Belonging Drawing

 Today in Kaiawhina groups we were continuing doing our belonging inquiry but this time we had to do a self portrait. Half photo half drawing. The whole school has to do this because it is part of our belonging to Rawhiti School. The teacher's and student's have to do one and it is basically the slide show we did but drawing of ourselves. We did not have to do the background but me and Ella wanted to to make it look a little bit more realistic.

This is my drawing.

                                                                                 

       

       

The Big Day

 Its the swimmers first day swimming at the Olympics doing different swimming types like back stroke and butterfly. The water is crystal clear as the swimmers walk in to start the first race. They are doing butterfly and the race starts in 3...2...1...GO! They dive into the water"SPLASH". They are off. The judges see that the 2 people at the front of the pool are tied then the person on the right shoots forward and wins the race. Next up it was my turn doing back stroke.3...2...1...GO! I was off trying my best to get to the end first. I was tie with this guy and then I shot forward and won the race!I was so happy.The other guy stomped off as the big gold medal was being put around my neck.I was heading home as the heavy gold medal is swinging around on my neck.             To Be Continued...

  

                                                                                   

                                                                            

Monday Mashup Slime

 Today for Monday Mashup we were doing slime. I wanted to make mine a baby pastel yellow but every time I tried to make it it did not turn out well. It was either runny or to clumpy. In the group there was me and Ella who were the leaders and everyone else joined and there was Miihaea, Sadie, Aria O ,Niya, Holley and Anika. The first time i tried it was to runny then the next time I didn't activate it properly and the last time I added to many ingredients. So mine and everyone else apart from Ella,s didn't work. Ella's actually worked and she made hers a light pastel purple color. When she was done with it she put the slime in a container and it was fluffy slime it was a bit sticky but not to bad. I think I know why hers worked because I bought shaving cream and it was a different brand and everyone wanted fluffy slime so she used up the rest of the shaving foam we bought and the other shaving foam Sharon gave us did not cooperate with the activator.  

My Swimming

For swimming last week Sharon's Kaiawhina group had to do life saving. We had to pick a buddy to do it with and my buddy was my friend Ella. We had to pretend one of us was drowning and the other person had to save us. I was drowning first and Ella had to save me. We practiced until it was my turn to save Ella. When we had done practicing Sharon came over and took a photo to put on Hero for us. Ella saved me fist for the photo and Sharon said I drowned beautifully and then I saved Ella after. Sharon said that we were done doing life saving and we did not get free swim:(

The Mysterious Tree

Sometimes I think that the forest near my house is magical. It has trees as big as airplanes and they grow a metre everyday. There is a hole in the tree and it is tiny. One day I was going for a walk then WHOOSH I was in the hole! I was wearing a little pink dress the color of bubblegum and it was covered in white frills as white as the moon and it had a giant ink bow on the back. Suddenly I hear a loud voice telling me to come have tea with them over and over again. I turn around and see a long corridor with a little light at the end. I walk strait until I get to the end and see three mice in there little warm and cozy house made of brick. The mice are brown and white and have very long whiskers. The one in the middle is standing on a barrel with glasses and the other two are holding denim jackets in there hands. They are all staring at something and I look up and see a bright light on the roof. I start to stare at it and suddenly I am hypnotized. I start to float and I am floating onto the barrel and the mice are yelling " Master Master".                                   To Be Continued ...
