Art Exhibition

Hi Bloggers, my name is Nicholas and a few days ago our school had the art exhibition and I wanted to share my piece of art with you guys. I also made a slideshow about it so I will show you it here it is.

 The easy part was making the background for the fish. And the hard part was paper macheing the fish because you had to keep laying it for ages .So now you know (hopefully) how I made my fish and maybe try to make a piece of art. 

Matariki

Hi bloggers my name is Nicholas. I have got facts about Matariki. Sadly I didn't make an DLO so I have got some facts about Matariki. Happy Matariki to all those who celebrated and enjoy! 😀.


1.Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars known in English as the Pleiades.  
2. The word Matariki can be translated into English as eyes of god or little eyes.
3.Traditionally Matariki was a time for remembering the dead and celebrating new life.
4. Matariki is a star cluster not a constellation. 
5. You can see matariki for yourself. 
6. Matariki has many different names around the world.
7. Many people speak of the seven matariki stars as a mother and her daughters
8. Matariki was used by the crews of voyaging boats to guide them across the pacific. 

Designs Of A Waterproof House

Hi bloggers, my name is Nicholas and I have got another thing to show you.  In reading we had to design a waterproof house. It was part of our reading activity (the main focus was summarising and synthesising). The design had to have some features, such as it had to be high and also we had to have some features from a book that we read called 'Building for the Future'. Let me show you my work.  

I really enjoyed this task and hope we can do more things like this in the future. If you liked my work please comment and also give me feedback. Bye! 

Tiritiri Matangi

Hi guys so we went to Tiritiri Matangi. If you don't know what Tiritiri Matangi is it's a wildlife sanctuary with lots of endangered animals . Tiritiri Matangi  lies in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand, 3.4 km east of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula in the North Island and 30 km north east of Auckland.
It was a really cool experience and I really enjoyed it. We went there because it was part of inquiry. Our inquiry topic was endangered animals and how can we try to save them? My highlight would be when we saw a black robin those are really rare and also we saw a rare duck I forgot the name. If you would like to visit the site here it is http://www.tiritirimatangi.org.nz/
and also here are some photos.
