Geometric Patterns

Geometric Patterns!

For the past few days our class have been working on geometric patterns, we used our ruler to find the middle of our circle and then we chose which kind on pattern. I chose 36 pointed and you needed to make a mark every 10 degrees, little did I know how many lines there were and I didn't finish it. Then we had to rule to every point, this is how the patterns were made, other people colored them but I didn't.

Enjoy!

My Inquiry - Voki -

Today we had to create a Voki to explain our main question here's mine!'

My Garden

My Garden

For the past week we have been planning and designing our own gardens (Sadly we can't build them) I have planted Chillies, Marigolds Brussel Sprouts and Blue Cornflowers. First we had to choose which plant we wanted to plant then we designed a draft in our bubble catcher (Visual Diary) then we were given the "All Clear" by Mrs Cameron to proceed to our good copy. In that we had to include what time of year they were planted and many details about the plant.

ENJOY!  

Food Inquiry

Food Inquiry

For our Tuning in Inquiry we have had to investigate a type of food, I did Japanese Food, some people did cheese and other did Ice Cream there were a lot of foods being investigated.

The class and Mrs Cameron checked and gave feedback to the presenters, the criteria was Maps, how and who made the product, Images, what countries produce the product and some others that I can't remember.

WARNING THIS MAY BE QUITE LONG

Tim's Starry Night

My Starry Night!

Our Class has been learning and studying visual art, we have been looking at Vincent Van Vogh's mixed media starry night and using it as a example and inspiration for our version on starry night, we painted our sky and outlined our landscape with chalk. After we painted using a double loading technique our landscape, we used black pastel to outline our landscape to make it stand out. This was quite a messy process but after the smudge and clean of pastel we got onto our houses most people used paper but Llewellyn and I used our pencil and pilot pen to make them stand out.

Oh, And find the five people!!

Quick Write Photo

Last Friday we started a quick write on a photo, this was a photo of a boy jumping of a jetty in Auckland.
This piece of writing had to include complex sentences and a variety of sentences

The Jump

As walk down the jetty I can hear the old wood creaking below my feet. I don’t look down. It’s choppy, I don’t care, it’s a storm it doesn’t matter I say to myself. To me this normal jumping off the jetty by the harbour, I do it with my friends, it helps me relax. I spend most of my time here but this time it doesn't feel like it use to. I still do it but everytime I jump the colder the water gets. One more time, but I can’t get out onto the jetty, I feel the water curl around me and tighten my chest. I start to panic.

This is a normal day at the jetty, for me this place is like my second home. Strangely this time it is just not the same because the gulls weren't on the wooden poles holding the wharf on the water and this small mackerels that used to call this place home are out of sight. A storm. It’s coming I can just make myself do one more just for luck.

Into the blue I go. It’s cold but it’s a nice cold, I feel the water curl around me like a frozen silk blanket. Then out of no where it wraps around me like a snake preparing to death roll. Pulls me under into the depths below me. I frantically scream. Try to kick my way back to the wharf. I go under.

Next thing I know, I’m in Hospital. I see family members crying. Patients trying to calm their friends and family. The doctors rush me around, I feel like I am on the brink of death,  would I ever make a recovery? How would my family cope?  Mum would be tearing her hair out. And dad would I ever see him again?

The End
