This is my colouring from the Summer Learning Journey. I did the summer Learning Journey colouring yesterday. My whole class signed the Summer Learning Journey. I coloured a picture in lots of different colours. I coloured a few pictures for the Summer Learning Journey from the activity called the art coloring book. I am proud of all the colors that I choose to colour the picture. Have you ever done the art colouring book on the Summer Learning Journey?

In maths, we have been doing tidy numbers and place value tidy numbers is when you get a number that is close to a number and then add on another number to make a number and then add or subtract you use place value when numbers are on nine or under nine.
On Wednesdays or Thursdays, we do P.E. with Naomi where we practice soccer skills like dribbling the ball between our feet and using our right foot and our left foot. Sometimes we do Kahoots. Kahoots are where there are questions you have to answer.
We have been doing a debate on three different topics one of the topics was cats vs dogs, plastic is a problem and the last one is why zoos are good for animals.
We also made flax baskets to put our sausages in. Yesterday we did an animated gif is when you take a screencastify of yourself and download it.
Have you ever done a debate, tidy numbers or place value, or persuasive writing, or P.E. with someone, or Kahoot, or spelling, or sculpt GL, or google music lab, or Matariki activities or Matariki art, or screencastify before?
Yesterday my class made flax baskets with flax. Some of the seniors from the Ruma Kereru helped us make our flax baskets. First, we had to put down seven flax pieces going upward then five pieces of flax going under over, under over, under over until you get to the end of the flax do under over to the other four pieces. When you have finished making the mat of your flax basket get the flax sticking out of the side of one of the sides and bunch up the flax pieces you have that you got from the side of the mat and get a piece of spare flax and tie it around the flax that you bunched up do the same to the other side. Next, get some flax that is sticking out of the other sides of the mat do that to both sides. Lastly, make the handle by getting the pieces of flax that were bunched up and tied together with another piece of flax and twist the pieces of flax together that got tied with another piece of flax and your flax basket will be finished. Have you ever made flax baskets before? Do you want to make flax baskets?
Yesterday my class was doing Matariki art. These are the materials you need to make Matariki art. Newsprint, pencil, scissors, an image of a mountain ridgeline, A4 black paper, chalk pastel, stick-on stars, hair spray, white mounting paper, and a glue stick. First, get a piece of newsprint and get a pencil and draw a mountain ridgeline. Next cut out the ridgeline and put it on some A4 black paper get some colored chalk pastels to make lines upward then smudge up the colors. Then spray hair spray over your art then the chalk won't smudge.
Lastly, get a piece of white mounting paper and glue it to the back of your artwork.
These are the Tidy numbers that I have been learning in maths. Tidy numbers are when you can take a number that is closest to another number and get another number then put that other number onto the first number you had and then take away some numbers to make the number you wanted. Have you ever done tidy numbers before? Do you want to do tidy numbers in maths? Question 1a was 49 + 25 what I did was instead of 49 I put 50 + 25 and I got 75 then I took away 1 and got 74.
