Olympics art work

This term I made a olympics art work of me.

I started by making a tessellation using meashad up triangle with sides that were up to 3.8cm long.  Then I took a photo of myself and printed a photo of Dan carter.  Then i cut them out and glue them onto the tessellation.

Then i made a border for my art work i ruled the border up to 4cm. The best part was making my tessellation.

6 x long sticks

Challenge 1 was a bit easy because all we had to do was only make a structure with using only one block to hold the tower up.

Challenge #2 - Build the  tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size:

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

Challenge 3 was frustrating because you had to make a structure

Moment In Time Week 7

Today our teacher asked us to write a ‘Moment In Time’ piece using a picture of a boy in the water.  We planned as a class to make sure we had the 5 W’s and the 6 Senses.  

Before we began our writing in small groups we discussed the importance of using descriptive writing, using similes and metaphors where appropriate, using dialogue and have done our best to make sure our punctuation is correct.  Some of us have even used ‘Show Don’t Tell’ in our writing to provide our reader with more of an experience.

Our teacher gave us 10 minutes for each paragraph and then 10 minutes for editing at the end.  We had so much fun working together!

If you have a moment, we would love you to comment on our writing.

Boy Overboard!

As Jack was fishing he caught a fish but it was to powerful for him so the fish pulled him into the sea.  The person that was driving the boat didn’t see Jack so he took of.  SPLASH!  Jack could smell diesel coming from the boat getting further and further.  Jack was panicking because he could see sharks crowding him, he was screaming for help “HELP HELP!

Jack was becoming one with the water.  As he was drowning he saw all kind of different fish looking at him.  He was even more terrified when he saw a whole group of piranhas.  The sharks was coming closer and closer to Jack.  So Jack tried to to swim but he couldn’t swim because he doesn’t like the water, so he passed out. He was thinking that he was going to die.   

Out of nowhere a megalodon had rushed to Jack and taken a bite out of his arm.  “AHHHHHHHH”! Shouted Jack.  Jack could see the blood coming out from his arm.  “PLEASE LORD PLEASE HELP ME”! Jack screamed while drowning.  There was a light coming from the sky.  going towards the boy.

What we done well was working as a team and talking as a team

Darnell

What I think I did well was help Kaleb and Patrick make some sentences.

Kaleb:  

The thing that I did well was when I was talking to my buddy when we were writing.
