Raewyn Harris art work

This is my maori art work. I was inspired by Raewyn Harris. She is a teacher and an artist from Hawkes Bay. My art doesn't really look the same as her one, but I took some of her ideas and made it into my own maori art  work. From Raewyns art work, I drew the big leaf and most of the korus. I found this challenging at first, but then I found it easy. I really enjoyed doing maori art and next time I would like to draw samoan and tongan art.

Painting Poppies

This is a painting of poppies that I painted for Anzac day.

Perimeter and Area

In Math I have been Learning about Perimeter and Area. I remember that perimeter is like to measure each side of an object or a shape. You would use perimeter in maths or your everyday life.

I remeber that Area is the surface. Say I am moving my playground set I would have to use area.

I think that I at least have a good understanding about what perimeter and area are. But to get even better at this I need to keep practising this.

I got 2 green smiley faces on study ladder which means i got a score between 80 to 100.cf

Creating a dream garden

WALT: Create a garden using square units.

Today in maths,  Room 11 created a garden using square units. The reason for this was to understand the concept of area. First we had to plan on what we wanted our garden to look like. But first we had to realise that our pool had to be 20 units ( 20 squares), our Rock garden had to be 6 units, paving had to be 1 unit and the path leading to the pool had to be 1 unit as well. I found this easy math activity  to do because I understood what units were. In Today's math session, I learnt that pools can cost over 50 thousand dollars!!

Anzac Day

Yesterday Afternoon Room 11 planted white crosses to remember the soldiers that died in World War 1. Each cross had a soldier's name on it. My cross had the name PTE. B.E MERCER and he was the youngest to die at war at the age of 17.

Dear Mum and dad,

Hi mum and dad how are you? You guys doing ok? I miss you guys A LOT like crazy but there is a picture in my head of us together that will stay in my mind, and thankyou so much for all that you have sent me. I appreciate all the foods,clothing and all the sweets that you have sent me and I still have 8 more tinns and 5 chocolate blocks so that will last me a couple more days well hopefully.

The weather has been so BAD past these few weeks. There was a storm last night and out of no where, lightning bolts flashed in the night sky all kinds of colours appeared. It was so bad that we all got drenched even our clothes and our tins broke open so now there is tinned food splattered all over the ground and our mattresses and blankets, oh man don’t get me started with that. they are as hard as a rock! They got muddy and the sun dried up the mud so now we have to find water to keep in wet so that our blankets and mattresses can go back to normal. But yea the weather is fine now and were prepared for whatever strikes at us.

Also, one of my friends ( Brian) got really sick early this morning. He starting coughing and complaining that his throat was getting tighter but  I don’t know how or what it is but he is in a really bad condition and he has not woken up yet but he is in good hands because one of our nurses ( Elizabeth) has been treating him with medicines and is making sure that he does not have any kind of disease that could of spreaded. And another bloke ( Frank) broke his leg while digging and passed away a couple of days ago so we had some sad days but great memories.

Once again Mum and dad, thankyou so much for the wonderful foods that you have sent me and please send all my Love to the rest of the family, please pass on this letter to all my friends and I love you. XOXO

From your Beloved
