Art

 Kia Ora readers welcome back to my blog. I hope you are all doing well. Today's blog is relating to our last art class which is today in period 2. In this blog, in our class, we worked on a project that took a few classes to finish, and finally, we made it. Our first step was to trace around leaves that were hand-picked from around our school environment. Our teacher then photocopied that and we then traced that onto some plain a4 paper. Mr. Colllins (our teacher)  then gave us the instructions to trace dinosaurs in our photo. We then used ink in our assignment. I know it may be hard trying to picture what I am trying to explain, but these photos down below will help. 

I would like to thank Mr. Collins for taking our class this year, and this is my first year doing art class. I have enjoyed it so far. Thank you Mr. Collings for helping us and teaching us a lot about art, I could have not asked for any other teacher. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time teaching art and other subjects. Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you learned something. Cheers!

Colour run

 Kia Ora readers welcome back to my blog, I hope you are doing well. Today's blog is relating to an event that had taken place on our school field. Every year our school takes part in something called the fun run, this is to raise money for kids can. Kids can is a charitable trust that helps many schools all over Aotearoa with some things some families can't afford, such as food, shoes, school uniform, and many more. This fun run is held to back their kind deeds. This took place on the 26th of November 2021. The years 7-10 all had a part in this fun event. The fun run is basically where we run with colored dye thrown at us and we go through obstacles, such as the water slide, bouncy castle, the hurdles, the cargo net, and many more. On this day we were told to come to school in a white t-shirt if we wanted dye thrown at us. Here are some of the photos that were take on the day :)

The teachers were all put into different stations, I really did enjoy this day because I got color thrown at me and I had to run with my mates. I also really did enjoy the target war, that was one that really did make my day. I also enjoyed the water fights I had gotten into. That day would have been one of the best days this year so far. I really did enjoy it, it was an amazing day, and the weather made it better. I would like to thank the teachers and kids can for the many kind things you have done for our school, thank you for everything. And thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, Cheers!

Myths and legends

                                       Myths and Legends

Kia Ora readers welcome back or welcome to my blog, I hope you are all doing well. Today's blog is about our reading period which is Hurumanu 2. In this period we are finishing off the activities that we were given to do after we read our journal. This journal is about Maui and his brothers slowing the sun. I had enjoyed reading this because I got to learn and read one of Maui's adventures. In this story, there are not enough hours in the day, and Maui and his brothers have to do something about it. Maui steps up and captures the sun. In one of our activities, we were told to make a poster advertising for someone to help slow the sun, I had used canva to make a poster. And the email and number are not real so please don't call it. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, I hope you all have a great day thank you! Cheers!

 Kia Ora readers welcome back to my blog, I hope you are doing well. Today's blog is relating to our art class, in this week's art class we had worked around information about Henri Rousseau, and we worked around some of his paintings. This week for our art classes we were given the instructions to name the different parts of the painting. And yes paintings do have specific parts, such as Foreground, background, Middleground, and repetition.

Foreground- the image that is close to you
Background- the information you see that is the furthest away in an art image
Repetition- Reapted use of the image of, shape, or color.
The middle ground-The area between the foreground and background.

Here is the work that I had done relating to the different grounds there are. Thank you for taking your time to read my blog, I hope you enjoyed reading what we had done in our art class with Mr. Collins.  Thank you Mr. Collins for taking our class. I hope you are all doing well. Cheers! Have a nice day!

Kiwi facts :)

 Kia Ora readers, welcome back or welcome to my blog I hope you are all doing great, today's blog post is about Kiwis. So we were given the task to read through a journal-Uncle Don Know's Heaps of Wacky Stuff and choose a topic to research about. This took place in our Reading Hurumanu. I choose to research kiwi's and I used canva to create a video filled with facts about the kiwi bird. I choose to research the kiwi because I was very eager to learn more about one of the most endangered species in Aotearoa. 

I enjoyed this period because I got to learn more about Kiwis, more facts about them and I learned heaps from this. Things that I did not know about kiwis, what they look like etc. Kiwi is one of New Zealand's most endangered species, so please we as New Zealanders should try our best to keep them safe.  Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, I hope you do learn something from my blog. Keep safe! Cheers! 

My Labour weekend!

                                     My Labour Weekend :)

Kia Ora readers, welcome back to my blog I hope you are all doing well. Today's blog is referring to my entertaining labour weekend. As some of you may know last weekend we had a long weekend, thankfully. I am going to be sharing with you some of the most enjoyable things I did with my family and friends. 

S-I had spent so much time with my cousins and my family, playing games, having dinner, staying up till the early hours, telling scary stories. I had enjoyed partaking in all the activities I was welcomed to. 

P-I was given the instruction to wake up early for our early morning walk which lead us all around Hagley Park. I enjoyed this because I got to catch up with my aunts and cousins. On the same day of the walk, we were invited to the Groynes for a family bbq. In this bbq, we took part in physical activities such as volleyball and touch. 

I-Something that I did to extend my knowledge would have been to learn new games. I really enjoyed this because I got to learn it from my friends and cousins. 

L-I basically enjoyed every bit of my weekend, I was with the people I love, and as you may know that spending time with the people you love is priceless. I had a wonderful sleepover and an amazing bbq at the Groynes. 

E-My emotions would have been, lively, happy, sometimes annoyed. Because for those of you who have cousins they were a little bit annoying. 

S-My success in my weekend would have been that I woke up early to go for a walk with my aunties and cousins. This walk was at 6am in the morning and we had gone to bed at 4am in the morning so I was brain dead half the time. 

Thank you for taking your time to read my blog, I hope you also had an amazing labour weekend. If you have anything to share please drop it in the comment box. Have a good day! Cheers!

                          The Tuatara 

Kia Ora readers welcome back to my blog I hope you are all doing well. Today I am going to be blogging about another topic from uncle Don knows heaps of wacky stuff journals. Although at this point I have been researching a totally different topic. As some of you may know the topic of my blog is the tuatara, the tuatara is one of New Zealand's endemic creatures meaning can only be found in New Zealand. The tuatara looks very similar to a lizard but is not, it is known to be the only living dinosaur alive. It is known for its third eye sitting in the top center of its skull. In this Hurumanu we were given the task to make a DLO filled with as many facts of the topic we had chosen. 

The tuatara comes from the Rhynchocephalia family that lived in the time of the dinosaurs. The name tuatara is a Maori word meaning peaks on back or spiny back. They adore cool weather such as lizards like warm weather. Tuataras can regrow their tails if it has been chopped off by a predator. Tuataras are found offshore and in the mainlands. I hope you enjoyed my blog so far, thank you for taking your time to read my blog. Don't forget to check out my other uncle don knows heaps of wacky stuff blogs. Hope you have a good one! Cheers!

What is a base?

Kia Ora readers welcome back to my blog, I hope you are all well today I am going to be blogging about what a base is in chemistry science. 

An acid is a substance that has a Hydrogen H atom that can react. 

For example:

*Nitric acid- HNO3
*Sulfuric acid- H2SO4
*Hydrochloric acid- HCl

A base is the opposite of acid and has OH (hydroxide) that can react. A base consists of oxygen and hydrogen atoms that are held together by a covalent bond. When an acid and a base react, they NEUTRALISE each other. 

 

What is an acid?

 3 acids:
Hydrochloric acid-HCl
Sulfuric acid-H2SO4
Nitric acid-HNO3

What is acid?
An acid contains hydrogen atoms that break off to react with a substance

Litmus color
It changes to a RED colour

Message in a bottle

 Kia Ora readers, welcome back or welcome to my blog, I hope you are doing well. Today our task was to write a letter in a bottle, we did not really get to put it into an actual bottle. I wrote this letter as a kid who wants to travel the world but can't because of covid. Then he/she puts it in a bottle and floats it down the lake that ends up in the ocean. This letter is a short letter just expressing how she feels being locked in because of the things that have been happening around the world. The writer also hopes he/she that the letter ends up in a kid's hand, giving the kid advice about being a kid. Not gonna lie but I think this letter is not bad, I mean I would really put it in a bottle and realize it into the ocean for someone to find. But there is a possibility that it would not get found. Although I hope you enjoy it, thank you for reading my blog. Have a nice day! Cheers!

