What does christmas mean to me
What christmas means to me. Christmas is a time to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ, we give presents to each other because Christmas is about giving others gifts of joy. Every year as a tradition my family travels to auckland or hamilton each christmas, and for christmas we have croissants for Christmas. -

POP ART Composition

 Today we made our pop art, we had to use the tool "Art colouring book" it was so fun and quick we had to pretend the we were at our houses in the summer holidays so nobody was allowed to talk.

We had to watch all the videos that were on our class blog and then we started to colour.

This was the site we used Art Colouring Book:

I chose this one at the bottom because it looked really funky and kind of crazy.

It was tricky to choose a photo to colour in.

I found it easy to colour in the photo

The person who made composition was Mohamed Melehi was Born in 1936. he was an art director at the ministry of culture and cultural consultant to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and cooperation.

This was Mohamed Melehi style of the art

This is my style of his artwork

museum visit

This is the waka that I made at school. People from the museum taught us about Horouta which is the waka that Paoa and Kiwa used to travel to Aotearoa. The people from the museum were so nice when they came to our school, and they taught us all about Paoa and Kiwa and how they travelled to Aotearoa

When Paoa and Kiwa
sailed from Hawaiki (we don't know where Hawaiki is. Do you?) to Aotearoa they were using a 
hourua waka, which is a double hulled waka. They brought kumara with them and this is how kumara first came to New Zealand. They were happily sailing along when they came to a sudden stop because they crashed into a sandbar at Ohiwa and the waka broke. Paoa had to go cut down a special tree to repair it. When Kiwa was in Ohiwa she made some minor repairs and sailed past the East Cape and on to Gisborne/Turanganui-a-kiwa which is where Paoa was sailing to, sitting on the tree down Waipaoa River. They meet out at Wainui Beach where they fixed the waka.
