Seaweed

Today, I was with Elmera. I made doodles, and then I swapped with her. Elmera saw seaweed or kelp in mine. On the first line I wrote one word, then the second I wrote two words up till five words and then back to one. I liked doing this.

Making a Connection

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today we explored what were quality blog comments. We looked to see if they had a greeting, and something positive  about what the author has shared. We also checked to see if they had thoughtful and helpful comments too. We had to move and rotate the labels too.

My Whanau

 

This term in RE we are talking about how special our families are. We talked about a New Zealand artist called Reuben Paterson. He went to a beach with black sand once and he likes to put glitter on his pictures because it reminds him of the sparkling sand.

I can show my family using koru patterns. I made me, my two sisters, and my mom, my dad,and my brother. I also added my granny and my papa. I used wax crayons  and then I dyed mine red. It looks really good.

St Mary’s School

Today, I learnt how to use Google Maps to find my buddy school and learnt how resize my canvas on Google draw. I learnt that St Mary’s school is close to a River. My tip is to move your fingers slowly across the touch pad when zooming in or out.

Weaving a Matariki kite

Happy Matariki everyone and we had fun making a kite for Matariki. You guys are wondering how me and my classmates made it. How we made it is we got a brown paper bag and we got scissors. We had to cut the brown paper to make two flat shapes. We designed the first brown paper with special patterns. Then we painted the other brown paper and I wanted to do mine orange. My classmates chose their own colours. Then we waited for all the paint to dry.

Today we started to weave our kites and Mrs Agnew had to start me off and then I could go under and over with the strips.

My kite is very pretty and I like it.Finally braided three  colours of twine plaited. To make the tail. Then Mrs Yumul glued a feather and some fern  branches onto the bottom. I‘m sooo proud of my kite.

My matariki star

Yesterday I created a Matariki star using diamond shapes that I had to duplicate. Then I learned how to rotate and nudge the shapes together. I grouped the shapes together and then I enjoyed using the colour gradient to add different colours.

This is my star:
