Dinosuar compositions | Jungle Motto-print

 Welcome back bloggers, for the past few weeks we had been working on something new in art class. We learnt new techniques and learnt the colour combinations. 

The task that we've been focusing on is dinosaur compositions, which means we trace a picture on baking paper and print it out. After it is printed we coloured it in and mixed different colours to make it interesting. And the other task that we've learnt how to do is jungle motto print, which basically means putting colours on the roller and pasting it on the plastic sheet. Then use our dinosaur compositions to trace the thing we want. The colours that I used for my first try was black, pink and yellow. When I first tried it, it was ridiculous and didn't want it to turn out that way. But my second try was amazing because I could see some of the things that I traced. 

Here are some pictures of my progress: 

As you can see on this second try of jungle motto print some of the tracings I've done worked really well. You could see some plants and the dinosaur that I've traced on the dinosaur compositions. 

During this past week, I loved what we did because it was something new and I've never had experienced it before. I learnt lots of things such as mixing colours and shading colours to different textures. This term art subject was really successful for me because I learnt new things that I didn't know about and we did fun art-related stuff. 

Thank you so much for taking the time and reading my blogpost, hope to hear your feedbacks(:

Fun Run - Kids Can

 Welcome back viewers, today I will be talking about what we did in the fun run and what it is for. And I will be talking about how I felt when I was there and what obstacles were there. 

The fun started last week Friday (November 25th) and was located in our school field. The purpose of doing a fun run is to thank kids can for all the support they give us not just our school but other schools. We thank kids can for all their hard work and for providing our school, school jackets, fruit cups, shoes and other lots of useful things that our student needs. "We are so thankful that kids can are helping our school and the purpose of doing fun run is to celebrate Kids can. And the people who were involved in kids can be years seven to ten, which are juniors and seniors. And it's our turn to donate money for all the hard work they gave to us, plus if we fundraise ten plus more dollars we get prises. 

There were huge amounts of obstacles around the school field and lots of them were so creative and fun to go through. Such as bouncy castles, colour spraying at you, waterslides you have to go through, hurdles, tires, cargo nets, sponges getting thrown at you, and heaps of water guns spraying at you. 

Going through the fun run was actually enjoyable and I had lots of fun, ' I actually wanted to have like a go pro on top of my head so, I can show you guys what's it like to go through the fun run obstacles. I felt full of energy and had lots of excitement because I was running with my friends, which encourage me and all the other obstacles that I went through. 

The obstacles that I enjoyed were the bouncy castle and the cargo net. The bouncy castle was mostly enjoyable because I raced my friend and was bouncing around. And then the cargo net was satisfying to go through because I felt like a soldier crawling. But the one thing that I did not enjoy was colour getting sprayed at me because of the smell and going in my mouth.  

But anyways I had lots of fun and enjoyed the fun run. Thank you so many kids can for all the hard work you gave and all the sacrifice. 

Here are some photos of me and other people who participated in the fun run:

And I think that this is a nice way of celebrating and giving back things to Kids can. We are really so glad that we have Kids can who provide our school uniforms shoes and other stuff and to other schools around the world as well. And I hope they keep it up. It was also fun to participate because of all the colours and obstacles we went through. 

Hope you enjoyed reading my fun run experience and hope to see some feedbacks(:

Help! Maui Can't Pull The Sun!

Welcome back readers, 

In today's blog, I will be sharing with you what we have been doing in our reading hurumanu class. And our topic for the next two weeks in New Zealand Myths and legends. Today's topic is all about Maui pulling the sun. But you won't learn anything about how Maui pulled the sun, it's about me making an advertisement for someone Maui because doesn't got the strength anymore. 

The activity I did was on canvas because it's always there and free. It's the best website to create any slideshows nor posters. The activity is pretty much straightforward, the task was just to make an advertisement for someone to pull the sun rather than Maui because he's tired. 

Here is my poster: Just click on it to zoom in.

I think I did pretty well and made my poster with absolute creativity. The Canva website was pretty interesting to use and this activity was actually unique because of the advertisement I had to make. I hope our reading activities will be more fun and interesting. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog post. Hope you enjoyed my poster. Don't forget to leave a comment. Have a great awesome day(:

An Interesting Art Task (7/8 Art)

 Welcome back viewers, In the past week in my art class, we have been focusing on Henri Rousseau's paintings and learning the 6 terms. The six terms are background, middle ground, foreground, foliage, print, repetition. 

The task was to choose a picture and cut out the foreground, middle ground, and background. We labeled them, write where it is and what they meant. Secondly, we analyze where the print and foliage and where the repetitions were. The reason we did this was that Henri Rousseau was seemingly an excellent painter because of all the skills and interesting art he did. 

The task was seriously interesting because we gain knowledge and learned new terms and examine where each and every part was. It was very fun doing this activity and would like to do more of it. 

Here is my art piece:

Labour weekend Wriitng

In our wananga session, we've been doing fun activities around writing and gaining more tips and tricks about writing. But for today I will show you what activity we've done and how it is related to writing because we will have our upcoming test (E-Astle Writing Test). 

