Animal Olympics

Cheetah at Rio 2016

While I wait for the start, I dig my claws into the dirt to get grip. I shake. As I watch the other competitors take their marks, I think about how far the race is. I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest. The lightning rushing through my blood. The others look like they are going to waste me by miles. I was nervous. My legs were as cold as an ice cube.

Ready….Set....Go!!                            

The sky, dark and misty, roars as we try to pass each other to get in front. I see the puma trying to sprint ahead, I catch up. As we sprint through the forest, the mud flicks up behind us. I see the end. I gulp. I see the others start to pick up the pace so I do as well. It feels amazing to be racing in this race. I don’t even think about how tired I am or how far it is, all I can think about is the place that I will get.

I sprint past the finish line faster than I ever thought I could. I yell. Finally it’s over. I stop. I think. I just realise that I am tired but I’m more relieved that I have finished. I look.The butterflies in my tummy had finally gone.  I congratulate the others, then I go receive my gold for New Zealand.

Calendar art 2016

This is my calendar art. 

It is a one point perspective art.

First we drew the lines ,

Then we drew the trees and the ocean,

Then once we had finished drawing we painted it ,

This is the final thing!

My Net

This is my box, it is made for a highlighter.
I had to make sure that the highlighter wouldn't jiggle around.
I made sure that all of the measurements were exact.
The box had 6 faces, 8 edges and 12 vertices.
This is what it turned out like.

Polyhedron

 This is my 3D shape, it has 5 faces, 5 edges and 8 vertices.
It has 4 triangles and 1 square in the whole shape.

The Pohangia River

The Pohangina River.
This is about the Pohangina river that we went to at camp .
Room 2 did some researched about the river and came up with some ideas on how to show our learning.
I did a clay model this includes: Macroinvertebrates, a bridge, a fence, bushes, trees, a sewage pipe, facts, questions and answers
A interesting thing I found out that it is a run offs from cows can cause pollution.

The Spa Pool

The Spa Pool

Green trees droop over my head just touching the tip of my hair as I soak into the deep water

Noisey kids scream as they get a face full of water,

Wood,Rubber,metal

All are getting splashed as the children splash the dog.

Angry adults yell while putting up the huge umbrella

Huge bubbles pop, the clear water flows, powerful jets push us out of the way of the deep seats.

The crazy wind blows like a big strong force trying to pull us away

The Giant pot plant wobbles,

The old white lid waiting to be put back on the spa pool.
