Waitangi trip.

I.A.L.T upload and reflect on waitangi.
yesterday, on Tuesday we went to Waitangi in Paihia. Waitangi is a museum that has wakas, paintings, and carvings. there's even a classroom that has computers and more to learn. In that classroom we done coding on scratch, and even had lunch outside in the beautiful sunshine. that day was so fun, we talked about carvings and trying to find the story to it, like in one of them it had a man that set out to find a octopus that had wrecked boats, and the man you can see has killed the octopus. It was so beautiful there and it was kinda like butterfly Creek in Auckland.

REFLECTION:
what did I enjoy? I enjoyed learning about the story's of Maori and coding on scratch.

QUESTION: have you ever gone to Waitangi.

Kiwi can.

I.A.L.T upload and reflect on Kiwi can.

Today our class had Kiwi can, our main focus for the term was about accountability, accountability is being true and honest and owning up to your actions, that is why our catch phrase was we are honest, we are true, we take ownership of what we do. we played 3 games , the first game was called high tide, low tide, this is how you play the game, so everyone gets a chair and you put it in a circle and someone says either low tide or high tide and if its high tide you stand up and if it's low tide you sit down, if your too slow or do the wrong one your out and you sit down on the floor in front of you chair, in this game our Kiwi canners Jodicy and Shail added in another rule, it was if they say eyes up you do it and if the say eyes down you also do it. Our next game was called impossible connections, this game was were you all dance around to some music stops someone says a number and a body part and you have to get into a group of that much people and you have to be all connected touching that body part, when you've done that you sit down and the last group to sit down or if you don't have a group your out. and at the end of each session we do a game called GKQ, this is a quiz game and we always have a different buzzer, like touch your toes and say your name and many more.

My geometric art.

I.A.L.T upload my learning tasks to my blog and write about them.

This week and last week we have been working on some animal geometric art, for my one I chose a wolf, I chose a wolf because it is one of my favourite animals, I found that finding where to put all of the geometric lines interesting, if you don't know how to do it here is the steps.

1. Choose an animal,

2. Draw your animals outline to a white piece of paper,

3. Turn the non straight lines into straight lines,

4. Fill your animal with geometric lines you could also use zentangle patterns,

5. Lastly colour I as much as you want to or leave it blank.

What did I enjoy:

I enjoyed experimenting with the lines,

What did I do well:

I think I done well on they outline,

what could I improve on:

I could improve on the colours.

I think I done well in making my writing interesting.

What could I improve on:

My art.

I.A.L.T upload my art and reflect on it.


On Tuesday we done some art with our reliever teacher Mrs Hall, we choose one of the 4 designs that were nature EG Paua shells, Kowhai flower and more, on a black piece of paper we had to copy the drawing onto the paper with a pencil, then we coloured it in also with pencil, for this we didn't have to do the exact colours but we had to try to blend it in. By the end the result is amazing.

What did I enjoy?
I enjoyed colouring in my art because after colour it is more easy to see it especially because of the paper being black.

What did I found hard?
What I found hard was getting the motivation to finish the patterns because of them being so hard.

What did I do well?
I think I done well on colouring in and drawing the main one the Kowhai flower.

QUESTION:
Do you like art?

My angles shape.

I.A.L.T upload a learning task from this week.

This week for maths we done a shape out of angles, when we made our shape and measured them we had to make the same thing but on a Google drawing, we had to use a shape to start with then we Drew some angles in them, some people in my class done things like TVs and more.

I enjoyed, creating my shape and just having fun with the angles.

What I found interesting was designing all of the shape and trying to fit in all of the angles.

I think next time I could improve on putting more angles into my shape. 

QUESTION: do you know your angles.
