2013 Reflections

In 2013  at Glenbrae School we did swimming. Swimming is cool. I enjoyed swimming because I learnt how to swim and it was such fun.

I liked the art because I like to draw and paint and it is fun. I like drawing Mussel Men and drew many of them. Art is cool.

PE was great fun too because I like sport. Mostly I like Soccer. I like to kick goals. I liked the outside coaches who came to coach us. I liked when we were taught Basketball.

The trips were fun because I like travelling. My favourite was going to the Zoo. I liked to see all the animals especially the tigers and the elephants.

Thank you Mrs Moopanar for teaching me reading, writing topic studyand maths.

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!

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.

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.
