Silhouette Art

This week we have been working on our silhouette art. First we chose to use either hot (yellow, orange, red) or cold (blue, purple, black) colours. I chose cold colours. Both included white. Then we had to choose an animal, I chose a owl. And draw it onto a piece of black paper. After that we cut it out and glued it onto our painting. I really enjoyed painting and drawing and cutting out my artwork.  I am really proud of my work.I hope that we get to do art in the future.

Cross Country

Last week on Friday, Paihia School held their annual Cross Country at Bledisloe Domain. This week Te Ngahere  had to write recounts about Cross Country. Instead of writing about the whole day, we had to just write about one part of it. I wrote about waiting for the race and running the race.  I think did well to include some descriptive language and also using paragraphs correctly. I could works on using more detailed words and interesting adjectives. This is just a draft piece of writing.

This week we have been learning about online gaming and the effects it has on your mind and body. As part of it we answered a questionnaire about the gaming, it included things like do you play online games of some sort? Does your school work suffer from gaming and have you tried to limit your gaming time? Then we made an infographic showing the statistics of our class. I was amazed at the amount of people who DO play computer games.
