Art Exhibition! :]

 On Friday, the Fourth of December. We had an art exhibition. In this case, we walked around the school, each class/team had art, revolving around a topic. After being concocted by a student, they would then create it and the piece would then be put on display. All classes walked around the school, finding themselves in different classes with unique art. Our class (Room 4) started off by going into team 4. Their art revolved around Pasifika inspiration. Their art would show with a Polynesian pattern, with a description of its origin. I found this quite interesting! It was helpful to know more about my culture. Well done team 4! As we walked across the pavilion deck, we turned and met team 1’s art. It was absolutely lovely seeing amazing art by such young minds. Their art included a vast summary of a picture, for example, a house or field used with multiple, bright colours. So far, these were some of my favourite pieces. After looking around, and acknowledging the art, we cut through the door and moved through a corridor including last art expo’s art. Eventually, this led to the ICT room, which mostly involved art created by the extension group, I even saw my art! :D

My favourite art was created by team 1 and 2. The reason being that it was incredible seeing such amazing art created by youthful artists. They had many pieces including the following: Picasso inspirations, Indian elephants, Tye dye shirts, Drawings of Taniwhas and etcetera. 

The ICT art was created digitally, using Hyperstudio. Based on New Zealand Kiwianna symbols. The goal was to create a Kiwianna representation of yourself. My art was based on one of my previous homes. It was the view of a lake, home to the street of my old house.

My second art piece originated from Vincent Goph’s famous piece, ‘Starry Night’. This was room 4’s task. We had to recreate ‘Starry Night’. However, the challenge was to use Vincent’s style of painting, which involved using small and light paint strokes. I found this INCREDIBLY hard as there was absolutely no paintbrush to fit the strokes of Vincent. However, I luckily managed to finish it, along with doing part of the side task.

Extension art THING

I chose to draw this as my Term 4 art since this is based off the area I once lived in. There's a beautiful lake next to the street of my old home.         :D

Plastic Pollution

            Plastic Pollution - ways to stop Plastic pollution

Plastic is a horrible miracle. We use it in various ways that both help us and hurt us. For example, Plastic bottles are great because they’re cheap and easy to use. However, it is often not recycled and ends up in our oceans. We use plastic because it is useful, resourceful and easy to make. Millions of plastic entities can drift into our oceans, get eaten by fish and then get eaten by us. It is harming our aquatic ecosystems and ourselves. Luckily, great people have found many solutions towards our plastic problems. Although they’ve made great and powerful solutions. It would still be helpful to do our part in the 5r’s. This includes “Reduce, Refuse, Reuse, Re-purpose and Recycle”.

Reducing plastic as in using less plastic brands. This means avoiding things like plastic bottles, cutlery, toys etc. Reducing plastic could also include choosing to swap out plastic brands for metallic or glass ones. Take bottles for example, using metallic bottles last much longer than single-use plastic bottles.

Refusing plastic would mean getting less plastic like takeaways and other fast food plastic types. Cooking would be included in refusing due to its lack of plastic and including more long lasting plastic. It would also be helpful to avoid using plastic types and instead use non- plastic brands.

Reusing is keeping your plastic items for more uses. An example would be to continuously use a plastic bag until it’s no longer effective. It would also mean using the same plastic bottle, always refilling it when you’ve finished. It would prevent it from turning into pollution and avoids being single use plastics.

Re-purpose. Re-purpose is keeping your plastic valuables, and keeping them for another usage. An example could be a yogurt container, maybe using it for a container of paint or water. Re-purposing is very useful due to avoiding ending up in the ocean and keeping it for more use.

Lastly, Recycle. Although “recycle” used to be the main subject, it is almost no longer useful since our recycled pollution used to be shifted to China, which is no longer accepting our rubbish. Now it’s just being chucked into Malaysia and other places in Asia. So, Recycling is almost as bad as putting it in general rubbish. So maybe try participating in doing the 4r’s instead.

