On Tuesday night some school people went to J-Rock in Hamilton and did a big stage challenge. We played games with the other schools like run round the circle. All of us had dinner.We had lasagne, buns with ham and cheese, a bag of carrots, a juice box and a muffin.Then we played some card games. After that we got all our make up on and our clothes and did a practise three times.We then did it in front of the other schools. Finally we did it in front of the crowd and our school got awards for it. We also got to watch the other schools perform and they were really good. We had to wear this itchy scratchy wig that had rainbow colours all over it.We got to party at the start when we all got there.We were singing songs, dancing with the other schools and we were watching some videos.When we went home all of us had to wash our make up off.

Mothers Day

On Friday our mothers came to our school and did some activity's with us. But I didn't go to school because I had to go to the hospital to
get my finger checked.For Mothers Day I got my mum a necklace,a note book,pencil,a pen and my mums friend got her some soap and
some shampoo.Also I made my mum a card.She liked all the things that I got her!

Mothers day necklace

The other day the Whetu team made our mums a necklace out of air dry clay. First we cut out a shape and put something in it.
Then we let it dye.

After that we put some Indian ink on it and then we put some water or rubbed a tissue on it to make it lighter.  
Then we let them dry and Mrs Heaven put holes in them.

Then we put some coloured string and threaded it threw the holes and knotted
it. After we wrapped the necklace in paper and made a envelope.Then we said a little message on it and taped it up. It will be posted
some time this week!

My art group

A couple of weeks ago,my art group made some air dry clay flowers.This is how we made them:First we got some paper and drew our
designs on the piece of paper.Then Mrs Heaven brought in some play dough for us to have a play with.Then Mrs Heaven brought in some
air dry clay and we made our first flower shape.After that I made the second flower to go on top,And after that we made the last flower that goes on the top!Then we put some pattens on them and glue them together.After this we let the air dry clay flowers dry.When they had dried we painted them bright colours!That's how you make air dry clay flowers!
