For the past week we have been learning about anzac, we also made some learning slides about the book our group read. The book we read was called Dawn service. We did three slides one every day or two, the third slide was my favorite it was a Minecraft create. I decided to make a biplane which is mentioned in the story.
Did any of your relitives go to war?
The past 2 weeks have been poetry week and my class have been making opposite day poems. First played a game of opposites which is where our teacher says a word and we have to say the opposite of what the word was, if you were to slow or said the wrong word you had to sit down. Then we started to write some sentences, I wrote lots of sentences but only chose a few. The bold parts are the bits that I worte, the other parts are the bits that we had to put at the start and end of our poems. We still have to print out and draw some opposite pictures on our work.
This is what I have written:
It’s Opposite Day It’s Opposite Day! The day to do things In the opposite way. A Cloud is heavy A boulder is light A mountain is short and A pebble is a big height I swim through the air and I fly through the ground I climb through the water and I fall through the ground It’s Opposite Day! Oh, wait, that’s not right. I think we should change it to Opposite Night! Tara Lee

For the past few weeks we have been doing some art, the art is called The seven elements of art. So far we have done Colour, Line and Shape. We have also started to do Texture and have been practicing to try do some Form.
First we did Line, the first thing that we did was watch a little video that explained what line art was. It also showed us a few examples of line art through the years. Then it was our turn, we used a art pencil and started to do our art! I am really happy with how my art turned out.
Then we did Shape, for shape we also watched a video, then we saw a few insparation photos on the TV. I decided to draw lots of shapes together and then colour each part different colours.
After that we did Colour, colour is my favorite one that I have finished so far. I did a multicoloured gradient, I really liked doing this one.
Finally we started Texture and form, for texture we got to choose what we wanted. I decided I wanted to do a lepord eye, I haven’t finished quite yet. Then we did Form, we haven’t started to draw the 3d shapes on our final art yet because we did a practice sheet.
We still have to do Value, Space and the Seven elements of art space. I really like how the art has turned out so far!
Do you like my Shape, Colour or Line best?
Today we had Manaiakalani, we were learning about Hoxes and diffrent types of media. We looked at some fake videos and pictures to guess what we thought was real. Then we when on Canva and learned how to remove the background of a photo and add a new one. We got to try to make a fake image.
How do you like mine?
Can you tell its fake?
What animal do you think I removed and replace with the bird?
For the past few weeks I have been drawing a book cover for twelve of my storys over the years.
These storys range from Naritives and Recounts, I have written them over the course of 2021-2024. Some of these story’s were the first few ones I ever wrote. I learned that somethings can change a lot over the years.
Here are some of my favorites:
Once in a lifetime
After the old pilot jumped on the baby green sea turtle, he gript his legs and arms to his turtle friend’s shell.The giant clouds cleared soon and they saw lots of plain fields.The old pilot thought he saw a farmer leading a young horse. Now he felt sick so he looked back at the front and he saw his giant friends landing on a golden sand beach and clear blue waves. He was amazed. He thought of making a house but he looked at his turtle. He decided to make a stable and a house. He lived happily ever after.
Willow Bank
“Crunch!” footsteps hit the gravel as people walk up to Willowbank the Wildlife Reserve. Mum, Nate and I hurry along the path to get to the door, inside standing in line. Me and Nate grab some Bird food and Farm animal food. When we got to the front of the line Mum paid and we got a map of the area, first is Wild New Zealand then Heritage New Zealand and Natural New Zealand.
We start by seeing a Tui enclosure at the edge of the café. The second animal we saw was massive eels that were in water next to the wooden path we were walking on. As we continued along the path we saw a few chickens strutting around, so Nate fed some of the Bird feed mix to them, at first they hesitated but finally they ate a bit. Next there was a little hut that had a paddock of Fallow Deer in it, the deer were so friendly and ate some farm feed out of my hand. After the cute Fallow Deer there were lots of ducks everywhere in the waters surrounding the paths. The next main animals we saw were Swans, Ducks and Geese, my favorite one of these animals was a type of Geese called Sebastapol Geese that had really curly white feathers. After the water birds was an enclosed area that had some Wallabies lying sleeping in the corner. There was also a big cage with exquisite colourful parrots in it. Some of these birds were Cockatoos, Parakeets, Cool white and red birds, quails and Big black birds that had stunning red underneath their wings!
This was my favorite part of going to Willow bank and I really enjoy going to see animals anywhere. I also saw Macaws, Otters, Capybaras, Kiwis and Ring-tailed lemurs!

Today I learned how to make a animation on Canva! First we got shown how to add a image into Canva then we were shown how to grab the object that we animate. I decided to use this photo from camp a few years ago, my goal was to turn the spiny wheel how do you think I did?
I don’t think I made I quite right but I still tryed my best!
For the past week I have been makeing a animation about the school holidays. I decided to do it about when Sophie and Indi came past my house to say Hi. I really enjoyed makeing the charaters especially, The hardest part for me was makeing the backrounds for the different scenes!
The description is.
On Sunday Indi and Sophie walked to my house. We decided to go for a walk down the street and saw a view over the town. Then we when to the look-out and looked at the view over the airport.
I really like the end result but what do you think?
For the past Term we have been writing story’s about the topic ‘I Heard a whisper but no one was there’. We have been writing thease because Miss Lang is showing us how she marks our work, we have written this story so our students in our class to mark in Rubriks.
My story is based on a beach, with an elderly lady. A voice whispers “You shall leave or else you shall never.”
I have learned how to grade writing properly.
Here is my finale work.
T3 TL I heard a whisper when nothing was there

For the last term we have been makeing country brochures, thease are about the country that we used for our Potato Olympics. I used New Zealand for my potato so I have researched facts about New Zealand to make my brochures! I have learnt lots of cool facts about New Zealand that I never used to know, my favorite fact is that New Zealand was one of the last country’s to be inhabited! I also learn that Kowhai and Pohutukawa are both national flowers of New Zealand. I really enjoyed making these brochures because we had to reshearch our country. I love what my brochures turned out like! Here is the finished peice!
