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.

Aeroplanes timeline, parts video & peer assessment

Timeline

 

Parts video







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.

  2. We sanded the blocks too much so some had curved corners, making it hard to put the blocks together.
  3. We sanded the corners down with the sander. 
  4. Cut them perfectly.
