My MAGNIFICENT Hoiho artwork

Fun new activity in art!!! Two weeks ago in Ruma Rua we have been doing art of New Zealand native birds like the Tui, Fantail and Kiwi. We each had to choose a bird to draw I picked the Hoiho also known as in english yellow eyed penguin. Here's a very interesting fact about them. Did you know that the colour yellow in there eye is caused by a chemical called carotene which is also high in vitamin A? In the past few weeks in our class we have been learning about geometric shapes in maths. So we decided to draw geometric shapes inside our NZ native bird drawings. For the background we used a circle to make a moon in the back of our birds to make the legs, head or body stand out. What is your favourite NZ native bird tell me in the comments? Then we had to colour the background using a cue tip to go around the moon because if you use a paint brush it can get in the moon and for the rest after using the cue tip do it with a paint brush so it will be quicker. Tell me in the comments if you like my artwork...!!!

Life, Fear and Success...speech...

Today in Ruma Rua we have been learning about how to write speeches. My speech topic is about Life, Fear and Success. It’s about one whole topic which is life. But in life the things you have to do to become successful and how to overcome fear and follow your dreams. Sadly I didn’t make it in the speech finals. I wanted to make my speech different from others. That's why I decided to make this speech. Do you like my speech? Tell me in the comments.

Life, Fear and Success 

Have you ever thought how we could get rid of fear? Have you ever thought how we could get rid of fear and bring success instead? Have you ever thought how we could get rid of fear and bring success instead and live a good life? I genuinely believe that in life we should follow our dreams to become successful by facing challenges without fear. Then, each one of you will definitely reach your destination. 

Firstly, I would like to bring your attention to our life. In life, we do things we wish we had never done, some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads but they all make us who we are and in the end they shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them, we wouldn’t be the person we are. So just live, make mistakes, have wonderful memories, but never ever second guess who you are. Where you have been, and most importantly where it is you are going.

Secondly, Fear- Fear is a state of mind where someone has got an unpleasant feeling, such as something is going to happen. So we do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing. That is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear. What would life be, if we had no courage to attempt anything?. Be real with how you feel. Focus on positive thoughts. Practice self care.  

Thirdly, Success - Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful in life. Failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success. To be successful in life, work hard. Don’t ever fool yourself, success comes from real hard work. 

 I conclude my speech by giving you all tips to follow to become successful in your life. They are: see your goal, understand the obstacles, create a positive mental picture, clear your mind of self doubt, embrace the challenge, stay on track and show the world you can do it! You can do it! You can do it!

First of all we had to find some cards with holy bible quotes that jesus said and put them on our posters and create a vibrant background that stands out.

Is mr wolf guilty of first degree murder in the story of little red riding hood?

Have you ever heard of the story of little red riding hood before? Well in the story little red riding was walking in the woods one day to visit her sick grandmother with some food while she was walking she met a wolf who wanted to know where she was going so he asked where she was going little riding hood told the I'm going to visit my grandmother then the wolf asked where does your grandmother live little riding hood told her grandmothers address. If that didn't happen she wouldn't of got eaten and her grandmother to. Then the huts man herd little red riding hood scream and killed the wolf so he's the one who actually murdered. Because little red riding hood and grandmother were still alive in wolf's tummy. This story is originated from germany where the brothers of Grimm wrote this story. It is said that people can only shoot wolves in germany if they cause any damage such as eat sheep's destroy property if not it is illegal. In my opinion I think the wolf in the story of little red riding hood has not committed first degree murder. What do you think tell me in the comments?...

My Best Saint...

Another fun activity awaits today we have been learning about Saints. For this activity we had to go on google drawings and create a poster about our Saint. My saint is Saint Francis of Assisi. Did you know that Saint Francis can talk to animals? I enjoyed finding interesting facts about Saint Francis and making him. I found it a little difficult to research facts about my Saint. I would really appreciate it if you would comment on what I could change next time. What did you like about my poster?...

Facts about sea turtles and my new friend blossom...

Are you ready to meet my new friend blossom she's really friendly and she's a turtle...But blossoms not any ordinary turtle she's a magical turtle...So Today we had to draw a turtle and write facts about them. My turtle is very cute. We had to draw with a pencil but I drew with a pen I was challenging myself and we also had to watch a video to draw but I watched the video without putting the sound on. Next we had colour our turtle I used the tip of hair a brush to dip some nail polish instead of using felts crayons or any other things because I didn't have any. I still managed to do a good job though. 

A Compassionate Friend Forever… speech…

In my opinion I think that dogs have greater qualities than cats. Through this piece of writing, I will outline three arguments that will support my thinking and convince you to side with me. 

Firstly, Dogs have greater qualities than cats. They are trustworthy and they can follow their master commands. Unlike cats who follow their own rules. Dogs are very useful, they can be used in police forces and they have a great sense to hunt down hidden items. Scientists guess that the sense of dog's smell is somewhere between 10,000 to 100,000 times more critical than ours. Cats can sense it but they aren't as accurate as dogs. 

Secondly, Dogs are not only friendly but also act as a guard of our home. Dogs provide security day and night from thieves and criminals because of their highly intense hearing sense quality. Dogs are very intelligent and they can notify if there is any unusual incident such as fire by barking.

Lastly, Dogs are very affectionate and love the company of human beings. In some instances, dogs are taking care of kids and protecting them from any hazards. If you are alone, dogs give you a great companionship and they are very friendly too...Therefore, based on the facts outlined above, I strongly agree that dogs have greater qualities than cats.

Are you a cat fan or a dog fan?

 It's confusing when someone asks you do like cats better or dogs? It's also pretty challenging when someone says to you that you can only pick one...But remember that dogs and cats have their own qualities. For me I'm actually obsessed with cats but I also like dogs too...In my next blog post it will be a writing/speech about why I think that dogs are better than cats. As much as I love dogs I love cats more...Do you have dog or cat tell me down in comments?...We learning about persuasive writing how to convince someone what you believe what you think and for them to take action in what you say...Tell me in the comment what I could change next time...
