Geomtric Art

By Anonymous
Hi, bloggers for the last couple of weeks we have been working on some art for our art exhibition. The art has been all about endemic animlas and birds to New Zeland.  

 The materials we used were:
  •  Paper ▢ 
  • Acrylic paint ✏
  • Paint brushes 🖌
  1. Before getting started we had to pick an animal that we wanted to draw. 
  2. Then we found some images of the animal that we picked and  started sketching them in our art books. 
  3. After that we  picked one of the images and insreted it on to a google drawing, then we used some tools like Polyline and Scrible to trace the image. 
  4.  When we finshed tracing the image we got a basic outline of the bird or animal that we were doing. 
  5.  Then we primed our piece of papper. Primed means put on an undercoat for our background. After priming we strted drawing the image on. 
  6.  Then we ruled up some geomtric shapes to put in it. 
  7. After that we got to the messy part... painting. (While painting we could only use up to 4 colurs . I used marshmallow pink, purple, brown and orange. )
  8.  When we finshed painting our birds and animlas 
  9. \we did an outline of it with black or white paint. Then we painted our backgrounds to the colour that would make our art stand out. Mine was white.  

Work in progess 
Here is the final product ready to go on display

Summer learning (week 1/ Day 1)

By Anonymous
Today's  activity for the summer learning journey is finding out three top facts about New Zealand on the Tourism New Zealand site.  My first facts about New Zealand is,   New Zealand is part of the pacific rim of fire and it's most active volcano is Mount Ruapehu , which is found in the middle of the North Island . Did you know that? The Auckland sky tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the southern hemisphere, standing at 328 meters high.  Last fact about New Zealand that I found interesting was  30% of the country is forest. So there must be a lot of trees then. CAN YOU FIND OUT SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT NEW ZEALAND? LEAVE A COMMENT ON WHAT YOU FOUND OUT BLOG YOU LATER

Summer learning journey

By Anonymous
Morena bloggers, Today in Literacy tumble we are doing something called the Summer Learning Journey.  We had to pick a country and, I picked Australia. The two reasons why I picked Australia is because one my favorite netball player is married to an Australian rugby player and, two because I wanted to find out about Australia so I can tell my aunt, who lives in Australia.  Who wants to find out about Australia? Lets Go.... In Australia the capital is  Canberra, there are many other places like Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.  In Australia they have a holiday called Australia Day, which is on the 26th of January. On Australian day they eat things like Pavlova and also chips down at the beach. The national colours are Green and gold and they usually have a Kangaroo on their sports uniform.

Hi, bloggers as part of our inquiry we went to Auckland Zoo.  We went and saw the New Zealand animals because that is our inquiry focus this term. Each class went with one of the zoo educators. We were sent to specific place in the zoo, we went to see the New Zeland birds and animals like the tuatara.  Some of the birds we saw were a kereru, kaka, bellbird and teike (which is a stichbird). We also went into the Bug Lab where we got to learn about bugs and do some activites. My favrouite activity was when you made a butterfly and tried seeing how high it could fly. After that we got to explore some other animlals around the zoo. My favrouite animlal was the elephant because it was doing somthing really really funny. Here are some photos of the day! Here is us being a Tuatra Blog you later😍😍
