cliff

my PBL artifact

We made artifacts about the Olympics. We could choose any topic that connects to the Olympics we were interested in. My topic I chose was mascots and here is my report about my mascot. We had to find key words and write notes and we could put those word in our report in our own words. We learnt about mascot and how they started. Something that challenged me was putting the information in order like how mascot started and when was the first mascot was created. 

My mascot is a blue sheep the union jack on his back he has a very cheerful personality and is an inspiration for every one who wan'ts to compete in the Olympics. Cliff is soft so if anyone has a bad fall of hurts them self they have a nice pillow to rest on and cuddle. If NZ is holding the Olympics I will enter Cliff in the mascot world survey and hopefully he will get in the Olympics. 
My notes I organised
The thing that challenged me the most was cliff's cotton balls I had to do a big process to make them first I put them in blue dye then every day we had to change the paper because it keep on soaking up the dye after I sowed and put the stuffing in  I hot glued them on to create

presetaiton

I have been working on my presentation about Ryan Taylor for a long time now, I think it is ready (present it first because its got animating). My presentation took a lot of time and effort to make and create. The hardest part is to find information and putting it in my own words. The reason I added animation is because I wanted it to be more interesting for the reader and so it hooks them in.

I  was learning to find key words and put them in my own words so I'm not just copying the book/information. So to make it easier for me I used my skills learn from room 16/17.
 my presentation is here

Matariki

Tortara have been learning about Matariki and all the ways to celebrate Matariki.  
Matariki is the Maori new year even though it's in June. The Maori legend for Matariki is that the sky farther and the earth mother were tore apart by their child and the child tears are formed as Matariki. If you want see Matariki you will only find them at dawn. My class have been doing Matariki activities, my faouvrite activity was weaving. Weaving was my favourite because it trained my muscles and taught me more things to weave with flax. I connected some of learning from last year to help with my weaving.

My P.E is over arm throw .Something that challenges me is the distance I throw the ball to. I am working on how far I throw the ball. when I try to throw the ball far my acrassy goes away. I thought knew a lot about over arm already but I didn't know these things. Side and point,smiley face,step and turn and throw

Art

<art>
I am proud of my art because of my *perspective and castle I think that I will be a great artist when i'm older.
*perspective means getting close and getting further away.
When it's close it's dark and big but when it's far away it's light and small.
My favourite thing about my art is the perspective that I added to show how the mountains are further back. Something that challenged me was the detail that I tried to paint.

Area

I am proud of my area because I like challenging myself on hard questions . Instead of adding the sides together you only write 2 numbers and you x the numbers that you write. if you need help and you have a two digit number you spit the number and you x your other number with the tens and the one and then you add them together. My favourite strategy is splitting numbers.

Leave the reader thinking about your poem by sharing what it inside you


I am a gamer
I wonder if the world might all of a sudden fade away
I hear the night sky calling me
I see the terror in everyone life’s  
I want to be help full for the world
I am a gamer
I pretend to fight crime  
I feel the xbox in my hand with a leathery touch               
I touch the controller and play skylanders!
I worry the when the world ENDS!
I cry when I’m sad
I am a gamer
I understand that when your mean someone's mean to you
I say that everything is ok even when it’s not
I dream of nothing ( I don’t have dreams )
I try to help people survive when they're lost
I hope to make a difference

I am a gamer


I am proud of my I am poem because it had to have all thought in your head is you thinking you. It was hard thinking about me because every thing about me is the same, so I just followed the plan
and then that's when everything change and my friends move in and that's how I got most of my work.I learnt that sometimes it helps to talk to other people to help me think.

prototype


My greatest achievement was creating my prototype and testing it to find more questions to make more changes. If your wondering what my creation is well listen up. Its a device that can give you water but check the forecast if it's going to rain, if not bring a bucket. The thing that challenged me was thinking about what the water can get through on the material table. My creation is how you get clean water from rain and a pond or other things that involve water.

Camp Omatua

Arapata hopes it's not gross.
Try and catch me.
k
Making our pudding, yum yum.     
Its hard to walk in toilet paper.
Terenzo ready for the ball.
Daniel catching his breath

    
Angus is a good funny face puller.

The thing that challenged me most was the fear factor because I don't like that much food and the sentences Mrs H said made it even worse. She said things such as poop, bird poop,blood and bugs, ha ha ha. The thing that was most gross thing was coconut milk (it tasted like bird poop). The best thing to eat was the gherkins : )  yummy. I'm a colossal fan of vegetables, especially gherkins.


What I achieved at camp was doing what I don't like doing, swimming in cold water freezing water that is. But when I hopped in at first I found it cold. But when I was in for a while I forgot about the whole cold 
thing so I didn't realize that I was in cold water so now I know how to get rid of my fear all because of camp.

What I enjoyed at camp was getting to know and play with more people, getting out about and getting dirty what and what I don't like doing. I wish I could go to Weka to stay the night and do everything the next level if there is a next level. I wish that I could stay for ever and enjoy my life.

Something that challenged me was thinking about all my knowledge about games and what was cool about the games and there graphics to action boo-ya. The 3-D graphics are awesome and realistic. The thing that I like the most about games is all the simple graphics to the games.

Making my game maker ( learning buddy ) was really fun to create and thinking what one looks like that's really hard if you haven't seen one ( such as me ) I think if I did it again I would do more on the game on the computer and keep inside the lines : so it could fit more stuff in bye :-).

Nail Art



I am proud of my work because the three steeps were challenging and exciting. The three steps were painting the wood,nailing and string  The most challenging bit was hammering the nail in not too far so it stuck out the bottom. It was also tricky to get the string around because the string was always  getting untied and I had to try lots of times.  I think if I did it again I would do some changes to make it better. the changes I would make is making my E bigger so I cold get into the gapes

Presentation



I'm proud of my Skylander presentation because it took a lot of effort and remembering to visualize it and I learned how to work on one and what the experience is on one. I think that if I did it again I would do better and add a lot more things because ideas keep rushing to my head after I published it like now. Hope you enjoyed watching and learning about Skylanders bye.
