Maori God Art

Hi Bloggers!
This week we are working on drawing a Maori God for Te Reo Maori. The God has to look a bit like a God but it is your Imagination. When we have finished the design of our God we will make a better copy. We had the choice to chose out of 

1. Tane - God of Nature
2. Tangaroa - God of Ocean/Sea 
3. Rongo - God of Peace and Architecture
4. Haumia - God of Uncultivated Food and Wild Food 
5. Tu - God of Man and War 
6. Tawhirimatea - God of Wind and Storms.  

I chose to draw Tawhirimatea. I decided to make mine a mixture of Thor and Tawhirimatea because I guess he is the God of Storms and there is lightning in storms. 

 I tried to make mine look like a Maori God so instead of a hammer I chose a hook. 

Here is my work in progress.

School CAMP!

Hey Bloggers last week we had camp!

Leading up to camp

I was so exited when I woke up in the morning I was like the speed of lightning getting ready because I was so exited. We had to get to school by 7:30 because the bus left at 8:15
First of all to get ready we had to ...

1. Make sure we had all the gear. 
2. Pack all of it in to our suit case. 

I felt very exited and scared at the same time of falling in case I fell on my bum.

It took me a bit of time actually figuring out that were going to camp because we were just talking about it until that day. 

At Camp

As soon as we got to The Crossing we unpacked our bag and had dinner.

That night for dinner we had sausages and garlic bread My favourite was the garlic bread. At bed time we talked for five minutes  and told spooky story's.  

After we were ready to go to bed we got to go into the games room. It had a pool table a table tennis table and a hidden movie room Inside a cupboard. There were couches and a massive TV and bean bags.

Snow!

We woke up at six in the morning to have breakfast and get ready to leave for Mt Ruapehu!
I had cornflakes for breakfast then we got into our hot snow gear. After that we assembled into our groups. We were group pink.
This camp was at Mt Ruapehu where we learnt how to ski and snowboard. We got the choice  and I decided to go snowboarding. We picked it up in a couple of minutes. After our lesson we got free time on the slopes which was my favourite part!

You Should GO!

If you are a year 3 or 4 reading this make sure to consider telling your teacher to think about going to the snow because it is AWESOME! If you don't have enough money try to save up because it is worth it.

Camp Feelings

CAMP!

 This year for our school camp we are going to Mt Ruapehu! We will get to go skiing or snowboarding. Here are my emotions.

I am feeling worried because I will stay up too late and won't go to sleep so I wont have enough energy to go snowboarding 😢 😢 😢 😢. 

I am also very excited because we get to go snowboarding!!!😄😄😃😂.

I am very excited to be going in the same room as my friends and I get to have a double sleepover sort of.

I think the most thing that will worries me will be going snowboarding because I will probably fall of a lot!

I will gain much more confidence by going to the mountain because I will be away from my parents.

I think I will feel GREAT! because it sounds like a really fun thing to do well It is.

Squash

Hi bloggers! This term we had squash for our kiwi sport. For those who don't know what squash is, it is where you use a racket and you hit it on the wall to your partner. You start of with a serve that you have to get between two lines. After that your partner has to get it and hit it back, then basically you keep doing that until someone misses the ball that gives you opponent a point. 

We got to do championships and see who could do the longest rally with their buddy. Our team got a score of thirty-two and wrecked everyone in our class. We were split into two groups. The other group were doing hand eye coordination skills. Overall I loved doing it was really fun. 

 At the end it was Miss Daly, our Teacher, playing Faris, my team member,

and Miss Daly WON!

Mud Run

Last Term we had a Mud Run, I think you know what a Mud Run is because of the title you basically do a run in mud. And trust me it sounds fun but you will regret it because you get SO muddy it is not fun. At the start there is a dance to get warmed up and the person running it is a Clown! There are spot prizes at the end, and you all get a bottle of Loaded. Over all it was a fun day for some but, not me just a warning.

Litter Blitz

Hi bloggers for the start of Term three. We went on a Litter Blitz. A Litter Blitz is an event where you pick up rubbish. You may be thinking - yuck you wouldn't want to do that! Well there is a catch, the organisation hid six golden tickets and they were all over the street where we were looking for rubbish. If you found the golden ticket you got a prize. After that the environmental group went back to order the rubbish and to weigh the bags. There were lots of newspapers and a few weird objects. Someone in our class found $20 dollars! I felt great. It was a good idea to pick up rubbish because there was a lot of rubbish everywhere. Here are some photos.

       

Reading

Hi bloggers. Throughout term two and term three we have been reading a novel in reading time. We have different tasks to do with them, including comprehension questions, describe maps, and more. The novel that I am reading is called A Friend In Paradise by Des Hunt. It was very interesting! It was about a boy who would risk his life to save one species. But I won't tell you much more or else I will spoil it.

As part of my work, I had to do a describe map about Robbie in the book. A describe map is where you write all about you character. Here is the Link.

 We also did two comprehension questions. Comprehension questions are a set of questions about the book you are reading. Here is a link to both of the comprehension questions.
