My Dinosaur/Dragon Mask And Claws Creation!

Kia ora te whanau! My name is makaia! This week in the weekends I decided to make a dinosaur/dragon mask. I asked my dad to help me make the measurement and making the head. when he did the head we had to figure out how to make the mouth move. I had to tie a piece of string so I could try and make the mouth move. I put the mask on and I had to bite on the cardboard to make the mouth move and talk. then after my dad added some type of tape and put it where I have to bite on. My dad cut out 2 big holes for the eyes and 2 small holes for the nose. After cutting the holes We added ears, horns and teeth on it. it took my dad about an hour to do the whole head and measure how big it would be to put around my head. after we did the dragon/dinosaur head I made some claws that took me about 20 minutes or less to make.

The bit I liked most was making the claws.

The bit I least liked was figuring out how to make it.

I don't really know what to work on but here are some pictures of the claws and mask!

Thanks for looking at my blog! Have a great day/night! Good bye!

Visual MihiMihi

 Today I did a visual mihimihi. If you don't know what a visual mihimihi is, its something that you have to add a kai mihi, morning karakia, a whakatauki, pepeha and what you like and don't like.

I liked the bit we did when we had to what I liked and what I don't like.

The least bit i liked was doing the whakatauki because we had to find a whakatauki that is a bit like you. 

I think I could do better on my pepeha because I didn't add much to my pepeha.

Here is a link to the slide Visual mihimihi

Hope you enjoyed this blog! bye!

My Solar System Creation!

Hello! For a couple of days or weeks we have been learning about the solar system.

 We had to get into groups and I was in a group with me, Zyah, Mihiata and Jayzaiah. First we had to finish this solar system slide and then we could make our creation. and we learned so much! 

We each had a job to do on the creation, me and Jayzaiah painted the box while Mihiata and Zyah made the planets and painted them. After me and jayzaiah painted the outside of the box, we waited for it to dry so we could paint the inside of the box. When me and Jayzaiah finished  painted the inside of the box Mihiata and Zyah had to wait for the planets to dry. We made the planets out of big foam ball's, we made the sun out of paper mache and we hanged the planets with a glue gun and when we ran out of glue for the glue gun we used type of poking sticks. The focus question was "Why Do Planets Orbit The Sun?"

My favorite part about the solar system create was painting the box. The least favorite part of the solar system create was making the video. I think i could do better on adding the planets.

Here is the video of me showing the create.

Explanation Writing On How To Make A Smoothie.

How To Make A  Smoothie.

First, get a smoothie cup and blender. Then get Berries, Banana and milk and a spoon from the cupboard. Then get your smoothie cup and get your knife and cut up the banana so that it's small enough to fit in the blender.

 After cutting the banana, put it in the smoothie cup. And then get your berries like blueberries or raspberries and  grab your spoon and get some and put the berries in the smoothie cup. And then grab the milk from the fridge or wherever you put your milk and put it in the smoothing cup. 

Then put the lid on the smoothie cup and put the smoothie cup upside down on the blender and use your hands to spin it and make it evolve into a smoothie. Wait about 1 minute for it to evolve. After it evolves which means changing the berries and banana and milk into a milky smoothie, get a straw for your smoothie or you don’t have to. And then you can go sit on a table or wherever you wanna sit, and start drinking your smoothie! 

Making a smoothie is a great way to eat fruit and vegetables if you don’t want to eat vegetables or fruit by itself. If you don’t want vegetables and fruit, make a smoothie so that you can get your 5+ a day.

Level 3 Lockdown

 This level 3 lockdown my cousin came into my bubble because her mum had work. We went on a walk around the block and back. When we got back we hoped on to our devices, My cousin watched some Netflix and I played some video games. I'm so happy she's here!

The Fun Lockdown Walk.

Sometime in the lockdown me and my Aunty went on a walk to the Ōtākaro river, which is at the end of our street. I biked and my Aunty scootered there. On the way I biked on the road. When we got there it was so muddy and I got it all over my shoes. Then we picked up a great big long stick that I found in the water. It was all sticky and gross but it was worth it because I love picking up big sticks. Then I saw the pipes, water came out of it and  kept going faster and faster. Then me and my Aunty did some skimming rocks to see who could do the best and my Aunty did the best and most skims. 

I saw a hill that went all the way down to the end of the river. I went on the hill and biked all the way down! When I got to the end of the river it was so muddy, sticky and smelly. There was a lot of flies surrounding something but nothing was their. I tried to get out of the muddy place but it was so muddy I could hardly move! It was as muddy as quick sand! But  I got out in the end. When I got out we went back home and practice biking on the road the whole way home! It was a very fun walk!

What I Have Been Doing During Lockdown.

 The evening before the lockdown started me and my dad went to countdown to buy some treats for lockdown and when we got to countdown it was very busy and there were so many cars! Then we saw my Aunty and cousin there as well. After we got all the treats for lockdown we had to go to my other cousins house to get something.

After my cousins house we had to go to my dads work to pick up some stuff to bring home. When we got there I stole most of the grapes from the kitchen because they are delicious! Then we went home.  

On the second day of lockdown we stayed home and everyone got dressed and hung out in the backyard and me, my mum and sister played piggy in the middle, donkey and catches. After I played with the ball I went and watched a new movie called Vivo. After I watched Vivo I played on my device for a bit and then played with my baby brother.

The next day of lockdown for breakfast we made pancakes. I sprinkled drinking chocolate, some sugar and a marshmallow on top! after my pancake I hoped back in bed and watched a movie.  After my movie I had to get dressed and hop off the device for a little bit .During the day I got a little cold I thought I had Covid but I didn't. Then I started watching TV. When it got night time I fell asleep at 6:00 and woke up at 9:00 and then went into my room to go back to sleep.

After a couple days of lockdown me and my mum, dad and baby brother went on a walk to the beach and then we went past a dairy and secretly got me treats. He got me a sprite, cookie time and lollies  when we got to the beach we went straight home because it was so windy there. when we got home I hoped in bed and my mum, dad and brother hung out in the lounge. 

1 week later my mum told me tomorrow I have a google meet with my class. I was so nervous to see all my friends and then on snapchat I went to see if one of my friends were gonna be on. She said no because she did not have a computer. I said "ok then" When I joined I only saw two of my friends.  After saying hi to my friends and my teachers, my teachers said we have a couple stuff to finish on our site and then after talking for a bit we left the google meet and I was struggling to do my work so I decided to do it tomorrow and then me and my aunty went for a bike ride and I rid the bike and she scooted to the river. It has kind of been a fun lockdown!

Maori Sunset Koru!

 

Hello! This is my koru art made out of pastels!

I loved making the sun,water and korus!

I would work on the colouring the korus and sun. 

I think next time I would draw a "Maori space planet"!

Koru Art!

 This is my koru art!

I loved doing the koru's on my picture and drawing the shapes.

Next time I would do more koru's on there. 

No Timetable.

Today we didn't  had no timetable.We chose what kaupapa studied and when we would study it.

I really liked doing pangarau because we had to see how many people in my class has brown,blonde,red or other hair colors.

I didn't like doing panui because i didn't really like to screen record.

If we get to do this again i would finish off my pangarau because i would go on to the next step.
