Summary Customised Shoes

 LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about.


This summary is about a sneaker artist named Rangi-Haira Jaxon Greening. He customises his own shoes and sends them around the world to people who wanna buy them. He is now trying to make a living out of designing sneakers, 'I never thought I'd get to this point' he says. His art works on different pair of sneakers are stunning. My challenge here was to write down 20 important words from a article I read and then from those 20 words, I picked 6 most important words. Out of those 6 modt important words I used them to make a short paragraph about Rangi-Haira Jaxon Greening. Something I found interesting is that Rangi-Haira Jaxon Greening started this as a hobby and now is making a living out of it.

Recreating Famous Artworks

 LI: To use Google Draw to recreate a famous artwork.

LI: To use your knowledge of colour and colour mixing to replicate the colours used in the artworks.


This week we have been learning about famous artworks and colour mixing. The artwork I chose was 'The Mona Lisa' by Leonardo da Vinci. This artwork was painted in 1503. It was painted because the lady in the painting 'Lisa del giocondo' was giving birth to her second son and it was to celebrate her families new home as well. Today it can be found in the Louvre Museum, Paris. I enjoyed this challenge because I learnt new facts about the painting and about who painted it.

Maths

LI: To define the terms and understand the properties of 2D shapes.

Our challenge today was to find the definitions of a 2D shape then draw the shape. I chose to draw my own/use the shapes tool because it will help me show you the way I see and understand it. I found this interesting because it was a bit of something new but at the same time I knew what I was doing. I liked this challenge because I got to show my way of understanding the different degrees.

Goodbye Hello Poem

 L.I: To write a list poem that describes a topic by painting a picture of opposites with your words.


For writing, me and my brother created our own Goodbye Hello Poem. A Goodbye Hello Poem is when you pick a topic like 'Lockdown' and then in a specific way, you write what you miss and what you don't miss before lockdown started. I think this is my second time writing one of these poems.  I enjoyed writing this poem because it was kind of creative and really fun to write.

List Poem

 L.I: Create a listing poem about any poem.


For writing, me and my brother created our own list poem. A List poem is listing different things that link to the topic your writing about, for example we did 'The annoying things my brother/sister does. This poem was something different and it was my first time writing one of these. I enjoyed writing this poem because it was funny and at the same time me and my brother mocked each other #another thing we do to annoy each other. Someone who reads this and has siblings might be able to relate.

Hauora

 L.I: To draw and label your own Hauora diagram

In order to be able to perform at their best athletes need to have a four walls of the whare tapawha standing. We created this poster to show what each wall represents and why it is important. I found out that if you arn't feeling really happy and one of your walls fall down, that means every other wall will fall aswell unless you pick yourself up and keep pushing yourself to be positive. I enjoyed making this poster because other people can read it and learn how to win without shoving it in other peoples faces.



Ancient Olympic Games Presentation

LI: To skim and scan to find facts about the Ancient Olympics and make notes in my own words.

We used our reading time this week to find out about the Ancient Greek Olympics. Once we had made our notes and reorganised our information we collaboratively created a presentation. I found out that if married women were caught in the olympic stadium then they would get thrown off Mt Olympis. I enjoyed this because I got to find out interesting information like the different sports they did in the ancient time.
