2013 Reflections

In 2013, I was in room 8. I learnt art, writing, reading, maths and topic study.  We also did swimming, dancing, netball, cross country running and rippa rugby.

Swimming is awesome because coaches from Swim Magic came and taught us swimming.

Working with Ms D and Mrs Moopanar is cool cause they help me to learn more stuff on things.

Thank you Mrs Moopanar and Ms D for helping me. Have good Christmas and happy New Year.

3D fish

I created a 3D (stuffed with newspaper) fish for the Rotary Xmas function.

First, I drew my fish on white paper. Then I cut it up. Next I painted it. Thereafter I added some glitter to make it pretty. Finally I stuffed it with newspaper.

My 3D fish looked beautiful!

Future transport

This is a drawing of what I think transport would look like in the future.

Transport painting:
To create this painting I first did some rough sketches of different forms of transport and I chose my favourite one to paint. I drew the design onto cardboard and went over the lines in vivid. I made sure to erase all pencil lines before I started painting this is because pencil can show through the paint. Ie then painted our transport designs.

Angelica's time machine adventure

Once upon a time on the hill there were people who were stuck in a time machine and there was a family named Linadakiki, Aaliyahna, dad, aunty, mum and my uncle.

First they got in a time machine.Then they tried fixing it. Next there was no battery and they checked if they had a battery.Finally they got someone to take them home.

They lived happily ever after.

What is the difference between an old steam train and a new electric train?

This is the information that Rata house has researched and the poster that Rata house has created for our Guided inquiry learning.

PRINTMAKING

I created this print by making the image on a block using card. Then I rolled an even coat of ink over the surface and placed paper over the block applying pressure using my hands and a roller to transfer the print.

Angelica's toy car

I used lego to make a toy car.

Truck TV

I was able to cut out the parts from a picture and invent a Thing-A-Me-Jig by rearranging the parts.

All about me flower

I created an “All about me” flower. In my flower I described my gender, my ethnicity, my age, my year level and my favourite fruit.

How to make porotaka

To make a porotaka I used two strips of flax at least 30 centimetres long.

The strips were both the same width. 

First I folded strip A. 

Then I placed strip B inside the fold of strip A.

Next I weaved strip B around strip A.

Thereafter I pulled the four ends tightly to form a square.

Then I trimmed the blades so they are all the same length.

Finally when I finished making my porotaka, I pinned it to a stick.

How to make porotiti.

First I cut a circular piece of thick cardboard about the size of a coffee cup.

Then I designed my circular piece of cardboard using different coloured crayons.

Next I pierced two holes in the centre of the cardboard circle about 1 centimetre apart.

Thereafter I threaded a piece of string through the holes. I tied the ends together into a sturdy knot, creating a large hoop.

 

 

A strip of Aotearoa

Firstly I drew the sky, mountain, river, land and sea on a strip of paper using a pencil.  I then used a vivid to go over my drawing. Finally I dyed the strip using a paintbrush and different coloured dyes.
