Matariki story

Kia Ora bloggers, the last couple of Fridays we have been working on a Matariki project. For my project, I did a Matariki story. My story is a normal Matariki story but I used book creator to make my book. I hope you like it!

 Sorry, it is a bit small.

Hitchhikers Guide Symbols

Kia Ora bloggers, in literacy this week I did my symbol writing. For symbols, we had to find something in the book that meant something. We had to find five of these. Next week I just have to do my genres then I am done with my site. check out my site, do you like it?

ASCII Code

Kia Ora bloggers, today when made our names in ASCII. ASCII is a set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard).  I turned my initials into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code!  Using colours to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image below!

My name in numbers is 20 15 13, 19 5 12 12 5 18 19. My name in ASCII is 01110100 01101111 01101101 01110011 01100101 01101100 01101100 01100101 01110010 01110011.

Global issue image

In inquiry, we had to go around tables and write about the image on the table. When we had finished that we choose an image and wrote a paragraph on it here's mine. This shows some irony that they don't believe in global warming but the water has risen over there message. This proves global warming is real. I picked this one because it has a bit of humor. Do you like the image?

Super Siapo art

Kia Ora bloggers, today I made a Samoan Siapo art. Siapo art is one of the oldest and most important traditions of Samoa  It is a type of cloth made from the bark of the mulberry tree.  It is very time-consuming, because the bark must be harvested, stripped, separated, scraped, and beaten before it can be used.  It is then laid out in the sun to dry.

The artist uses natural dyes, created from items such as berries, bark, and nuts to make patterns on the cloth.  There are 13 traditional patterns used on siapo that represent things common to Samoan cultures such as nets, coconut leaves, shells, and flowers.

Do you like my design?

Titanic irony comic

Kia Ora bloggers today I made a comic with Kayden Palmer. Our comic had to have irony in it. We used Dramatic irony the other ironies are situational and verbal irony. Dramatic irony is knowing something that the person in the comic/movie doesn't like you know the iceberg is really big underneath the water. Do you like the comic?

Maths and literacy work

Kia Ora bloggers this week in maths we have been playing a game called take three. There are 21 counters you can take 1, 2, and 3 counters away. We had to find a way to always win. The way to win is to start and take one then you must keep it at multiples of four. In literacy, we have been writing more themes on our website. I added language to mine. At home maybe you could play take three as well and rig it?
