Today in school we had to do a digital collage on a native bird. This is my one of the ruru/morepork.

Kowhaiwhai Art

   

In He kakano we have been doing work around Maori art, more specifically kowhaiwhai panels.
So we got to make our own ones using canvases and paint. We decided to use the love heart design
with the koru to symbolise the community and the people in it. 

We chose these colours on accident and we decided to go for a dark look.
We experimented with colours and it turned out that we had used colours that we weren’t in our
original plan. It took a while to come up with the finale results but we were happy with the finished result.
  The splatter paint was an idea from our friend.

Jake Bailey

Today Jake bealy came to are school and talked to as. Jake Bailey is a survivor 

of bichette non hodgkin's lymphoma cancer. He is a very inspirational person he talked about his
struggles with cancer and how he wasn’t expected to live.  He did how once he had to stay in the
hospital room for 52 days straight. 

One thing he talked a lot about is happiness and resilience. How you need to be resilient in life be
resilient in life and when you get pushed down just get back up again. He also talked a lot about
happiness and how happiness is a skill that you learn and that you need to practice it to master
and keep it going so that you can stay in a happy state of mind.      

Another thing that was so incredible about his journey is how brave he was he hat to go through
a lot of very panfil presiges. The fiar that you are going to die is a  very scary thing that got really close
to Jake in his talk he said about even though everyone said he was brave he was confused because
he felt scared inside. He said that bravery is not a thing you feel it’s a thing that you do and is a thing that
is easy to fake. Real bravery is that evan when you are scared you keep going fired and doing stuff.

The last thing he said was to go away and do what you want in life.
Follow your dreams but not only for yourself do it for everyone with cancer who didn’t get the chance.

throne of glass book review

   Throne of Glass Book Review

 Are you a child in your teen/ tween years? Are you someone looking for something to read as in something that’s actually interesting! I have got just the book for you. Seriously this book is amazing! It’s got fantasy, adventure, lots of action and even the slightest bit of romance.

Throne of Glass is a fiction book written by Sara J Mass.  I would recommend this book for children aged 11 to 16 because it has some strong content in it that would be too much for younger children but I think that this age group is old enough to handle it in a mature way. 

Most of the story is set in Rifthold which is the capital city of Aradon. Aradon is the largest country  in the continent of Erilea 

The main characters in this book are Celaena Sardothien, Chaol Westfall, Dorian Havilliard, Nehemia Ytger, Cain, the king of Aradon, Nox and Kaltien.  Celaena is an eighteen year old assassin who gwas caught and now is a slave in Evander,a salt mine slave camp. Celaena gets the opportunity to go into a competition in which she could finally get her freedom after five years of being the king’s assassin… but only if she wins.

Chaol is captain of the guard in the castle serving for the king. Then the competition comes along and his best friend Dorian chooses to enter Celaena and it becomes his job to look after this snobby teenage brat, or so he thinks.  

Dorian is the crown prince of Aradon and best friends with Chaol. When Celaena comes to the castle for the competition Dorian thinks he might of actually found love other than the thousands of girls that have swooned over him in the past. 

Nehemia is the princess of Eyllwe. She is a strong leader and will do anything for her country and stopping her people from becoming slaves of the king of Aradon. She goes to  Rifthold to supposedly learn about the Aradon way of life and ends up becoming best friends with Celana. 

There isn’t really much to say about the king of Aradon. He’s just some evil king who took over the whole continent, slaughtered heaps of people and somehow managed to get rid of magic.

Cain is the Duke of Perrenton’s entry into the competition. He is from the White Fang Mountains where there is rumoured to still be magic but he is not the nicest person to be around.

Nox is the only person in the competition to be nice to celana throughout it. They help each other to keep going and complete the elimination challenges.

Katlian is one of the ladies in waiting To the Queen.  She is very beautiful and comes with family rumoured to be Richer in the King but she is very snobby and spends most of her time trying to win over Dorian.

I think that this book ralits to me because me and celaena both started fighting training at a young age  and I feel like I can connect to her personality and we are really similar people.  

In conclusion I think Throne of Glass is a good book that you should definitely read! 

I think you will really enjoy it especially if you like drama, adventure and fantasy books.

Callaghans ridge recount

O n thursday the 11 of april 2019 my class along with room 1 miss Kemp and some parents went and did the callaghans ridge walk. when we got we had to wait for the parent to drop the cars of at the other end of the track. We had already gotten given a scavenger hunt to do during the walk so we started to tick things off by what was around as. During the walk it started to rain hard but we still had to keep going. The bush was beautiful and alout of the thing were on the scavenger hunt like button fern, kidney fern, blue mushrooms and bell birds. After awhile we stopped for lunch but before we could eat we had to build a bavi with just some rope and a tarpaulin. After we had eaton we had to pack up are bavi and make it look like we hadn’t even been their.

Overall I think it was a good walk just very dump and it wasn’t just because of the run I have done other walks in that area and they are all dump so you would want to do it on a dry day. But it is still worth doing the walk. Evan through it is 4 hours long it is quite an easy walk to do.

road crossing safety

Kea Patrol

I strongly agree  that we should use kea patrol at Karoro because
I feel that it helps people cross the road safe and happy.
Kea patrol is a good opportunity for students to help.  

One reason the I feel very strongly that we should keep kea patrol at Karoro
school is that it helps people cross the street safely.
This is important because Karoro  school is right next to a state highway
so the traffic is going very fast. Even if we were next to a quieter road there
would still be danger because there would still be cars that could come and
some kids might be silly and just run across the road without looking.
There are a lot of people that cross the road and some of them are very small.
Their parents aren't always there to pick them up so if they try to cross the
road by themselves cars might not be able to see them.

Another reason I think kea patrol is important is that giving students the
opportunity to help out gives them a sense of maturity and makes them feel
important. Kea patrol gives these kids a chance to help out with their school
and develop leadership skills. This experience can help them speak louder
and have more confidence with other things in their life.

I personally feel that road patrol is vitally important because of safety and
responsibility.  We must use kea patrol at Karoro School and other schools
throughout New Zealand.
