My Rangoli art

 Happy Diwali everyone! What is Diwali? Diwali is a Indian Holiday that last for five days. These are links I used to learn about Diwali. Link 1 Link 2. For reading my teacher gave the class two choices for an activity, the activity was to make a Rangoli either inside or outside. I choose to do mine outside because I wanted to use chalk and because I wanted to make mine big. I found this activity really easy and fun and found nothing hard. 

                                            This a photo of me, my friends and our Rangoli art.

My 2021 accomplishments

 This week and last week my class has been working on our 2021 achievements/ accomplishments. To make our poster we had to use canva.

Self portraits


This week my class was working on self portraits. First the teacher had to take a picture of us, then we had to retrace our faces onto a lemonader with a sharpie ( permanent marker). After that we made our skin colour with red, blue, yellow and white. After we made our skin colour we painted the rest of our face. The point of this piece was to create our skin tone. I had a lot of fun with making this artwork, and I don't like to brag but my self portrait is a art of work.

Why we should stop fishing industries (speech)🐟

 Last week we started to write our speeches. My speech was about "Why we should stop overfishing" If you want to learn more you should read my speech. I really enjoyed this because it was a fun experience. I didn't expect it but I came 2nd place in the year 6's speech finals. I hope you like my speech. 


Do you think that the fishing industries are innocent? If you think that they are innocent, well you're wrong. I could tell you over and over why they are monsters. I firmly  believe that we shouldn't be polluting? Did you know for a fact that the most pollution of the ocean comes from fishing industries, and the abandoned nets from the fishermen k8ll them the most. 

First of all people shouldn't be fishing in polluted oceans because if we still fish in them they just become worse. Because they will get more caught together. The fish nets do not only catch fish they catch endangered turtles, dolphins, seals and sharks. Imagine being a sea animal and getting caught by anbv lazy fisherman's fish net.

Second of all ,for all I know fishing should be illegal. I know some people love fish, right ? I know I do put your hands up if you like. It is very horrible, awful, careless and cruel  for them to treat fish like that. 

Last of all I think people are cruel to think that it is ok to pollute the ocean and say " that piece of rubbish doesn't mean anything" well it does . What did the animals do to you? Remember to do to others ( animals) what you want to be done to you. 

In conclusion  think that the ocean would be more clear and not full of nets and dead fish, if we don't have a lot of fishing industries and lazy and cruel fishermen. That is why I think that there should be fewer Fishing industries.

Beatitude (poster)

Yesterday my class made a poster because it's is social justice week. In this poster I put in a verse from the bible aka beatitude. I really enjoyed this activity.

3D cube

 Today in class one of our activities was to make a 3D shape with paper. I chose to make a cube. I think this activity was supposed to be a walk in the park but I was really frustrated with how difficult it was. Next time I make a 3D shape, I'd like to use a bigger piece of paper because it might be easier. If you want to make your own cube, click this link "How to make a Cube" and let me know what your favourite 3D shape is.

Explode the lunch bag!!!! (experiment)

 Today my class was able to choose a science experiment of our choice. Our choices was building a fizz inflator, make a volcano or you could explode a lunch bag, and I chose to explode a lunch bag. Making this activity was easy. I found no difficulties in the making of the science experiment. The instructions were easy to follow. This is what I had to do... 

  1. Go outside – or at least do this in the kitchen sink.
  2. Put 1/4 cup of pretty warm water into the bag.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of vinegar to the water in the bag.
  4. Put 3 teaspoons of baking soda into the middle of the tissue
  5. Wrap the the baking soda up in the tissue by folding the tissue around it.
  6. You will have to work fast now – partially zip the bag closed but leave enough space to add the baking soda packet. Put the tissue with the baking soda into the bag and quickly zip the bag completely closed.
  7. Put the bag in the sink or down on the ground (outside) and step back. The bag will start to expand, and expand, and if all goes well…POP!

Bees

 This week my class had a science experiment about how bees pollinate flowers. The equipment we had was a tuning fork, a cut ballon, plastic cup, flour ( pollen), paint brush, black laminated paper. Before we did our experiment we had to read the instruction. We used the balloon to cover the top of the cup, then brushed the flour (pollen) onto the balloon after that we hit the tuning fork on a desk or on a chair. Then we gently tip the cup sideways, so I could touch the cup with the tuning fork so we can see the difference. 


After our Science experiment we were to read and find fact about bees. My group called ruby rhinos read the "The Language of Bees and Other Insects" book by Megan Kopp on epic, with our teacher. Our group  had to find key information from the book, then find 20 keywords. When we had 20 key words we narrowed it down to 6 words, after we had our 6 words we had to form up sentences with 6 words.

