making puha

This WALT make cardboard Puha and eels for our Christmas float. This week we have been doing art for our Christmas float and we did it off the song pukeko in a ponga tree. And each class had something to do and we had the eight puha trees and the seven eels. We haven't finished our eels yet but we have done our Puha's. I really enjoyed this because we got to cut them out with craft knives. I found this challenging because it took a long time to cut them out.

Checkmate

Today Ngahere have done a summary on a book called Checkmate I like this book because Chess is a strategic game and I like being strategic in games. I found it challenging thinking of what to write in the important bits of the story.

blog Analysis

Today in Ngahere we did a blog analysis it took about 20 minutes it was pretty easy the most challenging part for me was getting the data from my blog and getting the chart to the right setting. Next time I could make so the writing isn't blurry. 

Dick Frizzell's art

Today Ngahere is learning about Dick Frizzell. We are learning about him because he is a New Zealand artist and for Paroa schools Kiwiana Christmas parade. We are doing Dick Frizzell's pukeko in a ponga tree illustration. Then I had too choose my favourite artwork of him and paint it myself.
I enjoyed painting it because I was allowed to add lots of bright colour.
I found it challenging trying to figure out what painting I should choose and what colours to mix to make other colours.

decimals

WALT add and subtract decimals. Today for Maths we had to do a slide and show our working on the slide. I really enjoyed this because it's really fun to work out. What I found difficult about this was that the questions were a bit hard and challenging

Adventure stories

WALT write an adventure story. Today for writing we had to fill in a google drawing and say what makes a good adventure story, why people like to read them, what makes them adventurous, What adventure stories we know, and what good writers might do. I enjoyed this because it was just fun to write. What I found hard was trying to figure out what to write.

My family

Today we wrote our family in Te Reo Maori for Te Reo Maori. What I enjoyed about this activity is that we got to do a video with it as well as writing our family's names. What I found challenging was to put the video on the slide.

Film festival

Last term every school that is part of Toki Pounamu got to participate in an event called Film Festival. Film Festival is a short little film under 5 minutes. Some schools only did a few films but our school, Paroa school in the senior bit got to go in little groups and each class had a subject on what it had to be about. My group was connected. Sadly my group did not make it in. All the lead teachers had to decide what top 20 films got to make it in. This is my group's film. My group is Taj, Quaid, Clara and I.

merimete wishlist

WALT do a Māori Christmas list in Māori this is my list above. Today in Ngahere we all hade to do a Kirimete wishlist (Christmas wishlist).It was challenging thinking about what to put on my list and finding pictures. it was easy for me to write the words in Māori because I used the Māori dictionary. By kohen.
