Olympics art work

This is my Olympic art work.  We had to tessellate a triangle that was 3.4 cm  and a hexagon out of it.  We used a triangle into a hexagon by going over it on each side until it's in a shape.A

The three values are respect, friendship and excellence.   We used the internet to search our favorite athlete.  We cut out people's heads from the Olympics and we cut out our heads to use for our Olympic artwork.  After cutting our heads and other peoples we used a glue stick and stuck it on our artwork.

We have written some words on the background to make it stand out more.  Some people did block letters and some people did normal writing with lines and stuff coloured in inside it.  

We had two similes and two metaphors in it.  We rote Olympic 2016 because that's the year we drawn the Olympic art.  Similes are things that has like or as for a example he is as small as a mouse running away from a human.  A metaphor is something that does n´t have like or as for a example he is a fat pig eating all the food in the shop.  

Moment In Time Week 7

Today our teacher asked us to write a ‘Moment In Time’ piece using a picture of a boy in the water.  We planned as a class to make sure we had the 5 W’s and the 6 Senses.  

Before we began our writing in small groups we discussed the importance of using descriptive writing, using similes and metaphors where appropriate, using dialogue and have done our best to make sure our punctuation is correct.  Some of us have even used ‘Show Don’t Tell’ in our writing to provide our reader with more of an experience.

Our teacher gave us 10 minutes for each paragraph and then 10 minutes for editing at the end.  We had so much fun working together!

If you have a moment, we would love you to comment on our writing.  

Boy Overboard!

“AGHHHH!” said Jack as his uncle suddenly drove straight into a wave and it went crashing down on them.  The pressure was so powerful that it knocked Jack straight off the boat and into the freezing cold water.  He was starting to drown, but luckily he knew how to swim.  He got a breath of air just in time, he could of died.   

Jack saw some sharks coming towards him like lightning.  He swam to the boat as fast as he could, his uncle never noticed that he got tipped off the boat.  “Uncle, help me please!” Jack screamed, but his uncle could not hear his screams over the crashing waves.  He went to the side of the boat and banged it as hard as he could, but his uncle could still not hear him.  Jack thought he was really going to die, and now the sharks were closer than he ever wanted.   

The sharks circled around him, which Jack did not like it, he was terrified.  One of the sharks tried to strike but Jack had dodged it.  The other sharks attacked but they were not fast enough to eat him.  Jack was to tired to dodge the attacks now, they were really going to eat him now.  But at the last second there was a school of tuna that distracted the blood thirsty sharks.  The sharks went to the school of fish then Jack said  “now I have more time to get my uncle’s attention?”, for a school of tuna is way better than a skinny little boy.

Ben:

I think I did well sharing my ideas, and did well on doing changes, and making the sentence better.

Turua:  

I think I did well on typing the moment in time and sharing my ideas to my group.

Musharraf:

I think I did well of sharing my ideas with my two buddies and making good changes.

Moment in time

After school Joe and Rick went to the park because it was a sunny day.  They went with 7 other friends to play soccer and to have fun.  When they got there saw birds and trees moving fast.  They could hear kids yelling as loud as an ape in it’s cage, parents telling their kids to come down, and kids running to the park like dogs trying to chase someone.

After a game of soccer their mum and dad were trying to look for them.  They walked  briskly to school because it was hot and they wanted to get a drink from the fountain. They walked to the teacher and the teacher said “ they’re not here so they walked to the park because it was a sunny day then they saw them.  They said to him you play like cristiano ronaldo.  

Their mum said to them you can’t skip school for 20 years i’m going to drop you off and tell the teacher that you’re here.  They said you’re like a cat running away from school that you’re never allowed to skip again said dad.  So mum said that if you want to play soccer go to school and play dad agreed.

Matariki Reflections

Matariki is a time for re reflection.  yesterday with Whaea Toni we took the time to reflect on our year and set a new goal.here is a goal i set:

We made a Matariki star. We used our algebraic thinking. We had a pattern to follow: 1,2 and down 1 up we repeated this pattern until we got the star.

Matariki celebration

Manu tukutuku

Matariki happens in June it happens in the first week.  We celebrate Matariki by doing nice things like playing with knucklebones,  doing pukana challenges and making kites.   Matariki is a special celebration.  Matariki are the  seven stars or seven sisters.   We made kites because it was a Matariki celebration and it's a māori new year.   

We made kites and this is how we made them.  We made kites out of flax, wool, toetoe, and a roller.  We measured the toetoe with a roller and it was 117 cm long.   Then we had to do a speech for miss hills to video.  We instructed Miss Hills to cut the toetoe into three groups so we can do our kite.  We started getting wool to tie up the toetoe so it can stay still. We had to go over and under for it to stick we spread the toetoe out so we can tie it.  I was holding the sides of the toetoe so Sonia can tie it up. Then we got more wool and measured it with a roller so we know where to cut it.  Then we used our fingers to criss cross and go under all the way to the top.  We had to do it three times because we had three sticks sticking out.    We had to do it three times to stick the flax on then Miss Hills cut out a triangle to stick and do our patterns on.  We used the hot glue gun to stick on the kite.  The hardest  part was when we tied it up and the easiest part was when we drew our patterns and stuck it on.   

Matariki...

This week me and my group have been learning about matariki here is a picture i drew to show my understanding.  When Matariki comes up you will see i shine brightly in the sky.  There are seven stars that you will see.  I have drawn matariki patterns and matariki stars so they know what im talking about.

whanaungatanga art

Over term 1 i have been learning about my mihi,identity,whanaungatanga,,and  manaakitanga.

Manaakitanga are the steps to whanaungatanga.

Whanaungatanga means sharing and being

friends with people and another thing like kindness.  

I used pastels to colour in my art work.  And for the big black gaps i have done some patterns so it stands out more.

As you can see my big artwork has 6 korus,a pattern i did for fun,a turtle,and my name in block letters.

The 6 korus represents my family.  The 2 big korus are my mum and dad and the 4 small korus are me my brother and my 2 sisters.

 There are turtles in samoa that's why I have drawn a turtle.

On the outside of my artwork it has patterns on it. It  has more green than other colours because i like the colour green.

Book

These two books are about staying alive in a cave.    The second book is about spiders.  The book on the left is rotten by Joseph monninger.  And the book on the right is rotten by Jack heath.  We get free books every year so we can read it at home or at school.  The book on the right is about spiders in a army.  I like scream because of the colours. The book on the left is about if your in a building and a earthquake is happening stay alive.  Go to the center of the room and and take a position underneath some thing.

Whanaungataga

Over 9 weeks 1  I  have been learning about my mihi whaanaungatanga identity and  manaakitanga.

Manaakitanga are the steps to whanaungatanga.

 whanaungatanga means a sense of belonging to a group.

 I used pastels to colour in my art work and for the big black gaps i have done some patterns so it can stand out more.

I have copied the other side of my face with a pencil because the other side was printed.   after drawing my face with a pencil I started to colour my face in with pastels.

As you can see my artwork with korus on it represents my family.   the two big korus are my mum and dad and the four small korus are me my brother and my two sisters.

A pepeha is your school, principal,teacher, room number,where you're from,you're family name, and your name.

My art work that is big has my name,six korus,a turtle,and a pattern that i did for fun
