Matariki Mat

 We have made a Matariki Mat. You might be thinking what is a Matariki Mat, it was a Mat made out of Harakeke and you weave it into something like a plate. First with out Mat we had to get 12 pieces of small flax then start weaving, a 7 by 5 grid. Next you have to put the 2 ones next to the middle flax and fold them up to the, other side. Next you grape the 2 ones on the edge and fold, them to the other side. Then you fold the 2 up top back down, next you fold the one in the middle and do the same thing. Then you get something that you can tie something     with like a rope, then grab all of the flax and tie them together. In do that for the other side, Then you need to do that with the other ones and then you are done that. You need to fold it up and make a handle then BANG you done. Have you made a Matariki Mat before or did you already now how? Let me now though a Email or in the comments.

I am a Artist

 We have been learning about Emily Carr with Mrs Swinburn. Emily Carr was a Canadian Artist that liked to paint trees. She was born on 13th December 1871 and died on 2nd March 1945. We wanted to make trees like Emily Carr  so first we had to get a sponge and then put in some paint then do the page and then put on a second colour or a third. Next we had to make a draft of our tree that we were going to make. Last we had to paint our draft tree onto the coloured paper. Have you ever made a tree like this? Tell me in the comments.

First flight of Kaniere 2021

You might be thinking, why have I made another Rocket blog? Because that bottle didn't have carbonated water so it EXPLODED!!! So we got someone carbonated water bottles and started putting on the fins and we were going to put a tennis ball on top. But I put sand in there and the same with Lincoln. The first thing I did was cut off the top of a bottle and then put some sand into it as my weight. Next I had to clue the top of the bottle back on then Mr A put some duct tape on it because Mr A is very smart. Then I cut out some fins but I haven't finished cutting them out. But Lincoln managed to finish his Rocket and we blasted that one off. Can you give me anything that could help me make a better Rocket?
