Installation Art

Hello bloggers. This term for the Waikowhai Primary School Art Festival my class decided to do a house and it's filled with rubbish. We decided to do this because the world is filled with rubbish and it's like were filling our house with rubbish. So we only had to take a few students to help build the house, but after 8 weeks we managed to finish the house. We had to do a slideshow about the installation Art and we had to get into groups and present it to 1 of the classes in the school. Then we had to do a sign about pollution and put it around the house.

           

   

                                                 

                                                                      

Oat the Goat thinking hats

Hi Bloggers. This week for reading our teacher gave us this task called Oat the Goat thinking hats. So there was this link that goes to a online story called Oat the Goat. The whole story was about bullying, so first it asked us the reading language and we had to choose either Maori or English. Next we had to choose either read the story to yourself, let the story read to you and watch the video of it. I chose the language to English and to let the story read to me. Then I got to watch the video. There were also some parts in the story where you can pick sides and choose options, when you choose one option Oat will do the option you picked and some options are wrong and one option is right. If you want to see it for yourself here is the link. Next we have to do a Oat the Goat thinking hats and we had to put all of our information to the thinking hats.

Tiritiri Matangi

Hello bloggers. 3 weeks ago for inquiry we were learning about animals and pollution, so we decided to go to Tiritiri Matangi which is a wildlife sanctuary that people can visit. We had to go to school at 7.30 in the morning because the bus came at 7.50. The bus stopped at the city and we had to walk to the ferry that went to Tiritiri Matangi. In the ferry we ate morning tea and if we had money we could buy stuff in the ferry. When we arrived on Tiritiri Matangi we had to put 2 groups into 1 group and each group had a guide. After our guide introduced herself we went on this 1 hour walk and during the walk we saw these rare New Zealand native birds like the Saddleback, Stitchbird and the Kereru. After the walk we went to the visitors centre and we ate lunch there. After we ate lunch and we had to do a scavenger hunt. We had to go back to the Wharf and we had to wait for the ferry. When we got in the ferry, the ferry took off to go to the city. When we arrived at the city we got in the bus to go back to school.
