EK News - T-Shpaed Literacy - Activity Five

 For this activity, we had to make an artwork, dance, song, or whatever about whatever you want but it has to tell a story. I choose to do a video about the environment. The story I did was that we need to take care of the environment more. I did this with Eden because we have a show called EK NEWS which stands for EDEN, KATELYN NEWS. I like doing videos with Eden. When we are older, we hope we can have an actual news show. It will be so much fun.

I enjoyed this activity because I like making videos because it is so much fun. When we were recording this video we messed up and a building was walking past and said that it was good. Eden and I were both embarrassed. 

It was difficult to film the video because we kept on messing up, but it was funny. My favorite part about this video is the bloopers because we had so many because we messed up lots, I had to get rid of some bloopers so the video does not go on for so long.

Hope you enjoyed this video, I certainly did! :)

Bird Of The Year

 We did the weekly quiz today and we got to choose what we wanted to make a blog post about. I like it when we get to choose what question we get to research about. I like it when we get to choose what we want to research because people like different things and people think different things are interesting. I thought this question was the most interesting. Yesterday we did the quiz, my group got 10. We did the quiz today because Miss Farr (my teacher) wanted to see what we remembered. We had to do it individually, I got 17 out of 20. I can remember the answers. 

I enjoyed this activity because I got to choose what I wanted to research about.

It was difficult to find lots of information.

I think you should do this with your class too.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Banksy - T-shaped literacy - Activity three

 

Kia Ora all!

For activity three we had two read these to articles https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.smithsonianmag.com%2Farts-culture%2Fthe-story-behind-banksy-4310304%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHISRDgomy_WYPiqEP72u4Cj1m and this one Graffiti: street art or a crime

Then we had to make something that tells people what Banksy is. I enjoyed this activity because we got to write lots of stuff and it was interesting. It was difficult to get non-copy writed pictures of his art because google images sometimes had pictures that are nothing related.

I think this a good way to teach people different things and thinking about different things that you would not normally think about. Now I always think about Banksy, is Banksy a girl or boy, what is Banksy's real name and so many different things.

Graffti street art or crime? - T shaped literacy - Activity two

 Kia Ora all!

This week we are learning about art and graffiti. We had to read this article (https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/graffiti-street-art-ndash-or-crime-868736.html) then answer these questions. What do you think about graffiti? Do you think those men should have been arrested? I think graffiti is a bad thing because you are destroying someone's property. It is ok if you ask them to see if it is ok to make art on someones thing that belongs to the person you are asking. If they said no then don't do it but if they say it is fine then do whatever you want. I think those men should have been arrested because graffiti is a bad thing to do. They should be old enough to know that graffiti is a bad thing to do and you should never do it. It is rude to make art on someones property without their permission. It would be fine if you did it on your own property because you own it.

Do you think graffiti is a good thing or a bad thing to do?

How to play soccor video

 Hi everyone!

For the past weeks, we have been writing scripts for a game that we want to teach others to play. I chose to do soccer because it is one of my favorite games is soccer. Yes, I know the camera is bleary ut I could not do anything to fix it. If you know how to fix it pls tell me in a comment. 

It was difficult to make this video because people did not listen to me and people were fighting over what roles they wanted to be in. It was a disaster.

I enjoyed this activity because we got to make a video on whatever game we wanted to make it of. 

I think you should try this to it is so much fun. My favourite part is the bloopers.

Hope you enjoyed this video

Capture the flag video

 

Kia ora all!

We had to make a video about a game called capture the flag. Capture the flag is a good game, My class and I have played this game lots of times. We made this video so we can teach others how to play this game. I suggest that you should lay this amazing game.

It was fun to make this video because Eden is such a funny person, she kept on saying that she was a calming referee and that she wanted me to say in the credits that the calming referee was Eden but I didn't I just said that she was the referee. 

It was difficult to make this video because we lost some footage of when you have to do 5-star jumps but that is fine. We just had to make this video with what we had.

I hope you enjoyed the video :)

Activity One - Paintng the town - T shaped literacy - Term 4

 

This week we had to answer 5 questions about art but before we did that we had to read a book all about art in Christchurch. We are doing 5 tasks for T - shaped literacy. After we finish all of the things we need to finish we are going to be doing watercolor. I am super excited because the last time I remember using watercolor was in preschool. 

I enjoyed this activity because I like to read and I liked to answer these types of questions because they have to get you thinking a bit more than the questions we usually have to answer. 

It was difficult to fit all of the information on the page, I had to get rid of a picture and explaining what we are doing. 

this is the picture of the book that we had to read so we could answer these questions.

I recommend that you should try this too. I hope you enjoyed :)

Toi moko

 

Kia ora all!

We did the weekly quiz for this week. We had to go in our house colours. My house colour (Kōwhai) only had three people, Lucy, Luke and I. The rest of our group went to athletics. We got 9/20. It is probably the best we have done. But we still came last but that is fine because at least we tried.

I enjoyed this activity because it was interesting to learn about what is a toi moko. I had no clue what a toi moko was but now I do. A toi moko is art on someone or somethings face. (there is more information about what a toi moko is in the picture at the top.

It was difficult to research about toi moko because there wasn't that much information about what a toi moko is but I just had to work with what information I could find. 

I like doing the weekly quiz because I get to learn something that I never really would have thought of researching.

We had 1 hour to create the picture at the top and blog it. It was hard but I got it done.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Our coral reefs are dying

 

Kia ora all!

Today we did the weekly quiz we do every week. This week Miss Farr choose the topic of the coral reefs that are dying. We had to go in our house groups for this quiz. My team got 7 out of 20. The quiz is really hard. The thing that was difficult for me was that we only had 30 minutes to do this. At first, I thought the topic Miss Farr choose was not interesting but it actually is. I enjoyed this activity because now I know I bit more about what is going on in the world. It's crazy that we might not have these coral reefs for a while because of pulltion and other stuff. Just read the picture at the top of this blog post to find out more. 

I think other schools should do the same thing we do, do a quiz, pick a question that is inresting then research it. It is so much fun.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Soccer

 Soccer

In the 19th century, England started kicking a ball on the field and now that is the famous soccer that we have today.

Half a game of soccer is 45 minutes, It is 90 minutes for a whole soccer game. The teams have to have the same amount of people. If there are more people in one team, people will have to have turns on the field.

To play soccer you need:

- 1 soccer ball

- 2 soccer goals

- color T-shirts that are two different colors

- Play on a field not concrete

 You can't touch the ball with your hands, you use your feet to move the ball in soccer. Only the goalie can touch the ball with their hands but they have to be in the goalie box.

The aim of the game is to get the ball in the goal. If you get the ball in the goal your team gets a point. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

You can trick the other team by pretending to go left but go right for one of your teammates to get a goal. If you are the goalie you should get away from the goal but still in the goalie box so if one of the players from the other team, you can go dive and get the ball off them to stop them from getting a goal.
