Lisa Carrington

 

We have been learning about the Olympics. We had to make a slide about an Olympic athlete. I chose Lisa Carrington. She is famous for rowing. She was born 23 of June 1989 and she is 32 years. Her parents names are Pat Carrington (Dad) and Glynis Carrington. I also Like Horse Riding Olympics.

Who is your favourite Olympic?.

All Blacks

 

' 

In Kereru we did something different for reading. We wrote what we knew about the All Blacks. Most of the girls did not know much. These are all the things I know about them. It was a little bit hard for me and some of the girls because we knew not much about them. I found it a little bit fun getting to learn some things about them.

What do you know about the All Blacks?.  

Time Capsule

 In Kereru we are making a time capsule. We are writing a Letter to ourselves 50 years in the future. We had to write about ourselves and what has been happening in the past two years. It was a bit weird when I was writing the letter because In 50 years or even more I'll probably be reading the letter. We wrote things like what had happened in the Olympics, about us, our family and lots of other things. We might be burying the letter in the ground for 50 years or even more. Have you ever made a Letter and  buried it in the ground.  

                  

Flax Basket.

 

We have been learning how to make a Flax Basket. It was hard at the start but then it got really easy. First we had to rip the spine out of the flax then rip the flax apart. We had to get twelve strips of flax to make it. You had to put down seven pieces of flax then go up and down with five pieces of flax. Then with the five two sides we folded them and at the end of folding both sides you do one braid on each side then tie it up with a skinny piece of flax on both sides. The put rap them round and round to make a handle. Then with the rest of it tie it and cut the long bits of flax. 

Have you ever made a flax basket? 

Emily Carr

This is my first Emily Carr Art that we did with Mrs Swinburn. Emily Carr was known for Writing and painting. She was a Canadian Artist. She was born 13 December 1871 and she Died 2 March 1945. 

The first painting we had to: Pick 2 or 3 colors for the background. Then once we picked our colors we sponged them onto a piece of paper. Then we got another piece of paper to sketch a tree. When we had done that we painted it with black paint onto the paper that had been sponged and we also added some grass.

Have you ever done Emily Carr art before?

Fake news poster.

We have learn't how to know what is fake news or real news. We got this of a website and we had to reda a book about kids getting sucked ( Sucked is the site and the story's name ) people post fake news sometimes. The thing I liked most about this task was making the poster. you would have to check for an author. have you ever seen fake news before?.

Rocket

 

In Kereru we are making rockets out of bottles and we made a Jam board to help us make a better rocket. the small bottle rockets go further. My favourite Part will be when we launch the rocket. My other part is when we can make the rocket. Have you ever made a bottle rocket before?.
