal world until, Maungrei woke up “I’m back!! Said Maungrei. 

 

And It started to wreak havoc again, Then The craziest thing happened, Tane Mahuta Came to NZ and had a chat with Maungarei, “you need to stop” yelled Tane mahuta, After That the humans will still scared every time he watches over us, so he started to stop everyone started to get use to him and they lived nice and peaceful world.

 

The world started to look more modern and as every mountain had their beauty sleep, You can hear the birds singing as u dance outside with peace, The started to get used to building new apartments and it was a lot safer with no rumbling, and they didn’t need to worry about sibling no more and people started to get more energetic with their work, The tree’s became more green you can see more of the sunlight better with the clouds not blocking it no more.

This term we’ve been learning about volcanoe for the past two weeks we have been creating volcano animation. This volcano anaimation is about how the cycle moves with the tectonic plates clashing or coliding and how it erupts. I enjoyed this task as we made a animation of the things we have been learning about.
