Pepeha Star/ Whanau Star.

Over the last week I have been working on my visual pepeha. I have loved doing my visual pepeha because it is a mixture of things that I loved I love to draw, colour, Learning Maori and learning about me that I didn't even know about myself. So it was pretty easy for me because I love to do those things. I was looking at my photos on the other side of the star and started to laugh at all the pictures because my sister used to have a really big head..

I am proud of my colouring and drawing I did on my star. Because it looked really close to what my actual pepeha looks like in real life.

What I found challenging was the cutting and putting on my photos, because I had seven photos that I really wanted on my star but one couldn't fit but I trimmed it really carefully and fit all of them. Then I had to cut and I was pressured because if I cut the star I would have to give a chocolate bar to Mrs. Loft. So I got half way through and I gave it to my Mum because she is really careful and good at cutting.

I worked with Ashley and My Mum to create my whanau star.

First blog post

Something that I was nervous about when starting the new year at school was when I had to get all my stationary and things ready for school.

Something that has surprised me this week the cup and water activity. Because it was cold and it gave me a fright.

The activity I have enjoyed the most this week is either the Newspaper challenge or the fun water activities. Because they were about people who don't really know each other collaborating,
having fun and getting to know each other. Plus it was really fun modelling for the newspaper challenge.

A goal I have for myself this year is to be a great role model and helpful in Whetu as a year 6. Because last year when I was a year 5 I had a lot of people who were kind and helped me.


What I am most looking forward to this year is having the Year 5’s in Whetu. Because then I can make new friends.

Some people I have helped so far is Tayla and Katelyn with their blogs because they forgot how to do their avatar..

How I aim to show our NPS I CARE is to be kind and helpful to others that need it.

Christmas Countdown #2.

This is my 2nd Christmas Countdown. It is the Wreath behind
door number two.
I made and I think that it is pretty similar.
I have made a overflowing honey jar and I think that this
Wreath looks really good.

Christmas Countdown.

This is my Christmas Countdown. I have done the Wrapping paper behind door number 4. I have put in as much effort as I can and I think that I did pretty well. I did the Santa Theme.

Survivor Bag.

This is my survivor Backpack It will be useful when I am out in the bush.

FF CC T4

These two weeks I have done character model but mostly more about me. I put Ghost at the top and my pop outs and flaps down the bottom to make it look tidy. I think that this Fabulous Finish has a lot of detail, colour, potential and a overflowing honey jar. I tried to do my best because all the others were not as good as I wanted them to be. That's why I put it on black paper and made it a bit different to the other Fabulous finish's. I rate my Fabulous finish a 9/10.
