Artwork from 2018

For this Blog post I am going to be sharing with you five different pieces of artwork that I have been working on through out this year. I hope you like them.


This first piece of artwork is my name art. I created this by folding a piece of paper in half and I wrote my name on one side of the paper. Then I went up to the window and copied it onto the other half of paper. After that I went over my name on both sides with vivid. Then added cool designs this is how mine turned out. 

This piece of artwork is my koru art. The giant pink koru is me and all the other korus are my family. I created this by designing how I wanted my Korus in my art book. Then I drew on my Korus with pencil first then I coloured in all the Korus with pastels. After that I used a black pastel and outlined all the Korus. Lastly I dyed the background I dyed mine red. This is how it turned out.

This is my camp cube the reason it is called a camp cube is because it has writing on it about when my class went to camp.

I created this by having a template of a cube then cutting out my writing and putting some in each box then I designed all the squares. After that I taped string on to one of the squares. Then I glued all the tabs together. This is how mine turned out.

This is my Lego person that I made with paper. First I drew my Lego person then I designed what I was going to draw on it. After that I coloured in my Lego person. I decided to draw my hand stand shirt on my shirt because I like gymnastics. This is what it looks like.

This last piece of art is my korowai which is my mihi but in drawings. This is the outside of my korowai. I used pastels to make the design. I decided to keep my design really simple. this is how it turned out. 

What was your favourite piece of art work that I have created?

Maybe you could make your own?

Wainui Heights Camp

On the first day of Term 2 after the April holidays from the 30th of April to the 2nd of May I went on camp with the Year Six children from my class and Room 20 to YMCA Wainui Heights. Some of the things we did were kayaking, abseiling, raft building and we had a camp fire. My highlight from camp was singing all the songs around the camp fire and kayaking. Here are two pieces of writing about camp.

Remember When

Remember When.... I went kayaking and I got really wet because water kept seeping into my kayak because of the little holes in it.

Remember When… we went raft building and not a lot of people knew how to tie knots as we had never done it before.

That was my 2018 camp to Wainui Heights.

Remember When… I went abseiling and I went up really fast since I love to climb and I’m not afraid of heights.

Remember When… we did the self led activity and we were in a bush and Liam slid down the mud when he was climbing up the hill.

That was my 2018 camp to Wainui Heights.

Remember When… we were at the campfire singing songs until it was nearly 8:00 pm, then we had to leave.

Do you Remember When… we were on the bus on the way home and lots of people fell asleep although it was bumpy.

That was my 2018 camp to Wainui Heights.

Camp Challenge

I heard...
The waves slowly creeping towards the shore as we were talking about safety issues.

I heard...
Lots of paddles hitting the water as we were following Matthias around the corner.

I saw...
Everyone slowly getting the hang of things as they glided through the water.

I felt...
The cold icy water trickling down the paddle onto my already freezing hands.

I felt...
My arms becoming exhausted as we were coming to the end of the session.

I wondered...
If I would ever catch up with everyone else to get back to shore as I was not that fast.

I wondered...
If I would ever do anything like that again in my life, as I really enjoyed it.
