3 D 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.

Mateaki's painting

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.

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.

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.

Mateaki's plane

I used lego to make a toy plane.

Mateaki's moving robot

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 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.

Sketching of a plant

I was able to sketch a plant using pencil. Then I used chalk on the pencil outlines. Next I used pastel to colour it in. Finally I used glitter to make my work look pretty.

Animal pollinated flowers

They have large, brightly coloured petals to attract insects.

They are sweetly scented and contain nectar to attract insects. The pollen is sticky to stick to insects. The anthers are firm and inside the flower to brush against insects. The stigma is inside the flower so that the insect brushes against it.
