SLJ (Week 1, Day 1 Act.1) The Legend of New Zealand

The Legend of.... New Zealand!
For the first activity we have to find our own top 3 
fact about our country NZ But.... We have to write
them in our own words. Here's my finished facts!

1. Us New Zealanders are called Kiwi's! (Not as in the Kiwi Fruit) It's actually our native flightless bird the one and only Kiwi. 

2. In New Zealand we have a little west coast which has one of the worst bars (Were the boats come in) in NZ it is known for its famous ship wrecks in little old Grey Mouth here a look. (It's actually a known fact well by Grey Mouth at least I had to put a local one on there)

3. Last but not least Pavlova the war against us Kiwi's and the Aussies but from a quick google search I was informed that the Pavlova was indeed created by us! Go NZ! (Sorry Australia)

Tye Dye T-Shirts Term 3 WK8

Tye Dye T-shirts

This week we have the Grey Main art soiree. Each person has to make a piece of art, my class did Tye dye T-shirts. Our teacher got us t-shirts and the dye. First we watched videos

on patterns and figured out what we wanted and then started 

with our dye. First we made our pattern and to secure it we used rubber bands and started with our dye. After we did that 

we put them in plastic bags to set for 8-12 hours and. VOLIA! Tye dye.What do you think? I think mine turned out pretty cool. But to be honest I found it difficult.
