Visual Pepeha

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

I am proud of my background because it makes everything pops up and stand out even though it was black.

What I found challenging was trying to put on my photos on my star and not trying to cut their heads off.

I worked with Tamzin’s and Ihi’s mums to create my whanau star.

My First Blog Post for 2020

Something that has surprised me this week that we were going

to do water activities I thought. that we aren't going to need our swimming togs.


The activity I have enjoyed the most this week is the

water activities because it was, in the afternoon so I can be cooled down and have

a lot of fun the hardest one is Mrs.Loft because we have to hold the cup of water,

on our heads so it jumps up and down so the water gets out.


What I am most looking forward to this year is to read one

of the year 6 books because the look very interesting to me.


Someone I have helped so far is Jolie, and Katlin I help Jolie because

she didn’t know how to change the eye colour on the avatar, I have help

Katiln with here blog and her art cover.

Wreath challenge. Student whetu Christmas countdown.

Wreath
This my Wreath for my Christmas countdown,  my favorite part was the bow and the ribbon around it. The hardest  part was putting the hanger on the top of the adornment, because they are small so all I could see is just blue text box, around it also it was hard to chose the colours around it.
            

                        

Map Orienteering

For Map Orienteering,it was kind of like a scavenger hunt but we had maps and we have to look for the points and we had a piece of paper, we have to find the points and go there and then we have to write a letter what we have found my troop the sliver ferns found a clue the clue said, what do bears called campers in sleeping bag? At first we didn't know so we kept on looking for some letters the hardest one was the the one at the play ground on side of the wood we mange to get a lot but we had no idea where the other two were so we head back and we found out that the word was burritos.

Fire Survivor

For Whetu Survivor, we did fire with Mrs. Kennedy it was so much fun we learnt a lot. We need to make a TP shape from the sticks so air, can get out after we tried to make a spark with flint it was very, hard because we need to put a lot of friction, on it so it can spark we are not aloud to touch the metal on the, thing we scarp it on then Mrs. Kennedy tried to light a real fire so we made a circle around it so the wind won't take out the spark but it didn't work the wind  over us.

Fabulous Finish

 Fabulous Finish 
This is my  Fabulous Finish for Ghost, the book. I did a popout of the track I did all the characters that I can think of like Ghost, Patina, Lou, Sunny and Couch you can also see trees that are different colours and with a tree with fruits on it so it can look real also so it looks like it is popping out at you. I also did some stuff at the front about Ghost's personalty I did sunflower seed bag and the defenders flag also his name in a nice font that I did.

Bush Backpack

I have made a backpack that you will need for going into a bush just in case.

Bush Survival.

S.t.o.p.

• Stop, Think, Observe and Plan.
• Stop is a survival mind exercise for your brain.

Finding fresh water.

• You can make a well that is 1 foot tall and 1 foot deep in a dried-up river that is still damp

or trees and other plants that are alive and boil it by fire.

• If your near a river grab a bottle or something that can hold the water, boil it over a fire.
• Put a container outside and leave for a couple of days and you get some water boil it just in case if any bacteria went in it.

Shelter

• You can Build it on hard solid ground so your shelter doesn't fly away.
• Build it on Flat ground so no cold breeze can get under the crack from the hill.
• Build it on higher ground so predators can't get you up high or in case if there was a flood nearby.

Fire

• You can use sticks and twigs for the fire so it can burn for a fire you would need oxygen heat and fuel to keep it burning for oxygen you can use your breath to keep it on when it is going out fuel is for keeping it on and burning which is paper twigs our sticks make sure it is dry put water around the hole you have dug but the outside of it so when it sparks it will not 
• burn the grass or anything that can burn. 
• If you rub 2 rocks together it can make a fire if you don't have any matches make sure you do it fast and breath for oxygen for the fire.
• Have water just in case when its an emergency.

Basic first aid 

• If you get cut then you can use leaves that are clean to patch up the wound.
• Use pressure on cuts when bleeding to stop you bleeding out.
• If you get bitten by a snake then don’t cut at or around the bite.

Signaling For Help

• Signal using smoke and fire, you will 3 fires in the shape of a triangle and they will need to be 100 feet apart.
• If you have a mirror or glass try to reflect light up onto your target (maybe someone flying around in the helicopter above you) and try to get their attention.
• Scream as loud as you can when a plane or something is near you and wave your hands so they know where you are.

Clove Hitch

For my third knot, I did the Clove hitch for the first go it was so hard and for my second go it was still not right so I asked someone to help me it was Joile she helps me a lot with the clove hitch. So I give it a 4/5 for the difficulty level.

You can use the Clove Hitch for when you go camping you can use two trees and do the clove hitch on both sides around the tree so it can be a washing line.

Figure 8 Knot

For my second knot, I did the figure 8 Knot my friend Asha helped me how to do it becasue I had no idea how to do it for the first step is to make a circle and then at the bottom make I made a small circle and I used the bottom rope and put it on top of the top circle and put it under and I had a figure 8 knot. The difficulty level is 3/5.

The figure 8 knot is a non slip knot and it is used for mountain climbing. The difficulty level is 3/5.

Chapter Chat Week 5 Term 4 Fantastic Favorite

 Fantastic Favorite

For this week I did Creation Station, for my  Fantastic Favorite, for the circle I used a jar and I traced around it for a perfect circle, but the bottom of the jar was a bit bumpy so I used the top of the jar so it can be perfect. I colored it in I add some highlight made out of gel pens so it can sparkle also. I add the Olympics logo at the back of the medal and I used some blue, and red ribbon for the strap.
