The Holidays - Friends and Myself

Monita -
Nothing, shes just going to go to some roaming, and going to visit people and things like that she's also going to see her Nana and her family, friends and she said she is going to possibly be fun or boring but she will be seeing her friends throughout the holidays so I think she should have some fun.

Arizona -
She said shes going to be probably doing nothing expect visiting family member and eating lots of food because she likes food!!

In Holidays I will probably move my stuff to the new house and after relax until I go to my new school.
And I´ll also do nothing after that too, ass in nothing I mean like sleeping and eating and that's just about it.

The last Day

Today is the last day of Term 2 and also is my last day at this school and I will miss this school but mostly my friends, the reason I will miss this school is because I have came to this school since I was 5. 

I can't wait for the holidays because I have no idea what we will be doing throughout the holidays something I also can't wait for is spending time with my family and i'm expecting one of my friends to come down and visit me.
I am really really going to miss my friends and they are going to miss me to. Here are some of my friends blog post.

Arizona - Good Morning, Today is the last day of term 2 for Tamaki Primary. I am very excited but not that much because I won't be seeing my friends for a while and 2 of my friends Lizzy and Taonga are sisters and they are going to another school and we will miss them a lot but I hope they make good new friends at their new school. I wish them all the best at their new school, house and area they are going to living in.







Mary Jane - Something i'm not going to be happy about today and this week is that it's currently my best friends last day at this school and I really don't want to see her go because we are really close and I just want her to stay but life will still go on and I can't make her parents stay and things like that

Lizzy Visual Arts Reflections

Visual Arts

I created a night and day drawing.

Something that I found challenging was that  I had to smudge the pastel into the paper. It was challenging because my fingers were getting swore.

If I did this project again, I would change the colour, style, subject.

I think the colour scheme worked well.

Things that went well with my drawing were the grass, the tree and the pastel.

My artwork is a story about how I see day and night.

I drew a picture/symbol of a tree with some dirt that's ripped out of the ground and sun on one side and the moon on the other side to represent day and night and I also drew some blue swirls

for the wind blowing the grass.

Making Connections With Black Holes.

For the past few weeks we have been researching about black holes for inquiry. We worked in groups of threes and my group figured out some questions about black holes and they were about what we wanted to know about black holes. We had to research to try and get the answers to the questions about black holes.

Tai chi

Today we had Tai Chi in the hall and we got into a circle and said our positive and negative comments and our Random acts of kindness. The power word was courage and Mr. Gordon was telling us stories of people taking courage in what they were doing.One of the stories he told us was about a old lady and she lived next door to his school and she had a whole back yard full of fruit and vegetables and when he was seven and heaps of the kids at his school was  going over her fence to steal her apples, grapes, peaches and mandarins so she use to chase them back to the school with a rake so everyone thought she was a witch.  Then one day Mr. Gordon's friend wanted a apple but he couldn't get over the fence so his friend asked Mr. Gordon to steal a apple for him and he said no why don't we just ask so Mr. Gordon was trying to scare his friend, so he went to ask the lady and his friend was really scared so he was standing by the mailbox.  When Mr. Gordon went up to the door the lady said what do you want and he said an apple and the lady had a big grin on her face she was happy because he was the first kid to ask for a fruit, she took him to the back of her house and gave him a bag of fruit and because he was the first person to ask he to go to her house all the time to get a bag of fruit for his family. This story was an example of courage- being brave to ask.

Phone stands

At technology we were trying to find many different phone stands to see what phone stand we want to try or do.  we had a challenge to do and it was to try and find a furry phone stand and I found one but it wasn't really good because you couldn't even see half of the screen. There was a some that was good because you could actually see the screen.
Here are some photos of the furry phone stands
