Chocolates and Shapes

 Hello Friends!

I hope you are all having a great day so far, I sure am! In maths, we were making a shape able to fit a certain size. I size my 3 Mini Chocolate bars. The chocolates fit perfectly in the container I made. We made it out of paper and my shape was meant to be a drawer that you can pull out of its container. I also added a little handle to make it easier.  I used the colours yellow and white. This was really fun because we got to even eat the food that we put in our container! Here is a photo. Have you ever done something like this at school? If you have comment and tell me. Also, tell me what I can do next time to improve.

My friend Ajay got in the shot haha

100% Pure Haka

Hello Everybody!

I hope you have all had a great day and a great week so far! We are now in week 2! In class, we are learning about our country, our culture, And what makes New Zealand a unique country. We got to choose what we wanted to learn about, Our options were, The Haka, Tā moko, or Korowai (kākaku). Me and my Friend Henry, Decided to do the Haka because we thought it would be most fun to do. We learned about how the Haka has changed through the years and how the Haka was different in the Past. We had to Write down the Use of the haka, The Design of The Haka, And the Presentation. Here is what we wrote. 

Have you ever learned about our country in class? Or Have you ever learned about the Haka? If you have then please comment and tell me! I love hearing from you all! Please also tell me what I can work on next time so I can improve. Bye for now!

My Planet Oshaveria

Hello People 

I hope you all had a great school holiday, I sure did. In class, we have been learning about space and we had an activity sheet. One of the activities was to create my own planet and make a drawing of what the planet would look like. My Planet name is Oshaveria (osh-a-v-ear-ee-a) And its the planet of darkness. Here is my drawing, Its actually an animation where the stars and the moon is flashing but sadly I couldn't download it so the moon is only one colour and the stars are normal :( Please tell me what you think of my planet and tell me what I could do next time.

Beauty in the World

Kia Ora Everybody!

Lately in class, we were learning about Matariki and the Southern lights. Matariki is a special star constellation that is really important throughout New Zealand and the Maori culture. 

The stars are used to identify how good the harvest will be, The brighter the stars, the better the harvest. Matariki is also the start of the Maori New year. 

The Southern Lights are a beautiful set of colors that appear in the sky in all different shapes and sizes. The Colours are normally green but sometimes you can see red and blue.

You can go look at them in an "auroral zone" near the Arctic in the North and the Antarctic in the South. The southern lights are made by the Collision of charged particles with atoms within our atmosphere.

For our Activity, we did some art, First, we ripped some paper for our mountains and stuck it to some black paper, Next, we got some white paint and splattered it onto our paper to make the effect of stars. We then did our effect of the southern lights. Lastly, we did our Matariki, here is a photo of my finished art. Please tell me what you think and what I could do work on next time, Thanks a bunch!

The Superheros in Disguise..

Hello Bloggies!

In class, we were looking at different art that represents different problems in the world. We put lots of pictures of art around the classroom and next to it, we wrote down what we think the art is trying to tell us. My Favorite piece of art was one with a picture with a nurse who has a superhero logo on her mask. I think that this represents that all Nurses are superheroes and that their superpower is saving other's lives and making people feel better. Without them, COVID 19 would have killed and infected many more people. Have you ever done something like this in your class? And what do you think the picture represents? Comment and tell me! Anyway, I hope you have a great day and a great week!

My Fantastic Fabric Poppy

Hello Bloggers!

It is going to be ANZAC day soon, so during online class, I found the activity of making a big poppy to put in my front yard. It said to use reusable bags that are red, But I didn't have any so I made my own version. Heres how I made it.

1. Cut out a big circle and a smaller circle and hot glue them together with the smaller circle in the middle.

2. Get some cardboard, cut out a small circle, and colour it black. After you do that stick it on your pieces of fabric in the middle.

3. Get a stick/Piece of wood and glue the fabric on the stick/Piece of wood.

Maybe you can try this at home, Or maybe make your own version? Please comment and tell me what you think. Have a great day!
