Curiosity Quest - Cats

In Wananga we have been doing something called a Curiosity Quest, Maddison and I decided we should make a slide about Cats. If you want to know some facts about cats then you should check out this slide. BYE :)

Impasto Painting

This term in Art we have been focusing on Impasto painting. We first got given a practice piece of paper to practice on and then we got given a small piece of a Van Gogh painting and once we have finished painting it all the pictures connect together and makes a pot of flowers. Impasto painting is a painting technique that uses thick layers of paint. It took a few tries to get the colours right because I either put to much or not enough of a colour so when all the painting's came together some painting had different colours then others so they all weren't the same but they still all looked good!

Here is what the painting's looked like!

The Empty Pot

Today in Hurumanu we listened to a story called 'The Empty Pot.' It was about a boy named Ping and he lived in China and all the children had to grow a beautiful flower using a seed that was given from the Emperor. After we listened to the story we had to do a few activities, the first activity was we had a few questions to write a sentence about. We then had to make our own word find with some of the main words about the story. This is what my word find looks like!

You could have a go at trying to find the words highlighted!

Any feedback is appreciated :)

 

Math Games

For Maths we have been working on long multiplication and place value. We had some questions to answer about multiplication. I found that the questions were quite hard to do because I couldn't really figure out how to work out the answer. My score at the end was 5/10 from the long multiplication.

FIJI WINS GOLD!

Today in Hurumanu 2 we did some activities about the Olympics. We did some research and wrote about Fiji winning a gold medal at the Olympics in the Rugby sevens.

Olympic Gold was won by the Fiji Rugby Sevens team on 27-12 last evening (NZ time).

The game was against New Zealand who ended up winning Silver Medals.

Fiji’s captain is Jerry Tuawai. He said this win was very special because they had to go into lockdown after Easter. They have not seen their children since.

They spent most of that time shut up in a hostel in Suva, training in a gym they built in a garage. When they were on their way to Japan the Fijian team got stuck on a cargo flight, along with some crates full of fish and these sort of experiences helped them form a very tight group of people which makes for a great big celebration after their superb teamwork.

Here are some images of the winners.
