Our Amazing Performance

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about cultural stories and the big question was;
What is the significance in the 21st Century of our Cultural stories?

First we brainstormed what culture is and came up with lots of ideas. Culture is where you are from,
stories, celebrations, religions and Traditions.
Then we thought about our own culture and talked to our parents about our traditions and heritage.
I wrote a post about my family and things we like to do.
In Literacy we read and discussed myths and legends from around the world then we concentrated on
Maori legends.
I read Maui and the sun and Maui and the great fish.
 I have written my own legend called Maui and the feathers
.
We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains. Some students wrote the script,
some students took on the job of making all the artwork,
some worked hard on organising the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance
and drama.

Here are some photos:

Reflection:
For our production I contributed by Dancing.

I think the show might impact on others by watching my dances.

What I learned about working with others was It is fun working with other people.

Have you ever had a performance like this?

My Amazing Swimming Journey

Hi guys, welcome back to my blog today I will be talking to you about swimming. For the past two weeks we have been doing swimming lessons for the first week we were doing freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke in the second week we learned about water safety. On Wednesday we got put in life jackets and the instructors told us to get in the water and make a circle. We got in the circle to get warm so we didn't get hypothermia. On Thursday we went on a boat and the boat had a hole in it so we all had to get on the sides of the boat and jump off. I learned how to keep safe in the ocean and how to survive if the the boat had a hole in it. Swimming was so fun.

Here are some pictures of us.



I hope you enjoyed reading about my swimming journey.
Have you had your swimming lessons yet?
