Ice Candles

Today we made Ice candles  as a class. This is our we made them: 

Step one- cut the top of your cartoon with scissors. Step two- rup oil around the 5 sides of the cartoon. Step three- put a white tall candle into the centre of the cartoon. Step four- fill the cartoon all the way to the top with ice. Well you're filling your cartoon you are melting old candles that can no longer be lit. Step five-  when your candles are finished melting pour them into your cartoon all the way to the top. Sep six- let is set. Step seven- in the morning we ripped open the cartoons to find big holes in the candles which water sprayed out of. The one we opened in my group had a smiley face.

Artwork colouring book

 Today we had Mrs Torrie for cybersmart. I found it hard to color in the little pieces because the big  pieces would change colour.  I found it easy to pick the colours because I had a clear picture what I was going to do. Mohammed Melehi was the artist for the piece of digital art I recreated. Here is the link to art colouring book the site I used.

Here is the original piece of artwork:

Spooky house

 In reading we had to make our own spooky house. We are learning how to infer. I found it hard to draw the outlines of the house because I wanted them to be straight. I found it easy to decorate the house and the ghost's in blood. Next time I would make the door blend with the background. 

We have been learning how to infer, it means to find a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning. In the story  the moving men said " Have we got the right house?"  The house had been for sale  for many years because weird things had happened in that house.

Parihaka

This past week we have been learning about Parihaka. In reading we have been collecting information about Parihaka. There were 8 different fact cards for us to read. Once we were finished we cut them out to make two albatross feathers. 

Here are my feathers,

Updated camp goals

 Last week we went on camp. We did high ropes, rope maze, flying fox, frisbee golf, laser tag, nerf wars, indoor rock climbing and last of all my fav slingshot paintball. I am proud of myself for achieving my goal, which was to make a new friend.  My new friend is Elena, make sure you check out her blog.
