Artfact

A dumbbell is a weight lift what you lift up.
I have been learning to make a dumbbell.
Something that challenged me was to cut out the weight,s for the dumbbell
I am proud of my artefact because I paint,ed my dumbbell a good couler and it is long, big and straight.
The learning muscle I was stretching was perseverance because I keeped on trying to cut out the weights.

Art

In Totara Whanau the students had 3 art choices to pick.
I  was learning about perspective. When  it is far away it is skinny. When it is close its big.   
I picked the first art choice here's a peace (piece) of it. I chose this because its something that can challenge me.
I am proud of my art because I blended it really well.
I have been learning to colour inside the lines to show the shape.
Something that challenged me was to colour inside the lines because it is hard with pastels because they have a fat end.

Maths

Today in maths I used my noticing learning muscle to know how to do factors.
The learning muscle I used to get out of the learning pit was my presence muscle because I kept on trying for the division questions.
I have been learning to do factors and many other things in maths.
I am proud of my factors because all of the factors are right and split in half.
How to do factors:
Factors is a maths tool to help you how to do times tables. Pick any number then you write the times table that equals the number below.
Here's an example:

84
1  84
2  42 half of 42 is 21 then you double the 2 which is 4
4  21

This is a photo of my factors and shapes work.

Matariki

Totara Whanau have been learning to try new learning experiences about Matariki.

Matariki is about sharing and celebrating it in many different ways.

I really enjoyed learning the new learning tasks and finding out awesome ideas I didn't know about.

I'm proud of my work because I carve really well cause Todd said "great go on a angle on the wood."

Something that challenged me was to go on an angle to carve and to eat the fish pie yuck.

I stretched my perseverance muscle in carving because I was confused but not upset.

In carving Todd said to not carve towards you our you might stab yourself in the stomach. Also to not carve the opposite way to your partner our you might stab them to.

I really enjoy carving Totara on the big piece of log.

In Totara whanau we have been learning to do basketball skills with some famous basketball players. I am proud of myself because I think iv,e(I've) been listening to Luke and the ladies. We have been doing skills like around bodys (bodies) and around legs. When we always go on the court we have a warm up.

Luke says we have to play the fun games at the end of the session we play games like golden child or seaweed. We have a warm up first so we don't have to stretch or be stiff.


Mattie and Luke told us to use the alive spider not the dead spider to dribble the ball. Mrs H told us to use our bottom to defend the ball. I have this tip to defend: I put my hands out so they cant get past I also follow the ball so they cant pass it.
