Tracey Tawhiao

We have been doing Tracey Tawhiao inspired artwork, it was a really tricky artwork piece of artwork

 First we had to find a piece of newspaper with words on it that meant something to us.

Then we picked a color to paint over the news paper but leaving the few words that you have picked unpainted. When painting leave lines between blocks, the blocks can be paragraphs.                      

Next we googled patterns from our culture and put them on our painted piece of news paper, you can color the patterns in and do them different colors.

If you do this piece of artwork and like it please let me know, I really enjoy the feedback and I will comment on yours.

Haast's eagle

 For the pasts few weeks we have been doing report writing about extinct animals I did mine on the Haast's eagle. It took me a long time to do this piece of writing because we had to plan it and then self assist and last of all we had to blog it .                                                                                                               This is my report:

My Ruru art

Maths Times table cheak up

 

For the past week or so we have been learning our times table today was a check up day.

I need to learn 9x8= and 3x8=, green means you got them right, orange means you forgot to hit enter  before the time has ran out and last of all red means you got the question wrong.

Faith gif

 During this week we made gifs about a challenge that we were set. It was a tricky task because we had to provide all of the materials. I would think of changing what faith felt like and maybe add what it sounds like and feels like. I hope you enjoy my blog/gif. We used tall tweets to make our gif, here is the link. When you click this link it will ask you to sign in using google. After that scroll down and click classic tall  tweets. Next click select presentation you may need to scroll down to find this.

Bird feeder

 As a task this week we made bird feeders because  as a school we would like to have more native birds in the school. My bird feeder has two bowls one for sugar water and the other one is for uncooked rolled oats. The reason why I did not do what I was planing was because we did not have enough wood. The reason I put uncooked rolled oats instead of seeds  because seeds as they get old it will start to dry out and won't attract many.
