NZ Identity Treaty of waitangi

My slide
A table I completed
Here is a compare and contrast map that is halve completed
I found most of the class interesting like when I learnt that the English had translated it differently then it said on the English article.
I would like to find more about how the Maori survived when the treaty was getting signed.

Meirt Must do #2

Yesterday I was in the playground enjoying myself with my friends. We played 4 square and Charlotte L, Anneke and I did some shooting games with the basketball hoop. We all showed the leaner quality of a active thinker by being careful of my surrounding and not getting in the way of any games.

I can describe the characteristics of music in songs from the past and present and from different genres.


Over the past 9 weeks I have been learning to describe the characteristics of music from songs of various times and genres.


I can name and define these characteristics of music… (list them below and explain what they are)


1. form: The term form is the overall structure or plan of a piece of music, and it describes the layout of a composition as divided into sections.

2. melody: a sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying; a tune.

3. harmony: the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce a pleasing effect

4. timbre: the character or quality of a musical sound or voice as distinct from its pitch and intensity.

5. rhythm: regular repeated pattern of movement or sound in a song.

Which characteristic do you find yourself picking up on when listening to your own music now?
When I listen to my own music I often hear lots of rhythm

Merit must do #1

On Tuesday I went to technology I am in design and Sophie and I made phone cases with the 3D printer. They both didn't work out as well as we thought they would so we moved on to complete our other projects. I made a phone holder instead with a charger hole. I used the learner quality of active thinker by answering lots of questions and winning the kahoot by listening to the things the teachers say.

I can take action to improve the water cycle in Canterbury

In this project I was working with anneke, Savannah and the two Charlotte's and we decided to create a 30 second ad.


Here is a link what we made.


In this project we decided that our success criteria were: 
A good TV ad needs...
Why is this important?
It need’s to have Humor
So people don’t get bored and change the channel
Cachty
It need’s to be catchy so people like the product (e.g It’s a pillow it’s a pet it’s a pillow pet!!!!!)
Metaphor and similes to get your point across
To make the idea to sound more bigger
Audio and video must match up
So that people don't think there is something wrong with the interweb
A bold main statement
So that people instantly know what you are trying to get across


Overall our project met/do not meet this criteria because...

Parliament

Parliament

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

  • The prime minister John Key sits in the fourth seat to the right .
  • When you are addressing the speaker in the chamber you have to call him Mr speaker.
  • There are 121 seats in the chamber at parliament including the speakers chair.
