The End to Our 3 Way Focus

 You might be wondering what the 3 way focus even is, but you'll soon find out. For our inquiry, we focused on Little Blue penguins, or kororā) Now the name 3 Way Focus, was because there were 3 options you could choose from. Making a diorama, picture book or the option that we choose, a life sized drawing of a species of penguin.  Me and ella, (my friend), wanted to have a challenge. So we asked my teacher, Koka Rozie), if we could make our pinguin 3d, AND make it out of rubbish. Because our teacher is so open minded, she let us. Now, the penguin Ella and I got was... the Adelie penguin. 

The materials we used were, chip pacigas, news paper, hot glue, garden weed coverer, bottle caps, paint, and tap.  There will be a photo  of it underneath.   

 

The new Sewing club!

 

So two days ago Koka Ngaire started this sewing group for LTP, (learning through play.) Room 1,(my class), room 2, room 3 and room 4 are the classes involved in LTP. Room 1 is Koka Ngaire's room, and she does sewing and Knitting. Room 2 is Koka Rozies, and she is letting us create all of these different creations with harakeke (flacks.) Now last, but not lest  Koka Leahs, and Koka Brodies group . They take a group out to play games and do P.E.

I LOVE Koka Ngaires group because you can make whatever you want, and how ever you want.  Also the vibe is just so nice to be around. Everyone has really kind and helpful feedback and so that made it really easy to work.  I made a school skirt with pleats, but I haven't finished yet.  I'm so excited to finish it and show it to my friends. 

Purako Day!!!

 Hello yesterday we as a school had a day off leaning and a day in the gardens. I was super excited for this day. When I first found out I was at enviro group, (which is basically a group that works in the gardens.) Koka jodie said that each class would have the day to work or improve their airer. My class airer is the class gardens aka the vegetable garden.  Koka Ngaire said that we were going to dige up the kumara and make sines that would point to the other class's airers. Like the orchard,compost,bee hives,shade house and the medicine garden.

I came to school at 12.30 because I was at inter school cricket so I didn't have the best of ideas on what to do. So I got to business. I asked Ella Rio and Charlotte A if I could be in there group to paint and design the medicine sign. They were very nice and let me in their group. We started to paint and I was so grateful I could be doing it.

So I was so happy that could be stuck in a the work and do my part in the class garden. I loved painting and designing the sign with my friends. Hopefully me and my school have done enough to get green gold for our school:/             

Hand Art

This is how mine turned out.

 

My Hauora cube

       My Hauora cube 

Hi I am Te Atawhai. I am in room 4.  Recently I have been learning how to make a 3D cube . 

I made my cube 9cm wide and the same in length. It was hard to do all of the measurements.

  I new I was successful because it looks like a 3D cube.  I enjoyed it though a lot.

 This is a photo of it.

Haiku art

Hi I am Te Atawhai.  In term 2 I did some Haiku art about matariki.  I did my haiku art about a maori legend.  It was difficult to draw the faces of the  people.  I drew a man and a women.  I learnt that other countries have  different aspects of matariki . This is what I wrote

 As they did there hair. 
The sound of beautiful noise, 
They could not resist. 

I know I was successful because I had 5 syllables the start.  

7 at the middle and 5 at the end.

I think i did a good picher.

Tell me if you think it is good in the comments.