Land of the rising. (ART)


In my class we were learning on how to blend in oil pastels. We had a week and a bit to finish our art.
This piece of painting was inspired by Japan also known as the land of the rising sun. I really enjoyed adding the white cherry blossoms and drawing the pagoda. Do you know what a Pagoda is? A pagoda is a Japanese temple that is usually used for religious reasons. Even though I enjoyed drawing my pagoda it was still difficult.

Project 2000( Aqua pod)

Before the science experiment.
My class is going to do a science experiment using a rocket powered by air pressure. It looks like a orange drone but without the propellers.  I think that the rocket is going to blast very high because of how much pressure the pump is going to put into the water bottle.

Do you know how to set up an aqua pod? First you have to fill a third of the water bottle, then you have to attach the bottle to the aqua pod by flipping the aqua pod upside down then you push the bottle against the aqua pod. If you hear a click its secure.

Scratch Project

 Today in class we had cybersmart. If you don't know what cybersmart is it's a subject where we learn how to use our chromebooks and how to be safe online, but today we were learning on how to code using a site called scratch. Scratch is a site for people mostly children on how to code and make games. I really enjoyed this project. It was kind of difficult to adjust because I haven't used scratch for a while. I was really excited when my teacher said we had cybersmart because we haven't had cybersmart for a while. If you play my game all the stars will do different things

My peaceful kingdom

 During week one of term 2 my whole entire class had to write an explanation writing about their room.  I have been working on this piece of writing for two weeks but forgot to publish. This writing was very fun to work on even though it took a long time. In writing our focus was to describe, that's why I had to explain every single detail about my room.  


My Peaceful Kingdom


My room is peaceful, clean, quiet and bright. Unlike my brother's room I like cleaning my room and keeping it clean.

My room is the best room in the house because I can see the sunrise and the sunset. In my room there is a queen bed and a single bed. I just hate seeing my room dirty because it just feels disgusting.

I like it when it is sunny and breezy because I can just lie down and get lost in a book until I fall asleep. Sometimes when I open my windows I can hear tons of birds chirping. It's a very peaceful and relaxing sound. In my room I always feel so free, because I can roam anywhere I want to. I love my room so much I would never trade it for my brother's room. My kingdom still bans the ugly troll known as my brother.

Samoa Tatau

 During the Samoan language week, my reading group named Ruby Rhinos were learning about the Samoan tatau. Tatau is the Samoan word for tattoo. Both of my parent have the tatau they both of got their tattoos made the traditional way. There are two ways of making the Samoan tattoo. There's the traditional one, and the other that uses a modern tattoo machine. The traditional way of making the tattoo involves a shark tooth! ( I learnt this from the book named Man at sea. ) I enjoyed this activity a lot. Would you want a Samoan tattoo and if you do would you get it done in the traditional way using a shark's tooth?

Story of Abraham and & Sarah

In week 3-4  we had to watch a video about the story of Abraham and Sarah then write a roleplay about them. In my group was Unaise, Mikaela, Paula and myself. I enjoyed this activities a lot and I had absolutely no difficulties.

The story started in Canaan, where there was an old couple named Abraham & Sarah. The old couple wanted kids but Sarah wasn't able to have any children. On one evening, God appeared out of thin air and said "If you believe in me throughout your journey I will give you as many children as the dust particles". Abraham delivered the news to Sarah but she laughed. They started their journey in Ur before walking to Canaan. They waited and waited years passed but Abraham and Sarah we're getting inpatient but they stuck by God's word. Time flew so quickly, it pasted Abrahams 169 th birthday. A few years later Sarah found out she was pregnant. When Sarah got pregnant she named her son Isaac.

Fun fact Abraham & Sarah traveled 700 miles to the borders of present-day Iraq, another 700 miles into Syria, another 800 down to Egypt by the inland road, and then back into Canaan - what is now Israel. 

Have you ever heard the story about Abraham and Sarah?

WW1 postcard


To day in class we had to write a journal or a postcard from world war 1 and we got to make up a fictional character. I enjoyed making this post card. I had no difficulties in the making of this post card. I choose light milkisk green for the background because it my favourite colour.

Hot cross buns making


 On April first my class made a hot cross buns. I wasn't here when they made it because I had family reasons ( I went rere rock slide ). The hot cross is very important for holy week because each bun is decorated with a cross made from flour paste, which represents the cross on which Christ died. The spices in hot cross buns are said to represent the spices which were used to embalm Christ after his death the round shape represent the rock closing Jesus's tomb.
