Kennings

Today in homeroom time I learnt what a Kenning is. If you are unsure or unfamiliar of what this is well i'm here to tell you. To make a kenning first think of something... for example an animal. lets go with a bunny, so what is some adjectives about it or things it does. well it hops so lets say A BIG hopper. now that ends with an er all the lats words have to end with er. now what else does it do? it eats carrots so we could say a carrot muncher or a carrot lover. now you guess what it is. if you guessed it you made a kenning. for a short explanation. its a poem that gives you little hints that obviously ends with er. your probably wondering 'Oscar... what's your one? well here it is and I found it hard to think of what it does and easy to draw it here it is!

timetables

No. this isnt your daily cheat im not gonna tell you what 100 x 38. but instead this is about time. we ruled out a box 13 x 7 that's what I did  we write down names of train stops? in the left side of the box and the departure time on the left. we then got asked three questions "How long does it take to get from leather head to Epsom" "How long does it take to get from Wimbledon to Waterloo" "how long does it take to get from Epsom to Waterloo" at the end I will show you the answers :D did you know these are real places. I found it hard to fit it in (i was at the bottom of my page) I found it easy to do the answers.




have you been to one of these places? if so what one? "

 sorry if you cant see it :(

                                                                                      

name art

For art we had to make a name art. We took the first letter from our name and draw it on a small piece of paper we did our letter really big. we then either did patterns in our letter our outside. the patterns were zig zags or zen tangle. If you don't know what zen tangle patterns are they are patterns tyhat look real and cool. I did normal patterns because i'm not really good at art. I decided to do mine on the outside. I found it easy to do the letter but hard to think of the patterns. did you do something like this?

here it is

Collage

For literacy we had to make a collage about the story ïn the beginning¨ if you don´t know what a collage is it is  where you can only use different shapes to make a picture of something. in the story in the beginning these Maori things try to separate their parents I made the one that managed to do that!

I learnt how to make a collage and more about Maori stories.

I found it hard to make it and easy to think of the one to make


Have you made one of these? if you have was it hard?

Surfing

On Friday, the year sixes and fives went to the Sumner beach to learn how to surf, Body board, and maybe actually using your body to surf.  We got told about keeping yourselves safe, how to surf (going through the stages on your stomach, push yourself up twist your foot and pull up.) we got giving our wet suits ones that fit us. and went to get change into them. we got out and my group (Dolphins) (we got given group names) went body boarding first or you can call it boogie boarding. We had to wait for the surfing people to get down to the beach first and then we went. We got given a purple vest and went into the water. Me and the rest of my group went out to a MASSIVE wave and started to hop on, the wave WHOOSHED us back to shore and we did the Shuckers sign which means that you got an AMAZING wave. once we were done we got something to eat and went down to make sand Castles. we got into groups and made some then we got group photos (Hopefully I can show you them :D and some more) the last thing my group did before  going back to school, was the SURFING my favorite.
we got reminded about the stages and got into the water. i walked in and saw my first wave. i walked up to it and started to pedal away and then it hit me Three power splashes. pushing myself up twist my foot and stand up I just got up and I hit shore "WHOA!".  But it was fun so it was fair :D

I found it easy to surf but harder to body board even though I've done it!

Have you been surfing or body boarding if so then did you enjoy it? BYE!

Fractions and blocks

For Math´s we had to go onto a sheet. On the sheet it had to blocks that we had to draw, and then we would be givin a fraction like 1/8 of 32 and we would shade in the blocks of the number that it equaled so it would be 8. so we would shade in eight blocks. We are learning to read fractions better and how to draw them and shade them in. learnt how to read fractions better. I found it easy to draw the fractions but hard to work them out

Where is? Kei hea

For te reo Maori we are learning to say whean an object is. We learnt about what the singular and plurals in Maori. Kei hea te or a- Where is
kei hea nga- where are. If you dont know what a Plural is it means multiple. sdo basically if I had six carrots then that means I have plural carrots. And singular is basically a single thing (One) so if I had one carrot in my hand then I would have a singular carrot.

here are some for you

kei hea ____ Kuri?

kei hea ____ Jane?

kei hea ____ wherpaku?


and here is the picture BYE! :)
