Learning How To Create New Types Of Pieces Of Art We May Not Have Done Before

 Learning How To Create New Types Of  Pieces Of Art We May Not Have Done Before

" Morning class " our teacher said as she leaped through the see through wide open door. " Today we are going to be going art up to lunch time" our teach explained, the class was so excited. She read the roll out then started to explain what type of art we were going to try to create today.  First she put on a video about the artist that we were going to try make something similar to hers. I found the video very interesting and I found out lost of interesting about the artists life.  

Suddenly I had a piece of paper in my hand and was ready to start my piece of art work. Starting off by drawing the nose and eyes. It was harder then I thought! Slowly my teacher would play the video step by step as we created out pieces of amazing art work. 

Finally I had done my nose and eyes done but it took a while till it was happy with my work I had done. Then we did the next step. We didn't add to much detail to our art work yet because we needed to pastel after we had put vivid over the pencil. Time pasted by very fast and I was all ready past my vivid stage. Pastels were very bright so I decided to blend some colours together and smuge together with my skin on my fingers. 

Once I had finished my mahi I needed to tidy up my working space so I could head off to lunch. I was very proud with my work, and I especially liked how I added golden balls on top of the dark green. All my colours looked very bright. Finally we got to go out to lunch.

Action day - Harvesting kumara

 Action day -  Harvesting kumara 

We were off in the morning, Koka Rozie was writing all of our amazing ideas onto to a big whiteboard. After Koka Rozie  rote all of our interesting ideas onto the whiteboard, our class went outside and started  weeding all of the class gardens. It was hard work weeding and harvesting everything out of the gardens, with the boiling hot sun shining right on us.  It took lots of time, we all had to be resilient and determined to get it done. We went out in the gardens to harvest all the kumara we planted a few months ago and to dig out all the plants that were not meant to be growing in that place. An action day was to do heaps of work around our school, to make our school look nicer. 

Diggggg the bell loudly, for a long amount of time it was time,  it was time to go to morning tea.  Codie was coming to teach us some new things about being a 100/100 enviro school. Moana two ( That's my class ) came back in class after morning tea. Codie was ready to talk to us.  Codie comes to enviroschools and talks to them about what they are doing as an enviro school and how they could improve to get better than before. Codie told us lots of interesting things that I did not know before. She showed us lots of pitchers that were very interesting and asked us some questions while we were looking at the pitchers.   

Back in the garden we travelled ,harvesting kumara. To me it was very fun. One after another we found kurara. Digging aur hands around the kumara until you could pull the kumara out , without it breaking because you want one whole kumara not pices. Everybody's fingernails were very dirty from digging most of the day. It was very hard working in the hot heat. 

At the end of the day we had cleared out the whole garden, there was only soil left. I was proud of my self and my class. It was hard work. Have you ever heard the saying: Do the mahi get the treats, that's how I felt today when we started and did the mahi, then when we finished we got the treats by seeing that its done. Do you like weeding.

Berry Breeze Smoothie

 Berry Breeze Smoothie 

Early in the morning I arrived at school with all my ingredients.  Today at school we were making smoothies in buddies, my buddy was Lila and Zoe.  Our smoothie had lots of ingredients in it, so we all bring some.  I brang Cinnamon, almonds , yoghurt and feijoas.  Our teacher koko Pip gave up a plate to put all of our ingredients on once they are ready.  I  cut the strawberries and scooped the flesh out of the feijoas, pored the yoghurt. It was very fun preparing all the food.  We put the food on the clean plate because our teacher was going to film us make our smoothie, so we wanted it to look nice. 

Time to make the Berry Breeze

Slowly and carefully we carried our plate into the filming room. There, we placed it on the table and stuck our recipe behind us with sticky blue tack.  The camera started filming, we were on! 

Firstly, we introduced ourselves. Next Lila said what materials we needed to use.  Zoe and I then explained the ingredients we needed. As we read each instruction, we also did it. At first I was nervous but then it was fun. After we did all the steps, we blended it all up. When we blended it all up it was very loud!

 Our group tasted the smoothie, it was very thick and tasted like cinnamon. But we liked it. We poured a cup for Koka Nolian and Koka Margo, they are our judges. I started cleaning out the smoothie blenders for other groups, as they were next up.  I found it very interesting watching all the other groups do their videos.

Koka Nolian and Koka Margo came in and judged that afternoon. There were five groups in total. our first judge, Koka Nolian, awarded us in 5th place. With Koka Margo, we came 4th. I loved making the smoothies it was cool.  We did the smoothie day to learn how to make smoothies, to learn camera angles and to do something fun because the year sixes were on camp. Next time we would put way less cinnamon because I think we might have put too much in.
