Rangoli Patterns

Kia Ora, Hello, Bonjour! How has your day been? Hope it has been good.

In class, we are going to be doing the Christmas concert/dance about Diwali (Said like Divali). Miss Farr (our teacher) decided that we could learn about Diwali. I have enjoyed this so far because I am learning lots and lots of stuff about Diwali. I have seen a rangoli on TV before but I never knew what it was called and the meaning of it. We had to draw and create a rangoli pattern in our maths books, then on google drawing after that, on a drawing site. I enjoyed making this because it was so much fun thinking of and drawing rangolis. The drawing site/game was probably the most fun because there is a drawing tool that can make it easy for it to be the same shape everywhere, it is called the mirror brush. This is was difficult because it was hard to get it symmetrical in my maths book but with the squares, it was a little bit easier.

Diwali vs Matariki

Kia Ora, Hello, Bonjour. How has your day been? Hope it has been amazing!

Recently in class, we have been researching about Diwali (said like Divali). This is another activity, compare and contrast. One side is where we put all of the information about Diwali, on the other side is where all the information about Matariki is and in the middle is where we put the information that is the same on both celebrations. I got the information from the links at the bottom of this blog post. This was enjoyable because it was very easy for me to learn more stuff about Diwali and Matariki. This was difficult because it was kind of hard to find more facts about Matariki, there was a lot about Diwali.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Diwali brainstorm

 

Kia Ora, hello, bonjour.

Lately in class, we have been researching about Diwali (it is said like Divali) because we are going to do the Christmas concert about Diwali. This is a brainstorm about what we know about Diwali so far. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to put all my ideas about Diwali on my Chromebook. I am excited to look back at this after learning more about Diwali and find out all of the stuff I have learned. This was difficult because I put too much of the text boxes so I had to get rid of some. I did this activity a few days ago but I keep on forgetting to post it on my blog.
I hope you enjoyed :)
