Cross Country Zones

Kia ora.  Last week on Thursday once the bell rang all of the people that made first, second and third for the cross country had to go to the library. Once everyone that was going was in the library Miss Scott put everyone in groups so we could go in an adult’s car.   

When we arrived at Halswell Quarry we all sat on this enormous tarpoline and had a little thing to eat from our lunch box.

While I was waiting for my race me, April and Alexis were playing 'would you rather.' Then it was time for our race.    

When we were lining up to start running I started to get butterflies in my stomach.  Then the lady blew the horn and I started to run.  Near the end when I was just about to finish most of the people from our school started to cheer me on.    

 

I got 28 place but I don’t think that I want to do it again.

Matariki Art

Kia ora. In class we made Matariki art. Matariki is the start of the Maori New Year. You can do lots of weaving, have a hangi, family gatherings and you can learn about the seven stars.

We first got told what we had to do which was get a big sheet of paper that had lots of designs on it. Then we got a piece of paper. Next we had to draw a star, we were only allowed to use pencils for the star design and the background was to be really colorful. 

Once we got all the things we needed we were allowed to start putting in this art called zentangle.  

 Zentangle is a lot of designs in one small place.

Once I had completed my design I was allowed to do my background. On the background we were allowed to do four different colors. There was green, brown, red and yellow. I used all of the colors.

When the dye dried we had to cut it out and then we glued it on.

Here is my star that I made.
