For the final and third activity I choose one of Ururangi and its activity was to make a collage depicting the wind for this I choose to use many different colour pieces of paper the swirls are the wind and the blue is for the sky and basically its about its a really windy day and a lady was walking and wind is so strong it blows her umbrella away and in the sky is heaps of stuff from the  newspaper and leafs. I really  enjoyed  putting things in my head out on paper but it was a very messy and sticky but fun .

what do you do on a rainy day ?

On the 28th of Wednesday Whaea  Sarah gave us the choose three cards from different a Matariki star .for my second one have chosen a activity from Tupuārangi  and its activity was to  create a piece of art dedicated to the native Manu and their kai.be inspired to incorporate  leaves and feathers. I choose a Piwakawaka cause they are curious and hop around our plum tree and it makes me happy when I see the hoppy squeaking Piwakawaka. For this I used water color pencils, posca paint pens and and a vivid. I really enjoyed researching about the piwakawaka and found out that they eat invertebrates such as moths, flies, beetles and spiders.

what s your favourite native Manu ?

we went to see life education with a Harold the giraffe first I thought it was a little bit creepy first because I’ve never been to life education before because I used to live Auckland and only some schools got somethings that others didn’t such as life education. It was really interesting we talked about making choices and decisions we talked about how different influences make different choices and decisions.I actually liked it in the end.
have you ever been to life education before?
