Self portrait

Kia ora,

This week we have been doing self portraits.
Well making this art i learnt how to mix colours out of basic colours.

To make this art we got a photo of yourself and went round the outside onto a laminating pocket with a sharpie. Then we mixed the colours and started to paint. Then we put a piece of card in the middle and we got a beautiful self portrait.

I enjoyed mixing colours and painting my self portrait.
I found it challenging to not let the paint smudge

What is service?

 Kia ora,

What is service?
Service is helping someone who needs a hand or it can be something as simple as giving a smile to make someone's day. Service is a little thing that can make a big difference.
To show you what you can do to show service I have made a poster on canva. My poster includes bright colours, fun pictures and five things that you can do.
I enjoyed creating a poster because I like using canva because there are so many cool colours and themes you can choose from.

The Kowhai tree

Kia ora,


This week we have been learning about rongoa, the healing power of plants.
Ronga is passed down orally from one generation to another.

The kowhai tree was a real treasure to the maori because of its special healing powers.
So to showcase my knowledge about the kowhai tree I have created a sign to tell you all about this special tree.

I enjoyed designing my slide and I especially enjoyed painting my sign.
Next time I would change the colour theme of my slide to make it look different.
