these are my goals for this year

First day back at school

Yesterday was the first day back at school!. And this year I am a year 8 at Pt England school.

The first activity that was a bit like a ice breaker. Then we moved onto art and we drew a portrait of our self. And in the background we drew our hobbies,culture, family and something that you choose.

Killer whales/Orca whales

Killer Whales also referred to as Orca Whales. These sea creatures are in the O. orca species and are seen all around the world even in Antarctica and Greenland. Killer Whales are mostly black with white patches in different places on the body.

Killer Whales hunt in groups like wolf packs. But when the mother has calves she teaches them how to hunt pray like Seals,Sea lions,other whales,birds and Penguins.

Killer Whales also migrate just like other whales. Luckily Orcas are far from extinction.        

Te Tuhi

Today we went on a trip to Te Tuhi in Pakuranga we went there because it is our term 4 inquiry for art attack.

We also made one of our own Tapa using Dye, Paper and Oil pastel. The four main things that we had to include were Family, Culture, Interests and Home.

Once we were Finished we had a look around the Gallery and learnt about water and dams. And it was great.

Guitars

A guitar is a musical instrument that makes musical sounds from six strings. Many music artists use guitars for their songs. There are lots of ways people use guitars.

There are a lot of parts to the guitar that makes it sound better. Tuning keys would be the most annoying part to the guitar. It gets really annoying when people untune the guitar strings. But then again, tuning keys are simply made for tuning the strings to the right sound.

The neck of the guitar holds lines of frets which helps you form guitar chords. The body of an acoustic guitar is the part that keeps the guitar

together. An acoustic guitar is different to a classical guitar because the strings are a different and are sometimes made of steel.  

When the string is plucked or strummed the strings vibrate and make a sound. That then goes into the hole in the sound board that echoes and amplifies the sound from the strings. And that's how the sound is created by the guitar.

Minecraft

Minecraft is a 3D pixelated computer and a X-Box game. The game Minecraft got it’s name from, well... mining and crafting you can make new world’s by doing single player( by yourself ) and you have a choice before you make the world by doing creative mode or survival mode.
