Glitter Art

This is Kowhaiwhai art that I made by myself together with the class. Reuben Paterson inspired the Kowhaiwhai  art. I enjoyed my painting because I liked the colours and the paint because it makes the art look nice. I found it difficult when we had to glitter our Kowhaiwhai  art because we could only pick one part of our art to glitter.

A Haka Ma

In Maori room three we learnt a Maori song and it uses vowels. 

My favourite thing from my trip.

 This is my favourite thing from our trip to Howick Historical Village in week 5. 

Orienteering Week 1

On Wednesday we had Orienteering and Mr McGivern and Mrs Irene talked about reading maps. Mrs Irene gave us are paper and Mr McGivern told us to go and find the words, then we all ran around in the classroom and found all the words. We all went and gave them to Mr McGivern and he told all us we need to give the paper back, then Mrs Irene said we can go to the field and do some Orienteering.

On the field we had two lines and we all walked together. Mrs Irene told us to get our maps and our little paper and we needed to run and find the words we had on our little paper. We all went and found the words, then if someone finishes their words they needed to come to Mrs Irene. The bell rang and Mr McGivern and Mrs Irene told us that our time was up then we went and gave our little paper to Mrs Irene and we all said to Mr McGivern and Mrs Ieren “Thank you”.

I had lots of fun there then we went to our classroom and got our lunch and we went out and ate our lunch and played games.

Howick Historical Village

My favourite thing from our trip to Howick Historical Village was when we went to the big houses and there was Mrs Dodds. 

We played Squeak piggy Squeak and this is how we played. Tokilupe stood up and then Mrs Dodds gave the pillow to Tokilupe. Tokilupe closed her eyes and then Mrs Dodds told Tokilupe to go and put the pillow infront of someone. Tokilupe went and dropped the pillow infront of Oscar. Tokilupe sat down on the pillow then said "Squeak piggy Squeak" Oscar said "piggy" and Tokilupe guessed who it was. Tokilupe knew it was Oscar and said "is it Oscar?". Oscar stood up and did the same thing that Tokilupe did.

Oscar went to me and he dropped the pillow in front of me and he said "Squeak piggy Squeak". I said "piggy" and he said my name. That is how to play the game.

Tom & the Dragon

Tom and his mother lived together and Tom told his mother he wanted to go and play. Tom’s mum told him there was a big Dragon in the cave. He wanted to go to the cave and Tom didn’t trust his mother so Tom went to the cave.

The Dragon flew outside and he BBQ’d Tom but Tom had a knife, same with the Dragon. The Dragon put his knife in his mouth and they fought. The Dragon told Tom “NEVER FIGHT, EVER RIGHT, NEVER FIGHT AGAIN”.

The Dragon became friends with Tom and the Dragon made his fire on some bread and they had some tea, they were friends forever.