Maths: Boss level

Mini Immersion assembly thingy

On the 12th of October, during the morning of school, every class gathered into the assembly hall. As we walked in, we noticed that our term theme was “Art Alive!” or “Toi Ora!”. Team one, also known as the year ones, showed a project of the team one teachers recreating famous art pieces. For example, “The Scream”, “Girl with a pearl”, etc. Another interesting project was team fours’, since they had shown their planning from behind the scenes.

I’m actually feeling quite excited about this term since I have a talent for drawing and animation.

Immersion assembly term three

Immersion assembly: Are main focus of the term was called "A world of difference", guess that led to Mr Burt, Mr Jacobson and Mr Somerville talking about their history. It was pretty interesting, we learnt that some of their generation were knights, or were even ready to go to war. Team 4's topic was on my
myths and legends. Because of that topic, they decided to tell us a tale of a woman, and an eel. That story was called "Sina and the eel".

I think this term will be somewhat interesting, because I am partially a fan of myths and legends.

How to spot click bait.

Scroll to the bottom to learn















































































































































Here is the site I got information

(Actual) How to spot clickbait

If you go on some site/app and you're suppose to click on something that would have information, you might get click baited. If you have been click baited, but don't want to, I, have some good tips for you that can help you spot click bait.

Some ways are to put some research in the subject. If there isn't much about it, it's most likely fake. Another one is if you feel somewhat emotional, the publisher might've done that to make you more interested in it. The publisher might also exaggerate the title, for example, it might mention someone going to space, but the content might just show it as in a video game. 

I hope you learnt something.              :)

A brief explanation of Protests

A Protest is normally a large group of people that disagree on an event, but feel that they aren’t heard. Due to this, the Protesters use ways to be heard and look for others who agree with them to join in the protest. One-hundred and fifty years ago, the first group of people had doubts about an event and protested about it.

There are various ways of protesting. New Zealanders have been protesting for over a century for causes they are passionate about! There are a lot of crazy events in history, some of them have been caused by Protests. The most common way of protesting now is “Marching”. Marching is where a large amount of people walk on the streets protesting to be heard. Some holding signs, others shouting for justice. This isn’t the only way, some types of protests, are strikes, where people don’t work to convince leaders to do something. Other ways are petitions, petitions are where people sign a form to protest an issue they want to change.

You’re probably thinking “do Protests work?”, well it kind of depends. If citizens work hard enough, and officials agree, Protests can be successful. However, if the Protesters don't work hard, or the officials disagree on their statement, the Protest may not work. 

A famous example of a Protest is one that was led by Kate Sherpard. Kate Shepard’s Protest was caused due to women not having enough rights. Her Protest was carried out by a type of Protest called “Petition”, that type works by people that agree, sign the paper. If officials hear this, the Protest could work out, after many attempts, Katy Sherpard finally succeeded. Not only this, but, this was the first time in history that women got rights.

Another great example is, The great strike, The great strike is where Wellington watersiders and Miners from Huntley figured they had horrible working conditions and weren’t getting paid enough in return, they decided to not work. They stayed in strike for about eight weeks to make the prime minister give them better conditions and money, but the prime minister sent special police to lightly beat up protesters. About eight leaders were arrested but some grew to be politicians and create better laws for work environments.

In conclusion, people Protest about things they think are wrong, or that they want to change. Protests can change for the better, at least if officials decide to see and agree.

A special event

In a particular assembly something special happened. Mr Burt, our principal, has been noticed by the Queen for his good deeds towards Pt England school. At the assembly where we celebrated it, we all sang a couple of waiatas and did the haka after. We also got to listen to some speeches coming from some manaiakalani leaders and Mr Burt's wife. It must have been a very unique experience for Mr Burt, good on him! I’m thankful for Mr Burt putting a lot of his time and money towards us having a good time, like the year six camp, or any other camp and activities. Thank you Mr Burt!
