Matariki

Kia Ora blogging world,

In class we have been learning about Matariki and why we celebrate it. We celebrate it because it represents the Maori new year.


Here is a video about some things of Matariki:


We also read 2 books about Matariki and made a google presentation of what we learned from the books. 

Hope you enjoyed, bye!

WALT: create a piece of art that shows examples of symmetry, reflection and rotation.

Kia Ora blogging world, 

Last week we did some awesome art related to geometry. We created a beautiful creation using one certain fold called a kite fold, (it is called a kite fold because it looks like a kite). There was one rule to making the art though, you had to have 3 geometric movements, symmetry, rotation and reflection. Symmetry is where if you cut something in half and both sided look identical. Rotation is if you have a piece, if you turn it, it will be a rotation of that other shape. Reflection is if you have a shape, it is like a mirror and there is another shape. 

Here is a screencastify of the three geometric movements:
