My Olympic Artwork 2016

My Olympic Artwork 2016

This term we have been doing olympic art. This is my piece of olympic artwork that I did.  I did this because we were learning about the Rio Olympics and I also did this because we were also learning about tessellations and other art like metaphors and similes .

If you were looking close enough you would’ve seen a tessellation in the background of my artwork..  What else you will see is some similes and metaphors.  A simile is a sentence using like or as for example she was as flexible as a snake and a metaphor is a sentence without using like or as for example you were a shooting star. Both metaphors and similes are using a comparison in different ways, if you were looking close enough you would know which one is which.

One more thing that you can see is the 3 Olympic values and they go in the order like this: Excellence, Friendship and Respect and they are telling what you have to do at the olympics.  What else we learnt was that some facts about the Olympic Rings. We found out what their continents were and  this is how it goes, blue is for Europe, black is for Africa, red is for America, yellow is for Asia and finally green is for Oceania.  

The sport that I was doing was gymnastics because sometimes when I’m doing my work I sometimes wish I was a gymnast. I sometimes watch some people do some gymnastics and sometimes I like to practice my gymnastics.  My other sport that I like to do is swimming because then you get to go in the water and you won’t get hurt in races except for drowning.

In the background of my piece of art is my tessellation and the shape that I used to make my background was a triangle because when you rotate it the shape will make another shape what I really liked about my piece is that I put lots of detail in it and I think my piece is really great.

Dear Amanda

This is a thank you letter for all the things you have given me and to say thank you for what you’ve done.

These are the things that you have gave me.  You have given me a cosy jacket, a hand sanitizer, tissues,  nuts and muesli bars, plasters, shoes  and I really appreciate you helping me when I’m cold, hungry or dirty because you help us all and we really like it, If I feel cold you will give me comfy jacket so then I won’t feel cold anymore.

Thank you Kidscan I really appreciate you helping all of us and I really like the way that you have given us everything that we need and I hope the people who got it will be happy and proud of what you have done.  I really liked all the things that you gave to me and I really appreciate it.  I would like to say a big thank you for helping me and I hope you keep up the good work.

Yours sincerely

Hong Kong steam challenge

Our Materials:

6 x long sticks

1 x  wooden square

2 x pipe cleaners

2 x straws

1 x 1m ruler

11 x plastic cubes

1 x bunch of Popsicle sticks

4 x wooden small flat pieces

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base:

Challenge 1 was a bit easy because all we had to do was only make a structure with using only one block to hold the tower up.

Challenge #2 - Build the  tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size:

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

Challenge 3 was frustrating because you had to make a structure

Moment in time wk 7

Today our teacher asked us to write a ‘Moment In Time’ piece using a picture of a boy in the water.  We planned as a class to make sure we had the 5 W’s and the 6 Senses.  

Before we began our writing in small groups we discussed the importance of using descriptive writing, using similes and metaphors where appropriate, using dialogue and have done our best to make sure our punctuation is correct.  Some of us have even used ‘Show Don’t Tell’ in our writing to provide our reader with more of an experience.

Our teacher gave us 10 minutes for each paragraph and then 10 minutes for editing at the end.  We had so much fun working together!

If you have a moment, we would love you to comment on our writing.  

Boy Overboard!

In a bright sunny morning, Jack was surfing on the big sparkling waves. Suddenly a big wave came crashing towards him.  SPLASH went the crashing water over Jack as the salty water went up his nostrils, as he tried to catch his breath. “AHHHHH!!!” screamed the little boy as he started to sink deep down in the sea.  

As Jack was suffocating to get to the surface, water started rushing down his throat as he tried to swim towards his surfboard, as the water was as cold as ice. Suddenly he saw a gang of humongous sharks circling around him. The closer the sharks came to him, the more terrified he became. His heartbeat pounded as fast as lightning striking every second. He glanced at the creatures, as he grabbed his surfboard trying to surf away. “HELP! HELP!” Jack screamed as his teeth chattered, and his body was numb.

