My Favourite Toy (=

In school this term our topic is "TOY STORY". Our class had to animate and write something that describes what our toy is, what it looks like and other stuff such as where we got it from and when we had it. Above is my animation of what my favourite toy looks like and what it name is... ENJOY (=

Kiwi Kick Session

Walking through the breeze a bunch of leaves blew between our legs, “yes kiwi kick here we come” I said in my head.

Every Thursday for 5 weeks our class room 22 and 20 go out on the hard court in front of the junior classes for Kiwi Kick to learn new skills and drills for this term.

Throwing, kicking and passing the balls around we continued to do our skills and drills with the professional coaches. As part of the skills and drills we learned and practised  how to drop punt, aiming then kicking and  how we hold the ball.

After learning what and how Kiwi Kick is like we got a opportunity to play a little game of octopus but using the hand pass technique, altogether with the other class, room 20.  Playing octopus in a big group was abit hard.

Although I felt nervous knowing that we had to play Kiwi Kick, at the end of our session I felt awesome.

The Olympic Flag

The Olympic flag (:

Have you ever wondered about what the rings on the Olympic flag symbolizes? The founder of the Olympic games, Pierre de Coubertin first presented the Olympic flag in Paris, Congress in 1914. It is a symbol to memorialize 20th Anniversary of the modern games. On the flag the five rings represents five continents. On the Olympic flag there are six colour, they have meanings for each colours ( the five continents).    

Life Education

Life Education Caravan.

For three days our class, room 22 had a half an hour session in the life education caravan. We learnt about parts of our bodies and different kinds of systems we have, like the circulatory system where the heart is from. What I enjoyed in the caravan was  seeing where our body part are and hat it looks like.


Unfortunately our sessions are over.

Artistic Styles

Fauvism is a used by French artists. The style of fauvism is painted and is known with intense colours and vigorous brushstrokes. Fauvism became more popular from 1905 to 1907. 

Fauvism means “wild beast” in French because of the unusual boldness of their styles. By about 1907 some artist that used fauvism changed their styles of painting. They had been influenced throughout Europe .

in order to do fauvism u will need to squeeze out bright colors straight out of a tube of paint. Fauvism began in a exhibition in Paris in the early 20th century.

Cubism is a style of painting created in the 20th century by Pablo Picasso and another famous artist, in Spain. In order to do this style of art you will have to break up images and paint it in one canvas or paper stuck together, like are collage. The reason why cubism is broken up to pieces and drawn into one is to show what a face looks like from another perspective with details.

Post Impressionist used by British artists were characterized by bright colors, sharp and outlined edges. Post impressionist wasn’t a formal movement or painting style. Artists who used this style was focused on the emotional and symbolic elements to paint. The technique used for this style was tiny dots or stroke of colours.

Today new artist continue to emerge and to develop.

Taonga Time 2012

Van Gogh Artwork

Vincent Van Gogh artwork.

In room 22 we have been painting and sketching artwork's that Vincent Van Gogh has drew in the past. This time we drew a close up sunflower using his technique. The picture above shows what we did and what the technique looks like. Vincent Van Gogh 's style in painting is little strokes but a normal background painting long strokes.  

Portrait

In class this term we had to make a presentation using the word Portrait. In the presentation we wrote a sentence together with the  word portrait and wrote what the word means .

Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van gogh a dutch painter was one of most famous painters, that  had little recognition.He only sold one of  his artwork in his lifetime.

Van Gogh was born on March 30th 1853 in Groot, Zundert, near breda, Nederland (Holland) . At the age of 16 Vincent moved to Hague ( the capital city of the Netherlands) and worked as a employer for his uncle’s art dealer. Later after that his brother Theo became a art dealer too. In 1878 Van Gogh became a preacher in the Southwestern of Belgium.

The photo above is one of Vincent Van Gogh’s painting of him.

My 2012 Goal's

My Goals.

In reading my learning goal is to read and to under stand what the story is about. To achieve this goal I need too read the book really carefully.

In writing my goal is to make my sentences make sense. To achieve this goal I need to think before I write.

In maths my goal it to know my timetables and to know how to add decimals. To achieve my goal I will have to memorize my timetables.

My goal for this year around the school is to use good manners as well as being a good role model.

Camp 2012

Camp Highlight.

For camp this year my highlight was seeing the warriors at swimarama. My other highlight was falling off my kayak when I just got on it. Another activity I enjoyed was playing old skool games with Mr Harris .My low light was running around in amazing race.

Class Statistics

In Room 22 we have been learning about Statistics. For Statistics we had to ask our class of what colours and things we like doing better. I had to ask the class what colours they like and write it into a document we had to create. After writing the things down we had to put it in this spreadsheet where you can make a chart. The Picture above is what I made. It shows that Blue is the most popular colour in room 22.

Respect

For 2012 our school, Point England School are focusing on what respect looks like . The picture above shows you what respect means to me. The person on the right hand side is meant to show when people are talking you are meant to be quite and wait for your turn. But the left hand side person shows that when you want to talk you are meant to put ur hand up and wait for your turn.

To the Manaikalani Trust and Stuff

Dear Manaiakalani Trust and staff,

This year I would like to say thank you to all the people that have been helping us with all their hard work. On behalf of Point England we would like to say thank you for all the the stuff you have given to us. Using netbooks has made alot of changes and has made learning alot easier.

Now that we have our netbooks we have been posting more interesting stuff for the world to see. This year I have noticed that having my netbook has made alot of changes to my blog and now that we use the netbooks l have posted more blogs than last year.

Thanks to the the Manaiakalani trust we now can learn in a better and faster way by using netbooks.

My Netbook Reflections

This year I have really enjoyed having a Netbook to work on because it is faster to research and easier to do my work on.

Another thing is because we can learn more stuff and find out things faster.

As much as I have loved having a Netbook there are some things that I haven’t liked which is when I am in the middle of doing my work the Internet suddenly becomes offline.

The greatest challenge for me using my netbook is how we have to wait for our Internet to go online. But using our netbooks at school for learning is better then using paper and pen to do our work.

I think if we had to use paper and pen it will not be as fun as using our netbooks because then we are not likely to post more posts on to our blogs.
