My Texture Landscape Art

Calendar Art

I like my calender art because it is something that looks realistic and interesting.

I also like it because it makes me feel like i'm outside in the open.

This has probably been my best calendar art so far so I am pretty proud of my art.  

We learnt to do the texture landscape art and do different patterns.

I am blogging this because I think I did a great job!

Rowan AKA MUM By Tessa

Intro

If you come to our house you will see that my mum will make you feel welcome anytime she likes. My Mum also always has a nice friendly face that makes her somehow feel very special. She is kind and chatty and never really in a bad mood. She has a laugh and a giggle whenever you tell her a funny joke or do a prank. She is a very fashionable lady and always likes to be well dressed for everybody who sees her.

Physical

How she looks is simple, she is a very casual but a classic woman and she really only has two styles: One for round work and meetings, and one for round town and home. To start off she has short dark brown curly hair with highlights of light brown and black. She has a lot of sunburnt skin but also nice tan skin. She has greenish yellowish eyes with dark black eyelashes.

She wears dressy tops for work with stockings and black boots. But for home and town she wears dressy singlets with shorts or a skirt with sandals and a hat. Her legs are short because my mum is a very short lady, But she also has very tan legs. She also wears earrings with necklaces and bracelets, and sunglasses if it's sunny.

Traits

That way I think she is a fashionable moviestar because she always dresses the nicest. She is very casual sometimes, that means she isn't always the best at things. She is kind and always has a smile on her dial. My mum is the funnest person I have ever met and I don't think she has ever been selfish to anyone. She is a crazy and interesting person to meet. She's generous and supportive to me and my family and to anyone else that comes along.

She has time for others and she is very helpful and active. My mum is extremely friendly and always gives a high five when you need one. She is the luckiest Mum that I know and she will always be there when you feel left out or sad. The best thing about her is that she is a laugh and she is a great Mum!

Actions

My Mum amazes me everyday I'm with her. She makes the funniest jokes and dances around me. Also she makes every moment a great moment as my mum! My Mum would never be afraid to do anything that she wanted to do. She makes me laugh at something that usually isn't funny. My mum learnt the simple things in life and she makes every time with my mum worth it!

Ending

My mum is the best person you would ever have seen, and now that you know a bit about her you will also know that she is the best mum that you would ever know and she will make you feel welcome anytime you come to our place. And that is a bit about my mum and I love her just the way she is!

Maths Table Demonstration - Week 11

I am blogging this because It was a fun task and I think I did really well at it.
I am blogging my Maths Table Demonstration

This is my Maths Table Demonstration. The whole point of this task was to prove you could do a graph. So the graph I did was asking people there favorite clothing and the color of it. We used a ruler and a pen or pencil.

Art work

I am posting this because: I put a lot of effort into this and it is my favorite piece of art.

I was learning to: Design a piece of matariki art and learn about the matariki stars.

Movie

I am blogging this because: I think me and Georgia did a really good job and we enjoyed doing it.

We were learning to: Work together and make a video to show our understanding of a part of the story. 

For our reading group we had to pear up with a buddy and use whatever thing we wanted to make. For an example a comic, Video or animation.

So I paired up with Georgia and we used puppet pals to make a video. If you would like to watch our video about Maui and the Jawbone click on the link bellow. 

Moment in time

Moment in time   

I was crawling through the deep dark hole in the cave. I could see black moving shadows of the kids in my classroom ahead. Little wetas were leaping above and below me. My torch was the only light I had, so if it ran out of batteries this could be over. I could smell the wetness of the mud sinking into the kids shoes. I could taste the wind and dust sneaking in to my mouth. I climbed and climbed until I could see fresh air and the sun lighting up the cave.

Then suddenly we stopped, it was like everybody in the world had just froze in that movement. Mr Ford said that we were going to have to go through a cave with bat poo in it! So in the end that was a shocker because it was the longest cave and you had to go sideways, so all through that cave we were holding on to bat poo.

Then the next cave was the weta cave, (It was just a little cave), but it was still pretty freaky with all those terrible looking insects. But I really wanted to get that weta cave over and done because Mr Ford said that the wetas can jump all over you. I don't know if he was joking or not about that part.

Finally we climbed up the dirty rusty brown ladder to a little dirt tunnel, and that was when we ended up back on the road where the minivans were to take us back to camp for lunch.  

Thank you letter

Dear Karl

Thank you for being our group supervisor for Masterchef. It was great to see everybody working as a team and showing heaps of teamwork in what we made. Also the bread fingers was a great ending idea. It made us win more points and they were really yummy things I had never tried before.

It was really fun going for walks such as seeing glow worms and the wetas in the caves. Another thing I noticed was that I have never been so interested in nature. Also seeing the waterfalls was really different. I didn't know we would see that.

I really appreciated you coming to camp because you encouraged me to get over some of the obstacles in the Confidence Course. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have got over them.

So thank you again for everything you did on camp. I really enjoyed all of the activities we did, I hope you had a great time too.

From Tessa

Swimming Reflection

(1) I need to improve on freestyle

because I need to practice breathing to the side and keeping my arm straight at the same time.  

(2) I really need to practice on backstroke because I am not that good at keeping my arms straight.

 

(3) I just need to get my legs going round and round for backstroke.

Here is my photo of me swimming.
