                                          Te tuhi art gallery

On monday we went on a trip to the Te tuhi art gallery, It was my first going to the art gallery because I've never been there before. I was wondering what to ask about how they made this gallery and how many years has it been functioning for 34 years that is amazing I was looking forward to go to Te tuhi art place because I love art sometimes when I am bored I like to draw.

We finally arrived to the Te tuhi art gallery It looked so small but as we went inside it was quite big, We met our instructor and his name was Jeremy he was really kind to us we learned different type of tapa names. Like the masi which is an fijian name, the ngatu which is from tonga and also the siapo which is from samoa, we made our own tapa on a piece of the first thing we had to do was scrunch the paper and use dye so it looks real then we used a brown pastel and a pencil to finish it off.

Then Jeremy took us for a look around the place and it was fun because we got to see how other cultures like to draw. after Jeremy took us into this room where we have to see how they use to film in the olden days and how they film in the new days.

It  was an good experience for me because It was my first seeing different kind of art mixed with there cultures, I would want to go there in the holidays because It was fun to see a lot of people there enjoying art    

Technology

                                               Technology

Every Tuesday mornings some of the year 7 and 8 students walk down to Tamaki college for technology (Tech). at technology we have three different classes we have graphics, food  and hard materials. It’s good that we go to tech because we experience good things

It was fun at our first activities because we got to make chocolate brownies, the equipment we needed was cocoa,eggs,milk and we added a little bit of coconut crumbs. we had to mix the eggs with the milk so that it would have some taste in it then we put it in the oven, as I took a bite It filled my taste buds with joy.

In Graphics it is quite fun because we got to make 3D boxes. And its good to work with my friends because we get to make food and put it in the burger box, our teachers name was Ms heka she was the best because we  made a lot of different food.

Sometimes I feel like going to technology everyday because we get to experience good things. I like having good food teachers because we get to make anything like pasta or biscuits and other things on the last day.

Tangle Pattern

At the start of the term our teachers decided to make a class tangle pattern, to make a class pattern we had to listen to Ms Pagets instructions because we didn’t know what to do. It seemed really fun because we got to draw things that relate to your culture.

The first thing our whole class had to do was to search on google for some patterns because we were creating a class tangle. I was searching for some island design because it related to my culture, I was also looking at some maori design because it looks very interesting.

As the rest of the class was still planning there tangle patterns I had already started on my design, Ms paget had drew to  dots at the end of the tangle patterns so that were to finish our patterns. In my art I drew some lines and koru patterns

It was an very good experience, because we got to draw some really cool patterns and we could make it look very interesting. As soon as you finished you had to write a 4 paragraphs about what you just did.

Taniela's soccer

                           How to play Soccer

Every Monday mornings class 5 goes to the court to learn how to play soccer sometimes we have it on the field. Then our instructor introduced her self to us her name was Sofiya, she was a very kind instructor

We all had to go the yellow the first game we played was stuck in the mud, it was an very hard game because a lot of people got in the middle and we had to run away from them. It was fun because I kept on getting to the other side

Then Sofiya took us in to some real drills they were pretty easy because we just had to dribble the all around the cone and come back to our team. If we were good at doing our drills Sofiya would let us play a game of soccer

Sofiya put us all into equal teams in the other team they had a lot of experienced people in the other team. But when we played we were playing as a team but at the end of the game we beat them by a lot of points.

I was so happy that we ended up playing a Fifa world cup tournament because it was fun. Sofiya was a good instructor because she was teaching us how to play soccer

Taniela's Color wheel

Colour

Introduction paragraph

P1 - Primary Colors   Red,blue and yellow

P2 - Secondary colors  Green,orange and violet

P3 - Tertiary colors  Green,orange,gold,purple,navy and light blue

P4 - conclusion

Do you like colors well I do?, did you know that in the the primary colors there are red,blue and yellow there could be a little bit of green. Did you know that primary colors can be combined to make a useful range of colors.

In the secondary colors there are green, orange and violet and secondary colors are made by mixing two or more primary colors.

In our class we are painting about animals that are around the world, like sea life animals. In our painting we have to show a lot of details and have a lot of patterns for the animals inside body

I think that colours are a big thing of our lives because everywhere I go I see colors everywhere because a lot of people like to paint on there houses so it could look very nice.

It's Fiafia time

How I felt about Fiafia}

As the bell went I rush quickly to the Staff Room, so I can hear what our Tutor say’s to us. He told us to be proud to be a tongan and I was feeling confident to perform in front of our parents and the whole school, Then we had to go and sit down and wait for our name to be called up.

So then our tutor said that we were going to be after the Fijian group. So then they called out our name straight after the Fijian group was finished we marched on as a group I was very nervous my legs were shaking, then I heard someone say my name and I felt alot better it look like there were only a little bit of people but there were lots of them.

A Moment later we walked past the crowd, it was so dark I couldn’t see anybody. Then they turned on the light I could smell a lot of delicious food I asked mum If I could have something to eat then she bought me some chop suey, It was very delicious I wanted some more but we had to go home.

At the end of Fia fia I felt very happy because I got to  perform with my friends and got to eat at the end.

Into the book

Decimals

Multiplication in Parts with large numbers

 I had a really good time learning Multiplication in parts with larger numbers.

Double number line

 I had a good time learning double number line.

Science Experiment

Everyday the intermediate block has rotation,We always go to Mr Barks class. Every time we go to  Mr Barks class it is so fun because we get to do science and it is kind of dangerous because it could cause a explosion. Everytime we go there I always race so i could get a bean bag because everybody always races to the bean bag so thats why I race to it before I would have to sit on the floor.

We had to listen to Mr Barks or else we would the fail the experiment you had to have a plastic cup  then you put dish detergent in one cup,then put oil into the other cup. Later if you are finish you have to pour the dish detergent into the oil cup then put water and then you will see 3 layers on it.

As we put it in the Dish detergent there were three layers the order went dish detergent,then oil and then dish detergent. it looked very cool because it looked like it had hair in it when we put the ice cube in it everybody thought it was going to end up on  

top but then it sank.

At the end I never thought that it would be fun but now I think Science is really fun because of what we did today.

Here we come breakers

A few days ago on Tuesday some of Pt England primary and intermediate student went to Tamaki college just just to meet the Breakers. It was really fun because people got to play against them,They were so good that they were just landing a lot of tricks and keep tricking us with the ball

As we were playing against the Breakers my favourite player came and sat beside me and his name was Cj Bruton. He looked so tall on TV but when I met him he wasn't that tall I kept on asking Cj a lot of questions like how do you get a lot of 3 pointers. And he told me just focus and as you are going to throw the ball bend your wrist

Later that day the Breakers was signing some papers I had ran to Cj Bruton first because he is a star, And later my Breakers form was all full by there signatures. And after that I wanted to get all there signatures but the whole team wasn't there so then I just went with it.

And at the end of the day I felt very happy because I got to meet the Breakers and got a lot of signatures from the Breakers,Also got to play against even when they won’t my team I still had a great time with them
