The Last Day Of School!

Today is the last day in room 20 and for the year 6's their last day at Parkvale School!
I am so sad to leave this wonderful school!
It is so sad to be leaving all of the wonderful teachers.
I loved being at Parkvale School and I wish that it went up to High School!
I am going to miss being in a digi class!
I am going to love being at Hastings Intermediate but I will never forget Parkvale!

In 2012 I have achieved lots of new and cool things! Parkvale School gives you lots of new and amazing achievements!

Kitty Cat Art!

Flower the Kitty cat:)

Paul Klee originally created this cat! Mr.M was inspired by it and chose to do it as a class art. It is really cool and I hope that you can try the easy steps and create an awesome kitty cat like mine!

Road Rules For Bikes:

• If there's a bike path then you can ride their or on the road. Where there is no cycle path you must ride on the road and keep as far left as possible to be safe.
• You should only be on the footpath if you are under 10 and without an adult or delivering mail.
• You may ride in the bus lanes but if there's a sign forbidding this then do not.
• If you are riding with other cyclists then don’t ride more the two abreast. But if near vehicles and other riders be in single file.
• Strong, bold and clear arm signals to stop, turn or reduce speed.
• You must wear and helmet that fits correctly.
• Follow the same road rules as a vehicle at intersections.

How to be able to fly?

Did you ever want to be able to fly? 

Well you now can, if you follow these steps to make a "Magic Potion!" Just try it and then you will "Be away flying with the fairies."

You will need:

• 13 Pink rose petals

• 3 Sprays of Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck Perfume

• 3 Bird feathers

• 2 Sprinkles of sugar ( I recommend 2 sprinkles or it will all go wrong )

• 1 Piece of bread

• 3 cups of melted chocolate

• 5 hairs from your Best Friend

• One bird beak ( Preferably not a native bird )

• 3 Boysenberries

• One cup of Coca Cola

• A Firkin ( Another word for a Cauldron )

• 2 cups of boiling hot water

• 10 Baby bottles with the soft and squishy lids

Side Effects:

• Not be able to get down from flying
• Feel like bouncing around the place
• You might get sun burnt all over
• You might start chirping like a bird
• Birds could be attracted to you

Steps:

1. First you need to collect your list of what you will need

2. Dump all of your ingredients in your Firkin (except for the Baby Bottles and the Hot Water)

3. Pour in the hot water and mix it all up until it is smooth and runny.

4. Now pour it equally into the 10 baby bottles.

5. Put the 10 bottles into the fridge for 24 hours.

6. Once the 24 hours are up you may now get them out of the fridge.

7. Now they have to be put in the microwave for 13 seconds ( Just for a little bit of warmth to make it better )

8. You now can have one bottle to sip on for as long as you like

9. Once you have drank one bottle, you then will feel a tingle and then a KAPPOW!

10. What just happened, means that it has worked correctly

11. Now you should be able to fly, if you can’t then you might need to restart or re-trace your steps to see where you went wrong.

12. Now you may enjoy your time to be able to fly

Extra things that you might like to know about the potion:

• Use one bottle at a time for the full excitement of being able to fly
• One bottle will last 1 month
• Say ‘uppy’ to go up and fly for as long as you like and say ‘downy ‘to go down and be able to walk like a normal human being

I am Poem And Art!

listen to ‘I Am Poem, By Floss’ on Audioboo

I am Sporty, Funny, Friendly, Smart. I am in love with animals. I am a young leader, dancer, gymnast and an artist. I am a daughter. I AM ME AND THATS WHO I'LL BE!

It is that time of year once again. When we have to start doing our calender art for 2013. In room 20 we are doing are type of art where you can choose any colours that you would like to choose. Get an A4 piece of paper and draw some wavy lines that can go off the page for a good effect. Then you get your colours and paint the wavy lines in a pattern or just in your own way. Then once it has dried you have to get a black sharpie pen and outline the wavy bits so then it stands out much better. Now you have to use that black sharpie pen to write down a poem that is describing stuff about you and what you like. As you can see above is my poem. Also below is my art that I will be doing for my calender art for 2012's calender.
If you would like you can try this, it is lots of fun and is very enjoyable!

Tree Of PRIDE

If you want to try and draw a Tree of life here is a picture with all of the steps to draw it!

Please scan me if you can and find out what it says!

QR VOICE

Here is the original Tree Of Life by Klimt! 

Here is my Tree Of PRIDE

Here is my Tree of life, but Mr.M said to call it the Tree of PRIDE. All of my symbols represent what I find enjoyable and what I like in my life. The first Tree of life was made my a guy called Klimt. It was a great design and it has inspired many people like Room 20. I have animal symbols which represents that I like animals. The picture of New Zealand represents that I like New Zealand. The maths symbols represent that I LOVE maths. All of my symbols are a great and enjoyable part of my life.

Reflection On Optimist Yachting

Reflection For Optimist Yachting!
·Something I was pleased with was making Hannah and Courtney laugh while yachting, because it was there first time so it made us all more confident.
                            
 

· I really enjoyed learning how to control an optimist yacht when the wind is blowing at a reasonable speed, because last year we didn’t have as much wind as this year.  

· Something I found hard was fighting the wind when we were kayaking, because it was very windy and I got stuck on a rock twice going under the bridge.

· Something that made me think was are the year 5’s enjoying their first time going optimist yachting, because it seemed to me that they were enjoying it, but were they?

                 

· Something I want to get better at is control the kayak more when it is windy, so I don’t bash into anything or get stuck in the current.

          What can I do about it?  I can paddle harder so that there would be more power to keep the kayak on track.

Here is Brody in his kayak and me in the background on mine.
