My Christmas Card

Traditional Maori Musical Instruments

We are learning to discover Maori musical instruments. I know that I have learnt this lesson when I can answer questions about the Maori instrument Putorino and make a Venn diagram of the Putorino and a different instrument. This is my Maori Musical instruments.

1. Why is the sound of the putorino said to be inspired by the case moth?The case moth is inspired by the Te Kokiri Atane the male voice and Te Tewaiotehine the female voice.  Do you think this is a true story? This story is true. Why do you think that? I think that the story is true because of all the different and unique instruments and about how Shane James had told us about the female and the male voice.   

2. Describe the sounds the putorino can make and how they are produced. The putorino is produced when the male voice is when you put your mouth in and blow, it sounds like  the trumpeting note used to summon or signal something happening. The female voice is when you put half of your  mouth and blow. What do the different sounds represent? The sounds represent the female and the male voice. Use the 'Comparisons' response template to compare the sounds of the putorino with another wind instrument, such as the flute or trumpet.

3. Shane says many putorino have lain dormant in museums for many years, until recently. What does he mean by this? Shane means that the putorino has been laid asleep in museums and that some of their sounds have been recovered and also that they are important to carvers.  Why are there no records of how putorino were made and used? There are no records because they did not have technology like cell phones or recorders or cameras, this would mean that the Maori people used to write things down and people like us now don’t really know about how they used to .

4. There has been a renewed interest in making and playing traditional Māori instruments. Why do you think people have taken a greater interest in recent years? They have taken greater interest because the putorino is a really unique and inspiring to other people like carvers when they are wanting to make other instruments they use the putorino as like an example for other Maori instruments.  Where can they learn more? They can find more by going to museums and looking at traditional and unique and ancient Maori instruments or they can just ask their parents or grandparents, ancestors about the putorino.

5. Most cultures have used musical instruments for centuries. Find out more about taonga puoro, or the traditional instruments of a different culture. The instrument that I chose was from the country Ireland, the harp.

Fact 1: The harp represents a huge sound box carved from a solid block of wood a heavy, curved neck and a deeply in curved fore pillar

Fact 2: The harp was made to bear great tension from the heavy brass strings.

Fact 3:  The Trinity college harp and the Queen Mary’s Harp are the oldest surviving Celtic harps and both date from the 15th or 16th centuries and illustrate the similarity between the Irish and Scottish harps

Fact 4: Harp comes from the word meaning to pluck. Ireland was famous throughout  Europe because of their music playing.

Fact 5: During the 1890's and early 19000’s, some small harps were made in Ireland but they only unsure resembled the ancient Irish harp with the big glorious sound.

Facebook For Children Under 13

We are learning to persuade people if we should or should not have Facebook. I know that I have learnt this lesson when I can write a persuasive text about why children under 13 should not have Facebook. Here is my persuasive text of why children under 13 should not have Facebook.

I truly, fiercely, enormously believe that having Facebook is not that very good for children under 13. Having Facebook is bad, having Facebook is awful, having Facebook is fearful.

People could bully you on Facebook. If you just logged on Facebook and you see a lot of people from school saying “ Go kill yourself you look too ugly". You might go and commit suicide. Do you want people to say that on your wall about how ugly you are? They can. Did you know that Facebook members have harassed other Facebook members on Facebook, bullying victims are 2 to 9 times more likely to consider committing suicide. Having Facebook is bad, having Facebook is terrible, having Facebook is awful.

People can see all the private stuff you don’t want them to see. If people knew what school you come from then they will try and come and search for you. Would you want people to hunt you down? Facebook is the worst website for children. Children could run away just because they could get hunted down. Did you know that girls are about twice as likely as boys to be victims and perpetrators of cyber bullying, also only 1 in 10 of victims will inform a parent, or a trusted adult of their abuse, 68% of students agree that cyber bullying is a serious problem. I don’t like Facebook, I don’t want Facebook, I wish Facebook didn't exist.

People who are important to you can block you. If you needed to contact someone urgently and you search for their name you might find out that they blocked you for no reason. Do you want people to block you for no reason? They can. Did you know 81% of young people think bullying online is easier to get away with than bullying in person, also about 75% have visited a website bashing another student, another fact is that Nearly 43% of kids have been bullied online, Also 70% of students have report seeing frequent bullying online,    Blocking people is the worst thing. Blocking makes us bad, blocking makes us sad, blocking makes us mad.

This is why I believe that having Facebook is a bad idea. If you do have Facebook people could see private stuff, block you, and they could even be cyber bullying on your page. Do you want that to happen?  Never have Facebook, don’t have Facebook, stop having Facebook

Fletcher's Family Food Factory

Letter Received from Fletcher's Family Food Factory

WALT: Persuade people to build/ not build the factory on our courts. I know I have learnt this lesson when I have my structure such as Thesis, 3 Main reasons with examples to back my reasons up, and my conclusion to end my argument. Here is my persuasive text to Fletcher's Family Food Factory: 

I believe that we should not build a factory in this school. Would you want them to take half of your school? Building a factory is bad, building  factory is uncool, building a factory makes us sad.

There will be no courts for the big kids to have basketball training and also for the kids to have to fun. Would you want the big and little kids to be bored every single day? This is the worst thing that could happen to our school. The children will not be able to play their games on the court because its gone and if we don't get any fitness we are not treating the body that God gave, because God created us to be fit and healthy. We have to respect the body of God.

If we have a factory there will be a fire. There will be a horrible fire caused by the factory. If the workers leave something hot on the whole night long, there will be no school. It gets worse Rooms 5, 7 and 8's chrome books will be gone forever. Would you want that to happen? Fires are awful, fires are dangerous, fires are fearful.

The Bishop of our school will be furious because they are taking half of his land away. He will go to the council and argue with the council about them taking away his land away. Would you want the Bishop to complain? He will complain about his land being taken. He will be distracted by the noise when he is reading something so he could teach other people about it. The Bishop will be sad, the bishop will be fierce, the Bishop will be worries

I believe that this is why we should not build a factory. If they build the factory there will be no courts for people to have fun on them. There will also be a serious fire, would you want that to happen? There will also be an argument with the Bishop and the council.

The Germination of a plant

We are learning about Germination.The word germination means the process or the beginning of a plant.The lifespan of a plant starts with a seed coat that breaks into a radicle(first root) and that radicle goes down to find food and water.Then the first shoot known as the plumule goes up to get the sunlights warmth/light.Then leaves and roots start to grow.
