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?

Blasting off A Rocket!

We have been learning about Rockets. Our class has entered a Challenge called the Rocket Challenge. In the Rocket Challenge you make bottle Rockets and put pressure into the bottle and launch it and try to be the best school. First we need to get 1.5 litre bottles to blast off. Oscar and Jack.T brought in Lipton tea bottles but when we put fins on it and 500 ml, it EXPLODED!!! Everyone was excited but confused. Because it was really funny for it to explode but not a lot of people knew why. Mr A told us that the Lipton drinks weren't fizzy so it couldn't handle the pressure and exploded. Would you like to do the Rocket Challenge?    

I almost died! (not real)

 A few weeks ago we made some Anzac letter home from Gallipoli. The first thing we did with this we looked at a dairy to someone who got put in prison in the Anzac war. They made a story about what they do there. Then Mr A told us that we were going to make letters home from Gallipoli.

First we had to write our letters on our computers so we had everything planned out. When we finished we got some paper and put some wet tea bags and dip them on it and made it look like really 100 year old paper. Then we left it outside for about 5 minutes and then we started writing. With the writing there isn’t that much to say about it because it was easy just long. When I finished we put some pictures on the poster and then we were finished. Do you know a lot about Anzac? Tell me in the comments.

I Am The Best Runner In The World

A few days ago I went to Athletics. The ones that I was in were 50m, 1000m, High Jump, Discus and long jump. The first thing that we did was Discus. With Discus you throw a disc as fair as you can. You get 3 tries at throwing, my first try was my best. I get a PB of 16.33m. My 2nd try I got 13.23m, My 3rd try I got 16.20m. Then we went to the 1000m. We were waiting for the race to start for about 5m. When it did start we had to do 2 and a half laps of the high school field. Lincoln got 1st, Haki got 2nd ,will got 3rd, and Crous got 4 and I got 5th.Then we went to the high jump. We had to wait around 20mins for it to really start. When it did start on my first jump I hit down the bare and the bare started at  1 METER. Then I thought I don’t want to do high jump now. But I still gave it a go, The same thing happened with the first jump. On the last jump when I hit the bare down it hit my spin and it really hurt. Then we went to the 50m. The 50m was finished in seconds. Then we went to the long jump my first jump was 2.22 my 2nd jump was a no jump same with the 3rd jump.

Have you ever run 1000m tell me in the comments.
