Poetic Art - Hurumanu 4

For the past week we have been doing learning stories. What is a learning story? A learning story is a thing you do at school to reflect on your learning and so the teachers know that you have actually learnt something and not just sit there and pretend. We have been doing stuff about The Creation Of Tuna and The Taniwha And The Rakaia Gorge. We did a collage, diamante poem, haiku, watercolour and tapa cloth. We did the collage, watercolour and diamante poem/art about The Taniwha And The Rakaia Gorge. Please tell Me if there is something I could work on. Here is my learning story.

Paper Boy - Chapter 13-17

Yesterday I read chapter 13-17 from Paper Boy. The task to do is write a letter to the author. Include two thoughtful questions you could ask him. The author is named Vince Vawter. Here are the questions and letter. 

Dear Vince Vawter,

How are you?

I loved the book you made called Paper Boy. I thought it was amazing and it really cool to read. I loved how you made it about your father and its a real story not a fake one. I have some questions for you here they are.

1. Why did you make the book about your father and not about you or your other family members?
2. Was your father around to tell you about his childhood when you were making the book?
3. Why did you add Mr Spiro into the story?
4. Was Mam  Little Mans sister or is she just are caregiver?
5. How long did it take you to make Paper Boy?

Poetic Arts

This past term we have been doing Poetic Arts and we have done lots of different type of art. The type of art and poems we had done are, haiku, diamante, weaving, tapa, collage and watercolour. My favourite part of art was when we did watercolour and weaving the most. My favourite part of the Art display is the poems and weaving because the poems were really nice and got good wow words, the weaving was really cool and it was easy and very pretty.  The haiku was really challenging because I didn't know what to write it about and what wow words to put on it. My favourite style of poetry to write in this hurumanu was diamante poem. I thought this hurumanu was really cool because it was different from the rest of them. here is my Art display.
