Klaws : a movie study

                                                           KLAUS
In class we have been doing a movie study, about a movie called Klaus a Christmas movie.
The theme was kindness , giving ,friendship and Christmas. there was two family's who disliked each other with a passion .They lived in Smeerensburg, which is a gloomy place with no happiness or friendship. a deputy postman went to Smeersburg ,his name was Jesper. His dad ordered that Jesper has to go to Smeersburg to deliver 6,000  letters.


 We got a contract to do about the movie like , write a letter to a friend in another class explaining why the other person should watch Klaws. I enjoyed  the movie because it showed the meaning of friendship and giving, kindness and Christmas.

I recommend Klaws , because its a movie that you can pick up the meaning easily. Also the meaning of giving and friendship I loved this movie I hope you do too.

Guy Fawkes

I agree that Guy Fawkes should be banned because it frightens animals.How would you like it if you were a dog and your owner set off fireworks and you got frighted by the loud bang?

Also what about the damage you can cause by having fireworks in your backyard, like if you waited for it to explode and it shot in your face,you could damage you're hearing by popping an ear drum or getting a spark in your eye from being to close to the firework.

Waste of money...Fireworks is a waste of money because some don't work or others,last for two minutes.

people have been using them inappropriately,because they think its okay to set them off at the top of Mt Wellington and Auckland, that's making fires all around New Zealand.

There has been a report that there has been fifty-five fires over Auckland by using fireworks.

In conclusion I think that the sale of Guy Fawkes in New Zealand should be banned.

Paplo Picasso

For a few days we have been doing art inspired by Pablo Picasso...
We first did a "Roll-a Picasso" where you rolled a dice and whatever you landed on,you had to have that as your face shape or ear...after we drafted our art.

The next day we got a big piece of paper and did our real art, we used chalk pastel to colour it in.It got all over our hands so we had to wash them after every colour -in case we were to blend the blue in with the red, you were using so it would have a blue streak in the red.
 FACTS:
Pablo Picasso's name is 20 words long!
He received his name when he was baptised.
His name came from all the saints when he was baptised                                    HERE'S MINE!

~Holidays~

Mrs Culter our teacher said we could write about our holiday in order of amazing,scary and relaxing.

I learnt how to do a front flip...I was on my trampoline and was going to flip when I landed on my back I  flew up in the air then came crashing down like smashing water on rocks.

~relaxing~ I got to chill and watch two movies full out and tall girl...i also got to play with my dog

Learning

for a few weeks my class have been trying to plant native plants because the tress from in-front of our school got cut down.First we dug some holes to place the plants down,we were digging and found clay,after that we tried a different  place to dig,the same thing happened.a few weeks later Mrs Culter found out it was pan.we got a digger to dig up the pan to make it easier. yesterday we got some plants that we planted.We took until morning tea to finish,someone had to shove the dirt and someone would run it to the front of the field and back.everyone would take turns.by the time we were done I was puffed and the worst thing was we had athletics after that...but I still enjoyed it!

Google earth

Last week my class learnt about famous landmarks from all around the world.

like the The Egyptian Pyramids,
The leaning tower of Pisa,
Eiffel Tower,
Taj Mahal 
Sydney opera house,
Empire state building,
The Statue of Liberty
And the Colosseum 


Then we went to the mat and Mrs Culter explained "get you're chrome books out and search up google earth and put in the search bar famous landmarks.
I searched up the White House,In google earth you could go inside the actual white house and see whats inside I've always wanted to see the inside of The White house.
Did you know that the when the builders of the leaning tower of Pisa got to the third floor the building started to sink,before it started to sink the leaning tower of Pisa's name was going to be the tower of Pisa.

$200 dollar note

For a couple of weeks we have been learning about  famous icons in New Zealand.

Then my class took the risk of making a $200 dollar note,after we were learning about all the famous people of New Zealand .
In New Zealand the people on the money may of changed New Zealand or the world.
We drew out a sketch of the person that we wanted, I did Jacinda Ardern  because she is  very important to New Zealand.

She made plastic bags banned in most grocery stores.

The reason why I used a Tui is because the Tui has a strong meaning of being a bird just like Jacinda Ardern .

I used Auckland city landmark because she is special to Auckland,and the new motorway.
