My Dot Art Preparations.

My Dot Art: Preparations

At the moment in Te Kahu, we are creating Dot Art and it is really fun. I have not yet completed it yet but I will be posting about it when I am done with it so you can see it. I have chosen to work on a dog because I love dogs very much. I chose to do all the abstract colors on my dog so the colors stand out and you can still see the shape of my dog. I am using a pencil for the fine dots and a cotton bud for all the outlines and inner colors. To create the picture we had to find a picture on Google and put it on a doc and into our learning folder so our teacher could print it off for us. Then we would get some A4 paper and trace over it on either the window for easier use or the table if it was very bold. I am really loving this art project and I would also love to do it again. I will put up a picture of the complete piece when it is done.

Wonderful Google Drawing

Wonderful Google Drawing 

In Te kahu we had to do a Google Drawing on a word that we loved. I chose Wonderful. I thought of this word and I thought 'Yes this is the word' and that's when I made a Google Drawing of the word. This task was very calming and fun and I love to do tasks like this because it takes my mind away to my own world while I work. One thing challenging about this task was making all the shapes and putting them into the right place. I would really love to do this task again because it was so much fun.

The Cardioid

The Cardioid By Poppy

In Te Kahu we had a task and it was to make something called a Cardioid. A Cardioid is a curved shape that is hand-drawn and we had to make one. It was very challenging because we had to create our own chart. We had this because it helped us rule out where we needed to go with the ruler so we could draw the lines in the right place. I really loved this task because it was very calming for me and it had a bit of challenges to it as well. It also revised me on my Times Tables because we had to use them in this task. I was pretty successful with this task because the instructions were pretty easy to follow and I enjoyed it very much. I would love to do this task again because it was very fun. 

    This is a Cardioid. 

My Animation!!!!! Are there any human subspecies?

My Animation on if there are any Human Subspecies?

For this weeks contract we had to create an animation based on our wonder that we want to learn more about. I did an animation on if there are any human subspecies and it turns out there is! I loved creating my animation because it was very funny, challenging and it also helped me understand the subspecies a bit more. I created about 27 slides, 6 characters at least, and about 3 different places/landscapes. My favorite part of making the animation was probably creating all of the funny characters and all of the things that they would say. Feel free to give me either feedback or feed forward it would be much appreciated! Hope you like it!

Look Through the keyhole

Looking Through A Keyhole. 

At the moment in Te Kahu, there was a task for our week 3/4 Literacy Contract called the Keyhole Art. For this task we had to create what we would like to see through a keyhole and it was so much fun! I decided to draw an Enchanted Forest with a bridge leading towards it. I also added some fairies to add some effect to the forest to make it look Enchanted. My favorite part of the picture would be the center part of the picture where the bridge leads to the enchanted flowers, because they really do look magical and add a very cool effect to the picture. I think the part that I did not enjoy would be trying to draw the tree's because they were very hard to draw in a picture, and they almost ended up looking crooked! This is probably one of my favorite task that I have done so far in this term and I can't wait if we decide to do something like this again!

This was one of the pictures that inspired me to make the Keyhole Art. It really helped me a lot. 

Digestive System Drama!

Digestive System Drama! 

At the moment in Te Kahu we are learning about the Digestive System! Our task was to create an Informative report about what it is and how it works, which was very interesting for me because I did not know much about what it was, and I learn't a lot! I found out that we have something called the Esophagus in our throat's that pushes the food down when we swallow it, and I was very confused because I did not know about it. For the report I had to research, and read some Wonderopolis Article on the Digestive System so I could understand them better and that was very fun! My favorite part of the report was gathering information because I enjoyed looking at all the websites that I visited because they were very interesting. I would definitely do this task again, because it was very fun and interesting and I learned lots! 

  This is our Digestive System!

My Maori Hero!

My Maori Hero: Lisa Carrington

This week for our week 10 Contract we are focusing on selecting a Maori Hero that we want to learn about. I chose Lisa Carrington. The famous New Zealand Olympic Athlete! She is very fun to write about and I am learning lots about her! My favorite part was publishing the book about her which is still a work in progress but looks great! I also found out that Lisa used to do Nippers Surf Life Saving like me which was how she got into Flat Water Canoeing! She is a 5 time champion and people are now starting to call here New Zealand's best Olympian! I would love to do this more often because it was really fun and inspired me lots!
