😜😜😜

Hey, bloggers!

Lately we have had an art festival!
 Everybody in Waikowhai Primary School had to make an art piece to show in our hall on the different times for each night.

This year my class (Hauraki) did a bird painting to put into the show.

Our first show was on Tuesday at 6:15 pm, second was on Wednesday, the third is on Thursday and then Friday is the last show then we pack up.

We also did another thing. The structure of our rubbish house is made out of wood (The wood was recycled timber). Then we put plastic bags as the walls.
We were going to show it in the art show but it was raining hard out when the art show was on.
At the art show there were heaps of food!
But it was ALL for the grownups!!!😒😓

Here are some pictures.

Blog you later!

Blogging about the Zoo

                                                         ABOUT THE ZOO

When: 14th of June
Were: At Auckland Zoo
What: The Auckland Zoo was amazing! There were so many really cool animals there. 
Why: Because we wanted to learn new stuff about the animals at the Zoo

Who: The seniors of Waikowhai Primary School.
How: We went by bus.


On Thursday the 14th of June we went to the Auckland Zoo! We saw lots of really cool animals. At the Zoo we didn't see just non native animals we also went into the native bird area. We saw a NZ Wood Pidgin (Keruru). It was on a mans head!, (But he worked there.) My favourite animal there was the Otter and the Meerkat and the otter. The Meerkat was so cute and the otter, well we didn't get to see, but it is me favourite animal AT THE ZOO.  

My Owl Art

My Owl Art
To make my painting is...  Water strength, Cartridge paper and paint. ( The type of paint is Chromactryl)

1) I copied a native NZ Owl into my art book then I got a piece of Cartridge paper and copied it in a big version on my good paper.

2) After that I drew the background of my bird.

3) Then when I finished drawing the background I painted the background, I needed it to be my best! Then When I finished painting the background and it finished drying, I painted the bird. Ms Sands said that it had the be the most main part of the picture and it had to stand out of the painting.

 My Reaction to my work.

I like my painting because i think I worked hard at it and I was patient with it so it looks nice, but I do not like the eyes of my bird because they are badly smudged. I think what I can do to improve is to ask Ms Sands before I do anything to my painting. What I cant change but I would change next time is that I would change my bird to a different bird.

Here is my picture

After, Mrs.Sands said to find a friend to check your work and tell you their opinion.
This is my friends opinion....
Chimay: It stands out it has bright colours and it is big and bold.
Something that you should change next time is maybe the sun because there are white gaps in the yellow and maybe add more detail to the bird.

Overall I think that I did a really good job because I have never painted like that before.
But I could have never done it without help!

My Profile 2018

When Gerad came in Te Waka Ako for Cybersmart he taught us how to make a profile video for our blogs.  We are doing this so we can put this on our blog so that people can see what we like to do and like to eat and stuff, and to create a positive footprint. This is my video that i made...




Thank you for looking at my blog, please leave a comment.

Tiritiri Matangi Trip Questions

When we went to Tiritiri Matangi island. We learned lots about native animals, plants and any animals that are native to New Zealand. We stayed there from the start of 7:20 to 6:40 or 30. We all had a enormas emount of fun and laughter when a funny fact came up but at the same time we learned e bag full of new things about native animals on Tiritiri Matangi. When we came back to school the first day after the trip, we did inquiry and we made these questions...

My House learning

 W.A.L.T make our own house that with be in our future.

In my reading group at Waikowhai school we read a book and we had to make a future house that can stand up to big waves, earthquake's and lots of rain and wind. So this is my house that i made, but before you see it you must read this...

Katie's House info

Today in reading we had to make a house that would be safe in any natural disasters.

I made a house that is super safe because i listened to the storybook that could helped us, it said to have in a safe house   A system to water, a way to the main Rd and a beriar and some of our own things and i have all of those things! So my house is super safe.

This is what i made!

I think that i would do a floating house next time so it can float past the tsunami and all the bad stuff, and in the future there will probably be weird and cool magic stuff!
