Way with words Chapter Challenge

This week I have done a way with words for chapter challenge. The task was to make a letter from Ma to send it to the kids. I made a draft of what she would say in my artbook then write it in my freedom writing. But thought if this story was based years and years ago I thought of making the letter look old so I scrounged up the paper and then I put some tea on it to dye the paper brown So it looks fragile and old.

CC Staion 2020

For the past week, we have been reading a book called the Mapmakers race. It is all about these kids who got stranded in a town and they have no money so they entered a race to win 1,000 dollars they have to make a map from Grand prospect to New cole haven.  one of the activities was to make a dray so I made one.  I made it out of cardboard, string, paper,  ice block sticks, and a  straw. I glued a straw to the bottom of my dray then I made some wheels out of cardboard. then I made a hole in the middle of the wheel so I could connect it with my dray but then I thought a draw drays have wood so I used the ice block sticks and then I glued them to my dray. then I made a person driving the cart and i made a horse because drays got towed by horses. I also made a drink bottle so the person doesn't get thirsty and a sandwich so he doesn't get Hungary too. 

  

Pepeha star 2020

Over the last week, I have been working on my visual pepeha. 

I am proud of how I presented my pepeha. I was a little tricky but I tried my best and I made it.

What I found challenging was Drawing the pictures because I am not that good at drawing. It was tricky to do. but I think it looks similar.

I worked with my Mum to create my whanau star.

First blog post 2020

The activity I have enjoyed the most this week is the water slide was the water activities and the fruity tooty game. I enjoyed them because it was a team bonding experience not just for me but for everyone to make new friends and get to know people a little better.

What I am most looking forward to this year is the year six bike ride and lots of other things that we will do this year

I am excited to do the bike ride because I like biking and I love spending time with my friends.

Someone I have helped so far is the year fives make their blogs and helping them become the best Whetuiens they can be.
