2013 Reflections

In 2013 my class had Dance fever in School. We learnt a lot of different dancing styles.I loved it. I wish we would have it every year.

Reading was the next most enjoyable thing. It helped me with words, meanings and all different kinds of things. I learnt that reading improves my knowledge.

The Matatriki Star Ball  was to celebrate the Matariki Star. Matariki Star is about 7 sisters in the star. They were selfish to their men. We had lots of fun on the day of the Ball.

Thank you Mrs Moopanar for teaching me. I appreciate it because I learnt a lot of things.

have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

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!

Carolines painting

Transport painting:
First I did three sketches of different types of transport and I chose my favourite one to paint. Next I drew my design onto a piece of card then I went over the outlines in vivid ready to paint. I then had to rub out the left over pencil lines and started painting. :)

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

Caroline's toy car

I used lego to make a toy car.

The Computer, T.V and a moving radio.

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

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.

Wind pollinated flowers

The flowers are small.
The pistils are feathery.  
The grains of pollen are light.  
The stamens are long.  
The flowers produce no nectar.
