Greats and Grands day

Last week we had our Greats and Grands day. We wrote poems for our grandparents. Here is my poem about why my grandparents are so special.

They are kind and careful.

They are helpful.

They are joyful.

They are playful.

They are special.

They are very aware if you hurt yourself.

They give you stuff your parents don’t give you that you are allowed but parents don’t allow sometimes.

Kauri art

This is how we did our Kauri art. We made our background with a blue coloured dye. We had to use a grey or white crayon underneath the blue dye to make the clouds to dye over. Next, we made our trunk. We finger painted it. I used brown, black and white for my trunk, then we did the leaves. We used a hard type of paper and ripped bits off and glued them onto the top of our tree trunk to make the leaves. Then we made slogans to glue on our trees to show people what they should be doing to protect Kauri trees.

Here is my Kauri slogan.

kauri tree writing

The tree leaves float around in circles

leaving white trails through the wind.

The roots grow from the ground to the tree,

its strength and power to grow higher and wider.

These kauri trees should be loved more

than how they are loved now.

By Tristan.

Animal town

“ This seat must not be revealed to the world.” I said. I am a big orange orangutan that likes this This week we have used another picture as motivation for our writing. We had a story starter and then we had to carry on the story.

What I like about my writing is that i humans invading there land.

I need to improve on that i need to write a story not just the animals talking.

Here is my writing about Animal Town.

comfortable seat I don’t think i'm meant to sit here though It says VIP only seat wow seats are really rare in our animal world but cars they cost animal dollars animal dollars are known to humans as money for them money Is rare but for us It’s uncommon my name is bow the orangutan.

“I don’t know where to go so I’m just gonna walk to the van for a ride”. I said.  “You big monkey ape thingy you are too big for this thing!!” shouted the lion. “We don’t want monkey thingy's here,” said the sloth slowly crouching down into his hatch.

“Let’s drive this thing to the moon,” I said. “But we can’t that’s impossible to do,” said the sloth. “He can’t do that anyhow he’s not aloud in this van he’s too fat! For this hunk of metal”. said the parrot. “Squawk! Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!” said the parrot.

“Oh come on this can’t go to the moon!” I said. “Yes it can’t go to the moon,” said the lion. “Then can it go to the sun?” “No it will burn us to bread crust in one minute OK!,” said the sloth and the lion. Then the lion went sprinting down the road to get his animal car.

Lion came back with his animal car with weird shaped towels named clothes. “I don’t think he is cool with those weird shaped towels on,” said the parrot. Since I’m an animal I can do anything except for swimming because I’m too fat to float on my own. “Humans are invading our territory, get cover!” “Quick hide guys we don’t want to end up in something called a cage or zoo thingy,” quietly whispered the parrot. And the parrot slowly sneaked across to its home. “I hear dinner!!”  shouted the human. “Why can’t we use my animal car?” asked the lion. “Nope we are going to hide we won’t just run out of here! They will see us uh i think they heard me,” said the sloth. “I hear a sloth,” said the human. “Yup they heard you, next time just whisper.” I said. “I also didn’t know that humans existed this is my first time seeing one of these creatures,” said the sloth. “Guys this sign is a lie this is an animal free place,” said the human. “Um there's a lion in the van looking at us furiously,” said the three brothers. “Anyways why would we wanna eat a sloth if there was one or a lion, that’s just wrong.”

Pou Art

As part of our writing programme we have been doing environmental writing. We had to sketch an object and as we were sketching we wrote down thoughts that we had. Then we wrote our thoughts down  as a poem. We cut out the sketch and added this to our writing.

Handwriting sample

We have been learning to form our letters correctly and to use capital letters in the correct place.I am good at my size of my letters.I need to get better at forming the letters correctly.

Self portrait art

We have been working on using different art techniques to draw our faces. We have used sketching pencils to sketch our faces, making sure we made our facial features an accurate shape, size and putting them in the correct places.

We learnt about Picasso’s style and made our own funky Picasso portraits.

Swimming

We have been working towards becoming a confident swimmer by learning how to be a safe swimmer. We learnt that we should always swim with an adult and to always wear a life jacket when we are on a boat. At our swimming lessons we have learnt how to float, kick, glide and use rainbow arms and we are still learning to breathe correctly.

Garden to table

At Garden to table we would plant food and then the some of the people at the kitchen would go to the garden and collect the loot of veges. We also weed the garden so weeds won't take over our area of veges and plants. It's a hard job when it's hot. I really like garden to table.
