All about me

  

Hobby   Lego is a fun building experience that people like to create cities with because without it, mega bloks would rule the world and make everyone miserable. Luckily, Lego gives you an opportunity to collect and explore! (P.S. they have a theme park called Legoland in california!!!). Minifigures come in every Lego city set and have awesome builds and details. There are many themes to list like Star Wars, Technic, Creator and many, many more.

Best Memory                 My favourite memory is when Me and my Bff (Shoutout to Con) went to splash planet. The Bombs we managed to rip was pretty BAD. But forget about that because we're not here read about the baddest bombs of 2017, aren't we? We are here to talk about my Special day out at Splash Planet! It was the best because we had hot chips (Shout out to Nana:)) and burgers and there only 3 of us!!!

Fun Fact A fun fact about me is that I have 1 cat and a Kitten. And plus, there’s A fluffy  cat that my mum calls Mr Longbottom. My two cats Bob and Jerry are Literally Psychopaths! They claw mums chair and run around the house like wild boars! Your lucky you don't live with me. Those cats like to catch birds, and guess what? Jerry, she kills birds and brings them into mums room and goes and walk away with the bird on the carpet. lucky i'm not mum:)

What Makes Me Laugh: What makes me laugh is when Bobbie and Jerry play tag and slide into things on that shiny, glistening lino floor. (The rules that I made up are: Free for all and you can go Anywhere on the property apart from my room, if you start eating your paused until you stop, do not even look at me while your playing and the last rule is very important: there are two modes: Hardcore or easy. If you chose hardcore you have to play outside otherwise you can play anywhere you want). Oh and it kills me with laughter when they dig holes and do a bomb.

Design the next New Zealand Uniform

Introduction:

Our project was to design the next New Zealand Uniform for the 2024 Olympics.

We could either buy a t-shirt or make make one yourself.

---

Our Questions:         

WALT write open ended questions and full answers

1. What uniform did nz wear at the first ever Olympics?

In London 1908 our first Olympic team wore uniforms that look like they were made from scratch. NZ teamed up with Australia to make a team called Australasia. As seen in the photo their uniform is just a cap, shorts and t-shirt   

2.    Who designs the New Zealand olympic uniforms?

The olympic uniforms were designed by many different people, Shane Hansen designed the New Zealand Olympic uniforms with peak. Some designers just kept the design basic. That got some people thinking different negative things.

3.    Why do they have to wear olympic uniforms?

To represent our country in the Olympic games. The uniform represents New Zealand's bright night sky and our wide open spaces and our big fields. The athletes feel proud to represent their country.

4.   How do they make the olympic uniforms?

The designers would get together to plan a new design for the olympic uniform. They then produced more than 21,000 items of clothing. Once the uniform was made all the athletes received 45 items of clothing each. Some of these items were shorts, leggings and shirts.

5.   What did people think of the New Zealand uniform?

The uniform was released on a wednesday night and already the judging was that it was a bit rubbish. A designer called Steven Dunstan thought that the designs were a bit basic and they didn’t represent our country that much.

                              Group Q&A

• What is the history of NZ’s olympic uniforms?

Countries: Antwerp 1920,Berlin 1936,London 2012.  

1.In Antwerp We had it with our uniform basicly made from spare material like scrap cotton wool & fabric to make up this batch of shirts.

2. We looked pretty sharp except for a couple of too-short ties and short top hats to look kind of like a happy black and white office man.

3.We weren't a million miles away from the 1936 look but the blazers look sharp on these NZ uniforms.

            How to make the designs

You will need:

A4 Paper

Material or a t-shirt itself

Vivid or t-shirt marker

A buddy or just yourself

Plastic bag

• Plan

   First you Plan your design onto an A4 piece of paper so you will know what to do when you make the designs for the t-shirt

• Next you have to buy the t-shirt or make your own out of fabric and patterns.

• Then you grab your plan and start drawing on the shirt with Super vivid (Or any vivid).

• While drawing place a plastic bag or your plan in the middle, I would place the plan so you could trace it to be the exact

• If what you wanted to draw what wasn't part of the plan then, put a plastic bag inside the t-shirt then draw.
• There you go! You now have your very own designs on you t-shirt.

Reflection:

Jaedyon:I chose to make a NZ Olympic uniform because I wanted to help make a uniform for our team in 2024. I was happy with how it turned out in the end but it was hard to co-operate with Seamus sometimes.

Seamus: It was fun making the t-shirt with Jaedyon. C. BUT when we went to trace the designs it went through to the other side.

We worked just O.K at the start but we finally we

started getting along more. That helped us to finish the t-shirt.

Look down to see our finished t-shirt:

Building Learning Power - Reflecting on    Blind Throw - P.E

What went well? Why? How?

My group did well because we gave feedback to eachother and encoureged our teamates to get the beanbag straight and throw ether backwards or fowards to land in one of the hoops.

How did it feel as a Learner when playing Blind Throw?

It felt good to learn from someone else that was a teacher but it was a little hard to throw the beanbag into a hoop.

One thing I could improve on is …..

Giving more understanding comments to my teammate about throwing the beanbag straight like a Paralympic.

ART 2016

(Photo Of Art)

This art represents my side of the family (Mum, Nan, Step Granddad, Uncle, Maiya, Cousins and Aunty) by using Koru (like big Koru for the adults and small ones for kids.)
I did the back ground so it had grey every odd line and different colors to add some brightness to the art.

                  Quick reflection:

What I’m Most Proud Off: My korus that represent my family like the big black one with the end at the top.

What I Could Improve On: Not smudging it to much with different coulors like black smudged into red or yellow into red (That is not a good mix).
