Art Term 4

This term we have completed two pieces of art.

One was inspired by an artist named Kandinsky who used coloured circles in his work.
We looked at the contrast between warm and cool colours and the black and white of the buildings.

Our second piece was using the Maori words we have learnt and using these to create a visual picture.
The words become the shape of the picture.

Some things I did well was making my building straight

One thing I could improve on is using my ruler correctly.

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.

My poppa buys me drinks and lollies.

He takes me to the park with Dominos.

Every Friday my poppa gets me Dominos and McDonalds
with my cousin, it is a girl we play on the park together,
on the swing.

Normally my poppa always comes to my house to visit me
and my mum.    

Here is a photo of my nana, Christopher and I on Greats and Grands Day.

Procedural Writing - Fortnite

In class, we have been learning to do procedural writing. This is my writing about how to play Fortnite.

Fortnite Rules

Equipment

I’m going to have to have  a ps4 Tv wifi power and controller charger.

Rules

Before you start, you have to make sure that the TV and PS4 are all connected to the power and WiFi.

First rule to play fortnite you just have to click x on the game to play if it says press x again and again then when your in you just have to press triangle then you’re ready.

When you get put in a game, you place your marker down then when you’re near your destiny you jump out of the battle bus then you skydive to your marker. You land on a house and break the house. When you see a chest, you open it and you get a gun and get a kill with a scar, a heavy shotgun and a rocket launcher. If you have  43 kills you’re like a ninja. When the storm comes in, it takes your health down and it only takes 1 damage then if there’s 1 person left and you killed him and you got a Victory royale, you are the winner and you just dance like doing the floss.

Crack the code

Today Tania came to teach about coding and how to use coding languages. We have done a

gingerbread man coding map. Here is my awesome gingerbread man coding map from today...

Some words I have learnt:

I am using computational thinking to code my gingerbread man. If I have a mistake in my programme it is called a bug and I need to debug my programme.

My goals are to help me learn what I don't know.

Repeated addition

We have been learning how repeated addition is the same as multiplication.

Term 2      Multiplication  Repeated addition   

Can you match the repeated addition equations with the multiplication equation.

Colour them the same colour.

1	2 + 2 + 2 =6	4 x 10 =	3 + 3 + 3 =9	3 x 2 =6
2	2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 =10	2 x 2 =4	5 + 5 + 5 + 5 =20	6 x 5 =
3	2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 =12	4 x 2=8	10 + 10 + 10  =30	2 x 5 =10
4	5 + 5 =10	3 x 10	2 + 2 + 2 + 2 =8	5 x 5 =25
5	5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 =25	4 x 5 =	2 + 2 =4	6 x 2 =12
6	5 + 5+ 5+ 5+ 5 + 5 =30	3 x 3 =	10 + 10 + 10 + 10 =40	5 x 2 =10

I need to work on working faster to do my 2x tables.

Write in the missing 2 and 10 x’s tables

1 x 2=2	2 x1=2	2x2=4	2x3=6	2x4=8	2x5=10
2x6=12	2x7=14	2x8=16	2x9=18	2x10=20	2x 12=24

I know my 2 times tables     👍

1 x 10= 10	2x10=20	3 x 10=30	4x10=40	5x10=50	6x10=60
7x10=70	8x10=80	9x10=90	10x10=100	11x10=110	12x10=120

I know my 10 times tables      👍 I need to get faster at doing my times tables

animal town

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 full stop.

I need to improve on not forgetting about capital letters

.

Here is my writing about Animal Town.

It feels good to be in animal town, but what does it look like? There's 8 animals on each side. These animals look nice to me, but why do they call it animal town? The lion looks weird lying on the roof. How could a giraffe fit in the van? The bird is colourful. It has blue, gold, black and shiny orange on the front of it. The granny koala hiding in the tree, climbing all the way up. It actually is a nice town after all. The sad zebra was walking sadly across the road and the animals were staring at it. I felt sad for it. The gorilla is sitting on the striped green chair, the possums were staring at the animals looking for a drive around. They are all colourful. The animals are under the Lions command.

The muscly gorilla and the fat bear are sitting in the yellow van.

Hot Air Balloon race

This week we have used a 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 the capital letters and full stops that I used.

I need to improve on using only one space instead of 2. We also made a google draw showing the things that we would take with us in on the balloon.

Bang! Bang! I got up and I packed my lunch. I put in Doritos chips, milk and a torchlight. I took Tyrell and Joel with me as my crew. When we were in the shiny, fluffy clouds, I almost got cloud sick. I was up high. We had to go around the whole world to Kerikeri and back. I was afraid of heights. I was too high up in the sky. I wanted to get all the money but I didn't win so the winning  crew shared the money with me. We all bought something. The other crew was nice to me and my crew.

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

Garden to table

Each week at garden to table we are either in the kitchen cooking or in the garden planting watering or weeding. I like to cook yummy food.

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.
