Olympic Art 2016

This is my olympic artwork,  all of Room 10 searched on Google and picked an athlete, and saved it to our Google docs. My athlete's name is Cristiano ronaldo, but some people call him CR7 for short.

After we all picked our athlete Miss Hills made a new doc for us to paste our athlete in and write similes and metaphors, and these are the similes I came up with: The trophy was as shiny as a polished diamond, His hair was as spunky as Michael Jackson's and lastly His pride was as strong as Lionel Messi’s, and these are the 2 metaphors I came up with: His smile lights up the stadium and his time is money. Do you know which ones are metaphors or similes… Metaphors describe something without like or as and it is a direct comparison.

The main thing about my olympic art was the tessellations.  I made my tessellations with triangles that made hexagons, the triangle had to be 3.8 cm.  I tried my hardest not to make it budget but I forgot to rub out the pencil marks, but it was a bit too late.  Anyways the olympic values are…

• Excellence
• Respect
• Friendship

Drawing the triangles that made the hexagons were the hardest part, but my friends Philip, Musharraf, Turua and Benjamin just said “put the triangles in random places!”

Hong Kong S.T.E.M Challenge

Materials

6 long sticks

1 wooden square

2 pipe cleaners

2 straws

1m ruler

11 plastic cube

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base:

Challenge one was hard because we had to put one block as our base on the bottom. It always fell down but next time we will but light object.

Challenge #2 - Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size:

It was hard because the higher it goes it wobbles a little and because me, Darnell and Javahn we were all working on the same thing once and we did not work on talking to each other.

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

It was hard because the higher it goes it wobbles a little and because me, Darnell and Javahn we were all working on the same thing once and we didn’t work on talking to each other

It was hard because we kept knocking it over with our fat hands and because we kept on bumping the table with our hands.  This happened because Darnell banged the table with his.

Moment In Time Week 7

Today our teacher asked us to write a ‘Moment In Time’ piece using a picture of a boy in the water.  We planned as a class to make sure we had the 5 W’s and the 6 Senses.  

Before we began our writing in small groups we discussed the importance of using descriptive writing, using similes and metaphors where appropriate, using dialogue and have done our best to make sure our punctuation is correct.  Some of us have even used ‘Show Don’t Tell’ in our writing to provide our reader with more of an experience.

Our teacher gave us 10 minutes for each paragraph and then 10 minutes for editing at the end.  We had so much fun working together!

If you have a moment, we would love you to comment on our writing.  

Boy Overboard!

As Jack was fishing he caught a fish but it was to powerful for him so the fish pulled him into the sea.  The person that was driving the boat didn’t see Jack so he took of.  SPLASH!  Jack could smell diesel coming from the boat getting further and further.  Jack was panicking because he could see sharks crowding him, he was screaming for help “HELP HELP!

Jack was becoming one with the water.  As he was drowning he saw all kind of different fish looking at him.  He was even more terrified when he saw a whole group of piranhas.  The sharks was coming closer and closer to Jack.  So Jack tried to to swim but he couldn’t swim because he doesn’t like the water, so he passed out. He was thinking that he was going to die.   

Out of nowhere a megalodon had rushed to Jack and taken a bite out of his arm.  “AHHHHHHHH”! Shouted Jack.  Jack could see the blood coming out from his arm.  “PLEASE LORD PLEASE HELP ME”! Jack screamed while drowning.  There was a light coming from the sky.  going towards the boy.

Patrick:

What we done well was working as a team and talking as a team

Darnell

What I think I did well was help Kaleb and Patrick make some sentences.

Kaleb:  

The thing that I did well was when I was talking to my buddy when we were writing.

Matariki Reflection

Matariki is a time for reflection.  Yesterday we took the time with Whaea Toni we took the time  to reflect on our year and set a new goal.  Here is the goal I set:   

We made a Matariki star.  We used our algebraic thinking.  We had a pattern to follow:

                                                          1,2 and down 1 and up.  

                                              We repeated this pattern until we got the star.

The Matariki Festival

MANU TUKUTUKU

Me and my buddy Kisayah made this Manu tukutuku (Kite). We made this to celebrate Matariki, which is a maori new year.  They celebrate it with songs,powhiri,food and knuckle bones.

We needed materials to make the kite.  We used Toetoe,wool,Harakeke and a black piece of paper, to draw a picture.

We went up to Idoho st and say a karakia (prayer) and then we had to cut up the Toetoe.  We had to say a karakia because it shows respect.

Making the Manu tukutuku was really really hard to make.  The easiest part was measuring the Toetoe.

I couldn’t go to the matariki festival because I had rugby training.  When we were about to make the manu tukutuku I learnt a new word it was tikanga it means why we do what we do.

Me and Kisayah were totally working as a team because we had to talk a lot about who’s doing what.  The right side and the left side is the Toetoe and the fluffy bit is part of the Toetoe.

Eraia,Philip and Mya helped me.

Just in case you have no idea what matariki is it's the 7 sisters,they used to be evil. They tried to make the moari men starve to death.

Any ways.

Thank you Fafetai lava.

Purpose: Thank you note

Dear Jax

Thank you for coming to Rangikura school to share your opera show.

My most favorite part was when the salesman gave Nemo the position and he secretly said it was L.M.P, and the handshake.

I would really like it if you did another show like that.

My Duffy Book

 Hi these are my Duffy books. The avengers and Justice league vs Bizarro league. 
 The author of the avengers is by Chris wyatt and the author of Justice league vs Bizarro league is Michael jelenic.  I picked these 2 books because it looked interesting.
The avengers book is based  on the movie age of altron, also the Justice league vs Bizarro league is about the the real super heroes and then these super villains  dress up as superman,  batman,  wonder women but a bit crazy because the way they act.
Thank you sincerely Darnell. 

Harakeke

Purpose: Inform (share our knowledge and facts)

Here is some information about harakeke.  Harakeke is also known as flax.  Flax is often found in a garden.  Before you cut the flax say a karakia.  You have to say a karakia because I think your telling the grandparents that you are about to cut them.  Don't cut the harakeke in the rain.  You must  cut the harakeke when it’s not in flower.   When you are finished cutting the flax, the left overs must be cut up small and put under the plant to help it grow.   You can`t be messy, keep the space you are working in tidy.

https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=harakeke&rlz=1CAACAJ_enNZ681NZ681&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiRjOe0_P3LAhVirqYKHVzYBh8Q_AUIBygB&biw=1366&bih=633&safe=active&ssui=on#imgrc=PU3-EFpK2XdBYM%3A

The storiy about the harakeke is that the rito (baby) is in the middle and then the awhi rito (parents) are on the outside of the baby to keep the baby safe.  Also the tupuna (grandparents) are on the outside of the mum and dad.

About me and my family.

Over Term 1 I have learnt about my mihi and my whanagatanga, identity, manaakitanga, art how to 
share ideas.  My work is Samoan and Maori. 

Whanaungatanga means a sense of belonging to a group.  Manaakitanga is steps leading to whanaungatanga.  

Identity is where you live and what culture you are for example I`m samoan and I live in New zealand.  In the middle of my identity I have a samoan prayer.
