3-D nets

Last week Rm 13 made a city out of 3-D shapes. It was really fun, we learnt we had to be good at certain things to make it work. And is wasn't all fun all fun and games, it was actually quite hard. We will show you how we made them.

First choose a shape, For instance, why don't we make a pyramid. First get a piece of paper and find the exact middle of the paper and put a small dot. Then draw a 6 by 6 square (making sure the dot stays in the middle) Next draw a 6cm triangle on each edge of the square. Finally you can draw the tabs on the opposite of each triangle. Now you can glue or cellotape the tabs to the shape.

Well, that's how you make a pyramid.
On our journey we learnt the names of shapes, vertices's, edges and faces. At home you could even make your own. We learnt we had to good at measuring.

Nets and 3-D shapes

last week room 13 made a city out of 3-D shapes it was really fun making it .We all made a house or a building Nick made some mini stand up people .

At the start of the term most of us could not make a 3-D shape we had to learn to measure the parts of the shape and we had to draw them out and put tabs on the shapes . Most of us put on too much cellotape.

The legend of Taiaroa's head

Long long ago above the clouds of Aotearoa lived Maui and the gods, and among them was Taiaroa Porima Flavell, tamaiti or son of Tane Mahuta and god of the land. Taina Te Ngahue taukine or sister of Mauri, goddess of wisdom and Manawa Rakate, whaea or mother of Maui and goddess of love.

One day Taiaroa and Taina got into a fight about who was toughest. (of course Taiaroa was) Taina clutched Manawa's taiaha as Taiaroa clutched his and they battled for three days and three nights until finally Taiaroa knocked down Taina and claimed his victory.

Manawa was outraged at what Taiaroa had done and knocked him out of the clouds with her taiaha and hurdled down after him. She smashed him down and made a harbour, then she ripped off his head, planted it next to him and let him sink down to the depths of the ocean.

So now if you glimpse over at Taiaroa's head you will know how and why Taiaroa Porima Flavell's head was planted there. It is there to remind people not to be big headed.

THE LEGEND OF THE ISLAND BROTHERS

One day a long time ago Kiwa the friendly whale set of to see Tangaroa the sea god. On the way, he spotted the Taniwha arguing with the keeper of the island. They were two island brothers came together as one. ZOOM!!! Kiwa raced to Tangaroa as fast as a cheetah on land running on land to Tangaroa to report what happened. Mean while Tamure was fishing not far behind the island he was catching the Taniwha's favourite fish father blue cods.

The Taniwha raced towards Tamure for the fish until the island gets in his way."You can not eat the villagers food, because you can not find any yourself. " said the island keeper wisely ," yes I can " replied the Taniwha rudely.He charged at the island and BOOM!!! "If you don't let me past , I will break you apart!" threatened the Taniwha. The island chose not to move, and the Taniwha had flames dancing in his eyes so he charged then aims for the top. SMASH!!!

Years later, people now see the islands as Green and White off the St Kilda, Seconds beach and St Clair Coast.
