Maori week

Kia ora , Bloggers

This week is Te Reo Maori week. We had to make an animation and we had to have Maori words and animals and things like that. We had places where we could do it. We could go to the beach,Playground,Forest,city and farms and we chose the beach we are using Google Slides to present our animation. We had to name 12 things that you would see in that place and write the name and the maori name as well. What are you guys doing at School for Te Reo Maori week?  Here is our Animation hope you like it.

The giver

Hey bloggers this blog post is about what I have been reading and writing about. The book that I been reading is called The giver this book is about a town that has rule even tho it's a small town. once you turn a certain age you get a job  that certain person picks out for you that they think you would like and enjoy. I'm only up to chapter 6 so i don't much about it but I think the more we read it the more Jonas will open up more in his thoughts.  Would you read it if you could?

Aladdin

 Hey bloggers  this weeks blog post is all about are Aladdin production  this week each cast  got to perform twice. I'm in cast one so I performed on Tuesday after noon and  Wednesday night. We were learning all the dances,line and facials   for 12 to 13 weeks.

Brochure

 Hey bloggers. How was you holidays? the second week of term 3 are starting to read a new book that is about when a plane land in an small town tells them to  leave  the town because people are coming and in this town everything was perfect. The task was to make a brochure about a world that we created in pairs. I did it with Leah and channel. Are world is all about  making people happy and so they don't have to feel anymore pain. If you ever created a new world what would it look like and all of that?

More matariki art!

Happy Matariki everyone! 

On the 2 July we celebrated the Māori New Year, a time to consider the year ahead. The days are starting to lengthen and spring will soon be here, we just need to get through this cold winter first! 

Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have got many stories attached to them. We looked at two; one about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow coloured. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.

My kite has Tawhirimatea and the wind represented with the clouds. I then coloured it in as a rainbow.

**DLO**

What stories have you heard about Matariki?

Foam printmaking

 Hey bloggers this post is how to make a foam printmaking art and it is   all about matariki. With the Maori New year coming up/matariki we decide  to make  a art peace  each   to show what we have learn't about it in fun and cool way. there was two different was a way the was hard that you had to put swords for the stars  and then  we got are mountain and try to copy it on how it  looked like. My mountain  is mount cook.

when I was think and  designing  this  I thought a lot about how the stars were placed  because we had to reversed the stars because   when you place it on the paper it is in the right spot. And know it will tell you the whole process of make foam print art.

step 1.get a a4 piece of paper and draw are design  of are starts and mountains and make sure your stars are around the right way/revered

step 2.once we showed the teacher or you couldn't do the first start idea you can do like little fire works that were exploiting.  but you had to try the harder idea first before you just go not try.

step 3.then we got are piece of foam and did the same thing but push hard on the foam because  you do foam printing.

step 4. once you have done that you  get ink and bush in on to the foam and you can mix colours.

step 5. get a piece of paper and write your name on it and place it carefully in the middle of the page and then get a bush and roll it so it gets every thing.

step 6.Then get another  piece of  that is bigger then a4 and  cut out a frame.

step 7. after that you put you glue them together  and put them on the wall. 

if you try this you should make a blog post about:)