So the challenge was to explain our labor day with the word S.P.I.L.E.S. in each letter we had an example and they are related to the things that we were doing during the long weekend. For example, the word S is turned into social, so we have to write things about social activities. 

The challenge was very different and interesting because it had a twist but had examples to give us backup information. 

Here is my work:

Labour Weekend (S.P.I.L.E.S)

S - (Social Activity) In the labor weekend my family went camping and gathered with friends and families.

We had seven family members and haven’t met for a really long time. We gathered at pak n’ save first then traveled for fifty minutes to Ashley Gorge Holiday Park. 

P - (Physical) As a family we proceed to go hiking uphill for two or more hours to see a waterfall.

We also played some of our Filipino’s childhood games such as Tumbang Preso (Fell Prisoner).

While we were hiking up, the terrain was extremely frightening and difficult because of all the rocks, roots of the trees, and the gravity pull we were having.

Another physical activity that I remembered was going to the river and going for a swim in the river where the current was tremendously powerful. 

I - (Intellectual) Furthermore as a group of seven family members we helped each other and built our tent which was exceedingly tricky because we didn’t have any instructions.

In addition to this, I learned how we should clean our house first before going somewhere else because when we got home we were so tired but still had to clean the mess in the house. 

L - (Likes) I truly enjoyed swimming in the river with very strong waves.

As well as sleeping in the tent and eating lots of food.

I also enjoyed gathering with my friends, having a laugh, and asking how they have been doing.

Another thing that I most appreciated was seeing the waterfall and getting some physical exercise by climbing uphill for two or more hours. 

E - (Emotional) I was feeling happy because I got to meet my friends and go camping with them for two days.

And I felt satisfied when I swam in the river because it was cold when the weather was hot.

Moreover, I began to feel tired when we were hiking uphill and extremely exhausted when coming back home.

Another emotion that I felt annoyed because the waterfall wasn’t that high but the water was so fresh.

But at the end of the day, I felt fantastic because I actually think that I won a medal for climbing a mountain and seeing my friends which were worth it. 

S - (Success) The success that I had was not losing my jandals when I saw in the river with a strong current.

Therefore I was also successful when I climbed, helped set up the tent, and climbed up the mountain.

Also, the successful thing that I did was drinking fresh water and doing some physical activities.

I think that that was a fantastic experience and would love to do it again.

Would you enjoy climbing up a mountain and camping?

I think this activity was cool and a fun way to explain our Labour Weekend experience. And I conceive that I did pretty well on my work and had lots of information. I really enjoyed doing this activity and love to do more of this, this will actually make me prepare for my writing test. 

Hope you learned something from my blog and experience. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post. Make sure to leave feedback for my blog post(;

Chamois, Chamois, Chamois (Uncle Don)

 Welcome back viewers, in today's blog I will be giving you information about an animal that I researched about and will be sharing with you a presentation that I made for them. And the animal that I learned and am talking about is called a Chamois. 

These animals that I've been researching are from Uncle Don's book the one that says (Uncle Don knows heaps of wacky stuff). 

For today's activity, we had to choose a topic that we wanted to research on pages 23 - 24. And I think this will be our last session about Uncle Don. And an interesting activity that was all required to us was doing the unscramble activity which had a cool twist.

I think that the activities that we have done are interesting and unique because of the other animals and topics that I learned and research. I hope we get more time of doing kind of this activity because of all the knowledge that I gain from them. 

In addition to this, I created my presentation on canvas. 

Here is my presentation:

I hope this was an interesting last session of Uncle Don, I hope you learnt a lot of stuff within my blog post that I've done about Uncle Don. I think that I learnt a lot of things and get to know the different types of animals. And on my presentation, I think I did amazing and have lots of facts and information about Chamois. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog, please don't forget to leave feedback(:

7/8 Art (Water Colouring Painting)

 Today I will be sharing the watercolor work that I completed and the watercolor paintings that I haven't finished. I will be sharing the progress that I made during this art session. For all of the paintings I will show you I will be putting captions on how I made them. 

Here are my paintings:

For this watercolouring painting, I tried drawing multiple flowers one braches and getting creative with it. This drawing is very basic and I think I did alright on painting the flower and drawing it. I didn't really use a technique here I just painted it and mix it with different colours. But sadly I didn't finish it. 

For this flower, I didn't actually paint it because I didn't have much time and it was probably the most difficult one. But I just drew it with a sketching pencil. 

This painting was very interesting to do because I learnt I lot of techniques, like adding salt to have texture. Wash technique (one stipe and dipping it into the water to make a lighter shade. Then the others were experimenting and mixing the colours. The last technique that I did was painting, soaking the paintbrush in the water, taking out all the water and just stroking it on the painting. 

This painting was one of the paintings that I did because we used a palate and mixed different colours. And the technique that I did was scraping the paint to make a lighter shade. 

This drawing is also not finished because I didn't paint it. But I think I did pretty well on this drawing, no technique is needed on this one. 

I think that drawing and water colouring is pretty satisfying and all the technnique you use. It was fun doing this kind of topic, I wish to learn more techniques.
