Wahine by Robyn Kahukiwa

In extension we were learning about New Zealand Artists. One painting we looked at is called Wahine. This was drawn by Robyn Kahukiwa. We had to copy the painting and make a movie out of it. I hope you like it!

Handball

At extension we chose one of the Olympic Sports. Some of us created a movie.

There is also a goalkeeper and only the goalkeeper is allowed in the goal area in front of each goal. Sometimes other players can jump into this area when attempting to shoot at goal but then they must release the ball before landing.


There are twelve teams in both the men’s and women’s competitions.
14 athletes- There are seven players and seven substitutes on each team.

Paper Cup Experiment

At Extension today we had a task to make a paper cup. We followed the instructions step by step. This experiment is sort of like origami.  At first I didn't really understand the instructions but then it was quite easy. If I had to say what I was like making it I would probably say it was a little bit hard until I passed the 2nd or 3rd step. After that it was easy peasy! 


To make this all you need is a pice of paper which is shaped as a square and some water. If you don't have a square paper. Fold a rectangle's top corner down to meet the edge. Then cut the remaining. 


We watched a little bit of a video on TED Talks. He explained what origami is. There we saw some very complicated pieces of art. 


We did this for some fun and to see if it works. Watch this video to learn how to do it and see if it works! 

ROW Poetry

The year after ROW started, (2009) some of our students got to conference with Will Smith himself! This was all set up by a lady called Carol Anne McGuire.

Rock Our World is a global project which has over 30 schools from around the world participate.  2008 was when the ROW (Rock Our World) first started. Each year there is a different topic and this year our focus is on poems.

As part of ROW the extension class have been practicing with different topics. Our first practice one was about chocolate. Our one we had to post on our blog was about Mrs Tele'a. Here is what I created. Also thanks Mrs Tele'a for being a great model!

A haiku is a japanese poem. To create a haiku you need to have 5 syllables in the first sentence, 7 in the second and 5 in the 3rd and final sentence.
