Matariki Celebration - Phases of the Moon

WALT: accurately identify and organise the phases of the moon.

For this activity I had to read the text and then slide the labels and pictures.  I learnt about the 8 phases of the moon and there names. I was able to easily do this activity without help.

Next time I could try to research the phases of the moon in my spare time and then look up into the sky to see the moon and then tell my dad what phase of the moon is in the sky.

Venn Diagram - Jess and Leslie

Walt: Compare and contrast the characteristics of Leslie and Jess

I was able to compare Leslie and Jess with their characteristics,character traits, personalty and all their things in common.

Next time I will try to add more ideas by listening to the story and trying to write down as much as I can.

Labour Day

WALT: understand passing on messages is important so we understand why we celebrate.

This is our Labour Day slide show. For this slide show we had to research the history of Labour day.  I had no idea why we celebrated Labour day but now I understand. I  had lots of fun doing this activity but it was a bit hard to type in facts about Labour Day and not repeat them. I think it is important to celebrate and pass on messages because if we don't we might not celebrate Labour Day.
