(Week 3) LO: To paint a whakaahua on a kowhatu with attention to detail and care.


week we pained on our 4 rocks, we drew our design on first and then we started to paint. The colours we used were red, black, green and white. We also used different size paint brush to paint on our rocks.  When we were painting our rocks we had to make sure we were focused, had a steady hand, Breathing, attention, and making sure we didn't have a lot of paint on the paintbrush.

The first time I painted it was hard cause I was not used to painting with a small paintbrush,  but the longer I used it the better I got.  The second time I used it was much easier cause I got used to it.

LO: To draw a whakaahua for Kowhatu Toi

This week we aimed to get most of our drawing patterns done in our Kowhatu Toi workbook. We also aimed to get 1 coat of primer paint over our three rocks.

On Monday we learned about what symbols mean and represent. The first pattern we did was the koru, what we had to do is sketch four pictures of the koru. On Wednesday we did other patterns and we talked about what they represented. We also painted one side of our rock with a coat of white paint. On Thursday we painted the other side of the rock and we also did some more of our Kowhatu Toi workbook.

Please leave me a positive,thoughtful,helpful comment to help me move forward with my learning.   

Quail Island

On Monday the 7th of August, the year 7&8 of Hornby High School got given the opportunity to go and visit Orana wildlife park. Orana wildlife park is a zoo home to over 400 animals in Christchurch New Zealand. We started our day off with our instructor Elizabeth, talking to us about all the different animals they had at the park. Elizabeth first took us to see the Rhinoceros, there were 5 rhinos that I saw, they were big and strong. Elizabeth showed us a rhino's horn, she even let us touch it, it felt smooth but rough at the same time. Next Elizabeth took my group and me to see the fast cheaters. While we were walking to the cheaters, we came across the rainbow trout, All though we couldn’t see anything it was cool the park had them. We finally, got to see the cheaters they were cute but scary at the same time. After looking at the cheaters for awhile, we left and went to see New Zealand’s only gorillas. We walked into the gorillas home, there were three huge big gorillas, Fataki, Fuzu, and their half brother, Mahali. Our instructor Elizabeth brought us into the gorillas home and got us to nail down on our knees, we did this so that the gorillas didn’t feel threatened by us. While we were looking around one of the gorillas came up to the window and started looking at us, we all laughed happily, but we were also scared at the same time. We shouted because out of nowhere the older brother Fataki started to chase his brothers, It was funny but really terrifying. I think that the gorillas are just simply magnificent. After all the excitement my group went to feed the giraffes. We held a branch of leaves in our hands and then the giraffe came up at pulled it off with their tongue. Giraffes are so strong and tall and I think they are just amazing animals. It was about 12:30 which is lunch time, this is when everyone sat down and ate. At 1:00 my group and I walk down to see the lions, everyone was so shocked to see so many lions. There were about 8 lions we saw, they looked so cute because they were sleeping. A fact about lions is that the female lions are the primary hunters of the group. After seeing the lions we went to touch a stuff Kiwis feathers the feathers felt like human hair almost. Next, we went to the kiwi house, to see New Zealand’s national icon, the kiwi. It was pitch black in the kiwi house it was nearly impossible to see them, but after looking and looking we finally saw the two Kiwis. We didn't quite know what they were doing as they were in a corner close together. Did you know? The kiwi used their nostrils at the end of their beak to eat. The kiwi is also a flightless bird. We came out of the kiwi house and strolled down to see the tiger. It wasn't that exciting to see the tiger as it was sleeping, but it was awesome to see one in real life. A few minutes later we went to see the smart and intelligent keas, It was a bit scary in the Kea cage tho because there were mouses runny around. Elizabeth told us that the keas even found out how to escape the cage, the story was funny but very unique. The last animal we saw we the ugly but cute Tasmanian devils, to me they look like dogs but with really big sharp teeth. Out of all the animals we saw, I think that the Tasmanian devil was my favourite. It finally came to the end of the day, it felt so long. I learnt a lot of things about animals but I also saw a lot of animals I have not seen before. Overall I had an amazing animal adventurous day.
