Kia ora nga kapapanui, Today I am learning in Pangarau about angles, Week 1-2 we learned what angles are, During week 2 we used how to learn a protractor, protractors are really hard, but I got it in the end. This week we learned to identify the different types of angles, here are the types of angles we learned over the weeks:
Right angles: A right angle is exactly 90 degrees
Isosceles angles: An isosceles angles is all the same sides
Equilateral angles: An equilateral angle is three angles that are all the same size {60 degrees}
Scalene angles: A scalene angle is when all three angles are different measures.
I really hope you guys find this useful, It was hard at the start but then I got used to it.
Kia ora, I am here with another blog post about my landscapes, my landscape was about me being in the ocean and coming up to the ocean to find a beautiful and handsome prince above the land.
Kia ora, today I am here with another blog post about the book “Button” which became popular during World War 1 and 2.
What have I learned so far?
I have learned that the school in Wellington was donating buttons to the school for fundraising for the people who were killed in the war, and also for the children who had lost their parent’s lives that year and never came back. The school has a website called {www.moriahbuttons.wikispaces.com} and the kids from Moriah School were collecting heaps and heaps of buttons that they had in their lives. They had to do this for 2 years. The 13- year old girl named, Liza said “We wanted to make sure that they didn’t be forgotten”. The name is called “The Button Project”.
In my next blog, I will talk about my work and what we are doing. Nga Mihi.
Kia ora, my name is Misty-Rose and I am here today to talk about dance and the different types of dancing.
Why do we dance?
We dance because it is good for physical fitness, personal expression, and flexibility of the body and mind. It is also a great way to connect with other people.

My favorite types of dance are Salsa, Argentine Tango, Contemporary, and Charleston.
Salsa- Salsa is a style of dance and Caribbean music.
Argentine Tango- Argentine Tango is a tango dance from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Contemporary- Contemporary is a mix of Modern Dance, Ballet, Jazz, and Lyrical as well.
Charleston- Charleston is named after a city in Charleston, South Carolina.

Kia ora, Last term I built my tiny home out of paper by using our knowledge of Area, Perimeter, and Problem-solving.
Why did we do this?- because it gives me a good chance to learn new things and figure them out on my own and a little bit of help from my teacher.
How did we make these?- We did some research about tiny homes around the motu, by also using formulas as well and constructing our tiny stuff before we started.
Reflecting- I think that I have learned my ways to build and think about placing around the tiny home and constructing my tiny bed, table, etc.
Māori is about learning new words, The Matariki stars, and other stuff.
I enjoyed learning new words that I didn’t even know when I was in primary because the simple words that I learned in primary were when I was 5 years old.
The thing I struggled with was nothing because I had to study the words at home.
One activity that stands out from the 2 terms & why?- The activity that stands out for me is the new words that I have learned over the past term.
Here is my tiny whare.