Our favourite Olympian

                                                             Jerry Tuwai

Kia Ora readers, welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today's blog is relating to one of my favorite Olympians. In this blog/slide will be facts and what he's famous for etc. He is my favorite because back in 2016 I watched the 2016 rugby Olympics, that's when I first heard his name. Jerry Tuwai, I never heard of him till that point. From then one I have always remembered the only Fijian rugby player I know as Jerry Tuwai now the captain of the Fiji 7s team that competed and won gold for their home country recently. He has carried his team so far, spent 4-5 months away from family because of the virus that has been going around.

I am so proud to be from the island of Fiji, good game boys, and girls. Fiji bringing gold home the second time, amazing!. Although 4 years' worth of training really did make it worth it just to travel from a tiny country in the pacific to play the best of the best. I also give my appreciation to the Womans Fiji 7s team. All ups to you guys, winning bronze is not bad. You girls really did play hard. It was such a close game against New Zealand. Thank you to all of you who represent our home country, sacrificing your time away from your family.Vinaka vakalevu kivei kemuni na cauravou kei na goneyalewa, ni ko ni qito tiko vakaukauwa e kea me baleta na neimami vanua.

Olympics

 Kia Ora readers, welcome back or welcome to my blog. I hope you have all had a great week. For today's blog, I am going to be sharing with you some facts and things that we did relating to the Olympics. So for this period and a few periods back we have been given 4 pieces of puzzles filled with questions about the Olympics. We were instructed to fill out those questions with as much information we get off 6 task cards with facts about the Olympics. Since the Olympics started I have always been fascinated by how they can do it, the amount of power they have to throw that shot put, score that trie, or do that butterfly. We have also been reading about the Olympics in our reading Hurumanu. The Olympics really do fascinate me and one day I really hope to be on it. Here are some of the facts about the Olympics.

*The Olympic Games are held every 4 years, the Olympics were supposed to be held last year but due to covid, they moved it to 2021. 

*Tokyo already had an Olympic stadium for when they held the Olympics back in 1964, but they changed the stadium up a bit for the 2021 Olympics.

*The Olympic symbol is 5 rings linked together to represent 5 inhabited continents, Africa, Asia, Americas, Europe, and Australia. 

*The new sports that were added to the Olympics would be climbing, surfing, and skateboarding.

*The oldest record for the Olympics would have been recorded back in 776BC 

*The participants would participate naked 

*During the time of the ancient greeks woman were not allowed to participate and they were not allowed to even attend the Olympic games meaning they missed out on how much girl power women had. 

*About 2500 years ago the ancient Greeks would be playing games for fun, like the ones you play in PE but way more legendary. 

*The Olympic name comes from the city that was held in Olympia.

Hot chilli tasteing

 Aim:
I want to find out if milk will help reduce the burns of the hot sauce

Research:

Method:

Equipment-
*Hot sauce
*Toothpick
*Stopwatch (to see how long for the spice to burn off)

Instructions-

1. Get all of your equipment set
2.Dip the toothpick in the hot sauce.
3. Consume the hot sauce off the toothpick
4. Stop timing when it stops burning. 

Results- 
Hot sauce- Honestly it did not taste like anything at first but then a couple seconds later I could taste the burn, it really does burn when it goes down your throat. I swear it really does sting. Every time we have different liquids to resolve the burn. Here is the time it took those liquids to burn off the burns and stings, 

Cola- 1:40s for the burn to go away, with every liquid we all need to swell the liquid around.

Water-40s for the burn to go away

Milk- 1:30s for the burn to go away

Impasto Painting

 Kia Ora readers

Welcome back or welcome to my blog. For this class, our teacher and his class have started a new unite which is called impasto painting. What is impasto painting? Impasto painting is a technique of painting using thick paint, a stiff brush, and a pattle knife. You can see the brush strokes in the painting, the paint that you use has to be thickly textured paint. The impasto technique is very expressive. The painting below was painted by the one and only Van Gogh, Van Gogh is the pioneer of the impasto technique. 

Down below are some of the questions that we were told to answer using full sentences. That is the beginning of our unite and I enjoy doing art with Mr. Collins. Thank you for reading my blog I hope you all have a great day. Don't forget to go read more of my blog post. And come back to my page because they will be more post coming out. Thank you!

