Christmas and New years

On Christmas Eve my family and I stayed up until it was midnight to open our presents. When it turned midnight my papa came out of his room dressed like Santa Claus my little sister was so happy to see him. My papa sat down on a chair and started handing out our presents. The first present I got was a Minecraft Redstone book, the next thing I got were a pair of black vans ( shoes ), then I got some make up products,  shortcake cookies, a DVD player and lots more.  Everyone in my family got nice things like my nan got a green stone necklace and Gucci rush perfume. I really liked this Christmas because we all had fun.

Yesterday on new years eve we waited all night for the count when suddenly 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Happy new years my family shouted its was finally the start of 2015. We started celebrating by lighting off our fireworks and then we watched other fireworks and then went to bed. Then I had woken up only knowing that we are going to the kawa bay beach. We got our things ready and went on our ride it was a long ride but we eventually got there. We got dressed and went for a swim while my dad and papa tried fishing for some snapper my uncle was eating some oysters he let me have a try and I didn't like it.  After we finished swimming we had some lunch waited for a while and went back for a swim then we packed up and waited to know what my dad and papa caught and that was two snapper. When we got home my papa fried the two snapper and we had them for dinner that was delicious now what we are doing is having a rest from our beautiful day.

Reading Explorers of the sunrise

Through the last three weeks my reading group the Slayers have been reading a story in a school journal about Explorers of the sunrise. This article is about how our ancestors from New Zealand sailed to Rapanui (Easter Island) and sailed back to New Zealand using the swells of the sea in the day and the stars through the night also the book is about the details waka they used. The first island they had sailed to was Tubuai then the next island that they sailed to was Mangarewa then the sailed to Rapanui. From Rapanui our ancestors sailed to Moorea, then Raro Tonga after they sailed the Raro Tonga they sailed back to New Zealand but then the place they stopped was at Doubtless bay.

What we have been researching is what the vocabulary is for ancestors, archeology, voyage, navigator and horizon. Then we had to write about what the article was about after that we had to find a map online and use, a document called google draw and draw the journey they went on. After we had done all that work we had to draw the waka they went on for the journey and label the parts of the waka for example the one I have above. The thing we had to write about was what technology we use now since our ancestors have used the swells and the stars.

What is colour

What are primary colours?

Primary colours are colours that can’t be made by other colours those colours are red, blue and yellow. Primary colours are used you make other colours and those are secondary colours. The warm colours in Primary colors are yellow and red. The cool colours in primary colours are blue. So last week Class 5 did a colour wheel the first colours we painted were primary colours, then we mixed the primary colours to make secondary colours, we painted those on and then we mixed secondary colours and primary colours to make tertiary colours, then we paint that on to the colour wheel and left it to dry. After the paint dried we drew shapes to show what the primary colours are what the secondary colours are and tertiary colours. The shape we used for primary colours were triangles the shape we used for secondary colours were squares and the shape we used for tertiary colours were circles.

What are secondary colours?

Secondary colours are made by primary colours getting mixed together to make orange, green and violet. green is made up by blue and yellow, orange is made up by red and yellow and violet is made with the two colours blue and red. secondary and primary colours can be made into tertiary colours. The warm colours in the secondary colours are orange and the cool colours in secondary colours are violet and green.

What are tertiary colours?

Tertiary colours are made with the primary and secondary colours the names of these colours are  yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet, red-orange and yellow-orange these are the tertiary colours. The warm colours in the Tertiary colours are red-orange and  red-violet  and the cool colours are blue-violet, blue-green and yellow-green.

What are warm and cool colours?

The warm colours are red-orange, red-violet, yellow, orange and red. The cool colours are blue-green, blue-violet, yellow-green, blue, green and violet. Another task we did was a warm and cool colours task we had to do was a buildings one where we had to draw some buildings and then we drew the, background as a sunset we had to pick if we wanted cool or warm colours for the, sunset and the buildings what I did was cool colours for my sunset and warm colours for my building. The first thing we did was paint the sky cool or even warm colours. Then we did the buildings the colours we chose after we had finished we had to wait until it dries and then we had to get black paint and go over the lines we drew in the beginning.

The Sound Activity

On Tuesday I learnt about sound and making sound on an online science lab. What I did was try to match the pitch. I made the sound waves big and small. The small sound waves make a high pitch and the big sound waves make a lower pitch. Sometimes in the activity the pitch makes and high note or a low note. How I did the activity is I moved the arrow to a line and checked what sound it made by pressing the hand. When I thought that it was the right pitch I pressed the check button.
