The Beginners Guide To Chrome Music Lab

 These two past weeks in Te Ngahere we have started Chrome Music lab. Chrome Music lab is a site where you can make music, rhythm, beats etc... When we first started we did a rhythm lesson. With rhythm we had two little monsters with different sounds to create a pattern that makes different rhythm. The blue ones were my first rhythm tune I made with Chrome Music Lab. This week we are starting to make a song. My favourite rhythm level would be the blue ones because I loved the tune that they make.  My friend Gail made Bad guy, Old town Road, Dance monkey one and two. Gail is really good at making them they sound so much like the actual song. I haven’t made a song yet but I have had a go but it didn’t turn out so good.

Constructing Castels

 This week in Te Ngahere for maths we have been constructing castles using colored cardboard and using specific measurements. Group one started constructing castles and some finished constructing their castles. We had to measure straight lines or else our castles wouldn't be able to stand up and would be on a lean and that probably  wouldn’t be the best castle. When we finished our castle we took it to one of our younger classes for them to play with our castle.   When Thea( someone in my group) and I started our castles I thought it was going to be easy but actually it was kind of difficult because when I was  measuring straight lines and using the compass my hand was shaking so it was wobbly. 

Have you ever constructed a castle before?

The Extremely Interesting Flight of Our Bottle Rocket

 For the past few weeks in Te Ngahere we have been launching and modifying our rockets that we made for the Wonder Project. Our group had bad luck with the first two flights because our wigs fell off because. Our next three launches were Ok. Our farthest flight yet was 26.6 meters because we had aerodynamic fins. Also we had  the right PSI which was 60 and our The  water levels were 350ml. Our first launch we actually almost hurt someone because Autumn!!!!(someone in my group) picked up the lever to launch the rocket too early and Dales(Wonder Project helper) face was right next to the rocket. I really enjoyed designing the rocket because I got to draw a small sign to put on the from of our rocket.

Have you ever participated in the Wonder Project?

  

The Most Creative I Am Hope Fundraiser Treasure Hunt

 The Most Creative I Am Hope Fundraiser Treasure Hunt 

A couple of weeks ago Paihia School had a treasure hunt to help fundraise for I am Hope. I am Hope helps kiwi children with mental illnesses. We were told to bring two dollars or more if you would like to do the treasure hunt. I brang five dollars and my brother brang five dollars too. What we had to look for were these gumboots that were laminated. The rules were if you find one you have to take it to the principal straight away and  if you found one on the way you were not allowed to get it. When we started the treasure hunt I was really excited, as soon as the principal said GO the younger kids went first. When the gumboots started disappearing everyone started looking in the same place. I really enjoyed doing the treasure hunt even though I didn’t get a prize.                                                    

Has your school done a treasure hunt?

Things You Need To Know About Equivalent Fractions

For the past few weeks in Te Ngahere my group for maths has been learning all about equivalent fractions. We had to identify equivalent fractions. To find an equivalent fraction you have to divide or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number. An example of an equivalent fraction is if you had  ½ it would be the same as 2/4 because if you multiply the numerator and denominator by two it equals 2/4 .  When we started these fractions I found it really easy compared to other maths because I got this a lot faster than usual.
