Snakes And Ladders

WALT combine prior and new knowledge to come up with new ideas

This week we were reading a story called "The Game" and it was about kids fighting aliens in space for real but they were doing it in an arcade! Our follow up for this week was to make a Snakes and Ladders game about the battle between the kids an the aliens. We also had to make instructions for the game.

This was actually really hard for me because I couldn't come up with anything to do with the rules and I still don't think that it's good but here is my Snakes and Ladders board game!

I'm sorry that it's not really easy to see but the colour improves it!

RULES!!

You will need the following to play this game: 1 dice, 2 jellybeans that will represent the alien and human!

1) When the second person goes if they land on the same square as the other person that means that the other person gets to move up the ladder and the second person needs to go down the snake or if there is no snake stay in the same place and if there is no ladder near then the other person can move 3 squares forward!

2) When someone is close to the end then you need to have a game of paper, scissors, rock and the one that wins, say the person close to the 100, they are the winners but if they don't win they have to move back 10 squares while the other person gets to move up 10 squares and that's the only time they can do paper, scissors, rock!

(I'm sorry if my rules are really confusing because I didn't really know what rules I should put and  I just came up with this while writing it) :)

Come And Join The Summer Learning Journey (Teaser Week)

For our teaser week this week we had to make a poster promoting The Summer Learning Journey and we had to put facts about it as well! 

I decided to make my poster on Canva because it is something that is really easy and fun to use for me and it was fun making this poster as well!

Here it is!

In The Picture: Gus Sinaumea Hunter, Illustrator

WALT combine prior and new knowledge to come up with new ideas

This week my reading group was reading "In The Picture: Gus Sinaumea Hunter, Illustrator"

This book was about his life and how he came to be an illustrator and in the last page he has some tips for drawing, so in our Synthesis work we had to illustrate a picture and use some of his tips!

I illustrated a picture from my Hansel and Gretel story where the Step mom (Delilah) comes and saves the kids from the Witch.

Tips I used: Visualize a picture in your head before you start drawing. Draw what you see, not what you think you see and When adding colour, work your way from the background to the foreground of a picture.

At the beginning I thought we just had to draw a picture so I drew a cupcake but then my teacher told me what it meant and I drew this!

I'm sorry that the picture isn't really clear but this is the best I could make it 

MARKET DAY!

This coming Friday our school will be holding a Market Day which will be starting at 2 pm and ending at 4 pm. Every class will be selling their own things and the profit that we make from it will be going to our end of class prize! 

In class we have been talking about profits and how much we will have to spend on the things that we are going to sell! We have decided that we will be selling Spiders which is a fizzy drink with ice cream on top, waffles, which have 2 different prices because there will be waffles with just sauce and waffles with sauce ice cream and sprinkles! We are also doing Pie face as well and  Briquettes that we have made ourselves. The last thing that we are doing is Wet Sponges, which we are going to be throwing wet sponges at the Kiwi Can Leaders which will be exciting! The last thing that we will be doing is guessing how much lollies there are in the lolly jar.

After we had decided what we were going to make we were put in groups to make posters of the item that we will be selling and in my group we had to make posters on Spiders! Everyone in my group had to make separate posters on this item. If you want to check out the other posters for the different items you can go to our class blog to go on their separate blogs!

On this day as well our class is holding a Mufti Day and you have to bring a gold coin donation as well. The reason we are doing this is to raise money for our Kapa Haka uniforms!

Here's my poster!

See You Soon!

Resolution For Christmas

WALT recall how Mary hear the Word of God and acted on it

This week in RE since it is close to Christmas we had to make a Resolution for Christmas to do and it could just be our own writing about what we wanted to achieve or it could be from a bible verse. I chose to do a Bible verse because I found this one and it seemed like a really good idea as well!

Acrostic Poems

This year we have been learning about different types of writing and how they are used and when to use them as well so today we had the chance to pick one of them to use to write about something. I chose to do Acrostic Poems because they are interesting and also really fun to do as well. My Acrostic Poems are about Summer and Christmas!

I hope you like them!
