Parihaka Feather

 About 2 Weeks ago my class have been working on parihaka and have been learning about identifying the main point. We searched other words for peace and found words such as prosperity,peace and goodwill and then we had to put them inside of our feathers.after that we  printed them out and cut it out. We used google drawing to do our work on.I Found finding words that relate to the words we challenging.

Diwali Artwork

 Not That long ago me and my class have been learning how to create a diwali by drawing it ourself, the first thing was to get a white paper and then get a plate to trace around it next we drawed a little circle and had to use a ruler and draw lines so we could draw the flower on it, after you draw the flower rub out the lines and color the flower in whatever color you  want and then you finished it.

Portrait ArtWork

 In week 2 My class and I have been learning how to Mix colours, First we took a photo of ourself and then we printed it out, we used a sharpie to draw around our faces after that we painted the inside of our picture and  let it dry. Next we scratched the paint that got on the outside of our painting until it was gone.

when you finish that then you get a colored paper and put it behind your photo. I found mixing the colors to make my skin color Challenging.

2021 Achievements

This week my class Has been learning about our 3 things that we did this year during 2021, we had Miss Torry as our cybersmart teacher we got to use canva and make a slide show, we took a video of ourself and put it on the slide, after we wrote 2021 next to the video then we added 3 achievements that we have done in 2021 this year my one was netball, Art and Handwriting I really enjoyed using the app, next time I would take a video of me saying it clearly.

Service Poster

This term our R.E value is service. We used canva to do our poster. Our first step was to go on the app and then pick your own poster that you like and then write down what service looks like,sounds like and feels like. You could choose your own background and change your fonts and that I really enjoyed getting to know what service is and I found learning what service was Next time i will learn lots about service is when you being kind,treating others how you want to be treated and Helping the poor.

Calendar Artwork

 My whole class picked our favorite New Zealand native bird.We read and watched a video about the birds and the names of them. The First step was to trace the outline of the bird and put shapes of your choice inside of it Next we shade in the shapes the same color is your bird and we added watercolor around the daker section of the white circle the last part was to put a crape paper around the circle but we had to let it dry before you put it on I found sticking the crape paper around the watercolor challenging because it keeps sticking onto my hands.

Why I think netball is the best sport.

 

My whole school were doing a speech we thought of topic first and then we got a plan from the teacher and then we write about what we know about a topic and why people should do it after we did all that our class got to write it on our chromebooks and then printed it out and we had to practice it. 

Have you ever played netball? I firmly believe that netball is a game for everyone. 

Netball is healthy, especially for both your body and your mind. It burns calories, Improves upper body strength by working key arm muscles. 

Firstly,  I think that netball is good for your body because you get exercise while playing. Many people can play but it takes time and practice and learning how to throw and catch the ball. 

Secondly I Think that Netball is the best sport because it keeps your mind active and netball involves teamworks which helps you to learn how to work with others.

Lastly I think, Netball is hard for some but we have all been at the learning stage before. It just takes practice and time. To me netball is not that hard to play. and you can get better and better at playing.

In conclusion, I believe that netball is the best sport. Because it’s really fun and easy that's why i think you should give netball a go.

have you ever seen a flying water bottle??

What I think is going to happen is that the bottle is going to fly really high and the water's going to fall out of the bottle really fast because the bottle faces down well it goes up so then the water falls out of the bottle quick.I think that it is going to be higher than our school.

Have you ever seen a flying bottle before? well i will be explaining to you about what happened to the flying bottle in the sky.First we filled up the bottle with water just one third of water into the water bottle and then we put the bottle down and flipped the aqua pod and put it on top of the valve of the water bottle.

Secondly we attached the pump to the aqua pod and then we pumped the bottle up until we did ten pumps we wanted it to be higher than our school. After that we did it again because everyone else wanted to be higher and higher.

Lastly we put the string to the aqua pot and then we left it fo the ground to pump it up.  When pump the bottle up we pulled the string and than bottle went flying high in the sky we had to stay back at the wall because we could of got wet by it so we went 5 meters away from the bottle and then we counted down from ten to zero.

What is a aqua pod? A aqua pod is an orange and black thing and it has three legs thing on the sides and when you pull the string it goes really high and fast into the sky well water comes down out of the bottle.

My amazing dark bedroom

We had to learn about it because we thought it would be a great thing to write about.Learning about our bedroom and seeing if it is messy or clean was nice. I enjoyed doing it and I found challenging ways to think about what my room smells like.Do you have a messy room?







                                                            My dark bedroom story



The thing I like the most about my room is the darkness and having the king size bed. It fills up all the space in my room that I can't move anywhere in my room but at least I can have the biggest bed.
I have the best room but the only thing I don’t like about my room is that it is at the front of my house. It gets cold everyday. I don't like to get out of bed.

My room smells like new clothes we buy and bed sheets we put on my bed.It’s soft but it gets cold every morning but when it is night i get hot and kick off all the blankets of the bed.
My family loves staying clean. Unlike me, I make my room dirty all the time. 

Sometimes I eat in my room and just leave the dishes in my room till three days then I will take it.
My room has the worst view but at least I have a room. Sometimes I like to look outside because I have been in my room for a long time but all I can see is the cars going past my house.
That is why I think that I have the worst room in my house.

The amazing island writing

I had fun thinking about the Island and what would happen if I was there.Have you ever been to a nice fresh Island before?

                             My feature Island

 I breathe in the smell of warm salty water spreading around in my mouth.

I catch sight of a giant bush covered mountain reaching for the sky.

I could hear birds tweeting loudly in the trees.I feel the soft sand and the Hard rocks on the floor. The rocks were so hard to walk on and sharp that I kept jumping every time I got poked by the rocks.

I could hear the  Trees swagging,Crunchy leaves and coconuts falling off the tree like someone chopping off the tree.I could see a boat with someone in it about to fall because it was going fast.

I could taste the saltiness from the ocean and I could taste the soft sand in my mouth well i was swimming around in the ocean with my family and friends.I could smell the refreshing cooking that my family was making.
