From Matteo....

On the way to France we stopped in Los Angeles, in Venice beach where skateboarding was invented.  I even saw a skateboarding dog called Tilman.

In France, I eat good bread, good cheese, good sausages and ham. I learnt how to wakeboard and got better at skateboarding. I tried to surf, but there are hardly any waves.  Only two days with proper waves.

Sometimes I go fishing off the boat, but only catch little fish. I also spend time with my cousins called Marie and Pauline. The water is between 22 and 28 degrees, good for swimming.

Red Socks...

Today Westpac gave us some Sir Peter Blake Trust Red Socks.  It is twenty years since New Zealand won the first America's Cup.
How did the Red Socks become a craze in New Zealand?

Camera Shots & Angles...

Today B3 went on the computers to the Digistore to do an activity.  
We learnt that you can do all different camera shots.  A long shot is when when you are far away, instead of standing close up.  Lily and I finished first because we worked hard and quickly.  
After this we went outside and did photos to show the different camera shots and angles.  In PicCollage we put our best photos from the camera roll.  Then we needed to write what the shots were and we emailed them to Ms K.
What other camera shots can you think of or find?

Making our Artworks for Matariki....

We read a story called Celebrating Matariki.  Tania then told us we had to do a draft picture about Matariki.  Then we used black creative paint to go around the pencil marks.  We had to let it dry.

The next day we dyed inside the creative paint.  My picture is about the person trying to get the fish out of the sea and then they turn into the seven bright stars.

Our Trip to New Brighton Library....

On Tuesday 9th June the class went to the New Brighton Library.  We learnt about Matariki.  There are over 500 stars in a cluster and there's also 7 bright stars.

We made a poster about celebrating Matariki.  People have food, kai.  Matariki is about celebrating the New Year.

Learn more about Matariki at the Wicked website Matariki.

Crime Scene Investigation.....

How would you describe the suspect?

The door was open and some maths stuff got stolen.  All that was left was a sheet of evidence.  Inspector K needed your description before pictured self-destructed.

Mr Alien - He is a smooth blob of blubber.  His arms and legs look like little tree stumps.  He walks like a gangster guy.  His eyes look like little eggs with black dots in the middle.  His mouth looks like a frown.  Rilee A

Zef's rather soft and silky with a big of a bump.  His face feels like jelly when you touch it, your hand goes through it. Zef walks like a cold penguin.  His eyes look like squashed marshmallows.  He moves his arms when he walks.  Nabraska

Ben's as bouncy as a bouncy castle, he's as smooth as my skin.  The legs look stubby and he walks like an elephant.  His lip over laps and his mouth is a happy face upside down.  Ben's eyes look like little eggs and his face looks like a bean.  Oliver

Blobby is slimy like dog's dibble and when you push him he will feel like a marshmallow.  The arms and legs look short and have some baby fat on them with some little dots.  The mouth looks like the top of a tunnel and the bottom lip is going over the top lip.  Blobby has three eyes.  Tristan

Sky has three eyes and he is green.  His eyes look like squashed marshmallows.  Sky has three fingers and one thumb on each hand.  He walks like a new penguin.  His bottom lip is on top of his top lip. Lily
