Cup Weaving 2016

This term we have been focused on weaving as our project, as shown below. This was made from some wool and a cardboard/paper cup. First you get a cup, then get the template below and draw on the rim of your cup wherever there is a line. Then choose some wool of any colour, rule down to the end of the cup. Then cut don the lines. Tie a knot in the end of the wool and put it down one of the cuts. Then start weaving in and out ,in and out. If you want to change the wool colours then simply cut it short tuck it in and tie a knot in the next type of wool and just carry on like starting over again.

I am poem

I Am

I am a girl who loves all animals.

I wonder if the world will end in my time.

I hear the wind whispering my name.

I see the clouds wrapping around earth.

I want a horse to care for and to have fun with.

I am a girl who loves all animals.

I pretend my bike is a horse galloping away.

I feel the sun’s warmth beam through me.

I touch the world with my heart.

I worry that there will be a third World War.

I cry when animal cruelty has been done.

I am a girl who loves all animals.

I  understand that no one is perfect not even myself.

I say be grateful with what you’ve got.

I dream that death didn't exist.

I try to do my best at everything I do.

I hope that the challenges that life throw at me don't break me.

I am a girl who loves all animals.

Grilled cheese on toast

The dreadful burnt-toast taste is like eating coal, it lingers in my mouth for hours. Its golden oily topping makes me gag as it slides down my throat. The sizzling popping noise is repetitive. The crunchy toast can be heard quite clearly.

The cheesy smell is easily mistaken for the cheese on toast to be a delicious meal.The golden melted cheese is a beautiful colour but the toast is not a great colour. Clear bubbles form in the warm dripping cheese. Burnt-toast crumbs stick to greasy fingers from the melted cheese. YUK! 

Zentangle art

Last term  and this term (term 2 & 3) my class has been doing zentangle for art with Miss Lyon and they turned out better than we thought they would. Instead of putting zentangle in the letter we dyed them red, green or blue or if we wanted we could multi coloured the pieces of art. 31.07.15

Ice-cream

Last week room four made ice cream it was fun to make and yum to eat when Tearoha Wyatt and I shook the bag it broke so we had to get another bag then finally the ice cream was made and it was time to eat. The ice cream was a bit salty at first and also milky but it was still yum!

making goop

  

Last week room four made goop it was was fun to play with but you can't eat goop its just for playing with and also very fun to make to. Wyatt, Tearoha and I made blue goop our goop when it was in the bowl looked like a solid but when you held it it  turned into a liguid and thats where the fun started. Also after we made the goop we had to do the dishes and clean the tables and the floor.

blue ducks

Blue duck is native to New Zealand and can ONLY be found in New Zealand.   They are a type of bird whose Maori name is whio, because the male makes a sound like ‘feee-o’.      They get their name from their grey/blue feathers which camouflage them against the rocks in rivers.

They are a dark slate grey and their beaks are a pinkish white. They have long wings. The chicks have short wings. They are yellow and black.

Blue ducks eat insects, worms and trout. They also eat fruit and alpine plants

Blue ducks live in clean fast-flowing rivers and nest in hollow logs,small caves which are rocky, and other sheltered spots. They live in central parts of the North Island the the west coast of the South Island and they rely on fast flowing rivers so they can’t be taken to predator-free islands.The blue duck’s habitat has been seriously affected by pollution and the hydro-power dams for watering paddocks and crops.   But the biggest threat to the blue duck is predators.  

Did you know blue ducks predators are only stoats , rats ,cats , dogs and possums.

Possums carry diseases but all the other predators just kill them.

The blue duck is on our NZ ten dollar note thats why the note is blue and that’s why the blue duck is so special to NZ.

climbing wall in invercargill

‘Ahh I’m finally down.  It wasn’t actually that bad after all’ I silently said to myself…    It all started on the second day of camp when we went to the climbing walls.

 I was so excited to go on the climbing walls but first I had to play squash, (but I’ll skip that.)

 The first climbing wall I tried was the big green steps or poles.  I only got halfway up when I had to go back down.  The steps were too tall for me (because I’m short you know).  So I jumped down and went to the next climbing wall that was the apartment building.  It had all different colours over it in squares.  At the top there were black squares and you couldn’t grab them because they were too thin to cling on to.  I didn’t get up to them.  I only got halfway up because the squares were too greasy and slippery.  So I hopped down and went to the next one.  In the end I completed four.

 ‘Ahh I’m finally down.  It wasn’t that bad after all’ I silently said to myself.
