My tie dyed t-shirt!

Im very proud of my t-shirt and I'm glad I chose my pattern and colour! 

My 2nd attempt

This my onion dye item this is one of my favourites! It's got  this affect that I really like it gets darker as it goes along and it's got these pattern lines across it. I'd really like to do this again!

My First attempt

I'm very proud of my first attempt. My favourite section of my artwork is the warm colours, the yellow and the red, it made a sort of browny colour, which looks quite cool.  I also like the red and yellow and how it made orange! I don't just like the warm colours, the blue and the green looks amazing!

I'm very proud of my work and I'd love to try this affect again!

My Homework Poster

On Monday Mrs Piters gave us a task to create a poster of something that intrests you,
So I have created a poster on my blog, look down below, and I have also created a handwriten one this is my digital one the thing that intrests me is Cheerleading.

CHEERLEADING

Cheerleading is one of the worlds most dangerous sports in the world,because you are  doing dangerous stunts aswell as throwing people across the room!

The athlete involved in cheerleading is called a cheerleader. Cheerleading originated in the United States, and remains predominantly American, with an estimated 1.5 million participants in all-star cheerleading. The presentation of cheerleading as a sport to a global audience was led by the 1997 start of broadcasts of cheerleading competition byESPN International and the worldwide release of the 2000 film Bring It On. Due in part to this recent exposure, there are now an estimated 100,000 participants scattered around the rest of the world in countries including Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

School-sponsored

Most American middle schools, high schools, and colleges have organized cheerleading squads made up solely of students. Several colleges that compete at cheerleading competitions offer cheerleading scholarships. School-sponsored cheerleading promotes school spirit and motivate the players and fans as well as enjoyment for the participants. A cheerleading team may compete outside of sporting events (local, regional, and national competitions), and cheer for sporting events and encourage audience participation. Cheerleading is quickly becoming year-round, starting with tryouts during the spring of the preceding school year, organized camp as a team, practices, attendance at various events and ending with National competition season, typically from winter through spring.

School cheerleaders also compete with recreational-style routines at many competitions year-round. They practice hardly for them and come up with a no greater than 2 minute 30 second routine to show off at the competitions. Like other school-level athletes they compete to win their league title and move on to bigger competitions eventually reaching nationals the ultimate title for a school squad. The advantages to a school squad versus an all-star squad is cheering at various games. For some squads the level of competition on the weekends can equal that of an all-star squad.

The tryout process sometimes takes place over many days. The cheerleading coach usually will arrange for a cheerleading clinic, during which basic materials are taught or reviewed before the final day of tryouts. The clinic gives returning cheerleaders and new cheerleaders an equal chance of becoming familiar with the material. Skills that coaches look for include jumps, tumbling, motions, and dance ability. Tryouts often take place during the spring, so that the coach has the team chosen in time to attend summer camp as a team.

Middle school

Middle school cheerleading evolved shortly after high school squads started. In middle school, the squads serve mostly the same functions as high school squads and usually follow the same rules and regulations. Depending on how advanced the squad is, they usually do similar stunts to high school cheer squads.^[17] The cheerleaders cheer for basketball teams, football teams, and other sports teams in their school. They also perform at pep rallies and compete against other schools from local competitions all the way to nationals.^[18] Cheerleading in middle school sometimes can be a two-season activity: fall and winter. However, many middle school cheer squads will go all year round like high school squads. Middle school cheerleaders use the same cheerleading movements as their older counterparts, yet they perform less extreme stunts, ranging from simple elevators, knee stands, extensions to harder stunts such as the heel stretch and scorpion.

Bring and buy

Bring and buy

On Wednesday we had a bring and buy. We sold items up to 1.00 we also sold baking. Altogether we raised $ 286 dollars!

Statistics

This is my statistics poster!

Tessellations

Basically, a tessellation is a way to tile a floor (that goes on forever) with shapes so that there is no overlapping and no gaps. Remember the last puzzle you put together? Well, that was a tessellation! The shapes were just really weird.


A Tessellation (or Tiling) is when you cover a surface with a pattern of flat shapes so that there are no overlaps or gaps.

Reading

I think my reading is going well, I found the story, where no boat could live very interesting. Their history is so different to ours! They always  use boats, we use cars,our clothes are a lot and when I say a lot I mean a lot different! I'd really like to read another story like this again.

