NASA Edition Colouring Book

Kia ora bloggers,

I registered for the summer learning journey and it goes from 2021 - 2022.

After I registered for the summer learning journey I did the NASA edition colouring book. 

I chose to do the space shuttle landing.

I found filling in all the little bits tricky.

I enjoyed colouring it in and trying to match the picture.

Next time I would change the colours I chose.

Rongoa sign post

Kia ora bloggers,

For reading we were learning about medicinal plants called rongoa. 

Rongoa are plants like harakeke that can help people recover from wounds and sickness. 

We had to make a sign and choose one rongoa medicine to write about. 

We had to write how it can be used as medicine and how to turn it into medicine.

I found it tricky deciding what plant to choose because they all looked interesting to write about. 

I enjoyed looking for facts and information about rongoa. 

Next time I would change the way I put it into my own words.

Art portrait

Kia ora bloggers,

For week one art we were learning how to mix a skin tone.

Firstly , we had to put an image of ourselves into a laminating pouch and trace our body.

 

Secondly, we used acrylic paint and mixed it into our skin tone and colored on the inside of the laminating pouch. 

Thirdly, we colored our T-shirts and eyes. Lastly, we put some card inside the laminating pouch and glued our name onto it

I enjoyed making my skin tone because if I knew how to mix colours, I could be a better artist when older.

I found mixing the skin tone and using the right colours.

Next time I would change how I did my eyes.

Here is an image of my finished artwork.

Service poster

Service poster

Kia ora bloggers,

For Religious education we have been learning about service. We were learning about service because it is the term 4 value. 

An example of service is like someone saying "do you need help" or donating things that you don't need anymore to to the poor.

I had to make a poster about service. We had to include what service is and maybe animate our poster.

I enjoyed animating my poster and learning about the value of service.

3D Shapes

For maths we had to learn how to draw 3D shapes.

We had to draw a cube, cone, pyramid, cylinder, and a rectangular prism. 

We had to make one of each shape non-transparent and one of each shape transparent.

I found shading in the 3D shapes tricky. I enjoyed drawing the shapes and making them 3D.

Calendar Art

For Calendar art this year we were doing geometric NZ native birds.

I chose to do the native kingfisher. Firstly, we had to print an image of the bird we wanted to draw and trace the image on a window. 

Secondly, we drew geometric shapes inside the bird, and then shaded them in.

 

Thirdly, we coloured the the background using dye. 

Lastly, we outlined the bird and the shapes inside.

 

I found tracing the bird on the piece of paper tricky. I enjoyed shading the shapes on the inside of the bird.
