Starry Night Art

Malo e lelei readers.

As you know the theme for this term is “Art Alive”. For this term each class from team 5 had to study, a famous artist. My class, room 4 had an artist called Vincent van Gogh. He was a Dutch post-impressionist painter. Vincent was famed for his bold, dramatic brush strokes, which often expressed emotion and added a feeling of movement to his work.

We first tried his style of painting a few weeks ago, but with pencils, and pastels. From there we notice that Vincent would have used a certain brush size to get the exact stroke he would want.

Later on we were able to create his Starry night art. While I was painting, I noticed that we had to create different shades of colours. Overall I thought this was a great experience with painting, and hope to do it again.

Here is my overall outcome. I hope you liked it.

Maths Mixture

 

This is my maths task for this week. Our maths that we are learning is Algebra. But also in this task we did a little bit of revising the things that we will do in our maths task.

Plastic Pollution

KO wai o hoa?

This is my Te reo task for term 4. The main question was Ko Wai O Hoa? I had to answer the question with the right word, it was basically just like fill in the blank spot. This was pretty easy task to finish because I've done it before, and also I got straight into my work. Along with this I did a create task. And for the create task I did another Comic strip. Here it his down below.

Adorable Algebra

This is my maths work for week 1 term 4. We are now learning algebra. This was a pretty great way for us to get ready for a P.A.T test in week 3. This was a super challenging task for me as I don't really know much about this style of Maths. But overall I thought this task was a fun task to finish. I also worked on the this task with my friend which was awesome as well.

Van Gogh

 

Kia Ora, and welcome to my first blog post of Term 4. This term our school theme is Art Alive and in Te reo " Toi Ora ". So basically this is a an inquiry based task. Team 5 will be looking at different artist around the world , and learning about there background. Like term 3 we will be rotating around each class so we have different teachers teaching us about different artists. We learned about an artist called Van Gogh. What I learned and thought was pretty interesting about Van Gogh was that he was mentally and still manged to keep his art alive. 

Kei te pehea te ahua o te rangi?

Kia Ora, fellow blog readers. This is my Te Reo task for this week. This time the question was based around weather. So our teacher created a slide show for us to accomplish. This was the same task as last week but a different question. So we had to figure out what kind of weather it was in the picture. This was a super fun task learning how to pronounce the weather in Maori. As always along with this task I created a comic strip for my create task. I loved how it turn out. Thanks for listening. 

As I Saw it ~?

Hello fellow readers. This is another As I saw It task. I finished this task with my classmate Zamera. So for this task we carried on with the James Cook and the Maori's task. We each had an object that was either in the hands of a Maori person or in the hands of the person working for James Cook. When had to find out weather this object was traded and how it was used in this sistuation. 

As I saw It ~

Hello Blog readers. This is another ~ As I Saw It ~. The Walt I had for this task was to understand how people remember and record the past in different ways. I worked with my friend Zamera. We each had a topic to research about, and to give us a head start Mrs. Stone give us site to read off from.

The topic our picked was to find out what was life like for Maori's in the 1769. As I researched I found out was that it was super hard to find information about my topic. I also learned Pekeha's tend to write there information's down, as with \Maori's they tend to speak aloud, so there voices are clearly heard.

Tuvalu WorkShop

So today team 5 were lucky enough to be a part of 2 workshops. The first workshop was based on theater performance , and the second workshop was based on Tuvalu dance.

Last week Rm 5, 1, and 4 took part in the theater workshop. Rm 11, 3, and 2 took place in the Tuvalu based workshop, we had to switch around. Which meant I had to contribute to the Tuvalu workshop.

Part of the Tuvalu workshop was to make sure we understood their cultural traditions, and just their culture in general.

Molia was the lady who ran our workshop, along with her assistant Mary Ann.

The first thing we did was learn the basic but important facts about Tuvalu. One thing I learnt that was interesting was that the Islands of Tuvalu is actually the 4th smallest country in the world. And there's about 11,00 people in tuvalu.

From there we got to learn about the unique dance costumes that are used for their traditional dances. We also learned about how to make those unique costumes. We learnt about the Fou, Safe, Titi kulama, and Titi toa, those were just the main 4 costumes they introduced to us.

Not long after that we start a Tuvalu dance. We had split into 2 groups: a girls group and a boys group. Us girls had to follow Mary Ann and the boys leader was Molia.

The dance was short and sharp. All we needed to do was listen up and follow the instructions. As we did we finished learning the moves and actions.

Overall it was super fun getting to know about the islands of Tuvalu. And even though Tuvalu language week is in the holidays it's great two know we did something to celebrate it. And I bet all of us enjoyed that wonderful experience.

Taha Wairua ~

This my final Te Whare Tapa wha task. Which is Taha Wairua. Taha Wairua is based around your spiritual health. 

So basically I had to get a coloured object and say it in Maori. I've done this sort of task before so I concord it pretty well. This was a super fun task to finish. Hope to do it again sometime.
