Things You Need To Know About Kawa Of Care

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about Kawa of care. Kawa of care is when you take care of your chromebook. Three really important key things of kawa of care is that when you are leaving the house you should remember to put your chromebook in a safe or locked place to keep it from getting stolen or damaged. Also when you shut your chromebook you should logout of your chromebook, so no one can get in to your chromebook. Lucky last when you first get your chromebook you get to choose your password or you are given one. You have to make sure that you remember it and you don't tell anyone. Because someone can easily hack into your account and delete all of your work. 

Do you do the kawa of care? Do you know what kawa of care is? Have you broke the kawa of care before? I enjoyed making a comic and learning new things. In my opinion I don't think any of it was hard. Next time I might do a screencastify explaining what do and what not to do.

Check Out This Great Symmetry ArtWork

In Te Ngahere we did symmetry we got some ideas to help us. We had to get two pieces of paper and cut them so we had squares. We also had to cut one of the triangles out. Then we write our names in block or bubble letters. We then outlined it with vivid and taped it to our squares. Then we cut it and then put it to the window and traced over it and flipped it every time we did a different triangle. We outlined with vivid again also in our letters and then we did our background and we were done.

Have you ever done symmetry art before? Do you think art is cool or fun?

I think symmetry is very fun and sore on my hand. The hardest bit was to 

Flip it every time we did a different triangle. I don’t know what i will do 

Different next time maybe use bubble letters and different colours. 

Mind Blowing Facts About Roy Lichtenstein and His Famous Pop Art

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about Roy Lichtenstein and his famous pop art. 

Here are some  facts about him;  He was born in 1923s in America. He got married on the 1st of November.  He died on the 29 September 1997 when he was 73. He loved two things comics and science. He put both of them together and made pop art. Lichtenstein made sculptures too. Lichtenstein is famous for his use of cartoon strips from american comic books which were very very popular in the 1950s. Roy Lichtenstein is a very famous artist. Lichtenstein was criticized for using very basic colours.  Lichtenstein used this dotty strategy to build colour and texture like a comic book

I predict in my drawing I am going to be using the ben day dots pattern and a few colours. 

Have you heard of Roy Lichtenstein before? Have you done pop art before? 

Class Trip

 On the 2nd of December my class Te Maunga went on our end of year class trip. We went to The Parrot Place, went to the park and had Dominos and to watch The Secret Garden because we read the book. The movie was so different from the book. First we went to the Parrot Place. But first we had to split up into 3 groups.  It was so cool we all got to hold lots of cute birds we also got to feed them. Then we stopped and had morning tea and played at the Parrot Place park before we headed off to the next place. After the Parrot Place we went to the park next to Mcdonalds and had pizza. My favourite is Hawaiian it is the best.  After pizza we walked to the movies. We all got a Ice cream and a fizzy drink.  My favourite part of the movie was when the father saw his son walking. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.

Crazy Measurment

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about measurement.  I learnt about measuring and weighing. I learnt how to weigh 600ml bottles. The brown paper bag from countdown holds 14.2 litres of water in the bag. My favourite activity was breaking bags because it was fun and interesting. 

Speed Cricket

 In Te Maunga we have been doing cricket. In cricket I learnt how to hit the ball. It wasn't just regular cricket it was speed cricket so you have to hit the ball and run as fast as you can to pass the bat to the next person. They put us in groups in one and twos. When the fielding team catches 3 balls when the batter hits it they quickly swap and the fielding team is now batting. If they miss the ball you put the bat down but you still have two more bats left.
