Calendar Art

 For Calendar Art this term we did Kandinsky Circles with a silhouette on top. 

I chose to do a silhouette of a fox sitting on branch. 

THE PROCESS:

1. First we practised the designs that we wanted to have on our final piece of art.

2. We started our published art

3. Designed our silhouette 

4. Drew and cut out our silhouette

5. Glued on our silhouette

We had a lot of fun making our calendar art! 

Here is my finished art! 

Muesli Balls

Hey Readers,

We have been planning to make muesli balls for athletics day to keep students going.

 We had to think of a company name and make a logo. Our company name is The Healthy Habit Jr's. 

The process we went through was:

Designing a logo

Came up with a recipe

Added toppings

Designed a box 

Made a box

Decorated the box

Made the Muesli Balls

Boxed the Muesli Balls

This was a really fun process. I enjoyed making the recipe and deciding the toppings. 

It was challenging Making the box and deciding the special ingredients.

Bye Readers.

New Zealand Army Band

Yesterday afternoon part of the army band came to our school.

Watermelon Sugar, Savage Love, Let it go, Arabian Night and a couple of others. 

They are really good at playing their instruments. Underneath is a video of them singing Savage love, make sure you check it out! 

How to make a quality blog post!

Today I made a comic about how to make a quality blog post. I enjoyed making my comic because I had a lot of fun but specifically I enjoyed choosing the characters outfits and choosing their speech. It was challenging deciding which backdrop to use and where the characters were going to be position.

Bye Guys!

Strand

 Today we made a slideshow about cups that we used to measure water. It was challenging creating the table and estimating the cups capacity. I enjoyed pouring in the water and writing the correct answer. Here are my slides.  

Describe A Moment In Time - Swamp

Hey Readers,

For the past few weeks we have been writing Describe a Moment in time,

to prepare ourselves for our writing e-astle at the end of the term.

This week we had to write about some tourists' who were paddling 

down a swamp in a canoe.

It was challenging thinking of what they could smell.

I enjoyed thinking of adjectives and phrases.

Here is my work:

Writing - Mini Lesson - Metaphors

 Today with Miss.H we learnt about metaphors, it was our mini lesson for this week. I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing a metaphor for the pictures. It was challenging thinking of a metaphor for the grass. Here is the slides that we had to look at. The work is at the end. You can make a copy and do it too.

Similes

Today we did a Mini Lesson about similes. We had to Think Pair Share a couple of times, then we had to make a sentences about it. This was very fun. Here is the slides that we had to use:

🥤 Agree or Disagree (STRAWS Version) 🥤

For reading we have been discussing our opinions about STRAWS, plastic straws in particular. Yes, I know what your thinking "Boring! Straws I am not going to continue reading 😝 "  

but I a sure you it isn't boring, its actually quite perplexing,

but I am going to get into that in another post. Today I'm talking about the work that we had to do for it. 

We had to agree or disagree with 2 opinions.

 One was a lady talking about how its so much easier to use plastic straws than carry 

around reusable ones and that disabled people need them this is very true.

The other opinion was a man saying that they should be band and 

stop being manufactured.

I think that both of these opinions have good points so I'm in the middle of these opinions.
