Paintings & drawings

This is my first painting of hills. It
shows shadowing.

This is my money drawing.
I chose Richard Pearse as the
person because he was a New
Zealander who flew a the first
motored plane. The plane next
to him is his plane. My bird was
the Moa because it is extinct and
I chose the fern because it grows
into a fern, so in a way it
represents young New Zealand.

This is my painting of some hills in
front of a sunset. The hills are shadowed.

Hoiho Call Onomatopoeia/Poem

I didn't finish colouring in

People came to the beach
The sun made them red.

Puew Puew Puew Puew Puew

The Hoiho said.

The surfers went into the water

But one of them hit his head.

Puew Puew Puew Puew Puew

The Hoiho said.

When it became afternoon there were fish and chips 

Until everyone was well fed.

Puew Puew Puew Puew Puew

The Hoiho said.

Then the people headed home

So they could go to bed.

Puew Puew Puew Puew Puew

The Hoiho said.

Explanation of the Karakia

My Artwork

I drew this because in the podcast the person talked about a fisherman composing a Karakia in the morning as he launched his boat, So, I drew him launching his boat in the morning.

Self & peer assessment

I give myself Relational because I made a timeline and a video explaining the parts of a modern aeroplane.

Zayvier: I give you a Relational because I think you could have added more to the timeline and given more to the video.

New Year's Eve Poem

New Year’s Eve Poem        

For New Year's Eve, we have a party.

Sometimes at our house,

Other times, somewhere else.

The kids play and watch movies,     

While the adults drink and chat. 

Sometimes, we keep going till midnight. 

Fifty fireworks fill the night sky, - Alliteration 

Going, going, right up high.

When they go off, they are as loud as a gunshot. - Simile

My ears ring so much they will explode.  - Hyperbole

We have snacks,

And run around.

But sometimes instead,

After 9:00 we go straight home to bed.

Hairy Maclary type story

The Magpies-Answers

1. ‘The bracken made their bed’: They used bracken as bedding
2. ‘Tom’s hand was strong to the plough’ He was strong enough to push the plough
3. ‘But all the beautiful crops soon went / to the mortgage man instead’ They must of got a mortgage to buy the farm and had to pay it back with their crops
4. ‘Old Tom’s gone light in the head’ Because he was getting old and because Elizabeth died he went a bit crazy
5. ‘The farm’s still there. Mortgage corporations / couldn’t give it away’ The farm was so old and wrecked the bank couldn’t sell it because of its disastrous state

Why do you think this changed in the last stanza? Because it was the end of the poem so it ended differently

Do you think this is a sad or happy poem? Why? Sad, because Tom and Elizabeth wanted a nice life but couldn’t make one because they owed the bank money and other bad things happened

Angus's copy of Tairāwhiti Quality Blog Posts

We are learning to make a quality blog post
I found this easy because it was well explained,
but getting the slide on was a bit hard.

For this task, I put myself on Multistructural.

I put myself here because: I didn't do very much in my group because there were to many people in my group. I tried to help where I could. I also did washed some dishes.

What I could improve on: I could try and work out our group so everyone got a chance to do something. I could encourage my teammates to get more involved.

Team Logo

This is my Team's logo.  It is a llama on a motorcycle. The background is mountains and ground. It was hard to draw but easy to paint. I did the banners. They were hard.
