Geometry shapes

Aloha bloggers from around the world,

I am here sharing with you an FANTASTIC! piece of art that we have been doing this week. In maths we have been building models which were tents. We had to think of different ways on how to build the roof and side of the of the tent. We all worked independently in seperate classrooms so that we could finish the art before lunch. Te Waka Ako all  had 3 materials to make a tent, the materials were toothpicks, plasta clay and a white board to put the model ontop. This picture of my tent was my second model because the first model fell apart because the clay is heavier than the toothpicks so it collapsed. Instead of using the first model I thought of another way to make the tent so I came up with an Idea like this when I did the finishing touches it didn't fall. 

 At first I didn't think that building a tent was part of maths. My first tent that I made was a shape of a rectangle square shape. Mr Ross thought that it would still stand while I play outside for morning tea but, instead when I came back from morning tea and it had collapsed. It have learnt that if I use small bits of clay it wouldn't fall apart but for my first model I put big bits of clay which didn't work.The teachers didn't really explain but it was a making the tent. Sorry if you want to read more but I have finished now. If you want to see more of my work come and visit to see more and post  a positive and thougthful comment below.

                                                           BLOG U LATER !!!!!

I know what we can play ..... GUESS WHO?

Talofa lava & Kia ora,

Guess who this pretty looking girl is. Yes you guessed it, it's !ME!. In our cybersmart lesson we have been working with our funny and lovely cybersmart teacher Gerod. This term I have been introduced to a site called 'Be Funky', there are so many cool things that you can do on 'Be Funky'. One of my favourite things to do on this site is taking a photo of my face (as you can see below) and changed some facial parts, for example I was able to shrink my eyes and change my hair colour. Even with the changes you can still recognise me. Another site that I went on is called thinglink where you can screenshot a photo of yourself, post it on thinglink and describe about yourself. I have put up two videos that is important to me especially the Samoan video because that's my nationality. This is a cool way of connecting with other Samoans in New Zealand and around the world.

 For more ideas on how to make yourself look different, I suggest you could click on both youtube  links that are below.

I have learnt that you could change yourself in many different ways. If you are really interested in doing this, just type in Be funky and challenge yourself. If you are reading this piece of work right now please leave a comment bellow fo me to recieve and aslo read.

Let's compare our ideas together and make a BIG compare and contrast map!!!

Talofa Lava, blogging world,

In Reading this week we have been reading two different articles called, 'Up the pipe' and 'World's water running out'. Ms Sands told us to smrf a document called a compare and contrast map, which some of you guys might know. What we had to do was compare both books to see how they are different or similar. It took me about five minutes to finish because I have done this type of document before, during last year. The book that I liked reading the least is "Up the pipe" because it's about sludge. Ooohhhh! that gave me the shivers already, I shouldn't have told you that. You can't really see the writing but do not panic, I have a link that will take you to the real work. Just click on the underlined purple writing below.

It's already winter guys.....Maybe not a good Idea to climb Mt Everest

Talofa Lava,
It's back to reality again, more homework and also more learning. Welcome back from the 2 weeks long holiday. You might be sad because it's school but don't be school is a time to learn and have fun. In literacy this week we have been talking about winter because it's already winter. What we had to do was go to the Syndicate site and opened up a page called Inquiry. In the Inquiry page was a document that was called 'What do animals do in winter'. Also on the Inquiry page we had to choose a topic about mountains and winter. My topic that I chose was about Snow monkeys. I chose it because I was really interested in it and wanted to know about them. I had 10 questions to answer about my topic.

To get information to put onto my document I went on a link that took me to Kiwi Kids news. That's where I got more information. Some questions were hard to answer but my loving friends helped me out with the questions.

                    Here is a quick link to take you to the real work that I have done.

Let's get creative in writing!!!!!

Welcome back bloggers,
You might be excited because it's the last day of school!!!!.
Now this week we have been doing creative writing with one of the teachers called Mr Ross. In writing we had to pick any photo, now I am saying !ANY! photo from google. We only had a few minutes to choose a picture to write about. I have a screenshot of the picture I chose below. I wrote about lightning and I was in it just me and something that you would know when you read the story. You can't see my writing that I did but do not panic. I have a link just right below for you to click on.

See you soon and have a great holiday!!!!!!

What happens in a turtle's life?

Greetings fellow bloggers,
This is very sad news that I have to report to you today. Now you can see that there is a slideshow with a picture of a turtle. If you flick through the slide, you can see that the sad news is that, a turtle has been washed up on 90 mile beach dehydrated, and injured by it's left fin. There were only six slides that my teacher has put on, but I added 5 more slides so it doesn't sound boring, and also look plain. I also added some video clips that are relative to what I was explaining about in the slideshow.  Flick through the slide, and see what you can find about turtles, that you didn't know before, and maybe you could tell friends and family on what you have learnt from this slideshow. I have been working on this work only for 2 weeks, and I also have been doing it before bedtime. To be honest I think some of the slides will make you cry, and I won't tell you why. If you like this slideshow or, are even interested in it please, please, please, please leave a positive and thoughtful comment bellow. That's all that I have for now, but don't worry more work will be coming, and posted for you to look at. 

                          SEE YOU LATER ON AND MAY ANIMAL LOVE BE WITH YOU!!!!!!!

Let's make this town BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Hello bloggers, It's me again and I am here with one my of my favourite pieces of work. Underneath you can see a personal response which I have done quite a lot of times. This is a different personal response, it's about a book that our group read which was called Panting the Town. The book is really interesting to read because it's actually about a man called Wayne and, Holly Ross doing graffiti and art, on the walls in Christchurch. I didn't do any thing for didn't understand because I didn't have anything, that I didn't understand. The made me think about response always made me, think about doing art in kindy when I was little, and also doing other art while I was growing up in school. It's a lot of memories that I can remember from a little girl to grown girl. Remember to always feel free to read any piece of artwork that is blogged on my blog. Also if you are reading this right now, please feel free to comment on my work.

SEE YOU GUYS SOON

Personal Response - Painting the Town by Renata Hopkins

Directions

During or after reading record your personal thoughts and questions under each heading.

	QUESTION	Why is graffiti so popular and why are they doing this to the walls?   How did they start doing graffiti art? Does the artwork make the town colourful or just more artwork to make it like an art town.
	WAS SURPRISED ABOUT	That the town closed down the art store but there were pictures that were hanged outside on walls.   That all the paintings on the walls look really cool.  That wayne and other artist did all the amazing artwork on the walls even though I thought they weren’t artists.
	LIKED	The cool graffiti pictures that are in the book because, they look creative and cool.   I liked how Holly Ross painted on the walls WE GOT THE SUNSHINE.  Wayne painted on the walls different stuff that we have at home. He says that it reminds people of those that have lost something in the earth quakes.
	DIDN’T LIKE	The people that closed the shop because of the earthquake that happened.   How the earthquakes happened and houses broke down and about %50 of artwork were broken.  People that lost there things in the earthquake.
	WHAT DO WE NEED TO   CHANGE.	People doing just less graffiti because I think some people don’t like art that much.   The earthquake not happening because people are very sad losing their belongings. Make christchurch look beautiful with the graffiti and art.
	MADE ME THINK ABOUT	Doing art with our teacher because she is really creative at doing art.   The installation art that we did with our teacher last year.  Painting in kindy when I was little.
	DIDN’T UNDERSTAND	Nothing   Nothing  Nothing
