Emily Carr Art

 

                                    I have been learning about Emily Carr. She is a famous artist. She is a Canadian artist. She loves to

paint trees, she loves the wild and she loves animals. She always blends colors in and mixes them.

This is important because we are learning about her this term for art. Have you ever painted trees or learned about

Emily Carr?🖌

Kaniere history

 We have been learning about Kaniere and Hokitika history. We went on West Coast Rcollect, which is a web site with lots of old photoo's on it, to find some pictures. We had some free time on it for a couple minutes so we could know what to do. After that we had to do it i went on Canva, which is a collage maker and I just put photos on there. I just did Kaniere. Have you done history of your area before? You can see the photo It was really fun.

War letter

This year we have been learning about the war. We have been making war letters. We had to do it on our chrome books first then write it on the paper. We had to get paper then we had to get some tea bags and put some tea over it to make it look old. After that we had to leave it in the sun to dry. We have to poppys on our front lawn for anzac day.

The best athletics!

 This year I am going to district athletics. I made it in for discus, high jump, shot put and 1000 meters. It will be on the 7th of April at the high school. I was really good with my sprints. I was right behind Elizabeth and Olivia. We hadn’t been practising it at school either. Have you ever been to districts before?

Cactus 🌵

 This year we have been doing Cactus. This is the first year Kaniere has been doing Cactus. Nearly every school in Hokitika does Cactus. This organisation helps us to get fitter and to learn important life skills. Our coaches are  Pita and Pascal. Every Wednesday and Friday we have cactus. Today we have been doing trust things. We had to be blindfolded and we had to have a partner. Our partner would help us put the blindfold on and then they would go over to Pita. Then Pita would show the others around where to guide us. I had to go to the playground and over and through the stage, it was very bumpy. My partner was Olivia Cuff I had to bring her through the dodgeball pit around the netball hoop around the tables and up and downhills. It was really fun! Do you do cactus?    

Districts swimming

 On Wednesday some people went to the district swimming. I only had two races. I got in for 2 lengths freestyle and 1 length breaststroke. Both of my races were at the start but my friend Olivia’s was around the end.Every Friday we went to the town pool and had a practice. It was really fun. Have you been to districts swimming before?

Rocket challenge🚀

 This year in Kereru we are doing a rocket challenge. We need to bring as much cardboard and bottles as we can. We need 1.5 lt bottles. We have got a pump to shoot the bottles. Last year Kereru made the rocket and one of the students' rockets went next door! The rocket challenge is a challenge you compete against other schools. First we have to get the bottles and the cardboard Mr Abbott our teacher is going to buy some hot glue guns for us. We need the hot glue guns to glue all the cardboard on. You get a little wet but it is fun have you ever did a rocket?
