Samoan learning update

 Talofa bloggers,

Since the start of the year, we have been learning Samoan.  This is my virtual classroom where I have put all my learning for you to also learn from.  If you hover over items in my classroom, a hyperlink will pop up for you to click on.

In my classroom you will learn about:

• Samoa as a country

• Link to a traditional dance video

• Basic greetings

• The alphabet

• How to count 1-10 

• Information about Siapo - how it is created, some examples

• An animation showing a simple conversation in Samoan

I hope you enjoy my classroom and I would really like to know what you enjoyed the most.

Space/ Rocket Launching Animation

Hey guys,

Since we have started our rocket experiments, we decided to make our own animations basing on our launch experiences from last week, this bases on the drift, weight, and launch to create a successful rocket go into space. If you want to look at this a bit deeper, you can look at Nasa's Apollo missions on their site. please tell me what I can improve on. 

My amazing samoan animation

 Hey guys,

We have been picking up our learning of Samoan again starting with basic greetings, then we were made to make an animation of people having a conversation using the correct terms we saw in the video. I really started to enjoy Samoan after this lesson. The basic greetings you will see in this animation are "how are you?" "well, thank you" " Have a good day" "hello" "goodbye", these are the majority of them but I challenge you to guess what the other ones are, I need some feedback in the comments.

Parachute Challenge

 Hey Bloggers, 

Recently we have been learning about how a parachute works (on top of our science and rocket inquiry) and we were tasked to create a parachute that could hold to mechanic nuts for our 'people'. I wasn't here for the majority of the task because I was off doing other things for the school so I really loved how it came out, we, of course, tested it and I don't think we got the best time of 2.5 seconds. How do you think we did?
