Water cycle diagram

 Hello bloggers today I have been learning about water aquifers and I had to make a diagram to show what happens when rainwater drains underground. here is my diagram 



 as you can see the water seeps underground and while it is doing that it purifies it and makes it drinkable water for us. at my house, we have a well underground so our water does not have to be processed with chemicals.

marvellous matariki art

 Happy Matariki everyone! 

On the 2 July it was Māori New Year,

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 a taniwha and the wind is represented with the kuru . I then colored it in like a rainbow.



What stories have you heard about Matariki?

Matariki Printing

 Hello, bloggers this month we have been doing Matariki/Maori new year printing and art because Matariki is coming up soon. First, we had to make a draft copy and then we would draw it on with a pen on foam then it would go to the printing stage. First, you would put ink on the foam then put the paper on it and pat it down. because of this, we could print it on paper multiple times if you washed the foam off. I hope you like it.

 Hi bloggers today we had to finish a little cartoon strip about bullying and emotional safety. In the comic, it shows two friends playing basketball then someone comes over and pushes over one of them and takes the ball. For our task, we had to color the whole thing in and draw a picture to show the friend doing something to help the friend that has been pushed over. I did the friend helping up the other guy and asking if he's okay.

2021 camp reflections

 Last week we went to camp at Wainui and it was a lot of fun. we did a lot of activities like coasteering, kayaking, code breakers, orienteering, swimming, and high ropes but my favorite was kayaking especially when we got to play a kayak version of water polo and when I ramed my kayak into my friend. I made an animation in google slides to show me crashing into him. I think I did a pretty good job with it hope you enjoy it,  we also made a lego man that had to look like us and represent us I added ps4 because I play it and all the other stuff is what I like to play. 

where was the last camp you went to ?
