SLJ Task 2

Today for the summer learning journey we did this activity that included making a comic and write about the plot. My favorite part was making the comic and my least favorite part was reading the book. By Hunter.

Task 5

We have finished street art. and we had to make something, like a picture, song, drama or dance. I did an artwork about factories and how they effect the enviroment.

By Hunter

Task 3: Banksy

We are learning about street art. This is task 3 and in this task, we are meant to write a profile about Banksy. My favourite part was finding out how much Banksy earns a year.

TASK 2 Graffiti or Street art; Street art or crime

This incident happened in South London in England. 

I think that these men should have been arrested because they painted on buildings without permission. They have been awarded by the New York art gallery and some of the work they did the people who owned the buildings said they liked what they had done. I reckon Graffiti or street art should be chosen by the person who owns the premises.

3. I agree that he had to default because if he hit harder he could have killed her.
4. Yes because he mentioned he did it a week before and that it's not acceptable because he is not controlling his temper and since he is getting paid 20m dollars a year he needs to respect the surrounding areas.
5. No, because he is old enough to control his actions.

This term we are doing sportsman ship. Here are my answers for some questions. First we had to read a NZ Herald artical about Novak Djokovic and then answer the questions above. There were five questions to answer in full sentences. By Hunter.

Sportsmanship Brain Dump

 

 A brain dump is where you put all your ideas onto a piece of paper. It is a good way to get all of your ideas down on the same piece of paper. This term we are learning about sportsmanship. The braindump activity is so you can write all your ideas in one spot about sportsmanship that you already know.

Literacy Homework

This is the describe a character chart. Here you can see what the characters in the book, The Wind Singer are like.

This is the plot of what happens in the book. My favorite part is when the Zars turn to dust.

This tells you the atmosphere during the climax and how much action there is.

The above is what the author (WILLIAM NICHOLSON) is trying to say and some questions you will be coming away with.

I reckon that this is a good book for you to read and you will not want to stop.

Egypt

 

Here is my Egypt inquiry project. The most fun part was creating this drawing. Next time I reckon I should add more detail.
