Te Huarere

For this Summer Learning task, our two main focuses were... Te Reo Maori, and the weather. For a start we had to complete a deck of slides full of questions and activities, all about pronouncing "What is the weather forecast today?" in Maori and answering that question. Afterwards to Step It Up, we were asked to create a screencastify. So, without any further to do, here is my screencastify and deck of slides... 

What is the weather like where you live? Today, for me we had rain, cloud and sun!

Sunny, Sunflowers!

Mrs Fisher, a teacher at my school who teaches year 1's & 2's planted some Sunflower seeds around our school with her class. Over the past couple of weeks they have bloomed into bright yellow healthy flowers. Mrs Bennett, my teacher took my class out to take pictures, pencil sketches and write down ideas and details about them. After we had done the planning we came back to our classroom and painted them, for my sunflower it took a couple of coats of paint to get the perfect brightness of yellow. After we had painted them I added some details with pastel. We got the option of using dye, watercolour or paint for our background, I chose to paint my background with dye. Here (above) is my work. We also did a small piece of writing with our art which I will be creating another blog post about. 

First Step...

If I was Neil Armstrong,
My first step on the moon would feel magical, incredible as I would know that I was the very first one, the absolute first one. I would feel strong and powerful! But, not only was the step a big moment, the ride in the space shuttle to get to and from space, would be a big moment, something could go wrong at any moment. Neil is an incredible person, and must of been very brave! He is a very admired person by American's and admired from other countries around the world. His 3 children must have looked up to him as well.
