TERM 3 STEAM
In steam we had to do a project including what New Zealand has that makes it so special like kiwis and the birds that can’t fly! We needed a group of 4 but there were not enough people so it was just me Aisha and Nathuli.We had to use some websites or games to make the special things of NZ and we did Minecraft!

Minecraft is a virtual 3d game where I can do anything u want in there like building , Parkour , Role plays and lots more!

we tried doing the world on my iPad but it didn’t work so we used Aisha’s and it worked!,before we started building we decided which building we were going to do and birds.

This was my one! It’s really cute! I was doing rangitoto and I accidentally made it too big so I had to make it work out by doing only one side hehe. We built a forest ,the sky tower, some bats ,kiwis ,kakapo ,Kōtuku and tūīs! We called and at 8 every night and added/finished things.

As you can see I took a photo of the sky tower ,rangitoto , bat cave and the birds ( tūī kakapo) including the forest too,

this is the bat cave! It’s pretty dark but you can see a bat in front of the camera!

What does kaitiakitanga mean?

Kaitiakatanga means  guardians of the earth, Kaitiakatanga represents animals, birds, insects, including fresh water fish. Kaitiakatanga is a guardian meant to take care of land water and natural sources.

Kaitiakitanga helps us survive by giving us…land, oxygen ,water and food. It helps us survive so we have to help it by keeping the planet clean.

HOW TO HELP KEEP EARTH SAFE!:

• By throwing our rubbish in the bin to keep pollution from spreading across the whole world.
• The smoke from the factories are bad for us and the earth it affects the oxygen that’s why we try not experiment
• When we burn stuff it creates smoke like on time the burning a whole bunch and it went in our car and it did not smell good it smelled toxic

 

 

We will try our best to take care of Kaitiakatanga and keep it safe from dangerous stuff

In STEAM we learned about life cycles and then we had to do a 3D lifecycle model of an insect. I chose the western black widow because their cool.Then we had to go on tinker-cad to make it

The life cycle of a western black widow is:First the mother lays the eggs then it creates an egg sack.After the spiderlings hatch and they grow into a baby spiders.The last step is that it grows into an adult spider and off it goes into the world.

A fun thing I learned was baby spider are called spiderlings!

In week 2 in STEAM we learned 5 ways that insects help our world.The first was that insects are a Important food source for bird mammals and reptile species.The second thing is grass hoppers and locust are very high in protein.The third thing is insects are really high in protein for humans.The forth thing is the insects help with the environment like dung beetles.The fifth thing is that 4th of the population of the has insects in their diets which is 2 billion people . Fun thing ,I learned that dung beetles help with plants and soil by planting the seeds deeper in the soil !

On the first week of school 3rd day yr4 Mrs pienar gave us work to do like any other school and there were these two chairs were I would sit. And then Nathuli came to sit on the other table we both had something missing I had a missing red pen and she had a missing ruler we started sharing and talking to each other on the mat and on the table.One time we were sitting together and we played yes no Maybe on the eraser and then Nathuli her lost her eraser and we found it in this girls mouth she was chewing it we could tell because it had Nathuli’s handwriting we were disgusted so we just used mine. Another day went by and we saw each other again this time Mrs piena said “we are doing a maūi puppet play and chose a buddy ” I obviously chose Nathuli and we started working we started planning out our play we had to use lots of colours we borrowed . we had not that much supply’s only sticks ,paper pencils, and more we were done it. And now every body had to show there play we showed our play 3rd and it was not that good I had to do all the speaking because Nathuli was shy our puppets were breaking i speaked so softly and mrs piena told us to speak louder we were trying to hid our faces and then finally it was over.
