Problem solving.

I solved a problem today that someone needed help on. I solved that problem by helping someone pick the right dress and the colour and helped them with  decorating the paper person. In my group there was Savanah and Anna-Louise. The skills that I did was make a neat piece of art work and try and make it exciting.      
 

Last term's art refletion

Last term for art the Whetu team did lino cuts with different teachers. We all got to pick or art groups. The art teacher's and art groups are Mrs M was doing flowers, Miss Sixsmith was doing birds, Mrs Barker did houses and Mrs Heaven did Pacifica. This is how we made them. First we looked on the internet to find some pictures of flowers to have a look and trace off. Then we picked our design and drew it nicely on a piece of paper. Then we got a lino cut and pinned it to the lino cut. After that we coloured the back of the paper that we did our design on. The picture came up on our lino cut. Then we got a carver and carved out the pencil lines. You had to put your hand behind the carver so you don't hurt your self. When you have done that you get some ink and put your lino cut on a piece of paper. Then you roll a roller in the ink and roll it on your lino cut. After that you get a piece of paper and put the paper on the lino cut. Then you get a clean roller and roll the roller on the paper so that the sides and edges are covered with ink. Then you take the piece of paper off the lino cut and let it dry. After that you go to the sink and wash your lino cut with a scrub brush. Then you can ether put it out in the sun or blow dry it. After that you can do as many prints as you want. That is how you make a lino cut.










    

My recount about the holidays

In the holidays I went to movies. I got to take a friend from next door. Her name is Bronte. We saw the minion movie. We also got some lollies and a fizzy drink. The movie was really funny and cool. We chose to sit at the back row so we could see clearly. After the movies we went into the warehouse and looked at the clothes, and books. Me and Bronte got to have a bag of lollies each. I got party mix and Bronte got party mix too. Then we went to McDonald's and I had a happy meal and Bronte had a happy meal as well. After we had McDonald's we all had candy floss that was a bright pink colour. It was yummy! Then we went home and had diner. For diner we had home made popcorn chicken. Then after our chicken we watched a movie. The movie was Big Hero 6. Then we went to bed and started talking for a little while. It was really fun.

Term reflection

This term I've enjoyed art and discovery block. I like the group activity's that we sometimes do. For art we are doing tile art and its very, very hard. I have achieved my goal that was to keep my things like writing interesting. Every Thursday we do singing that like doing too. We also do basketball every Monday and Tuesday. I really liked our teacher reading books that I have never read before. Plus some Thursday's we do drama, sport and science. For sport we did tennis. It was really fun!

Next term I'm looking ford to doing art because I wonder what we are going to do. My goal for next term is making sure I get my learning completed in time. I need to improve on getting my learning done in time so I'm not in oh-dear. Next term I would like to try getting more into drama. sport and science. I would like to also try doing some graffiti art and maybe some sketching or pastel art. I would really enjoy doing that!!!

J-Rock

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.

It is important to me because it makes people feel happy. And it is a sweet quote as well.It is made by unknown artiest.

Discovery Block

Every Tuesday the Whetu Team does Discovery Block. There are heaps of things to do and make like gardening, Invent to learn, Google drawing, minecraft and fabric. Invent to learn is with Mr Mack and it is about this game. Google drawing is about drawing on line and you make things like people and houses and heaps more. Minecraft is about building houses out of blocks.And fabric is about you make stuff out of fabric and create things.I like discovery block because you get to do fun stuff!  

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!
