Te Ahu a Turanga Noho Marae

Description:
In week 7, we had an overnight stay at the local Marae in Woodville.  We were immersed in Maori culture and participated in a range of activities.  We set two goals to focus on during our stay.

Image: 




We had to make a book mark about the Marae and what we did.
I did mine about the Marae and the face of the Marae and the 
gorge walk the we went on. 























Big Idea:  
1.  Did you achieve your goals?  How do you know? I think I achieve my goal because made 2 new friends. 

2.  What are you most proud of from the marae stay and why? Achieving the stilts because I have never done them before. 

3.  What challenged you the most and why?

Transformation

Description:  
We have been learning about transformation.  We have specifically learnt that...

  • translation is when an object slides in any direction;
  • rotation is when an object is turned around a central point;
  • reflection is when an object is flipped and has a line of symmetry.

Our challenge was to design a car badge that contained at least one of these aspects of transformation.

Big Idea:










Feedback/Feedfoward:
I like how you have made sure the owls are showing reflection but next time you should make the s's  show reflecton. but otherwise it's awesome - Aria

Evaluation
I think I could improve on adding more detail in my coloring. Next time I will add something like rotation-Aria
