Unit 4: Creating movement to a piece of music
Students used their knowledge of the elements of music from their last unit and applied them to movement. They chose a song and style of dance that they liked and tried to show a variety of movements that fit the music.
Student Led Conference
My favourite place in the playground is hall way at ground floor near EY1 and EY2 building because it is quiet and I can eat my snack and play Pokemon.
The people I like to spending time with are Sorriaj and Stephen because they are my friends since grade 1 and Sorriaj was my friend since EY1
The most fun I've ever had at recess was playing Pokemon. I have many friends. My friends and I mostly play in the gym.
We play a lot of tag games like hide and seek tag. I often play with Vatanak, Alex and Xander. Our most epic game is Vampier.
Student explored the elements of music, such as tempo, pitch, dynamics and duration, to create a piece of music that would allow the audience to have an idea, feeling or story. They started to work on this individually and later some students chose to work collaboratively. Here is their final composition.
G2 Art-Unit 2- Nature and Architecture
We observed shapes in architecture and shapes in nature. We investigated the functions (purposes) of nature and architecture. We used our imaginations and feedback from friends or family to draw and build architecture inspired by nature. Here is my artwork:
G2 Art- Unit 3- Finding and Making Meaning in Abstract Art
We found shapes, colors and lines in abstract artworks. We discussed our experiences and emotions connected to the colors, lines and shapes. We used this to guess the meaning of abstract artworks. We sorted abstract artworks to explore how some are “a little abstract, very abstract or not abstract”. We also made abstract artworks about ourselves for others to interpret.
Rube Goldberg
Question Prompts for Parents:
Who was Rube Goldberg and what is a Rube Goldberg Machine?
What was the objective or goal of your machine?
Was it successful? Why or why not?
Can you explain the simple machines you used to make it?
'Don't Crack The Egg Challenge'
Title: American Ninja Warrior Egg Challenge
Introduction:
Task: We have to take the egg to the bottom of the floor from a chair without breaking the egg.
Need:
- 3 papers
- 1 meter ruler
- 1 chair
- Tape
- 5 paper towels
Step:
- First I folded the paper to make a ramp.
- Next I put the tape to stuck the tunnel to the ruler.
- After, I checked if it is strong enough.
- Then it made my egg fall off.
- Finally I fix it, then I tested it and it was worked.
Evaluation: I learn about to be creative and don’t break things like your favourite statue.
In writing we are learning to write a procedure. In this example we completed a task related to our unit of inquiry (How the World Works - Simple Machines). We then wrote a procedure demonstrating what we did.
Playground Reflection
Unit: How the World Works - Simple Machines
Here is my drawing of the playground. I made a green screen and explained in my own words about the simple machines I saw.
Teacher Comment: You identified the following simple machines correctly; inclined plane, lever, pulley. You also started to explain how these were used and what function they served. Great job Ngy Meng!
Summative Assessment - Clues From The Past
Form:
It is an old statue of a very powerful god called Shiva.It is carved from sandstone.
It is taller than us. Also his hands are cut or broken...I wonder how his hands got broken?
Function:
I think the statue was made to show Shiva and remind people that he was a powerful God. He was known as the destroyer of the World. He has a third eye on his forehead and people believe that if his third eye opens that the world will be destroyed.I think people would have prayed to the statue or had it in special places like temples where people pray.
Shiva is a Hindu God, so maybe the statue was made for one of the kings who believed in Hinduism.
How does it help me understand Cambodia?
This helps me understand that many people in Cambodia have different gods and religions. I think Cambodia now has more religions than in the past, and I think in the future there will be even more religions here because there are a lot of people here from different countries. Hinduism was important when the statue was made because Hinduism was one of the religions in Cambodia since before 600.
Angkor Wat is the largest Hindu temple in the world, but it was later changed to a Buddhist temple. This shows that religion has changed over time in Cambodia.Music - My Song
Here is the link to the music blog where you will find a recording of me singing the song I created in music.
How We Express Ourselves
Artist Statement -Ngy Meng
“Art is something that makes you happy and shows how you feel. You should keep the art you make. I chose to make puppets because I like to perform and make shows. I was inspired by the Sovanna Phum puppet group that came to school. My puppets are Minions because they are funny and I thought they would make a funny show. My puppet show will be called ‘Dispicable Story”.
My Favourite Book
Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness
" I chose this book because it had some of our unit of inquiry words in it, so I thought it would be good. I like the pictures too. "
