Pop Art Self Portrait

 Kia ora bloggers, this week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about this famous artist named Roy Lichtenstein. I learned that he became famous for his bright and bold paintings of comic strip cartoons as well as his paintings of everyday objects. I also learned that he uses ben day dots for his art and paintings. Also Te Ngahere will be doing our own self portraits, Azure and I are going to be using ben day dots, stripes/lines, shapes, colours/shading and angles. I really enjoyed learning about Roy Lichtenstein because I learned alot about his way of doing art. Have you learned about Roy Lichtenstein or ever done a self portrait?

Insanely Fun Maths

 Kia ora bloggers, today I am blogging about graphs and data for maths. In Te Ngahere we have  recently been doing this maths for the last week. I learnt how to use graphs and collect data to add on to a table. I really enjoyed doing this because we were able to learn about graphs and how to use them which will be really helpful when we need them. I found it hard to create a graph because I kept on forgetting where to find the graph tab. I found it easy to collect the data because you just needed to push a control and the  data was added to your table. Have you worked around graphs and data before?

Fun Lesson's About T-ball

 Kia ora bloggers, today I am blogging about our interesting T-ball practice we did on Wednesday the 28th of October. I really enjoyed it because we learned new things about T-ball. I learned how to stand in the right position while we are hitting the ball. I found it confusing because I kept running to the wrong spot when I was meant to run the other way. I found it easy to get the ball back to where the batter stands to hit the ball and I also found it really fun.  Have you ever done T-ball practice before?

Amazing Art

 

Kia ora bloggers, today I am blogging about our Mahi Toi we have recently been doing. We had to practice drawing curves, continuous lines and ruling straight lines on a template that the teacher had given us. Once we finished doing that we practiced our shading on the template that we had finished drawing on. After that the teacher gave us a template that was on an A4 piece of paper which was our good copy. After we finish our shading we need to go over all the lines with vivid to make that more bold and pop out of the paper more. Then we trimmed the border and glued it onto a piece of thick paper. I found it hard to shade 

the colours because I was trying to blend it. Have you ever done Mahi Toi before?

Weather Report

 Kia ora bloggers, today I am blogging about our weather report’s Te Ngahere has recently been doing for the last three weeks. We have been making weather reports in Te Reo Maori and being able to screencastify ourselves speaking in te reo maori. I really enjoyed doing this because it is fun and I am learning how to speak in maori. I found it hard to pronounce the te reo maori correctly. Next time we make weather reports I will make sure to learn the words so I can pronounce them correctly.  Have you ever made your own weather report before?

Amazing Athletics Practise

 Kia ora Bloggers, today I am blogging about the athletics practise Paihia School has recently been doing. I learned how to throw a shot put properly because Whaea Chrissy has been taking shot put practises for the past week. I really enjoyed doing athletics practise because it will be helpful for when we go to Bledisloe Domain to compete against other schools. Does your school do athletics practise before you compete against other schools?

Amazing Maths

 Kia ora Bloggers, today I am blogging about the maths we have recently been doing this week. We have been doing Just Right Algorithms. Our W.A.L.T is to  use mental strategies to solve problems with fractions, decimals, and proportions. I learned how to work out Just Right Algorithms questions. I really enjoyed doing this maths because we get an opportunity to learn about algorithms before we go to college and I found it hard to explain how we worked out the questions like 2087-543=1544 and why it is that. Have you ever done Just Right Algorithms?
