sunset structure | silhouette

Today in class I have done a silhouette of the new York city. In class we spent this whole time trying to finish this  silhouette . For this we needed paper to do it.

To do this We looked at photos of a sunset. We described what the colors were and what shapes we could shape the colors like. We we had to partner up with a person or be in groups. After doing this we and tried picking a city. Mr Wong done an example of what we had to do on our chrome books. A . lot of people done Auckland city but I wanted to be more exciting. So I went with New York City. Do this we could have poly-lined it or shaped  it with shapes. First I done poly-lined it but it started to get hard so I just shaped it with shapes. It didn't really look well the first time. When I thought that I have finished i went back and fixed it up. We had to make it look like it was a 4 paper. We put this silawet onto a folder so that Mr Wong could print it off easier. after Lunch time we started to work on the back round. As you can see on the image there was a black paper. We had to search online to see an example and color Ideas of what you want it to look like. What I was thinking of was a green sunset and some , Red, pink and dark blue colors of the clouds. There was hot colors, warm colors and cold colors. this made a really good mix.

I enjoyed doing this art because I got to try something new and because I got to use paper and decorate What I want. I also enjoyed visualizing what this would look like.

Swimming lesson | Kiwi sport

L.I is to be safe in water.
This morning in kiwi sport we have been learning about swimming in water safely. We went to the YMCA pools by bus. when we arrived to the pool we went and dropped our swimming gear in the corner of the chair. Then we walked safely to the pools where we went sat down. James, Cameron and Kelly taught us how to save someone.

To save someone you don't go and into the water and save them first get a noodle or a strong object that can pull a person out of the water. first lay on your stomach to pull them out if they are in danger.

It can also happen when a person thinks that they can't reach the floor do the same and pull them out. If you are drown put your hand straight up and call out for help. After we finished that we went onto the deeper side to experience what it feels like. It was really deep.

first we had to sit down on the side of the pool. Then we had to pin dive in the pool. To pin dive we had to put one leg into the water and step in and then bend your legs when you get into the pool. Soon when we finished They taught us how to survive and stay on top. So first we had to put our legs wide apart and make them as a circle round and and round and start put your hand up straight into the air and scream for help.

I enjoyed this weeks swimming because I know how to survive when I am in danger in the pools.

Today I went to kiwi can. The new topic for kiwi can is problem solving. When we went into kiwi can we were asked to sit into a circle. then we were split into to four groups and seven people in it but my group just had six people in it because there was not enough people. There was for people from group A because some of them missed the last kiwi can. The energiser for this week was human. this game is when we put each of our hands with different people and try to un knot it. This activity took a lot of teamwork and cooperation to untangle the knot. We did not finish this because some people let go of their hands. The problem in this activity was that we let go of are hands. The resolution was that we had to start again but there was a small amount of time. After this we got into a whole circle. The game was matt dodge. It was like dodgeball but only on the the floor. It was a lot of work. After this We done our GKQ. The questions were hard. The question was what is a vehicle with no wheels. The answer was a helicopter. As soon as it was over I behavior was really bad. Mr Matt and Mrs Lily were really disappointed because no one was listening carefully and instead talking. Later then we apologies to Mr Matt and Mrs Lily. I hope next week we will be more mature and listen.

Today I have made a slide showing what a pier foundation is. A pier foundation is something that can hold up a house from a higher distance.  It can also hold up the entrance of the roof in the front and it can hold up a platform that you are standing on. Foundation means that it is supporting the grounds of a typical structure. A pier can be see at a house or on a plate form.

We got put into groups with people from different math groups. On the piece of paper there were different types of angles like a cute. There was also letters on the top of each angle. This was really hard to do because we had to make sure that it was the right answer.
How to measure an angle: to measure the angle you have to put the protractor on the piece of paper on the line that you doing. then make it look in the middle. On the protractor there are numbers on. You have to use the numbers on the outside that show the tens. you can also see that there are little lines. on the sheet you just put the protractor and just measure it and that is your answer.

When we arrived we hoped of and got into a single file. We walked quickly so we could take of our school uniform and get into our swimming togs. When we finished doing that we walked and sat on the edge of the pool. When we got into to the pool our teaching instructors were talking to us about swimming in the ocean. When you swim in the ocean if we drown we do not move our hand because if we wave our hand that means that we are saying hi to them. They told us that if the life guards yell at us we do not have to be mad at them because they might be the people to save a life in danger . After that we had to go with our teaching instructor and do the role. When we finished the role we got into the pools. When we got into the pool we had to stand on the black platform. We were continuing on with sculling. How to scull is when you but your fingers together and put your palms in and palms out. our head had to be facing up. We also had to paddle so the we could go to the other platform. Fau and I were to fast so we done it on our backs. The doing it on our back was harder. When we were doing it on our back we had to face up, put our legs together. Then we started to work on some hand movement on our back. After that the year sixes came. Cameron said we could do freestyle. We wanted to race each other. Obviously the girls won.

When you get hypothermia you start to lose heat. It can't just happen when you are in the pools it can also happen in wet places like when it is raining and you are outside for a long time. Then after that We got into the pool and started to learn new tricks. One was a survival tip. it was when you you had to palm in and palm out. We could use this when you are in a deep place or in the middle of nowhere. We also learned how streamline on our back. It was hard. I enjoyed this weeks lesson because I now know how to survive when I am in deep water.

The similarities between fairytales and myths are they both involve magic because there are mythical creatures and fairies have magic.
