My Amazing Art!!!

 Hello there, my name is Mark and this term we have been making an art called Mosaic art. We had to find a photo that we like and put it on a google drawing my pick was a cartoon car, we drew our photo with the polyline or shape tool and then we made the border color transparent and filled the color with the same color of the picture.  We also had to pick a background color to make our art stand out. I enjoyed it because it was fun to make. The hardest part was to draw the shapes at the right sides. The easy part was to make a background. My photo came out good and this is what it looks like, here's the slide.

Wonder Project

Hi there bloggers, in Te Ngahere we have been working with the Wonder Project Team, their names are Gustavo and Troy.

They taught us how rockets fly, they said that the two main things rockets need to fly are thrust and stability.

We went to the field to test our class’ rocket prototype. It blasted away like a real rocket, but it didn’t go that high.

I enjoyed The Wonder Project because it’s fun making a rocket and learning about why rockets fly. I also learned that plastic rockets flys by thrust and stability. Have you ever made a plastic rocket? here is the link to my Wonder Project Progress

CrossCountry Practice

This week we have been running on the court or the field for PE. We were training for cross country we had to be ready for cross country so we had rotation lessons like jumping jacks, high kneels and 2 pushups, mountain climbing and burpees. We had to do all of those lessons twice. I was so excited at first but I got a little tired. I was also warming up alot for the game we were about to play called Sports Swap. It’s like all sports but swapping to different sports like soccer, netball, turbo touch, basketball and capture the flag. The hardest part of the lesson was mountain climbing because my hand kept slipping from the ground. The easiest part was jumping jacks because all I need to do was just jump

Which of these PE sports do you like?

What I did in the Holidays

Last week it was the holidays and we had two weeks off school. I was so happy that it was the last day of school because  it was the the holidays. In the holidays I went home with my sister and played a lot of video games. After that my family went fishing at the ocean including myself. 

At the boat we were setting up our fishing rods. there were only 3 fishing rods so we had to share the rods, the 3 people who had the fishing rods was my Mom and Dad and I, my sister had to sit down eat chips and watch the pros, after that we were ready and launched our fishing rods at the water. My Mom, Dad and I caught tons of fish, I caught about 2 including Snapper, my mom caught 5 or 4 and my Dad caught 2. After that we went home and played more video games

I hope you enjoyed my writing about “What I did in the Holidays” Goodbye Bloggers.

Our Amazing TikTok Dance

Hi i’m Mark from Paihia School. Last week on Friday we did two tik tok dances. Two of our classmates taught us how to do Tik Tok dance in Assembly they are named Mihipeka and Anyah. When the assembly started I had to dance in front of many people. When I danced in front of people I was so nervous but it was fun dancing with my friends at the front. It was good and lots of kids liked it. What I think I could do better next time is to dance the exact same time as my classmates. I think the hardest part for me is the timing because I always go ahead of people when I dance.

Have you ever done a tik tok dance before at assemblies?

Here's the dance on our assembly .Link

The Amazing PouPou ART!!

We have been making an art called poupou art. A pou is a carving that you find on a whare to protect it, like a guardian. We all had to get a practice paper and first draw the lips on our art. We sketched but sometimes I made a huge mistake so I borrowed a rubber from my friends to rub it out. Then I drew the next part which was a nose and eyes, after that it started to look like a head with eyes, nose and lips. I found the legs hard to do because I couldn’t match them up. I found the body easy to do because it was simple. Have you made a Poupou art before?

What I learned from fractions

This week we have been focusing on our fractions. We had to solve the

questions that we have given to us after we had to make a DLO about what

we solved. We had to solve a cake in fractions. For example I’m  turning 12

and I invited 5 friends  to my birthday party, I sliced 6 pieces of cake and

gave it to my friends and had 1 piece of cake left what fraction would it be?

It would be ⅙ because there is only 1 piece for me and 5 pieces of cake for

my friends.
Do you know your fractions?Here's my DLO Please check it out.
