Term 4 Fabulous Finish

This is my Term 4 Fabulous Finish that I did. I did Coach Brody. In the background, I did his name and two taxis. I did the taxis because Coach is also a taxi driver. I did Coach Brody's name in the background but I only did Coach because I didn't have enough room to fit it in. For the sky, I tried to blend the two blues and the same with the grass. On Coach, I made his hands flap and drew a medal because he won a medal but his Dad took it from him. On his hat, I wrote what his dream was to be. His dream was to run in the Olympics. With the clipboard that he is holding, I made it flap and under it, I wrote what street he grew up on. The hardest part was drawing coach and coloring him. I made one mistake with him but you can't really see it because it is small. I drew hair on him but I wasn't meant to because he has no hair except for his eyebrows. The easiest was drawing Coach's name.

Bush Survival

Knot number 3 Reef Knot

For the past weeks, we have been doing a Whetu survival challenge. This week the Knowledge Seekers have been learning how to tye different knots. We have also been mastering them and then knowing what they're really good for. I did the Reef knot. A Reef knot is used to secure a sling in first aid because it sits flat and easy to adjust and unite. When double slipped, it is the knot that most of us use to tie shoe lacers. I rate this a 2/5 because it gets really easy when you get it.

Week 5 CC Creation Station

This is my Week 5 Term 4 Chapter Chat that I worked on by myself. I did a Creation Station. I had to draw Ghost in his blue defender's uniform. This term we are reading a new book called Ghost. The main character is Castle Cranshaw, his nickname is Ghost. His favorite sport is basketball. Ghost is a really fast runner but he is not that interested in running himself. There is a running team for the town that he lives in and it is called the defenders running group. The coach of that team is Brody Otis. He has two jobs. One of the jobs he has is coaching the defenders running group, the other job he has is a Cab driver. We finished the book this week and I would rate it a 7/10. The hardest part was drawing Ghost and the easiest part was coloring in everything.

Knot number 2 Alpine Butterfly

For the past weeks, we have been doing a Whetu survival challenge. This week the Knowledge Seekers have been learning how to tye different knots. We have also been mastering them and then knowing what they're really good for. I rate this knot a 2/5 because it got really easy for me.

Knot number 1 Figure 8

 For the past weeks, we have been doing a Whetu survival challenge. This week the Knowledge Seekers have been learning how to tye different knots. We have also been mastering them and then knowing what they're really good for. I did the Figure 8 knot. The figure 8 knot is strong and good for mountain climbing. I would rate the difficulty 1/5 because when you know you to do it properly you can do it with your eyes shut. I gave it a 1/5 because I practiced and practiced, then I eventually I got it.

Tent Building

I wasn't here when my troop put up the tent but they told me what they did good and what they could have done better.

One thing we could have done better was talking to each other and where to put the poles.

One thing we did well was knowing what the things are and where they go.

Something that I learned was that if you don't put in the right poles in the right place your tent won't go up.

Chapter Chat A Way With Words

This is my week 4 term 4  Chapter Chat that I work on by my self. I did a Way With Words. I had to do an acrostic poem for Ghost. This term we are reading a new book called Ghost. The main character is Castle Cranshaw, his nickname is Ghost. His favorite sport is basketball. Ghost is a really fast runner but he is not that interested in running himself. There is a running team for the town that he lives in and it is called the defenders running group. The coach of that team is Brody Otis. He has two jobs. One of the jobs he has is coaching the defenders running group, the other job he has is a Cab driver. The hardest part was thinking of sentences for the letters. The easiest part was writing Ghost.

Whetu Survivor Challenge =['Shelter

The best place to build a shelter depends on the surroundings. If you are in a place with poisonous bugs or snakes you would want to get to high ground and try to make sure nothing can get in but you can still get out.

The materials you will need to make a shelter are a tarp, rope, and some of the things that are around you like sticks, leaves, soft ground and lost of leaves for covering your shelter for extra protection from the rain.

Some cons of having a bush shelter are that if you haven't got enough protection and it rains you could get really wet. A pro for having  a bush shelter is that it can protect you from wild animals
