Maths Learning Story. Purpose: To accurately and precisely measure angles using  a protractor. In the past few weeks we have been learning how to use a protractor to measure the angle of the dabs we have been given. I was good at identifying the angle being measured. I also was good at making sure that the line with 0 and 180 along a baseline for eg I know that this is 90 degrees because of the the square symbol in the corner or  I know that 180 degrees has the circle in the corner such as the other degrees except the 90 degrees

Poem Learning Story. Purpose: To invoke a feeling and make the reader visualise that they are there. We have been learning how to write our own poems by using figurative language and also using all the senses. We were also learning to use personification to describe the clouds personality. We have been watching videos and listening to others to get some of their prior knowledge. In my poem I used Onomatopoeia such as Bang!. Here is one of my poems. Here is an example to my poem. My cloud poem. Battle of war beginning Soldiers defeating each other with guns Lightning coming out there guns as they fire “bang!” “boom!” goes the guns Fighting to death as they go.

Art Learning Story. Purpose: How do we create bold images that represent our ancestor and what they are remembered for?. In the past few weeks we have been learning how to create bold images and what our ancestors are remembered for. I was good at using cultural colours to represent my  ancestor. I used cultural colours to show that my ancestor was Samoan. I showed that my ancestor was a chief by using some pea's on the legs and arms. Another image I used to show that my ancestor was a chief by using the fue and the to’oto’o. My next steps is to be careful to choose contrasting colours to make it stand out. Next time I will try to not rush my art.
