Fatu Feu'u art project

Every Wednesdays Miss M comes and does art with us. This term we are learning about two famous artists called Fatu Feu’u who is Samoan and Phillip Clairmont. We have been researching about their art and how they inspire other people. Room 20 have also been sketching some designs with Mrs M in the style of Fatu Feu’u , and we have practicing sketching the scared couch by Phillip Clairmont.

We were given a paper and there were four squares on the paper and we had to draw four designs in the style of Fatu Feu’u. Out of all the four designs we had to choose one pattern and draw it bigger, some of us just four designs and got it laminated. Once they were laminated we used wood cut knifes to cut out little pieces, then we stuck them on to canvas.

It was finally time to roll paint our designs and some of us were helping Miss M with roll paint and spray paint ,I was helping with sticking the designs on to the canvas. Mrs M called us outside to show us an example, she was rolling it first then she thought of spraying it over ,she sprayed it over with the colour green. Once it was finished it really looked nice and colourful, it also stood out.

How computers got popular?

Computers have been so popular since 1975 till now.Did you know that early computers were people,will if you don’t now’s your time to find out.Early days computer was a originally a job tittle for women when they were working. In the early days women were always busy counting and doing a lot of mathematics and it was a very monotonous job.

At first people used their fingers for maths which explains why our number system is based on ten, some people used to scratch marks on trees to remember. Traders exchanged small pebbles to help them count the thing s they were trading. Then the abacus came out and it was used for counting and remembering the amount, the abacus was used for centuries.

Computers are now so popular around the whole world that it keeps making me wonder why are they so popular? I found out they are so popular because you can email or video chat your friends even if they are over seas. You can talk to family that are far away from you on skype. Computers are also popular because they also can help you learn, if you are doing a presentation on something you could always go to the Internet to find some information

Netball

“Yeah” I said. Room 20 were finally having some time out on our work and going outside and having a bit of p.e (netball). When we got a bit closer I noticed a lady standing there with a bag of balls. We then sat down and the lady introduced herself to us and her name was Emma our netball coach. Emma was here to teach us netball skills and how to play netball the proper way.

The first thing we were taught was throwing the ball properly.The first skill Emma told us was to hold the ball in a ‘W’ way and it didn’t matter if your fingers were touching or not touching, she also told us to make sure the was ball thrown from your chest long and strong.

Our final session was playing a game of netball!!! We were spilt into two teams. Half wore bibs and the other half didn’t. I was in the one that didn’t wear bibs. Finally the time came where we put our skills to the test and started our game. It was fun running around and trying to shoot the ball in the hoop. Our team got a few goals but I didn’t quite figure out who won.

I had so much fun learning how to play netball and I hope Emma will teach us some more skills and new games to play.

Who invented the telephone???

My creative name

Last week we went to our immersion class and my second class was room 22 ,Ms Tito. We were learning about creativity . We were told by Ms Tito to create our names and get images from the Internet and that was to be finished in a few minutes . As you can see my work above.

A stinging injection

“Excuse me Mrs Clarke ,may I please have Jane and Hajira”. Said Shaniah coming in to our maths class .I was wondering why Shaniah came for us. We saw a group of girls heading for the hall and we were following them. I suddenly remembered that we had a HPV injection.”OOOOHHH NOO”!!! I said with a groan.


As we went inside the hall fuaya we sat down waiting to go for our HPV injection . Our names were called out and we were given our forms . A lady called us and one by one went in to get their injection .My turn came and I was very scared because I didn’t like injections.

I sat down and the lady asked a me few questions while she was getting the needle ready. The time came and I was shaking like a drill .When she put the needle in my left arm it felt like a bee stinging me and I was about to let a scream out but I didn't.Suddenly a funny feeling went through my body and it felt very strange .

When the injection went out of my shoulder it really hurt that I couldn't lift my hand up. The lady told me that it would only hurt for one day. I went and sat down with the other girls where there was a movie on .All the girls were groaning about the pain and some girls were saying that ‘It felt nice I want to do it again’.

A lady called us for our times and checked it and we went back to our class. I was so glad that it was finally over .

Devastating disaster
