Calender Art

 

 

For the last couple of weeks T1 have been working on their calender art, what our class did was aboriginal art and its where you do lots of dots to create an image of something. 

 

Ki e pai ana ahau

 

 

This week in T1 we had to write in Maori what food we like and dont like, this is mine. 

Ocean Haiku

 

The first week back T1 had to do different types of poems, we had to do Haikus and Limericks, this is my Haiku about the ocean. For a Haiku you have to do 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the next and 5 for the last.

Book Week

 This week was Book Week at school, each class had to design one of their classroom doors. In T1 we choose to do Alice in Wonderland, I helped with lots of the painting, doing the clocks and sticking the leaves on the tree. T1 ended up winning 1st out of all of Team B. I went as Sasha from Attack on Titan.

Potion

How to turn into a fish                                          Equipment 

                              Spoon

                              Big pot

Ingredients                           knife

         Large glass

7 fish scales 

3 cups of salt water 

1 drop of your blood 

5 bird feet

2 poison ivy leaves 

 

Instructions 

First get your salt water, put it into your pot and wait for it to boil. Next put the 7 fish scales in the boiling water and leave for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes get your 1 drop of blood and mix it in until the mixture turns a reddish orange color. For this step you have to be very careful because you have to put your poison ivy leaves and the bird feet into the mix at the same time. Then stir the mixture for 4 minutes then pour into a large glass then drink. You should turn into a fish 2-3 minutes after.

This week we had to write a potion recipe for something, I decided to do mine on, how to turn into a fish. We had to write what ingredients we need and what you need for creating the mixture.  

Te Reo Maori

 

 

In week 1 of this term we were learning to say how we are feeling in maori. We had to make a drawing with 6 different feelings heres mine. 

Descriptive Writing

Last week in T1 we were doing Descriptive writing on an image we got, we had to look at the image and describe how being there would feel like, this is mine.

I splashed in the icey blue water as I jumped off the boat, I walked up the beach on the sizzling sand and walked over to the hut I was staying at. As I walked in the sand from my feet covered the stained wood floor. I sat down and I heard the waves lapping onto the shore and palm trees blowing in the breeze. 

I go back out onto the hot sand and dive into the glistening light blue water, swimming past fish and sharp colorful coral, I come up for a breath as the beating hot sun shines down on me. 

I swim back to the shore and go and get coconut water. I take a sip on the refreshing drink, it runs down my throat, I couldn't think of anything better at the time. I look back out at the clear blue water and see seagulls flying around me. I take a long walk down the beach. 

The sand is now cold and I can no longer see the water. I look up and see thousands of tiny sparkling stars smiling down on me, they light up the sky as I turn around, walk back to the hut and go to bed.

All about me

 

This week in T1 we have been working around ourselves and finding stuff out about other people in our class. This is my all about me poem. 

Letter to Ally
