Purpose: Thank you note.

Dear jax

Thank you for coming to our school and performing opera.

My most favorite part was when you were talking singing.  I really liked it when Nemo was laughing.  The singers were cool and funny.  I really liked it when the famous guy came out in a armour,

I would like to see you dance, talk and sing again.

Yours sincerely

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.

How to weave a box.

2. Rule 10 strips of paper with your pencil 1cm wide and 30 cm long
   
3. Cut out  10 strips.
   
4. Place 5 strips  of paper on the mat or on your table next to each other about 2cm
   width apart.
   
5. Grab a strip and weave it over and under on the mat.
   
6. When you are finished step 6 push the strips in together so it meets up and makes a square.
   
7. After step 7 use a sellotape to tape down your square.
   .
8. Fold your strips to rule a line on the edge of the square.
   
9. After you have lined on the edge of your square cut on the lines to make it shorter.
