Wig Wednesday

On Wednesday Parkvale School decided to have wig Wednesday to support the cancer society. Every student got to make or buy a wig to support those who have cancer. We had a great time creating our funky wigs and enjoyed taking photos with the class we all worked together like a whanau. My buitful(beautiful) wig had long curls with pink and purple patterns on it. I am glad we had wig Wednesday because we were  not only helping people we also had lots of fun creating these awesome wigs. First you cut some peices of paper then you clue them on and keep gluing.

This is me and my friends cutting strips of paper 

This is me helping my buddy to finish her wig

Matariki

  We have been learning about the seven sisters  in other words matariki.                         
We discovered that the real meaning  of matariki is a maori new year when they get together ,have kai and celebrate .

We celebrated by
 getting together in home room 4 .Then some people went and got our visitors  to help. We went through the rules before we headed off. I was creating a  beautiful kite with toi toi. It was a fun experience .Something that challenged me  was weaving the flax underneath the kite. It took  us quite a while to get the hang of it. We decided to do ours a bit different . Instead of weaving our flax's on top we weaved it under . Our kite wasn't  about the looks it was more about how it flew.  In the end  we did't get to fly it  because it was more of a decoration and it would wreck our kite.

Something I enjoyed about doing this is adding all the ingredients. I am proud of my work because I  got to work with lots of people and have  fun with them in my new class. Something I found hard was smashing the ice because it was so cold. 

Something I learnt when writing instructions was how to write my hook and how to start a sentence with verbs. 

Art

I am learning how to blend my colors with out  using my fingers I use my fingers a lot and find it hard to not use them in art especially art. I love my art because it looks real and like I am in the photo. My favorite part about this art is that I get to shade all types of the colors. I enjoy art a lot so for me it is pretty fun I found it easy er(easier) when I used the white it helped me blend my colors together. Something that has challenged me is trying not to ues my fingers I am very proud of my work because i did an awesome job  on my hills and river. You have to have a vanishing point because other wise it will not look like the river has disapeared you want the river to disappear or it wont look like its going in the distance.
