Amazing Art

 For Manaiakalani this week we were looking at a blog about art. We got given some art to choose from and then we had to change the colour of it. I don't know the name of the original art but the first is the original and the second is mine. I know my one is not very good but I was playing around with the colours and I made my one blue and tried to make it look like someone from Avatar. Don't forget to comment so that I can improve and I hope you like it.

Super Sharp

 In literacy, we do sharp reading. During sharp, we train our brains to think accurately while reading. First we have to read the first paragraph in our heads and then we read the first sentence with our group. After that whoever is taking us will choose someone to unpack the sentence. Unpacking the sentence is basically explaining in our own words what we think the sentence means. After we have finished we have to do one on the deep four about the sentence. The deep four are I think this means, I know this because, I wonder why and I have a picture. 

After the session of Sharp we often have to do a follow up task. This time we had to answer some questions about the piece of writing that we did our sharp on. The first one was about a man who's pet magpie died and he needed to find another one. The second one was about an old man on a quest to find a life saving object... His false teeth!
