The Hard Task Master

n Te Ngahere we have been doing task master, which means working together. How this game works there is one drawer and two runners in a team. The teacher put a picture outside the class and the two runners take turns to tell the drawer where to draw. But there are few rules: 1. The runner can’t point to the paper to tell the drawer where to draw. 2. The drawer can’t move from it’s seat. 3. Also the drawing have to draw accurate as the teacher drew on the paper. I was the runner in my group it was really hard not pointing on the paper some people were putting there hands behind their back.The task was hard but super fun we also did this two times. Have you ever done something like this in a group?

The Lined up Food Web

 This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about Food Web. A food web is a interconnection of various kinds of food chains.

Difference between my food web and my teacher’s food web:

 

Teacher	Mine
Coloured arrows	Single colour arrows
More food chains	Less food chain
Scattered pictures	Pictures are in a line

The Teachers Food Web  My Food Web

 

Arrows in the food web represents the flow of energy moving from one organism to another.

I learnt who eats who in the food web. In future would like to know more about it and how the energy is flowing from one organism to another among various food chains.  Do you know what an ecosystem is?

Have you  ever studied Food Webs?

A Famous Artist Called Roy Lichtenstein

 

   In Te  Ngahere we have been learning  about Roy Lichtenstein.

 I found out that Roy Lichtenstein was born in  New York in 1923.  We are learning about Roy Lichtenstein because  he is a famous artist and we used his technique.  He also used a technique called Ben Day Dots these are small dots that gives texture to his paintings.My class has been doing self portraits using Ben Day dots. Did you know that Roy Lichtenstein also did sculptures too? His first sculpture was called house.

The Unknown Tsunami Evacuation

 When I arrived at school everyone was lining up,I was so confused because I didn't what was going on. Then suddenly Mrs Lindsay told me to come with her up the hill behind the school. I was so blank, why were we  going up the hill? So I went up the hill with the whole school. When we reached up the top of the  hill my legs were sore and i was dizzy . I saw everybody was worried  I asked my friend what is going on? She said there’s a  tsunami alert  in Paihia, my brain went upside down. I have only seen tsunami evacuation in movies  but not in real life I was totally blank, I shook my head and then closed my eyes tight. I just said it is a dream but when I open my eyes it wasn't a dream. Then I asked her why is there a tsunami alert here? My jaw dropped when I heard what she was saying, there was an  earthquake down south  which was very strong. This  lead to a tsunami, I was so terrified and scared.This was happening to me for the  first time in my whole 10 years of living on earth!!!! Some of the kids were calling their parents to check  if they're  ok, after a while i didn’t hesitate and asked  Whaea  Becks to call my mom. I was really happy that she was coming, after 1 hour my mom picked me up and we went to KeriKeri to a safe place because it is hilly. Have you been in a tsunami
