Passion projects part 2



This is a photo of my finished passion project.



. Under the big shark are a few little fish.in the top right is a smaller shark and in the corner is some rocks,sea weed and a angle fish. It took me a 5 weeks to draw a plan and make a finished copy because in the plan I changed a lot of things such as the size of the shark and adding the small shark and not as many fish in the background.Also the tuna and I moved the rock to the other corner and didn't add the crab.



This is my draft/plan.If you can see the faded line around the shark that is the actual size of my shark in the good copy.

Please leave in the comments what shark do you think is better out of the two big ones and the small one in the good copy.I hope you enjoyed this blog post.Make sure to leave a nice comment and I will reply to you.

Tall tale


The future zoo


Ring! Ring! “Bro come to the zoo for my birthday and make sure you bring a presant and were shorts ok Cam”.”Got it”.”Mum mum can I go to Amos’s birthday party at the zoo?”.”Sure Cameron”.”But first we need to get him a present”.We got him the new real madrid football suite.
Vroom vroom we hoped in the car and started the engine.”Lets go” I say. Finally we arrived. We hopped out of the car and we paid to go in.


Mum and I just walked around and tried to find Amos. About 2 minutes later then we found him and he was with Oscar, Brayden and Rory. So I said “happy birthday mate”.Any way we had a look around and came across a dabasouruas. It was a dinosaur that dabed. I enjoyed  looking at all the weird things, we even saw a zombie and unicorn joined to make a zombicorn. It wasn't like any old zoo with tigers. There tigers had a shark head with an elephant body.Some of the things were crazy but frightening. My favorite thing was probably the octopus goat.


He opened his presents and he got a real madrid football suite, a football, a bag of lollies with $50 bucks, and a ipad.
“Amos did you like your presents?” said his mum.”Yes” he replied. “although the bag of lollies could have been massive”.”But I still love my prezzies, thanks guys”. “Its ok bro”.After the prezzies we had a massive ice cream cake.”Thanks for the cake” I said. “Sweet as” said Amos’s dad. Out of nowhere our parents come to pick us up.”How was it said mum.”Fun we all replied”.
“See you later guys”I say.”Bye” they replied.

Passion projects

This is my passion project. It is a shark drawing. This is my plan. When I do the actual one it will be a lot bigger than this one now. I drew this shark all by myself and shaded it in. I really enjoy doing the passion projects. We go to our groups every day of the week apart from Monday and Tuesday. I cant wait to take it home, show my parents and hang it on my pin board with all my drawings. I am also drawing a background and coloring it blue. We have 5 weeks to complete our passion projects. We are allowed to choose what ever we want. Once it is done I will do another blog about this topic. I am blogging this because I have really enjoyed doing my passion project. I hope you enjoyed this post.

My reading task




I am blogging this because I enjoyed this task and learnt lots more things about space and new things I didn't know about.
This is my reading task. It is about black holes and stars.We had to write down five questions and search them up and answer them with as much detail as possible. It was kind of challenging at parts and others were easy as. It was an interesting task and now I know much more about black holes and stars there self. I wouldn't mind doing another task like this.

Lions- No escape

WALT- form questions based on what we have read.
WALT- research our own answers


Task- Write down 5 questions that have popped up for you as you are reading.
Write them here and research the answers. Explain the answer as well as you can.

1)Who first discovered black holes:
In 1916 Albert Einstein predicted black holes with his great general knowledge and theory of relativity.

2)Are black holes flat:
Black holes are really 4 dimensional. You may see drawings of black holes that are 2 dimensional but that is because us humans haven't discovered how to draw a black hole 4 dimensional on an piece of paper yet.

3)What's inside a black hole:
We have never seen what's inside a black hole because it is too dangerous to go near and if someone goes into one and get photos we would not be able to communicate with them.

4)Can anything escape from a black hole:
Nothing that falls into a black hole can come out because of its gravity is so strong it has to travel at 300,000 kilometers and that is the speed of light and even light cannot escape from it.

5)How long do stars live for:
A star with the mass of the sun will live for about 10 billion years.But it depends on their mass.The more massive the star the faster it burns its fuel supply.

Monster measure maths task

Monster measure
IMG_0275.JPG

This is my maths task. Sorry that the picture is not the clearest but we had to do some measurements on the monster on your right. Then we had to draw our own and write some questions down for a classmate to answer. Brayden answered my questions. I was a little mean and didn't let him use a ruler so he had to estimate. I enjoyed this task. My monster is called the pizza monster. We had to use a scale as well. A scale is when 1cm = 1m or 5cm = 1m.

NCR training day

In the holidays I went to Napier City Rovers training session. We got to train with some of the Rovers players. Oscar, Amos, Rory, Jacob, Camden R and more were there. We also got to be ball boys. It was a cool experience. Here are all the players that I know so far. Ferguson, Josh, Ryan, Bill(coach) and Saul.The goal keeper had to wear a face mask for some reason. I saw Mrs Love and her husband Jono Love at the game. I would really like to do this again. Naiper City Rovers played                                                                                      Palmerston North and won 4-1.
Here is a photo of Josh. He is a police 
man and very cool.

My I Proud

My Best Learning


This is my…
Mystery object
In my hand is a small heavy object. It is very sparkly like a diamond. It has sharp pointy bits at the back.You can wear it in your hair like a headband.
There are a few holes in it, with diamonds on the sides. It smells like metal. You can wear it to a ball/dance. Princesses,girls and boys can wear them but boys, trust me don’t. Now can you guess what it is.


I am proud of this because… It was fun making the writing and I enjoyed it. I think it is a good detailed piece of writing. I went to a workshop and learnt how to choose the best vocabulary and I improved it.


My biggest challenge was...Adding detail because It was only a small object. But after a workshop I could improve it.

Leave in the comments what you think it is.
