Decimals

In class we have been learning how to order decimals up to 3 decimal place and put them on a number line. Hannah, Giselle and I made a number line from 0-2 and we placed fractions, decimals, pictures and percentages onto the number line accurately. We also attended a workshop and revised our minds on how to place decimals in order on a number line. The most important thing that I took away from the workshop is that you have to put 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 etc on the number line before you start placing the numbers on to the number line. Overall I think we did really well.

Wearable art

This is our finished design. It is called Night delight. The creators of it were Sofia.L, Sofia.V, Taylor and Zoe. The black represents the night sky and the stars resemble the seven stars of Matariki. We also weaved a headpiece out of flax and made clay models of food to go in our basket. The basket that Zoe and her Nan made was weaved out flax. It took a lot of hard work and spare time. I think we  worked very well together because while one of us was painting the dress the others were working on something else like; weaving the headpiece, moulding clay etc. I hope you enjoy it.

Picasso Art


Picasso Art

Lately we have been creating some Picasso style art. If you didnt know, Pablo Picasso was a famous artist that was well known for his amazing, different style of art. He was born on the 25th of October 1881 in Spain and died on the 8th of April 1973 in France. To create our art we had to firstly draw the shape we wanted our head to be and we drew the outline of our hair. Next we drew our eyes, nose, mouth and any other accessories we wanted. Then we coloured them all in with bright or dark colours, leaving the background white. Lastly we coloured the background in with a contrasting colour that made our art stand out, we glued on our features and we were done.

Here is a picture of my art:
