What do you think About My Task Masters Blog Post

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to    collaborate  with our learning groups by doing a team building task copy the picture. We had one person drawing and the other person had to go outside and look at the picture and tell the drawer what the picture is and where to put it.  The rules were if your the person who is running, you are not allowed to touch the paper and if you are the drawer you are not aloud to get of your chair and look at the picture.For me it was hard to do it because it was really confusing with my group telling me where to put the picture  and what colour to use without touching the paper. The most challenging  part being the drawer was not being able to understand what the runner is saying and the challenging part about being the runner was the drawer not understanding where to put the picture  and what colour to use. We didn’t finish our drawing because we weren’t understanding each other properly. Have you ever done the task copy the picture?

Freaky Friday Tsunami

    Last week on Friday there was a tsunami drill  lucky it didn’t hit the beaches, I wasn’t at school on Friday but my brother was and he told me that it was scary because he called see surges in the water. I was at home on Friday and I wasn’t allowed outside which was sad but instead I watched the news to see what happened outside.  If I went to school I would of had to evacuate the school with everyone else and run up a big hill to be safe from the tsunami if it did hit the beaches. It would of been hard to walk up the hill because it is a tall hill. When I was at home it wasn’t hard because we didn’t have to do anything but I was scared for everyone who was near the beaches because it is a really scary thing to be near a tsunami. The tsunami was caused by  two earthquakes off the coast of Gibson and one of the earthquakes was a bit higher than the two other ones. What will you do if you were stuck in a tsunami drill?

Mind Blowing Facts About Roy Lichtenstein

 

 This year in Te Ngahere we have been learning about Roy lichtenstein he was a famous pop artist in the 1950s and he used the Ben Day dot technique. We are using his technique of Ben Day dots for our own self portraits.

 It was a little hard to find important facts about him because there were so many  facts to choose from  but it was easier to find images of his paintings to show people what the picture looked like.  

Did you know that Roy lichtenstein has a mural in the Times Square Subway Station?

Midsummer Station

                                                     Midsummer Station

Hi I have been doing 100 word stories  This is my first 100 word  story based on the picture Midsummer Station on pobble 365

For me It was hard to try and make it 100 words only but in the end I finally done it.

In a broken world of dark, grey and misty fog there was only one more spooky Station to live and it was a lost station until a man came across it in his rusty old airplane. He landed on the burnt grass and stepped out to find a dirty waterfall that was flowing to the bottom of the world. He ran inside to find…food, water, even a bed To sleep on. He found a piece of steak on the side table so he picked it up and ate it.He fell asleep on the ground poisoned never to be woken 

Sharing My Knowledge of Mood and Atmosphere

 Tena Koutou Katoa, I have been learning how the author creates mood and atmosphere of a text. For me it was hard to understand what a vivid adjective is so I asked if one of my friends could explain what it means she said it creates a more detailed picture in your mind. The easy part was to find the verbs and adverbs. Can you analyse a text by it’s mood and atmosphere?

Sharing My Knowledge of T ball

 Tena Koutou Katoa,  on  Wednesday November 4th we had our second lesson of Tball with Whaea Kasey. My team was versing Ebony’s team. My team was the first group to get to bat and I was the first person out of my team to bat. For me it was a little bit hard to bat because I didn’t know where to aim the bat at first then it got easier because Whaea Kasey helped me to aim the bat in the right place. Did you know the bases are 60 feet apart in softball,compared to 90 feet for baseball?

Fabulous Fly Cricket

Tena Koutou Katoa,  on the 21st of October a cricket coach called Neal came to Paihia School and showed everyone how to use a cricket bat and how to play a game of speed cricket. For me It was hard to concentrate on the ball while being in a stance, position and hitting the ball with the bat. It was easier to  be the backstop than hitting the ball. Have you played  speed cricket before?
