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!

This is the information that Kowhai house has researched and the poster that Kowhai 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.

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.

My treasure.

My treasure is a fine mat.
It is from New Zealand.
It looks like an Island mat.

It is 5 years old.
It is special to our family because it was given to me by my Papa.

Plant sketch

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.

The structure of a flower

 The outermost parts are the leaf like sepals.

Above the sepals are the petals. 

In the centre are the fertile parts of the flower

The stamen is the male part made up of the anther and the filament.  

The pistil is the female part made up of the stigma, style and ovary.  

All about me

I am a boy.

I am a Maori.

I have a black hair.

I have brown eyes.

My favourite fruit is apple.
