Treasure map

In He Puna Tarei we were learning about North, south, east and west. We also had to make a map.
Here is mine.

How to find my treasure

First start at the ship then go SW to the hut. Then go SW to the cave. Next go NW to the blue lake. Then go SE to the volcano. After that go NE to the forest. Finally walk SE to the smelly swamp.

Then jump into the swamp and you will find your treasure.

Surviving the mud run!

At Green Pastures camp, we were heading  to the mud run. I was so excited to do it. YAY! We were there. People got into the mud and …  people were screaming and crying. I hopped in the mud and the mud was up to my chest. I got out of that mud then there was another pool of mud but it had a big tree trunk that you could climb onto. Lucky I got to the other side. WOW! I heard lots of people crying on the last part of the mud run. I also saw heaps of people stuck. I got in the mud and it was so deep. I grabbed the rope and pulled it as hard as I could but I only moved a little. I tried to crawl through the mud, it worked, I kept crawling. Yay! I made it to the end. I got out of the mud and I looked like a mud monster.

Maori language week

For maori language week He Puna Tarei  created posters. We had to do greetings, fruit, animals and words in  maori. We also had to search up what ever the picture the word was.We could do any background and I chose a maori background. Here it is!

My Illuminated Letter

In He Puna Tarei we were doing illuminated letters.
First you chose a letter like the letter at the start of your name. Then you practice doing your illuminated letter 4 times. Then you chose your best 2. Then you get a good copy and chose the best out of them. Then you draw your letter you chose. Then colour your letter in. Here is mine.   

Roman art

In He Puna Tarei we have been making mosaics. First Miss Nation cut lots of different colored paper up. Then we had to print a horse, fish,spider or a bird. Next we had to cut it out and then trace around it on a black piece of paper. Then we got any colour we wanted to do the inside of the animal we chose. Lastly we did the background different colours. Here is my mosaic.

3D shape

In He Puna Tarei we have describing shapes. Here is mine! Can you guess what it is?

Egyptian Art

He Puna Tarei made Egyptian Cartouches. We had to write our name in  Hieroglyphics. First we had to do it in our art books.  Then after we  were finished in our books we had to do a good  copy of it. Then when we were finished our good copy we had to paint it with water colors. Finally go over all of the lines with indian ink. 

Gymnastics

On Tuesday He puna Tarei walked  to Whanganui boys and girls gymnastics club. I learnt that every time you jump you have to do a motorbike landing to be safe. After that we split up into three groups and went on to different stations. I went on the blue and yellow trampolines.   My favourite part was jumping into the pit.

Puanga Star

He Puna Tarei made Puanga Stars for Puanga. First  we had to cut the the paper into a star shape. Then we had to put the patterns on that we learnt from Mr Ohia. Then we colored them in until there were no white spaces.Then Miss Nation helped us fold the points. Then grab a black peace of paper and trace around the star. Then we put the tiniest blob of glue on the ends to stick it on the paper.  Then write around it and carefully place the star in the middle of the page.  Finished!  They look awesome!

The art galley

When we went to the art galley it was very fun. First we had a look at some other paintings without any frames at the back of them. Then we went  in to the classroom. We had some rules about our paintings. we had to have texture (smooth and bumpy) a color we made and an other color mixing into another. I really liked it because I like painting and art.
