And that was the fun eventful Olympics.

Clay Sculpture Reflection

1. The sculpture I am creating is a koru. To represent the Maori culture.

2.The title of my sculpture is called the koru of life.

3. I have enjoyed getting my hands messy in the clay and and making my sculpture.

4. The hardest part for me was trying to make the koru to stand up free standing and stop it from cracking.

Flox

We have been studying about a New Zealand artist named Flox. Flox's real name is Hayley Kingston.  We have been studying flox because she came to Hamilton to do a special Spray paint mural. Flox's  main paintings are about nature and birds.

Team building at karapiro

1.On Tuesday we went to our EOTC trip as in our Karapiro trip. You are probably wondering what EOTC means it means education outside the classroom we went to Karapiro because we we're learning to Kayak and build a raft but we mostly went there to have fun.

2. The activity I liked the most was archery because I got 1 bullseye and 3 shots so close to bullseye. I felt proud of myself when I got a bullseye.

3. The most challenging activity for me was kayaking because I had to use lots of strength.

4.The person who helped me was the person who was teaching us how to ride kayaks and I said this is hard but he said "no you can do it just use your strength".

5.I learnt that when you try hard you get good achievements and when you collaborate you get same achievements.

Assembly Reflections

Our assembly was last week on Friday there were parents and children and younger siblings at our assembly. At our assembly we shared our falling art work and our selfie writing we also had a dance and we had two skits about collaboration. My favourite thing about the assembly was the dance and sharing my art work because I thought it was a fun thing to do I would change our selfie writing for another song.

EOY Reflection

My time at Vardon has been very appreciated because I have made lots of friends and I had lots of teachers to have i went from junior to middle to senior. My favourite thing is athletics because I am really good at high jump. The most challenging part of this year is coming in to Rm14.
