Art landscape painting

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog today I will be talking about the painting I made in art. In art we have been working on acrylic paintings, more specifically landscapes.

Custom Magical Ice-Cream Advertisement.

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be talking about the fake ice-cream advertisement we had to make.  In literacy we have been reading the short story “Smart Ice-Cream” by Paul Jennings. In the story there is magical ice-cream witch can do anything. For our work we had to come up with a magical ice-cream and make an add for it.

Hockey Basics in P.E

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog.

Today I will be talking about P.E and the sport we have been playing in it. The sport we have been playing in P.E is called field hockey. P.E otherwise known as physical education is something a lot of schools do to teach kids sports and physical hobbies.

Lately in P.E we have been playing hockey. Hockey is a non contact sport witch you use hockey sticks to push the hockey balls into the goal. There are many positions like, goalie, defence, attack and mid fielders. There are a lot of hockey specific language like: mark, pressure, penalty, foot, and much more.

Out of school I play hockey in the position goalie, so this was quite easy for me. I still really enjoyed it and I got to teach others some of  my knowledge. It was pretty chill and we learnt all the basics. I hope we do it again next year.

Do you play hockey? and if you do witch position?

Passion Project Business and Enterprise.

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog, I hope you are doing well. Today I will be talking about my passion project this term, Business and Enterprise. For my Business I named it Beecals, witch is Bee (my nickname) and decals (another name for sticker) combined. I premade 151 stickers for market day today. I don’t quite know how many I sold but unfortunately it was not that much. The people who did buy stickers seemed really happy and I really enjoyed the actual process so I think it was overall really successful. I’m so very proud of myself and I hope to continue my business for the future.

Notan Art

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be talking about my Notan art. It’s a type of art were you work with negative and positive states. You cut out shapes from a black piece of paper and glue it on the opposite way on your piece of white paper. yo can make it look however you want and it looks really cool.

I found it quite hard because it’s not quite my median. I don’t quite think i want to try it again but tit was cool to come out of my comfort zone.

 

P.E Term 3 Throwing and Catching

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be talking about what we have been doing in P.E this past term. This past term we have been working on throwing and catching. With throwing and catching we have learnt games related to it like Netball, Basketball, Bench ball, Koffball and Much more.

To catch a ball you have to keep your hands like a w in front of your chest and keep them sturdy. To throw you do the same and you push the ball forward. To aim you keep your eyes on the target and then throw forwards to the target.

I really enjoyed it and I think I did OK but I did try hard. Everyone did amazing and nobody gave up and neither did I. I think I could have probably did better at my aim and one handed catches. I did do good in throwing with one hand though.

Watercolour

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to  my blog. Today I will be talking about my water colour journey. Lately in art class we have been learning about watercolours. We have been learning how to use them, like blending, desaturating the colours and making paintings. We have worked on making flowers using a picture for reference and how to paint it.  I made the flowers, Tiger Lilly and Viola. We also made a fancy line and coloured in the gaps to make art. Here is some pictures of my art.

 

Explanation Writing

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be talking about The water cycle. In literacy we have been doing explanation writing. For explanation writing we had to write about the water cycle. The water cycle is how water moves throughout it it’s lifetime. It all repeats for infinity.  Here’s my story:

 

The life cycle of water starts off with the water evaporating. Evaporation caused by the hot weather turns the water to another state known as gas. Once it evaporates the water generates into something called condensation otherwise known as clouds. It then rains, snows or hails down upon the ground. It then hits the ground and is then gathered through the sewers and the drains to a different large or small body of water.in this following explanation it will be expanded upon.  

First the water starts off by rising up into the sky after evaporating. Evaporation is affected by the temperature surrounding it. If it’s warmer it’s more likely to evaporate or boil than freeze or become cold. And if it’s colder it’s more likely to freeze and way less likely to evaporate, in fact it’s almost impossible. While evaporation the water goes to a different state known as condensation or gas. Condensation as you may call it, clouds. 

The clouds can be any types like, cumulus, cirrus, stratus or anything else. The clouds which on average weigh 1.1 million pounds or 498951.607 kg is where the water may crystallize.  If it may happen the water might crystallize and it would turn then to hail or snow, it depends. Once it rains, snows or hails it then gets collected. 

Water once it rains or melts it gets collected through drains. The snow or hail before going through the drains will need to melt back into water, its original form. Once it makes it to the drains and into the sewer it is then redirected to somewhere where it will be cleaned. Once cleaned it is then distributed to different places: the oceans, rivers, lakes, houses or buildings. 

The water cycle is the lifecycle of water.  Firstly it evaporates into condensation or as we call it, clouds. In the clouds the water may crystallize into snow or just stay the same. Once it rains or snows the water is collected through the drains or is already in a body of water.

The Bunny and the Porkupine

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be showing you my story. For literacy we have learning who, what, when, where, why, how. We got a picture and had to write questions about the story. Once we did the questions we wrote a story about the picture. I chose ‘Animal Olympics.’ Here is the picture and they story.

Early morning in the sweet Alabama breeze the stadium was being set up. The wind blew and the sun slowly rose. 

“Hey Jolly Ranchers, where is the other mat for the pre-workout training?” asked worker #1 as he was searching through the shed.

“Firstly my name is not ‘Jolly Ranchers,’ and secondly it’s not here,” replied worker #2 coming to the shed to check.

“Okay Jaw Breaker I  guess they’ll just warm up on the high jump mat.” Said worker #1.

*Sigh* sighed worker #2. So they got back to work without a second thought. 

A porcupine named Bobby McBoberson went to warm up on the green mat. Nothing big. He climbed on the mat and started to do push ups, good for the upper body. He was working hard and keeping well focused on what he was doing. Then on the speaker, that he was “totally listening to”, there was a call for high jumper #12386. #12386, who was a bunny named Mr Smiggles, went to his starting point. His legs went into position, and his eyes gazed up at the bar. He started to run as fast as he could. Ecstatically, he leapt above the bar. The bar was set to 5 m, an all time record. As Mr Smiggles looked down he saw this humanoid piece of poop. Oh no! It was Bobby McBoberson doing his warm up. 

Mr Smiggles fell onto Bobby McBoberson, the blood exploding into the air. The ambulances were called immediately and the paramedics came to separate them. The concerned and shock on peoples faces was horrific. It was the dumbest mistake ever made in the Animal Olympics. 

After the animals were separated they were taken to the hospital. The high jump had to be cancelled due to the crime scene around the only mat. The animals that suffered the injuries were luckily okay after a few months, and were cleared to go back into full time sports. However, this was an interesting experience due to the workers being dumb, as it was their first Animal Olympics.

Why is Hydro-Electricity so important to NZ

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be answering the question ‘Why is Hydro-Electricity so important to NZ.’ For social studies we have been learning about hydro electricity in NZ. Now time to answer the question.

There is many reasons first off is dams have already been built they are made and to big to abandon. The rain fall is so big that using this is a great for renewable energy. The fossil fuel is to expensive and not enough in  the world right now. Lastly the percentage, the amount of water energy we use is about %60 it is to much power to give up on.

here is a drawing I made of what a dam for hydro electricity  may look like:
