It tastes like freshly baked cake

My Passion Blog Term 3 Week 10

This week Mrs Miller said that we can do our own choice passion blog and I was really excited about this to share what my passion is. Well my passion actually is quite girly - I have got two passions. 
Number one is making hairstyles and number two is doing nail art. But I actually like making hairstyles more so I will give you step by steps how to do a fishtail braid, this is my favorite hairstyle to do in the summer time.

1. Number one is to put your hair into a high ponytail.
2. Then put your hair into two sections.
3. Now get the right piece and cross it over the left section.
4. Then get the left piece and and cross it over the right section.
5. Then get the right piece again and cross it over the left section. 
6. Then get the left section and cross it over the right section.
7. Keep on doing it when you want to stop and put your hair tie on.
8. Its a really easy hairstyle but it looks really difficult. 

So now your fishtail braid is done,thanks if you comment:) 

Term 3 Week 7 Art Trail

Last week, Kauri Hub, which is my hub, went to an Art Trail. Also, a fun bonus thing we got to do was that we got to go to the Art Gallery. 
In my group there was, Henrietta's mum, Henrietta, Briar and Lake. We were in Mr Kenny's group. First, we had to do the Art trail, then when we were finished we would go to the art gallery. I think it was good that we got to do the art trail first and then go to the art gallery because we would be tired walking around town, by going to the art gallery second, we could rest. 
First, our question was to  name all the birds on the wall by the court house. I can't remember all of them but I can remember the first one which was name all the birds. Then, when we finished the art trail it was time to go to the art gallery. When we were in the art gallery this lady came and told us the rules. My favorite thing in the art gallery was the hands beat, what you had to do was there was this box thing and you have to move your hands and it will make a beat. After we looked at all the things we went back to school. I had a great day.

Here is a picture of my group!!

Week 7 Term 3 Driftwood Art

Driftwood Art

This is what my word looks like

My class, Room12 did some driftwood art for the art exhibition. We were inspired by Jack Marsden Mayer. He makes animal art out of driftwood. So we made our own driftwood names. The day we were going to do it Mrs Miller said that you needed to think of a name for your driftwood art. Mine was Livy so I collected all the driftwood that I needed. So then I sat down and started to make my name. But It didn't turn out right so I thought of sky.I found this super cool S and Y already made. The S was made out of bamboo tree. The Y was just normal driftwood. For the K I just had to find 3 pieces of driftwood, one long and two short ones. Once I had made my word I showed Mrs Miller and she took a photo of it. Then it was time to glue my word together. Then a few day's later we had to tie a string onto our driftwood.


Jack Mardsen Mayer

His name is Jack Mardsen Mayer, he's from Manchester, England but he lives in New Zealand. He attended Gordonstoun International School where he studied sculpture. He has been working with driftwood since he arrived in New Zealand 2008!

My Trip To Auckland!!!

  

The Start

Yay, I yelled we are going to Auckland. Last Thursday and Friday I went to Auckland for an important thing. I was kind of sad because Room 12 had an assembly item to do and I wanted to do it to. We went to Auckland to see our guru that we believe in, he is a god to us. He has special words and he gives them to people, he gave them to my mum and dad. My mum and dad are not allowed to eat meat and they are not allowed to swear. They have to say those words when they go to sleep or when they wake up. You have to be 25 or over to get those special words. I can't tell you more because its private.

The Morning

We had to wake up at 6:00 clock in the morning, I had washed my hair the night before so I just had to have a shower and it did not take me long. So when everybody was ready we locked the house and we set off to Auckland. I was so sleepy that I just slept in the car, when I woke up we were in Taupo. The trip was really tiring when we finally reached Auckland.

The Hotel

I was excited to see the hotel, we were in a 2 story house, I have actually never seen a 2 story hotel so it was from the living room and then you we went upstairs, there were 3 doors. In the middle door is the shower, the left door is the kitchen and the right door was of course the bedroom.

The day

Finally it was the day to go meet our guru, I was full of excitement and as well nervous.  I had to sit in the child's room, my sister and brother were allowed to go where all the adults sit.  I sat with one of our family friends she could not go in because had to take care of her baby so mum told me to stay with her. Finally our guru came, he gave us his blessings, it was really good, we got to ask him questions, I did not because I was shy.

Coming back to Hastings

On Sunday morning we had to pack up and leave because we were coming back to Hastings. We shopped on Friday and Saturday. I had a fun week in Auckland.
