Goal setting 2021

 For the past few days we have been working on Goal setting 2021. On the goal setting sheet we put in who we wanted to be like from the Horouta waka story, I chose Hinehakirirangi because she is confident and she challenges herself and she is also a risk taker. That was a learning disposition goal. We also had a goal we wanted to achieve in maths called a academic goal and a social goal for in the playground or around your friends. We also had a religious education goal for during prayer time and meditaion. It took me a little longer than everyone else because on the day we started I was away. But in the end I completed it at the same time as everyone.

My holy week wreath!

 For a few weeks we were working on holy week wreaths for holy week, this one is mine. Then we made a flipgrid about the story of easter and we used our wreaths for it. To make the wreaths we got three bits of paper one of them had writing on it and the other two had pictures we had to colour in. We were aloud to cut the one with the writing on it into shapes. We used two plates one big one small. We traced the big plate on a big thick bit of paper and traced the small in the big to create a circle with a hole in it. Then we glued on the pictures that we already colored in. It took us a few weeks but in the end it was worth it! It looked amazing. When we made the flipgrid we just read of the paper that had writing on it. It started with the donkey that Jesus rode into Jerusalem. I hope like it!!  

My awsome Horouta story!

For the past few weeks we have been working on animated Horouta Waka story's. Everyone in class did one. The characters were the people who were on the Horouta waka that travled to New Zealand and crashed into the sandbar. I enjoyed animating and adding in cartoon images of things like rivers, kumara and trees. I found it difficult to get it finished in time because there were so many things to type and not enough time. Next time I would change some of my images and change some parts of the story like when they went exploring. I got 129 slides of the story and I put in backgrounds in last few slides in case you were interested in that.

I hope you like it!!

Whale art!

 For the past few months we were working on whale art.It was very difficult. We used water colours, white paint, sharpie, and fading to make it shade into each other. We also used a thin paint brush to do the white bits on its belly or whatever it is underneth it, and we used the sharpie to go underneath it and make it look more realistic. I enjoyed doing the dark to the light colours and making them blend in. I found it difficult to make the white bits very thin because my paint brush wasn't very thin it was actually a bit thicker then it was supposed to be but I couldn't find a paint brusy thiner than the one that I had. Next I would change the movements of the whale and the colour of the whale and the background. I hope you like it!  

Hotcross buns

 During holy week our class made a huge hot cross bun with Miss Hickling's bread making for the class to share. We each had a turn with putting ingredients in the bowl and bread maker and we all got to look at the bread rolling around and getting cooked in the bread maker. I enjoyed adding in the brown sugar and looking at the hot cross bun dough rolling around in the bread maker. For the collage I enjoyed chosing the background colour and fiddling with the shaps of the pictures. I found it difficult to chose just a few pictures because if I could I would use them all.
