Song maker

my song

For this task I made a song using Chrome Music Lab. We had 20 activities and we had to do 2 for our blogs for us to finish, They were very fun activities to do.  The way I created this song is by placing musical tiles and making it into a song. My head has chosen me to make a song that has a beautiful flute it.

Impact of Volcanoes\

LI: To discuss the impact of volcanoes on the environment and human communities.

Today me and my  group made a DLO telling us everything about Whakaari White Island. Whakaari is a volcano that erupted in 2019. Before Whakaari erupted people were not allowed to visit the island. People also said that there was a helicopter buried in the thick ash and there was 90 people killed during the eruption because of the toxic gas the volcano was spitting out

Volcano poem

 

LI: To write a multi verse cinquain poem that describes the journey of a sleeping maunga that erupts

We have been exploring cinquain poems. A conquain poem. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun. 

We used our poem to show our understanding of volcanoes.

Something I found interesting about this was that Rangitoto had erupted 600 hundred years ago

Pourquoi story – why Maungerei sleeps

 


For this task I created a Pourquoi story to tell us why does Maungerei sleeps. This is my story why Maungerei sleeps.

Back, far back, in the mists of time when the world was very young there was a mountain named  Maungarei, . She was beautiful to look at but known by all for her really bad temper. She woke up. As she was angry at the dinosaurs when they were dancing. Then the ground started  shaking, Maungarei had!! “Erupted, said nefai”. Her anger was seen by all, a violent explosion with an ash cloud shaped like a mushroom. As soon as Maungarei was still mad, all the other Mountains and dinosaurs were so scared that they needed to take cover .

 

After hours had passed, Maungarei had a wish from one of the gods that she had used it on. To come herself down as she was. Tired of  what she caused. She slowly fell asleep and  other volcanoes were coming closer but not too close so Maungarei didn’t wake up and get’s mad again. 

 

Over time Moungari is resting the land that used  to be pretty. But after the eruptions it is just like lava everywhere. The lava is still cooling down but as Moungari still has ashes coming out they forgive her apologies and let her sleep in peace.

 

Mounragi rage is at the bottom of her heart. People around her are at peace but her eyes remain closed but we should all remember her heart still beats and her apologies that she said to them.

 

Years have passed and Maungarei is surrounded by houses. After all this she is still sleeping. But you might not know that she can erupt again.

 

Volcano Animation

Last week Wednesday LS2 created a volcano animation.We had to get into pairs of group of 2 or group of 4 for this task to proceed. We used our smart tracing skills to make an animation of how a volcano erupts, we used the tracing lines polyline and curve line.

I enjoyed this task because we used Google slides to show an animation,I found this task interesting because we used a unique way to show how a volcano erupts.
