Drama: Maui and the Fish Tableaus.

Today in drama we had to create a blog post about our Tableaus that we did about Maui and the Fish.

Tableaus are a fancy name for freeze frames. Something you need to make a Tableau good is Levels (The different height), Physicality (Body Movement), and Facial Expressions.  We did a set of Tableaus to do with Maui and the Fish. There were 3 Tableaus, one for the start, one for the middle, and one for the end.

For some reason the video of my group didn't save so I had to use another group's images. We also had to answer a few questions for each Tableau.

What works well in this tableau? The levels are very good and how they are crouched and standing up.

What would you improve/change in this tableau? I would change the physicality because there isn't a lot of body movement and everyone is sort of in the same position.

Where did your group use facial expressions, Physicality, and levels well? This group didn't use a lot of facial expressions very well everyone is just blank-faced. They used okay physicality but there isn't a lot of body positions. The levels though are very good because they aren't all in the same height.

What works well in this tableau? This tableau is very good because the facial expressions are all different and everyone is shocked.

What would you improve/change in this tableau? I wouldn't change much because it's quite well done. I would only change Reuben's physicality because he's just sitting there looking at Adrian standing up.

Where did your group use facial expressions, Physicality, and levels well? This group used facial expressions really good but the Physicality is better than the last one but still not amazing.  The levels are good too but not amazing.

What works well in this tableau? This tableau is not the best but it is okay. The levels are pretty good and the physicality is okay but there are no facial expressions anywhere.

What would you improve/change in this tableau? I would change the facial expressions because everyone is just staring at Adrian standing up.

Where did your group use facial expressions, Physicality, and levels well? This group had good levels, Okay physicality, and terrible facial expressions. This tableau isn't the best.

Thank you for reading.

Learning Story No. 2

 Today I did a Writing / Literacy learning story there might be one more but this is my Writing learning story with Mrs. Allan. Fletcher, and Whaea Raewyn.

Learning Story No.1 Maths.

 Today I did my first learning story for this term and it was about maths. We did a bunch of stuff this term even with the lockdown. I will post more learning stories maybe about 3 but I'm not sure. Here it is.

Kei te pehea koe?

Today for wananga we had to do an activity about Kei te pehea Koe? In English that translates to How are you feeling. We had to create a DLO about it and write some responses. This is my DLO. Reuben also helped with it as well. :D 

Litmus Experiment

 Hello everyone welcome back to my blog. Today in Science we did an experiment using Litmus Paper. It's a paper that can detect whether a liquid is an acid or an alkali. This is what we did.

Materials:

1. Red Litmus Paper,

2. Blue Litmus Paper,

3. Sodium Hydroxide,

4. Hydrochloric Acid.

5. Pipette,

6. 4 Test Tubes.

Steps: 

1. Rip the litmus paper in half and put half in each test tube.2

2. Add 3 drops of hydrochloric acid to the blue litmus paper in test tube 1.

3. Add 3 drops of hydrochloric acid to the red litmus paper in test tube 2.

4. Add 3 drops of Sodium Hydroxide to the blue litmus paper in test tube 3.

5. Add 3 drops of Sodium Hydroxide to the blue litmus paper in test tube 4.

Conclusion:

The experiment was amazing and I did not expect what to happen. If you want to know what happens you should try it yourself. 

Football in Level 2

 Hello Everyone welcome back to my blog!

Today in Mrs. Alpers's class we had to do a blog post on something that we have been studying or experiencing at Level 2 lockdown and the return to school. I chose to do Football because that's one of my passions that I enjoy doing.   

I've been enjoying being back at school and socializing with people instead of talking through a screen. Playing football is much more fun with more than 1 person and it's really fun at school because there is a lot of people. Football training is quite difficult now that I'm not used to it and all of the exercise. I am enjoying actually being with people at school and learning at home just isn't the same. Thank you for reading and have a good day :D.
