Orienteering

We have been learning about co-ordinates, reading maps, compass bearings, directions and using an atlas.

On Tuesday afternoon we had the opportunity to partake in orienteering with the Hawkes Bay Orienteering club.  They set up two courses around the school.  

The first course was fun but hard at the same time as it was my first time orienteering. I think I enjoyed it!

The second course was more challenging and had more to complete, it was definitely a lot more fun because I knew most of the locations from the last course!

The dragon slayer

The dragon slayer

In a time when dragons threatened mankind, there was only one man who fought against them all.  His name is Tarragon. He and his brave battle horse Black Bull, roamed the desert in search of these terrifying monsters. But things don't always turn out as they should…

Being a dragon slayer wasn’t always easy, that was his job of course. Fighting them day in day out, a bit tiring really. How does he do it! maybe it was time for a change. Could he be someone else than just brave, fearless, heroic, muscular, I think i've said enough.. But anyways I’ll get back on track, maybe there was more to him. Who knows?

I mean, probably not. Well, he looks terrifying and heroic at the same time. Let me describe his looks to you, see what you think.

Firstly Tarragon has restless, beady eyes. He also has pretty pointy eyebrows which makes it hard to tell if he is mad or not.

Lastly, the biggest feature I could possibly describe about his facials would be his huge pointy chin. Just wow. Now, His body is extremely muscular with a few bruises and scratches that look like scars but that's about it.

His personalities? Hmm, how do I put this.. I think he has two sides of personalities, If that made any sense at all. Ok well I’ll try to put it in better english. Tarragons first side is what I like to call Fearless, Heroic, Scary, Brave, Adventurous,

But I still think he could be... Kind, Compassionate and so much more!

I don't know for sure though, we need more information for that to be solved!

ANZAC Art

This is my ANZAC logo art that I created during reading time. It represents all the soldiers who went and fought in war and possibly passed. Lest we forget

Jamie Mcdell

This is my presentation about Jamie McDell. I had to research her during reading time and find out as much about her as possible so I could put it into this slide.

Instafood

 The delightful sushi and  starbucks frappe.

I gaze out into the store. Right next to the machine where “magic happens”, As my friend lara likes to say. We both love starbucks. I clap my hands silently and clench my teeth making a weird face. Of course A heap of people stare at me but I don't care. All I want is the drink.

At last. the drink was ready and lara has full hands carrying our drinks and a surprise food I didn't know about. We sit down on a bench and she reveals the food. “SUSHI!!”. Lara takes a close look at the food. DE-lish! We think to ourselves. The food looked so satisfying and we were desperately holding on to take a bite and have a sip of our starbucks.

Before we get right into it we are delighted by the wonderful smell of the sushi. Not too fishy and freshly cooked sushi rise. Mmmmmm…

Now. The greatest part of getting the whole mean is to eat it. I bite into the juicy sushi and sip  my delish frappe.

within a few seconds the meal is gone. Yummmy!

ANZAC Silhouette art!

    This is my anzac silhouette art. I did it black on white and white

    on black and I like how it turned out!!

    How we made it :

 -  Found an image online and printed it out

  -   Cut the silhouette and glued it onto black paper   

       - Cut it out carefully again and glue white paper behind it          

                                  - Use the cut out silhouette and put it onto white paper
