TIKI

Welcome to my next blog post. Today I am showing you my amazing art. First I drew a Tiki and then filled it in with pastel colour. Then I folded it into the shape of a kite and water coloured the back ground.

Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have got many stories attached to them. We looked at two; one about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow coloured. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.

STEAM/Paper Table

 Hey! Welcome to my next BLOG POST!!! Today I will be showing you a STEAM task. Every Wednesday we have technology. We have one half of the class going in the morning and the other, the afternoon. I was at school in the morning so.... Our task today was to make a table 15 cm high and strong enough to hold a book on our teachers table. People who got at least one book on there table for over 3 seconds completed the challenge. Our group tried our best lets say!

Steam experiment

Hello and welcome to my next blog post! Just the other day we did an experiment. We had a certain amount of supplies and had to make something to stop the egg from cracking at a tall height. Even though our egg cracked we did a good job! Team work wise. Only one team in our part didn't crack their egg and what they did was wrap around the egg multiple times. Me and my team did a very good job and worked together. 

Genie Drawing

Salaam and good evening my friends. Welcome to my next blog post. Today I will be showing you my art work I have made of the Genie from Aladdin. We have been working on a production called ALADDIN! While some people are practising the other people that are not in this very scene will go on a slide and complete a task. Me and some friend decided to draw a Genie and we think we did good. It took 1 session for drawing and half a session for colouring in. This is how mine turned out : ) ( :

 

MOON SAND

 Hello and welcome to my next blog post. Today we were doing an experiment. We have been doing things about matariki but today our experiment was about the Moon. First we were talking about launching and then we started our experiment. We grabbed 500 ml of moon sand into a bucket in groups of 7. The moon sand was not real but it was the same consistency of real moon sand. We had metal balls and dropped them in sand. We then needed to record what happened.   

Hundertwasser Art

Kia Ora my name is Ella and welcome to my next blog post! This is my Hundertwasser Art. On tech days we have been focusing on this Art. Can you find these particular things: Floating eyeballs, small hidden face and Onion Domes. We either had to use Complementary colours on the colour wheel or use opposites. You can find more art like this in bathrooms but more up north. Have you made this art before?
