Discovering the ‘Unit of Repeat’

Bula Vinaka! 🇫🇯✨

In maths, we learned all about the ‘Unit of Repeat’—the specific combination of shapes or lines that repeats over and over again to create a complete pattern.

Here is how we put our learning into action:

  1. Explore: We looked closely at Fijian masi patterns and identified the geometric shapes hiding inside them.
  2. Design: Using whiteboard markers and mini whiteboards, we selected our own “unit of repeat” (for example: triangle, diamond, stripe).
  3. Repeat: Working carefully, we repeated our unit to build our masi inspired designs.

Using whiteboards allowed us to experiment freely, test out different repeating sequences, and make adjustments as we refined our mathematical patterns!

Vinaka vakalevu to our wonderful students for their focus, creativity, and mathematical thinking this week! 🇫🇯✨

The Beat Station

Today we had the beat station in our class! We had so much fun. Each group chose a band name by picking an animal and then a colour. It was interesting to watch the different groups problem solve when they didn’t agree. Some used paper scissors rock and others voted.

 

We then got into the music making. There were 4 percussion instruments that students swapped throughout the song. How do we sound?

In the afternoon we designed our band posters on canva! Students had fun picking a background, choosing a font/colour and then selecting the graphics and placement. We are so excited for the beat station to come back to our class!

Speak No Maori – Video Response

HELLO!

“In the video, it was noticed that Pākeha we’re abusive foes to the Māori and often didn’t care about their actions, during the New Zealand Land Wars the Māori had sadly lost to the British Empire but they still continued their struggles, now fast-forward to the 1900s, the British started getting aggressive- as in if you spoke Māori, or acted like it you would be caned by a teacher in your own school, and this wasn’t just schools, walking down the street and a lawman sees you doing that would result in the rough beating of you. The Māori struggled to keep up with their efforts to revive the language, culture, and identity, but they still got through, they had made a petition and marched to Wellington, the government building and called the parly members out. Even though they marched all that way they still kept with their traditions and protocol. The Parliament of New Zealand had began to assist with Māori revitalisation. Now, we live in a neutral New Zealand, some people don’t like the Māori some are well okay with it.

I feel connected to every story of British colonisation, segregation, or racism. There are many associations and organisations now that help with people that used to be of British colonised land, there is many stories like this, such as the apartheid era of South Africa. It’s also very sad that apartheid and this sort of racism to Māori people now.

I wonder how certain British people would feel if they got colonised by each nation they colonised.”

Note: It’s  not about blaming a side.

Zedd’s Taniwha Design and Information

This is my Taniwha Design, It is quite inaccurate because of How it looks like. Taniwha is about is a Large supernatural creature that lives in a deep water, deep caves, or places with dangerous things. For My Taniwha i choose tuhirangi, Tuhirangi is a Legendary guardian (who is a water spirit or creature) from Maori tradition. It could do things like protecting the ocean and the people, Remove the rubbish in the ocean, and Its Message of it was To protect it from Harmful things that could ruin or Make the ocean hazardous.

Whaea Sharlene principal farewell ☹

On Friday last week 18th of September it was our schools principal farewell she is moving away to go to a different school.

Before she left she had asked for the whole school to perform one last time Kapa Haka.

Everyone tried hard for the farewell it was probably the best performance and the strongest one ever the school had done. It was at least 35 minutes before it stopped next, we had to listen to about 12 speeches that were all 5 minutes long. (Except for the principals, that one was 15 min long).

we sat for what felt like 2 and a half hours we stood up finally and got some ice blocks from the PTA.

For the 1st time i had seen the whole school cry and wail now people are very sad.
