Matariki Art

 At school we have been learning about Matariki and we decided to make some art. This is how we made our art.

What you need:

Newsprint paper

Pencil

Scissors 

Mountain range image 

Black paper

Chalk pastels 

Stick on stars

Glue stick

White mounting Paper

First  you need to get your pencil,  scissors, newsprint, and a device. On your device you need to search up mountain ridge pick one that you like and try to draw it on your newsprint don’t make it too big Then cut out the newsprint. Then place the newsprint on the black paper don’t stick it. Next grab the chalk pastels and put them sideways. Then stroke them up the page. Then use your fingers to blend it. Next grab the hair spray and spray it on the page to make the chalk pastels stay on. Then grab some white mounting paper and stick it on the back of the page.

Tidy Numbers

 This week my maths group has been learning Tidy numbers. You can use tidy numbers when you have maths problems  like  198+56. Tidy numbers helps when you have big numbers that are hard to put together. tidy numbers can help you depending on the type of problem.

                                              Have you learnt about tidy numbers before?

Giant Skateboard

 Today We had three people come to our school to show us a ginormous Skateboard that they had made to promote skateboarding and the New Zealand team in the Olympics. It was way bigger than any of the seniors. I only just had to bend down to fit underneath it. On the bottom there was a really cool pattern. The skateboard was 18 times bigger than a usual skateboard.                                                                                                                                               Have you ever seen a skateboard this big?
