Bye Bye Israel - Tui Art

Bye Bye Israel

Last week on Friday our family came back from Israel. It was really hard saying bye to all our family and friends, the delicious food, playing football at night, the giant pool, and of course the heat. But when we came back it was really nice to say hi to all our family and friends here and all the ups of living in NZ. It was hard from going from 40 degrees to 10 degrees but it was nice sitting by the warm fire and stroking the cats. So yeah, you could say I'm having fun in Israel.

Tui Art

Yesterday we had a reliever so we did some really cool art about the Tui our native bird. I always find it really hard to know where to start but after I start I usually roll through it. We could use our chromebooks to look something up and copy it but we couldn't trace it because, well, that's kind of cheating because you're not really doing anything. For the color we used crayon and for the background we had a choice, we could use watercolor which is what most people chose, or we could leave it plain white and 1 person chose that which is original. It was really happy with end result

because I don't normally draw and I think it looked pretty good.

Shais Resipy of Resilience

Yesterday I finished my reading project, (Shais Resipy of Resilience.) We had to make a recipe about who we are as a learner. Last week our teachers gave us a task that we had to complete and it was about us as a learner. Here's some images about my learning. Sorry if it's blurry, hope you enjoy😎

Dog Man - Reading Wheel

This week (and last week) we have been making reading wheels. We had to use our math skills of rotation to find out that 360 (1 full rotation) divided by 6 is 6 portions of 60 degrees each. Then we had to use a protractor to measure exactly 6 60 degree portions onto our reading wheel. I've been reading Dog Man by Dav Pilkey. On sector 1, 3, and 5 we used illustrations about our book. On sector 2, 4, and 6 we wrote about our book. After all of that we had to make a cover for our reading wheel. Did you now that half of 360 degrees = 180 degrees, half of 180 degrees is 90 degrees, and half of 90 degrees is 45 degrees. If you don't understand the picture at the bottom then I'll tell you now.
Radius: The radius is a straight line coming from one side of the circle to the centre of the circle.
Diameter: The diameter is 2 radies, or any straight line coming through the centre of the circle and touches both sides.
