Diwali Art!

Today, Room 9 had went to Room 10 to do some art. A few people have finished and we have one more session. We started recently and this is my final artwork. 

Goal For The Week

Our teacher, Mrs Faalili thought we should set our goals and try to achieve at least to Friday. We are doing it because our current week value is Integrity & Respect. We started this on Monday, except that I'm posting it today. Sadly, I can't put the class goals so I'll write mostly typed down.

Showing integrity by picking up rubbish when its not yours = Pick it up whenever you pass rubbish.

Help other people with what they are struggling with = To ask them if they need help.

My one was to blog about my learning and how I can do it is at least doing one post a day for the week.

Maori Symbols:

Dolphin/Tail - Symbol of protection, navigation,

friendship and harmony.

Double/Triple Twist - Represents the joining of cultures, people or lovers.

Single Twist - Represents the “ path of life .“

Koru - Peace, tranquility and personal growth.

Kowhaiwhai - Symbol for life ad identifies a person’s tribe

Hei Matau ( Fish Hook ) - Symbol for prosperity and good health.

Tiki - Good luck charm, fertility symbol, in myth he is the first mortal.

Toki ( Adze ) - Worn by elders these symbolize power, wisdom and authority in their tribal culture. 

Circle Of Life - represents the idea that life has no beginning or ending.

Manaia - Spiritual guardian, protects against intruders, the 3 fingers its had mean: birth, life & death and has a  bird head.

Roimata ( Teardrop ) - signifies comfort

Who Can Make It The Longest?

Today in room 9, we used the candy wrappers and tried to rip it gently making it the longest.

Rules:
You can only use 1 candy wrapper
No using scissors - ( only your hands to rip )
No taping

The person with the shortest was T.j, he had 1.3cm. The person with the longest is Ocean, she had 79cm. I came third, I had 63 or 64cm but my original is 61cm.

Kiwi Can!

Today Room 9 went to Kiwi Can, we have them every Thursday a bit before morning tea. Our theme is Integrity and our topic is Reliability and they both are important values. Our energizer was 1 2 3 Jump, when Mr Matt - ( One of our Kiwi Can teachers ) says 1 2 3 jump we had to jump and if you were last you were out. Also he would trick you, like 1 2 3 jump-er you have to listen carefully before you jump. Then we talked about what is reliability and things you have to reliable at school & home. Lastly, our activity was called " Mines ", Miss Tuia - ( The other Kiwi Can teacher ) placed cones and lots of other things on the ground. They were " mines ", the girls and boy were split to the other side of the room and we would have 1 leader in the front and the rest closing their eyes looking up. The leader will help you get across to the other side without touching the pretend mines. Unfortunately, no one won but it was fun to play. After, we did the points Respect, Participation, Teamwork, Encouragement & Positive Attitude it had to be out of 5 points each thing but we got 23 points.

Maths - Decimals

This is the decimal math I had to do, it took me 2 days to write 1 whole page about it and publish it on my blog.

My Road Safety Poster!

This is my poster about not speeding, Room 9 has been doing this for 1 or 2 days with Mr Victor. Room 9 had a lot of ideas which gave us opportunities to do as much as we want. 

Holiday Writing

This has 3 stories in this, Room 9 has 
previously been making this the past 2
 days. Firstly, Room 9 wrote down the 
sentences since it couldn't fit much.
 Mrs Faalili proofread it then we got to 
publish on the real paper. After, we got 
to draw what happen and decorate the
 camera. Next, we colored with felts or
 coloring pencils and then cutted it out.
 Finally, we glued the sides together 
which you could see all the stories, we
 also made a hole in the top of the camera
 and tied a string.

Art Exhibition - ( Favorite Picture )

Today in Room 9 & 10 we had a little search around our whole school art exhibition. My favorite was Claude Monet which Room 5 drew colorful ponds. I like it because they used l great colour and I like the vines hanging down. I think some advice for them is maybe adding frogs & fishes in the pond. The rest is fantastic and I think Room 5 did a wonderful job!

Owl Diorama

 This Diorama is made 
for the art exhibition by me & Catherine. We worked hard on
 it and it took us days. The hardest 
bit was making the owl, we 
started making it with pom poms 
and googly eyes but it failed so 
we added a printed picture. It 
was exhausting doing all that 
work but it was also fun though!

Owl Facts!

Art Exhibition

Room 9 has been working hard one this project. We used felt tips, pastels, dye & paint on separate papers. After all that hard work, we started to rip the paper and stick it on a small, medium or a big black paper. I decided to pick a small black paper to finished early. We started from the middle point and started gluing pieces of felt tip, pastel, dye & paint paper, also some magazines.
