A day about water

On thursday in week 7 of term one 5 people from room 41 and 42 went to Pongaroa and we learnt about water and how we could help to keep it clean. It was around about a 2 hour drive from here to Pongaroa and we took a bus. We also picked up some people from other schools. Once we did that we headed to our destination. On the bus ride we sang, played games and had some fun.

Once we got there we got introduced to the people that were running the place. We also had a chance to go into the long drop which smelt really bad. Once we got introduced we headed off to our first activity

For our first activity we put balls that you find in a ball pit into the river and we had to catch them we wrote different things that could pollute the rivers and caught them.

For our second activity we found bugs and saw if the water was good or not. The water turned out to be mot likely good.

For our third activity we had to plant some plants and trees to make sure the river got shade and birds in the forest got trees and stuff.

For our fourth activity we did the big drain game it was really cool.

Homework Task


Technology - Art

Tuesday

Tuesday was our first lesson for art. We had to draw what we saw using a frame then copy it on to a piece of polystyrene. After we did that we then had to put ink on the polystyrene which we then put on a piece of paper. I learnt that this process was called Print Making. Mine didn't turn out that well so I decided to make another one which went pretty well.

Wednesday

The next day we started to do the same thing but instead on a piece of wood we drew our picture with vivid then we carved a tiny bit that we wanted to be white. Once we did that we had to put the ink on it and then we had to press it against a piece of paper and it made a picture. Mine didn't turn out that well at all.

Thursday

On Thursday we got our e-asttle scores in for how good we did in art. I got a 4B I didn't do well at all. Then we went and worked on our prints. We had to make one print then another section of the print a different colour. I did it with the colours yellow, red and black in order.

Friday

The next day we finished off our work and then with white print we put our prints on a black piece of paper. We also wrote our words on the outside of the paper.
