Recount on Art Week

Art Week

Last week starting from Monday the students of PBS did Pop Art. LS1 learnt about Andy warhol and what he use to do as a living.We did it for art intensive week this was the first art that  we have done this year art this year, We were like kind of inspired by Andy Warhol himself. It was called Pop art, Pop art stands for Popular art, Andy warhol was a great artist. I learnt a lot from him, The school focused on doing Art for the whole entire week. I am pretty sure everyone was tired.

First thing we did for Art was that we had to trace the black parts of the photo and then we had to go to the back of the paper and we had to shade in the parts that you can see where  you put the blue pen on. Later on we had to get a blank piece of paper and tape it to the bottom of the photo that you put shading on.

Next we had to turn the paper over and trace the black part again with a red pen. Last you have to take off the tape from the paper and see if you have written down your face or whatever you have traced with red pen it will show up on the blank paper. After we have showed the teacher our finished pencil traced face thing we had to pick a colored pastel and color the white bits on your photo. Last we had to use black paint to paint over the black parts of the paper with the pastel on it.  

The first person to finish was Farzana. The pastel and paint on her photo looked exactly like her.  When I finished I felt Great because I would always be tired of drawing in pastel because my hand would always hurt. Also when we had to do the researching I felt great because I found out a lot about Andy Warhol. Last I felt Wonderful because when I finished it felt amazing and It felt amazing to blog about what we had to do. That’s how we learnt how to make pop art.

I was a number 1 so I had to get the glove and go to the field. The first person to bat had to go to the front and pick up the bat and hit the ball. Once that person hit the ball then the fielding people have to try and get the ball back to home bass before the runner get their.

Kiwi Can

Today for Kiwi can our topic was Leadership and our theme was positive relation ship. Our games we played were Paper,scissors Rock and Charades. For charades we had to be in a group of three and we had to have one person go to the kiwi can leaders and they will tell us to act out something and the rest of the group have to try and guess what the person is acting out. When everyone has done and they know the answer everyone has to say the answer out loud and then the kiwi can leaders would have to pick you and the rest of the teams have to stop and the a new person would have to go up and do the next one. To play rock paper scissors you had to find a partner and play rock,paper,scissors and who ever won would be in front of the person who lost and the person who lost would have to go behind the person that won and put their hands on the winners shoulder and then the winner would have to challenge other people with rock,paper,scissors.

Andy Warhol

Rounding Math Equations

L.I to round up numbers to the nearest ten.
I learnt how to round up numbers to the nearest ten. I think rounding up numbers could really help with math because you can solve equations in another way. I learnt this by writing down the math questions and try to solve it by rounding them to the nearest number. Here is an Example: For the first equation is 9 + 6. To solve that we have to see which number is bigger. So 9 is the biggest number. So what is the nearest ten to 9. It’s 10. So now we have to take the 1 from the 6 so 6 takeaway 1 is 5.

Commenting

This week for Commenting I commented on Lianes's blogpost. Her blog post was about what activating prior knowledge means.

Kiwi Sport

Today for kiwi sport we learnt how to pitch. The equipment that was included was softball and bases. The bases were called home bass,first bass,second bass and third bass. Our warm up was when we had to run around in a circle but also touching the basses. We split into 2 teams one person would have to run around and touch the bass with their feet and they would have to get around as fast as the could. When everyone finished the results were in. Unfortunately both teams had a tie. I was hoping my team won but not this time. After the warm up we started by going to a ball on the cone or just going to the cone. So I had to go to a cone and I stood their until someone came and went to the ball and cone. Next H told us step by step on what techniques we have to use to pitch. The first technique was the flicker. The flicker is when you have to place you hand down beside you and have the ball in that hand and we had to try to throw the ball without making you hand move. The next technique we did was a letter technique we use the letters L and K. To make the L you had to put one hand up and the other one facing forwards to where you are looking. Then we had to do the letter K witch we had to go from an L to a K. To do the K you had to have the L shape and then one leg up and then you make the hand that is pointing to the sky you make the hand have the ball in it and twirl you hand around and then let go on of the ball. Last we went threw what we learnt and said what we have to focus on next time we start doing pitching again.

Kiwi Can

L.I to show leadership.

The theme is Positive relationships and the topic is leadership our catchphrase is leadership is fair,Leadership is fun, Leadership includes everyone.The games we played were hammer and copy me. My favorite game out of those two was the hammer. I like the game hammer because it includes speed and thinking fast. The photo on top is showing the game hammer and how we had to position yourself.This game is called copy me it is where you have to turn aroud and stay looking there and their is one person at the back and they are going to do an action and the person in front on the person ding the actions have to copy what that persons actions were. Then that person who just got told the actions they have to pass it on the person in front of them. It should keep going until the last person. The last person will have to do it and the first people  to give the action would say if it’s right or wrong
