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 Rongoa sign

 A week ago my class was working on a sign about a plan or tree we use to heal our wounds. I choose a plant by random and that was a rata plant. In this activity I learned alot about the Rata, like about it's healing power etc. I found this activity very fun because I learned alot about a plant and I found it very fun to to hammer a nail into my sign. I really had a 

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. 

Art work

 Hi! Happy first of october. My class have been working on our Calendar art for a few weeks now and I finally finished mine. I really like mine. I really like this activity because I love art. I found it really easy to dye my background but hard to draw my bird. Can you guess my bird? The answer is a fantail. I hope you like my art 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.   

Is Mr guilty?

Last week Thursday my class started a piece of writing about the wolf from Red Riding Hood.This is the plan that we made for the writing. I had a lot of fun writing this plan a debating with my friends. I hope you agree with me that the wolf from "Red Riding Hood" is innocent.  

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.

Today in class me and a classmate were making a stop motion. The stop motion was due a week ago but I lost the video so I made a different one. I had a lot of fun.

Funky hat day

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!
