Its term two and the first week of school! My class and I have been making collages, for those who don’t know what

a collage is a collage it when you put lots of different objects in one picture. My inspiration was from a artist called

Henri Matisse, in his story he tells us that he was great at painting but once he got older he moved on to cutting with

scissors and making colourful art work.

This is mine and it has a wolf cut out in black paper. I really like my collage what about you ? for next time what do you

think I need to work on and improve on in my art ?

This week and last week in term one have been learning about Waitangi day. Me and my friends

Zara and Despina made a quiz for Waitangi day. It was tricky to do all the pictures and questions

and make it work out, at the end my favourite bit was when I fished and it filled me up with joy

to see it work really well. Once I finished my Waitangi day quiz I did a poster about my special place

in New Zealand here it is.What was your favourite bit of  the quiz and where is you special place ? 

On the last week of school in 2023 my teacher decided to have a dodge ball tournament  at my school. My class

was split up into teams of people who play with the same accuracy as you, how I found out what team I am in we

did some task like for example  how long does it take  to get the ball and take it back to the cone.  My team  name

is the A team. Everyone had to do design their own uniform on a piece of paper or on a Chromebook, this is what

mine looks like .My teams colours we tried to stick with black and red.

 

What do you think of the T-shirt and what would your team name be and how would you design you uniform ?

 

Last week we had a first aid training, after the session we had to buddy up and 
make a post about it. My buddy was Despina and we made a slideshow about what we 
learnt.

Today I found out about a cool app called craiyon and you can click on the link if you

want to to check it out, I registered for the manaiakalani summer learning journey and you

can do different tasks and get more points for at the end of the year. The more points you

get the more chances of you to get a prize. The first task I got was to create my own super hero

on craiyon and her power is when she gets made she turns into a fire dragon but when she is to

calm she goes into a water dragon. She gets her power from her dad who she never had meet .

Did you go on to that app and if you did how was it ?

Also if you had to make a story about your own superhero what would your superpowers be?

What will your name be and what would be your origin ( a origin is when you explain why he

or she decided to be a superhero or a villain in the beginning )  I would love to hear your comments.

 

At new Brighton  catholic school we did a art show.

All the classes had to work on lots of art for weeks

based on resilience. Our teachers had to make all the

class rooms look like a gallery .It was amazing my

favourite part was when the parents came in and

could scan the bar codes and when they did it had us

talking about what resilience is and what techniques

we used for our art . also we were learning about Don

Binney and how he was a great artist. Here is some of

his art he did. If you are interested you can click on

his name under this to find out more

Don Binney 

For the last week of term three on Tuesday my teacher said for my class reward we ca go do 

mini golf at Alice and the putter land. I think it was really fun and creative . there was also

a glow in the dark area and you mini golf balls would glow really bright.  I really recommend 

going there in the holidays there is also a chart on the wall so if you are really competitive

you can show of your skills and get the least amount of hits and your name will go on the chart.

if you have been there what did you think of the place and what was your favourite part I have some

pictures I can show you.

 

In term three my maths group were learning about long division . 

I could chose anything I worked on this year for maths and I chose 

long division . I made a cool poster . here it is .

if you know your remainders please click on the word remainder
that has a line underneath if not it will be a bit confusing .
did you get my poster ? if not it took me awhile too so that's 
okay .

 

In my class at NBC we had a graph and we had to fill in with
emotions it with some pictures and say what we are explaining 
.I think the easiest emotion to do is happy and the hardest
would be confused . is you had to take pictures of yourself 
how would you feel and what do you think would be the hardest?

For this Duffy week we had a special person come to our school          
. Her name is Carla , she owns a salon. She was there talking   
about her amazing life and what made her inspired to be a hair
dresser. She brought in a dolly called Rebecca and people use 
her to practice on her . Carla said sometimes on the dolly they
can put fake plastic hair on the doll or real hair . Every time 
someone cuts the hair it gets shorter and shorter but when it gets 
to short they shave it all of and draw on the head and it is 
like guide lines telling you where to go . Carla is a nice , kind,
and cool person she has lots of personalty and I love how much 
happiness she shows .

Do you know her and have you been to her salon and if you
have been what was it like .