As the sharks came closer, one of them lunged towards him, biting Jack in the ribs. He could hear the crunchiness of the bones snapping, breaking into little pieces. The blood splatted into the creature’s face, as it poured down his hip, into the water.  The gang of sharks circled him like a dog chasing its tail, as Jack laid on his back looking up into the bright blue sky. “I don’t want to die this way…” Thought Jack to himself as he saw a group of paranis coming towards him.  He saw the creatures teaming up for their next chunk of meat.  His rib started stinging from the salty water, as he wasn’t ready for round 2…  

Written by Samia, Kisayah, Maria and Benjamin.

Kisayah:

I think that we all done well because we worked as a team by helping each other with our sentences.  What I think I done well was I helped my team with their punctuation.

Maria:

I think that we all did well because we all worked as a team, and helped each other with our punctuation, similes and many more. What I did well in my group is being open with my ideas and my knowledge to make our piece of writing more interesting.  

Benjamin:

What I did well was sharing ideas with my group and putting all the ideas and making it a great moment in time.  What I think I should work on is making the moment in time more interesting for the reader.  

Samia:

I think we all did well because we all shared our ideas and made a  really good moment in time.  Also I think we worked well as a team and we checked our punctuations and we made sure it made sense.  I also think we helped each other to make the moment in time a good writing so people can look at it and maybe they can comment.

The day Aladdin and Jasmine skipped school    

On Monday 2 friends were walking to school until they stopped then one of them said “I feel bored at school , every time I walk in my classroom I get sick” said Aladdin “ don’t be so serious” replied Jasmine. “ look there is a beach let's go there and have some fun” said Aladdin “I don’t think so we might get in trouble” replied Jasmine. “Jasmine can’t you do something for once” asked Aladdin “ yes, ok fine let's go” said Jasmine.

While they were walking they saw the sand and they knew that they were close to the beach when they saw the sand and the beach Jasmin said “the sand is a golden blanket”.  After they started to play, Aladdin played with the sand and made a sand castle Jasmine  was helping too but she was getting the water so then they can put it around the castle.  While they were still there Jasmine saw lots of people and lots of animals like cats, dogs.  They tasted the salty sea water and then when Jasmine was still playing she saw a car with there 2 teachers in them Jasmin slowly went to Aladdin.

“Aladdin our 2 teachers are here” said Jasmine “what how do they know we’re here” replied Aladdin “they don’t know we’re here they just came here.”   “Let's try to get away but first let's play for a little bit more then we will go” said Aladdin.  When they were still playing one of the teachers saw them and shouted “Jasmine, Aladdin come over here!!!!” they both went there, they were as slow as sloths “ come here quickly!!!”  they were really scared so they ran as fast as cheetahs.  After Aladdin told the teachers that it was Jasmine's fault Jasmine was as angry as a grumpy lion.

Jasmine was so angry that she bit Aladdin on the leg like a vampire biting your neck the 2 teachers were really scared they jumped in the car and drived away “Owwww!!!”” yelled Aladdin “ that's for blaming everything on me” “ I was only lying to them they won’t believe they’ll think I made this all happen” said Aladdin “ohh sorry” “it’s alright at least we had fun” said Aladdin “yeah” replied Jasmin.

This is my certificate from coding  in level 1.and I am happy and proud of myself  

 

Tessellation

Define Tessellation A pattern made of identical shapes: • the shapes must fit together without any gaps • the shapes should not overlap

Regular polygon	Irregular polygon
Regular polygon:                                        A polygon which has all its sides of equal length and all its angles of equal measures is called a regular polygon.      A regular polygon is a polygon that is equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length).	A polygon that doesn’t have all sides equal and all angles equal.  A polygon is "regular" only when all angles are equal and all sides are equal, otherwise it is irregular. Irregular polygon: A polygon which has all its sides of unequal length and all its angles of unequal measures is called an irregular polygon.
Salzman, L., (1990).  Cool Tessellations.  Creative activities that make math and science fun for kids!  P6-7)

                                                                 

Vocab

Tessellation is an arrangement of  some shapes  fitted together, especially the polygons in a repeated pattern without gaps or overlapping.  Vertice =when two lines meet. Angles = the amount turn between two straight lines that have an end point.

This is my picture that I have chosen from researching.  And that pattern is triangles and hexagons the will keep on repeating until it is done without any overlapping.
