Matariki

For reading this week we have been learning to compare and contrast.We have been reading about Matariki and the stories about it from different countries. In my group, we discussed the similarities and differences between all the stories around the world. We had to work out how we would present our discussion on our blog. We choose to do it on slides,

I enjoyed reading about different stories. I found it frustrating when I wanted to blog and some people had not finished their part of the presentation.

Measurement

 This week I've been learning to measure my height and my other body parts. It has been tricky to tell how high I was because I would be taller than the tape.

 

Perseus.

For weeks I've been learning how to infer about Perseus. Inferring is when the author leaves clues but doesn't tell you. We had to infer what Perseus was like. Was he mean? Was he brave? Then we had to give evidence from the story to say why we thought that. 

My favourite part of the story was the man who turned into stone. I found it tricky to choose the shapes to put in my writing and I found it easy to remember and retell the story to others.

Why don't spiders stick to their web?

For the past few weeks we have been doing explanation i was learning to use a diagram i had to labelle my diagram and explained my diagram have you ever done a piece of explanation

 Why don’t spiders stick to their webs?

A spider is a small creature with 8 legs and two body parts. Most spiders spin webs to catch flies and insects and to lay eggs. 

Spiders have hairs on their legs. Their hairs on their legs aren’t big enough to stick on the web.

Spiders clean themselves. they clean silk and dirt off themselves so there is nothing to stick on the web.

Thirdly, spiders move quickly  and nimbly. Only the very tips of their legs make contact with the web which means there is not enough for the spiders to stick to it.

Finally not all parts are sticky.The parts of the web that are not sticky are where the spider rests and where he or she runs. 

Some of the reasons that spiders don’t stick to their web are they have hairs on their legs, they clean themselves,

they move quickly and nimbly and not all parts are sticky.

Samoan Language Week

Talofa lava. This week we have been saying The Lord's Prayer in Samoan. I've been doing Samoan art, Samoan people make this kind of art but make it differently. They make a dress thats' like this art for girls to dance in.They also put tapa cloth on their walls and their floors. We do the same - I am Tongan. The boys wear it too so they can do a sasa. Sasa is a Samoan word  for a group dance  performed by males  and females.

Have you ever done a sasa or spoken Samoan?

Anime Sketch

 For the past few weeks I have been doing a anime sketch but I did it differently I decided to do Levi from Attack on Titans Mixed with Spongebob with crooked teeth. I first started hair pushed hard for the shading and then smudged the hair to give it more effect.    

It was been tricky to do Levi so I did mixed it up with Spongebob this made  it easier to do.

I am proud of my work.

Piskel Sprite Art.

This week I've been creating a fox on Piskel Sprite.  Piskel Sprite is a site where you create stuff on it and to be honest I enjoyed it.

If you are creating something on Piskel Sprite make sure to save it because on Tuesday I forgot to save my fox art and I had to restart.Make sure to Download it when you are creating something. Then you can upload it onto your Blog or whatever you want.

Here's my fox. Have you ever created a Sprite?
