Huarakau - Te Reo Maori Term 4

Reading

Here is a screencastify of me reading a poem. We need to read clearly, with good pace fluency and expression.

Term 4 Art

This term we have completed two pieces of art.

One was inspired by an artist named Kadinsky who used coloured circles in his work.
We looked at the contrast between warm and cool colours and the black and white of the buildings.

Our second piece was using the Maori words we have learnt and using these to create a visual picture. The words become the shape of the picture.

One thing I did well was my buildings.

One thing I could improve on is my background

The hot air balloon

This week we have used a picture as motivation for our writing. We had a story starter and then
we had to carry on the story. What I like about my writing is that the picture helped me with my ideas.

I need to improve on not always starting my sentences with 'I saw'. We also made a google draw showing the things that we would
take with us in on the balloon.

I was driving to the race and suddenly we stopped at the

race and we quickly jumped outside and then we got in the
hot air balloon. I got up high in the air.
I saw lots of countries. I looked down  to the ground and then
I saw lots of people. I saw lots of birds below me.
I saw lots of people on the ground. I felt scared in the sky and
excited.I saw lots of tiny blocks on the ground.
I saw planes. I had packed a sleeping bag  
 I packed lots of lunch ,my water bottle ,my clothes .