1. What does the word impasto mean? Look up the word in lexipedia.com, then type your answer here: The word impasto meaning a way of technique to paint, where paint is laid out in thick layers. Normally thick enough that paintbrushes and pallet knives strokes are visible. 

2. How can impasto brushstrokes express emotions? By the way, it lays over that thick paint and the technique that the brush takes over.  

3. Was Van Gogh one of the first painters to use the impasto technique? Van Gogh was one of the first to use the impasto technique.

Food#3- Baking powder- it tasted so bitter at the back of my tongue and I got surprised because halfway through it being in my mouth I knew I tasted it before.

Food#4- Salt- Tasted like salt, I had so much on my popsicle stick so I could really taste the flavour go down my tongue.

Food#5- Sugar- Tasted so sweet, I could taste the sweetness on my tongue, sugar was not as bad as the rest.

Music in the late dacedes

                                                  Music

Kia Ora readers, welcome to my blog, if you have not been on my blog this is where I post most of my work and achievements. This is another blog post about Music, if you have not checked out my other blogs make sure you go check them out. As I said this blog is about Music and which we have been working on for a few periods now. Our task was to make a presentation about the genres of music in the past decades. I choose to do this with a buddy, thanks Sadie. We recently got up to the 1960s. 

My favorite year would be the 1950s because I love the genres of songs back then and one of my favorite songs that I have heard before but had no idea what the name of the album is Elvis Presley-Hound dog. When it was played on the TV I could tell that I've heard it somewhere but I did not know who sang it. Thanks to Mrs. Allan and her music taste I found out who he was.  Elvis Presly known as an American singer who released his Album in 1956, the album is called Hound Dog. 

Throughout this class, I have learned the different genres of music, and artist that has released. I have learned more than I expected through this class.  Thank you so much for taking your time to read my blog, make sure to go check out my other blogs.

                                                 The Ukulele

Kia Ora readers welcome to my blog. If you have not been on my page, this is where I put all my work and achievements. For this lesson, we have been looking towards instruments and how to play them and we have been recently learning about them. This class is called counting the beat and it is Tuhura.In our recent class of counting the beat, we have been learning how to make music using the things around us such as chairs, desks, rulers, pens, etc. For this lesson and last week's, lesson Mrs. Allan had bought out some ukuleles for us to play and use, this week we are going to share with you some of the things we learned while playing the ukulele.

The ukulele is a smaller version of the guitar, it would normally have a wooden body with nylon strings, and holding those nylon strings would be a long wooden neck. They are different types of ukuleles out there made of different things. They are also different sizes of ukuleles. They are certain types of chords that go with the ukulele to be able to play it. Watching someone play the guitar and ukulele may look easy but for me, it is a little bit complicated. Here are parts of the ukulele.....

For this class, I have learned new chords of the ukulele and I have learned how to hold a ukulele the correct way. and That has been the end of our lesson, thank you for taking your time to read my blog, don't forget to comment if you learned something educational through this post. Don't forget to go check out my other post. Drop a comment if you have any fun facts or anything to say, thank you. I will be posting more throughout the last few days of this term.

Music

                                            🎶Music🎶

Kia Ora readers welcome back to my blog, for a few lessons we have been working on the topic of music, they are different types of music such as classic, pop, rap, opera, rock, jazz, country, and many more. Mrs. Allan Fletcher has given us the task to make music using the facilities around us. This was called stomp, stomp basically making music using the facilities around you. This helps you think more creatively and pushes you out of your comfort zone. 

We were all given the choice to choose the group to work in and work with, I worked in a group of 3 including me and my 2 close friends. Our facilities were a ruler, 2 pairs of scissors, a tissue box and a sit (stool). We all had to come up with an ORIGINAL beat. We all tried to join into the beat to make it sound on the beat and make it sound good. And yes I do admit that our teacher did help with like 99% of the time. Thank you, Miss 😊.

                                              Cup song
Hello all, with the subject of music, we were also given the task to learn the cup song, it looks so easy when people do the cup song but it's very complicated to learn it. It took me a while to learn the cup song, and it took me a while to stop doing it. I don't know why I was never taught the cup song at camp. There is a common rhythm that I followed. 

Thank you for reading my blog ;)