My comment for Normandale School's production

I really enjoyed the production because I was picked to play the bus driver Sue.

Sue was the main character, Sue was on stage basically the whole time, so I had to keep smiling!
But don't worry I couldn't help smiling!

I had to learn a lot of lines [ 45]
And I only got the script about a week before the production!
But I managed to learn them all after saying them over and over!
But it was worth it!

Normandale School's Production!

I really enjoyed the production because I was picked to play The character Sue.
Sue has the main part, and she was on the stage basically the whole time so I had to keep smiling!
But don't worry I couldn't help but smile!

My favourite performance was the Bob the builder. [so cute!]
My favourite moment on the stage was when I ad libbed 'where are my friends?'

It was really hard for me to remember all the lines!
But don't worry I remembered all of my lines just in time!

Just before the show I was jumping up and down, but not because I was excited I was really nervous you can ask people that were backstage I was almost jumping through the floor boards, and panic was rising up in my stomach, like a ballon losing its air!

It was quite difficult to get in and out of my costume. Luckily I had some awesome help from Mrs Peglar  [the pianist].  She was starting lots of conversations before the show started to keep my mind off me thinking I would forget my lines and muck up!

Sharon [Terran's mum] was also a lot of help telling me I would do fine!

Altogether Normandale School's Tiki Tour production turned out SUCCESS!

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to the staff, and other parents giving up their time to come and help with the props we wouldn't have done it without you!

And Mrs Piters for writing the script and staying up after hours to write it so THANK YOU!

Tane Mahuta

Tane Mahuta is a well known tree in New Zealand. He lives on the out skirts of the north of Auckland.


Tane Mahuta is 51.2 meters tall and 13.77 meters round.


Tane has a disease in his roots, so if he doesn't have enough water he could die!



Tane Mahuta may be a big and strong tree and will never have to be protected-well thats the thing, Tane was very low on water because of the recent water drought. So lots caring people of New Zealand pumped 10 000 liters of water from a river, over the one and only Tane Mahuta.




For 2 500 years, Tane Mahuta has stood tall and and proud, lord of the forest. Even the recent drought has not defeated him, thanks to the help of the caring people. Hopefully, Tane Mahuta will continue to live for many years to come.

My Fable

Puppy and the Swan

Puppy and Swan were very good friends.

One morning as the Sun was rising, Swan glided  into school.

‘Lion!’ she yelled. Lion ran up to Swan.

‘Hi Swan, I heard that you’re handing out your party invitations!’

‘Well you heard correct!’ said Swan. “And speaking of invitations, here you go!’

And she handed Lion an invitation.

“Oh thank you!’

And she ran away to put it in her bag.

Swan also gave one to Seal, Cheater,Dolphin, and Pussycat.

‘Thank you!’ they chorused.

Finally the bell went. When they were all sitting down in their seats, Puppy saw that Lion had an invitation for Swan’s Party.

Puppy waited expectantly.

Finally Swan turned to Puppy.

“Puppy,I’m very sorry but Mum said I was only allowed to invite 5 people, I’m very sorry and I do hope you understand.”

Puppy’s face drooped.

“Yeah,”muttered Puppy “I understand.”

“Great!” exclaimed Swan “well maybe not for you but uh, maybe next year?”

“Maybe, but uh I couldn’t go anyway because I have soccer practice.”explained Puppy.

“Oh,” replied Swan.

Puppy managed to hold back the tears all day.

But when Puppy got home he wept.

Morral: Don’t pretend you can’t do something when you really can!

Today cayla and I did a project on the L and P bottle

The MyPlate Portion Plate

The MyPlate Portion Plate illustrates the five food groups using a familiar mealtime visual - a place setting.

Three Key Ideas include:

Balancing Calories


·      Enjoy your food, but eat less.

·      Avoid oversized portions. 


Foods to Increase


·      Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.

·      Make at least half your grains whole grains.

·      Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.

Foods to Reduce

·      Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and 
frozen meals—and choose foods with lower 
numbers.

·      Drink water instead of sugary drinks.

Student Reflection

I think my portion plate is appropriate because

i have  a variety of colors  and different kinds of vitamins and minerals!

Other things I could consider are maybe  search up some facts about the foods!
