My artafact

My artifact is a vase but not any vase it's a vase that has a amazing handle design. I made it with my beer hands with clay, and a hole in the middle for a scroll with heaps of information about pole vaulting. I has to find heaps of pages of notes. I Had to use my perseverance muscle to do this peace of art. I have been learning about how to write a report but luckily for me, I had some information that I already written down that I could use, but the tricky part was to make the Introduction and the conclusion from scratch. Here some photos of my artifact.

I am proud of my self because I used revising muscle to go back and make changes to complete my learning task.  The thing that challenged me was getting the lines to the middle because you had to get it in the right spot or it would look weird.  I had to use my noticing muscle to get the task done because I had to look at were I needed to fix something up.

Matariki

Everyone in Totara Whanau has been learning about matariki. Matariki is the Maori New Year. The main thing about Matariki is that it's the 7 stars. In the Maori culture, activities are one of the main thing they do because there was no TV no computers no Ipod or Ipads there was nothing but their hands and sticks and stones. On matariki me and Totara Whanau did some thing that the Maori people do like make kite's and do cooking to celebrate Maori New year. I did cooking for the whole hub but I had other kids doing it as well and parents to help and the fellow kids. We made fri-bread and fish pie, it was a lot of fun and good experience being a chef.

Introduction:

One day I got very hungry because my fat grandma ate all the bread so I made my own for me.

Did you know that in the old days the people used to use a scythe and a sickle. Also, did you know that bread is very healthy because of all the vitamins and minerals in it. Did you know that there are many different types of bread in different countries?

Ingredients

1 Tbsp white sugar

1 Tsp oil

Half  cup warm not hot water

1 third of cup of flour

1 tsp yeast

Method

Grab a bowl and carefully place the white sugar, yeast and flour and stir until it looks like flour again.

Pour in the oil and warm not hot water and stir.

Knead for approximately 1 and a half minutes.

Shape the dough into what you want.

Leave for 30 minutes to rise under a towel.

Wrap the dough in baking paper and place it in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes.

I am proud of my self because I got this writing to show the reader how to make bread mostly when I got to the verbs.
The thing that challenged me the most was the verbs because I didn't know what to do for the verbs at the start it made my brain think. I learnt what a verb was.

How to look after a broken collarbone

How to look after a broken collarbone.

Have you ever had a broken collarbone?

A collarbone is also called the clavicle that is the fancy name for it. Did you know that the collarbone is the only bone that is connected to your arm excpect if it’s muscle. Also did you know you can’t have a cast on your broken collarbone because it will hurt your broken collarbone.

Things you need for a broken collarbone

• A sling
• Someone willing to help you for the first couple of days until you get used to it
• A patient patient

1. Go to the doctors to get an x-ray to see what it looks like. If  the x-ray shows it broken this is what you do.
2. Hold your arm very still and a doctor will give you a sling.
3. Take some Pamol to stop it from hurting so bad.
4. Use the arm that you didn’t break.
5. Wait about 3 weeks you can sleep with the sling off and at the 4 week mark you can take the sling off for good.

Carefully start to play at the 2 week mark but be warned life has its consequences.

I will show you two photos one is me with a sling on and another of an x-ray of a broken collarbone.

I'm proud of my self because I persevered when learning got tough.

The thing that challenged me was to get my verbs in.

My brokencollar bone

On the ester holidays 2016 I broke my collarbone also know as the clavicle. Well i’ll tell you the story. So it was Saturday morning but for some reason we were doing rugby training instead of Friday afternoon, it was going great until it was tackle bull rush. We started to play got through a few times, then I got tackled and then the other people got tackled round one went past fast. The next round started a few kids went by, Noah my friend got tackled and he picked me to run, so I did I almost got there but I was getting held back by Noah and two other kids and then a kid called Cliche tackled me at the wrong time and SNAP!!! And that’s the story of how I broke my collar bone.

Because I have broke my collar bone I now have to adapted to my new way of learning for a few weeks. 

Here is a photo of me in my sling.

Vocabulary

I have been working on vocabulary word because it was one of my leaning tarsk. I know I have to use clues to work out what words mean. The clues are in the text and sometimes in the word. I lernt that it that every fore(four) years the moon goes in front of the sun making it the not be abale(able) to see earth making the earth dark.

This is my vocabulary

 I have been using vocabulary in my writing as well and that's why I'm showing you my writing.

The Great water slide

I was at the biggest baddest water slide ever and it’s name was the slide of Life and Death. In a normal theme park many people have died on the slide but many have survived.  If you survive you can’t tell the tale of what it was like. It was going to be my turn soon, finally it was my turn I felt so scared I would go back down, but the rules where you can’t go back. Finally it was my turn, nervously shoving myself off I started to zoom down the slide with great speed going faster and faster down the slide. I thought I saw the end of the slide but it was a jump I screamed like a little girl. Thinking that I would die my heart was beating as fast as a cheater I lay down on my back trying to go faster, then I leaped off the air like a hawk soaring through the sky with great speed. Still screaming like a little girl I landed with a thump!. All my screams turned into a very loud ouch! My bottom didn't get hurt because it was two inches thick. You might think it’s the end but it’s not, still on the slide it was time for the two meter drop. With a splash in the shape of a bomb. Hitting the water surface I started to go as fast as I could I swam to the side of the two meter deep pool and I shouted out loud “Again”!

Now I want to share with you five vocabulary words in my writing:Zoom,Soaring,Thump,splash and nervously.
