Bye To The Dental Clinic

Farewell To The Dental Clinic.
Today at Matawai school we had to say goodbye to the Dental Clinic.
A man named Kerry came with his digger and pulled it away, It took down our compost bin, and two fences down. 

The digger snapped down some branches so it didn't break his hydraulics. It ripped out plants and it had to go over a 2 meter gap, now that was cool to watch.

Right now the Dental Clinic is were it belongs.

Taniwha slow writing

Today I was learning slow writing where we had to write six sentences about a Taniwha.

I enjoyed thinking of something sharp when I wrote my simile in the first sentence.
I found it challenging to think of an animal to compare the taniwha to.
My digital learning object shows I am a stepping up blogger.
Next time I would change my setting so It's not like the bush.


Razor teeth, as sharp as a butcher knife.

Carefully pouncing like a leopard, to get his kill.

Quickly shaking blood of his BACK!!!

“Hey fish”, come to Papa.”

Claws ripping into the big fat barracuda as he guts it.

Korus plotted around him, so he can be camouflaged.

Matariki Brush Nija

Today I was learning To create a Matariki brush ninja.
I enjoyed drawing the twigs on the out side of the frame.
I found it challenging to make the stars.
My digital learning object shows that I am not that good at keeping my hand steddy.
When you started brush ninja did you forget to put your background first?

lunapic

Today we learnt how to use lunapic.
It was hard to decided what animation to use, there were hundreds of diffrent types.
It was challenging to get the pic into my drive. I really enjoyed matching mine with my friends.

Dream Animal



Dream Animal
My dream animal will have an astronaut helmet, and underneath that there will be….. a gorilla head, for the legs there will be set of 2 legs off a greyhound/whippet.
Horse hind legs so if something tries to kill me I can defend myself.

It will have some gorilla arms so that if there was something I had to pick up or hang on it would be easy. Great white shark teeth. Gills so that it can breathe underwater, fins so that it can swim underwater.
And obviously a unicorn horn!!!! Hopefully I don’t get hurt!!!

Respect Report

Room 4 had a challenge, about respect.
We had the choice of making a online poster or a poster by hand so if someone came, to our school they would know what respect means.
We could do it as a poster or on a piece of paper. We had to find a few things that respect means to them.There were was a lot of sayings like e.g. My Mum and Dad went through school with out google.


It was really fun because of me went through a lot of web sites on Google and found a lot of new sayings.
If you were someone that was hurt on the sports field I would take them and get them a ice pack and get help.

Respect means at home…

Doing chores for your parents, packing up your belongings so you do. Respecting animals by feeding them, and playing with them.
