Floods

 Talofa welcome back to my blog, today we are going to be talking about the Canterbury floods. 

The most flooded place was Ashburton. Peoples houses, cars and their garages are flooded. Most families and peoples had to be evacuated because the flood was getting worse and can endanger peoples life. Most of the floods are mostly in Ashburton. up to 4000 homes are flooded in Ashburton . Homes would be evacuated during daylight if required, rather than overnight, Kris Faafoi said . Farm worker Steve Naylor was keeping a close eye on the Hinds River that borders the farm he works on. Naylor said there was no water in the overflow on Winslow Rd at 6am this morning but it was significantly rising . All the live stock on the farm were safe but he was worried because the hinds river would breach its bank later on Sunday as the water moved down streamed .

Today I am going to be telling you about last night Musical Theater . It was really fun i really enjoyed watching the show . My favourite show was by Jemimah she sang a song from glee and the song was Bust your windows out your car . I also liked the show Johanna it was really cool how she moved from the stage to the top of the auditorium and went outside . We had a 10 minute break before the other half was going to perform . We had Hot Chocolate, tea, and coffee . I had a really good time with my friends , We tried to play tag on the playground but it was to dark and scary.

Stop Motion in Art

 Talofa welcome back to my blog, today i am going to be telling you about our clay monster we made.

We have been making stop motions with some of our clay monsters. We made our Monster clay using the pinching technique. We also have been working on stop motion. We had to make a stop motion with clay and make  it about anything. I named my clay monster, Big Timmy alien.   And I broke my comb. It looks really manky. We also made a person and a Apple tree . Our story line was about a man picking apples from the tree . I was the one who made the background and Finau and Neelah made the person and the Apple tree . 

Here is our Stop motion 

That's all for today , see you next time . 

Wonder

This week we watched a movie about Bullying and how it hurt a boy called Auggie. He had a big sister called Olivia, but people call her via for short .He was picked on because he had a face deformity 

When he was wearing a mask on Halloween he heard his friend say “ If I looked like Auggie I would kill my self “ .This made Auggie feel destroyed and sad. Here’s a quote from Auggie: “ But I'm kind of used to how I look “.The theme of the story is about, Kindness, Bullying, Courage, Diversity, Family, Friendship, Identity, Perception, Isolation, Acceptance.

Hope you like my images too.

Bell Week

 Talofa welcome to my blog, today i am going to be telling you about our school's bell. 

The song we are using is by six60 and the name of the song is called Thats all she wrote. The band has five members in the group, There names are, Eli, Chris, Ji, Marlon, Matui. The band was formed in 2008 and they all lived and studied in Dunedin. Eli's role is the drums, Chris's role is base, Ji's role is lead guitar, Marlon's role is synths and samples, lastely Matui's role is vocals and guitar. The song is about a girl breaking up with Matui. 

I think its a nice song for the school bell.I think everyone knows the lyrics because we listen and sing it almost everyday.   

                                                                                                                                                                          

That's all she wrote

Kete Whakanuia nga Ahuera

 Talofa welcome back to my blog, Today i am going to be telling you about the Kete Whakanuia nga Ahuera.

Yesterday we had a kete and it was about researching anything to do with a culture close to us. Our culture kete was about it was about our own culture and our own identity.  The culture i did was samoan and my question was, what do the actions mean in the samoan taualuga? I also did a tongan dance so i had  to add some Tongan facts. I was the one doing the presentation and making it look nice. I also did a tongan dance with Finau and Neelah. My thoughts and feelings about the day was really cool and it was really interesting and i learnt a few new things about other cultures. 

Here is a photo of the poster we did:
