Today I was learning how to shade using pencils. For this task I had to decide what nz bird I wanted to do, I chose the royal spoonbill. Then I had to trace it on the window, then once I had my bird traced I had to put shapes in the middle of my bird, next I had to shade in my shapes using the colours the photo of the bird had. After that I had to dye the background, the next step was to put little square crape paper around my bird, lastly, I had to outline my bird with a black pen. I enjoyed dying it because I felt calming and I found it challenging to trace the bird because I only had one try and I felt like I was going to mess up. I would love it if you commented on My speech about Why you need to like horses. this was my art. 

Why you Need to Like Horses 🐴 🐎

Today I was learning how to write a speech. For this activity I had to write my pepeha then I had to find information about horses, then I had to start my writing/speech. I enjoyed writing my speech and I found it challenging to say my speech out loud because I was nervus. I would love it if you commented on is mr wolf guilty of murder. this is a picture of me and below is my speech. 

Why You need to like horses

Do you like horses? Have you ever rode a horse? Have you ever seen one? I strongly believe you should like horses because horses are beautiful, horses understand you and there are even some social activities. I am going to tell you three reasons why horses are amazing and then you can decide if you should think about liking horses or not. 


Firstly, Beauty can be in the eyes of the beholder. Horses inspire artists through the ages. They are living art forms that remind us of the natural wonders of the world. This in turn inspires us to live our lives at a higher level. Do you like reading? If you do, I think you should try out reading books from authors like Stacy Greg and for a little bit younger readers there is a series called pony pals. They write about horses. 


Secondly, There are lot’s of social activities related to horses. From hanging out at stables with friends to going to shows or group trail rides. horses keep their owner in touch with other humans. And they relax you, a trail ride isn’t very bad. You can even play amazing fun games on horses like capture the flag,  Red Light Green Light, the Egg and Spoon race, Simon Says and obstacle courses. 


Lastly, Horses see our real self. They don’t care if we are the President of a company or the janitor in the local school. They see you as who you really are. You have to earn their respect. You have to be honest with them and yourself. It’s like having a friend that really understands you. Can I just add that when you are riding a horse it feels like flying it feels so free.


Those are my three reasons you should like horses and you can decide if you like horses or not. I love horses and riding, and I really like cross country. Do you think horses are amazing yet? I hope you liked my speech about horses.

Is Mr wolf guilty?

Today I was learning how to write a persuasive text and this was my plan and writing. For this activity I had to write a plan. In my plan I had to have three reasons Mr Wolf in the story of little red riding hood was guilty or if he is not guilty, I chose non guilty. I enjoyed writing and I found it challenging to find three reasons Why Mr Wolf is guilty. I would love it if you commented on turtles.

1. turtles predators are tiger sharks and Orca. 
2. scientists believe that one out of a thousand baby turtles make it to adulthood. 
3. the largest turtles weigh up to a thousand pounds.
