My Time at my Friends Birthday party

My Time at my Friend's Birthday Party

During the holidays I went to my friend's birthday party.
His name is Karam. He was turning 5. I came really early
because my Grandma and Grandpa live with them.
I also I went to see my Grandpa.
He is currently staying in a rehabilitation called Laura
Ferguson. He had a stroke while he was in a hospital
and now recovering at the Laura Ferguson Centre.
He is transitioning there to get use to start living at home.
I didn’t know that my friend was having a birthday party today.
I decided to help anyways for the party. There were small
balloons in front of the door. My Grandma and his Mum
went to get the cake. After all of us  finished setting up for
the birthday party, we just started riding our bikes outside.

*As the guests entered into the house we were playing outside.
My Grandpa’s house was almost packed  with children and
parents. There were mostly Dads downstairs chatting and
all of the children were playing outside. The mothers were
upstairs and the teenagers too. It was like all of the guests
were split up into groups. We had dinner. I was sitting on the
comfortable red chair watching YouTube in my Grandparents
room, until the birthday boys Mum came. She told me to
come eat upstairs but I was not really hungry. Anyways I
went upstairs. To my surprise I was shocked to an assortment
of food. The food was Spring rolls, salad and more. The salad
was quite sour because it had lemon juice all over it. The spring
rolls were super delicious. I liked them a lot as they had
vegetables in them. There was this spicy food but I forgot what
it was called. There were different flavours of punch. also
different kinds of punch. 

 The dinner was so delicious. There was so much food on the
table. So I grabbed my food and went back down stairs.
I was sitting on the bed and watched a movie. After I
finished eating I played games on the computer and I
played outside too. Later on I went upstairs to sing happy
birthday and eat cake. His cake was Paw Patrol themed.
It even had the logo on it. The flavour was chocolate and it
had chocolate icing. It was very delicious and it had blue
fondant on the outside.

I had so much fun at Karam’s birthday. I enjoyed the food and
cake. These foods were very yummy and bursting with lots of
flavours. I would have loved to play there again because I liked
playing with his little baby sister. I really enjoyed being at that
party.

Mintie challenge Interpretation

Interpretation

Who’s Mintie Wrapper was the longest?

Cleo’s Mintie Wrapper was the longest because she took her time and she
made it thin. Her Mintie wrapper was 90cm. Also she didn’t rip it and she
probably didn’t have those tiny tears in the wrapper.

Who had the smallest Mintie Wrapper?

Kale had the shortest Mintie Wrapper because he probably ripped it early.
He made his 7cm. He also made it thick and didn’t take his time. He is
probably new to this challenge and hasn’t done it before in maths.

Who’s Mintie Wrappers the same?

Sione and Miss Virginia had the same. They both made theirs 65cm.
They took their time to make it longer but they might have ripped it half
way through. They also might of had those tiny holes that made it ripped.

Nelson Mandela Report

Nelson Mandela Report

By Rhianne

Nelson Mandela was the president of South Africa. He has his own charity called the Nelson Mandela Children’s fund (NMCF). Nelson Mandela was famous for being the President of South Africa.

Nelson Mandela was born on July 18th 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa. His parents are Noqaphi Nosekeni and Gadla Henry Mphakanyiswa. His siblings are Nomabandla Mandela (Brother), Lieby Mandela, Constance Mandela (Sister), Baliwe Mandela (Sister), Makhutswana Mandela (Sister), Baliwe Mandela (Sister), Mhlalwa Mandela (Brother), Mabel Mandela, Bethusile Mandela (Sister) and Daligqili Mandela who is his sister. Mr Mandela went to the University of Fort Hare, the South African Native College. He then moved to the city of Johannesburg to study law at the University of Witwatersrand before he became a lawyer in 1942 aged 24. He was a nonviolent activist, politician and philanthropist who became South Africa’s first black president from 1994 - 1999. He began in 1962.

Mandela spent 27 years in prison for political offenses. For 20 years he directed a campaign of peaceful, nonviolent defiance against the South African president F.W de Klerk., were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for efforts to the countries apartheid system.

I think Nelson Mandela is the ultimate Unsung Hero because he stood up for the lives of African people and went to prison for 27 years. I deeply admire what he did for black people. If Nelson Mandela was living I would like to thank him for all the things he did. I truly believe that Nelson Mandela is an inspiration to others. Even though I would have not have  done what he did I still appreciate what he did.

My Superhero art Reflection

Enlargement Super Hero Art

1. What did you accomplish?  

I accomplished drawing the grid lines, vividing my spiderman, painting the outline/ background

2. Are you satisfied with your Super Hero enlargement? Why / Why not?

Yes because I like the colour scheme that I used for my background  and the blue I used for the pants

3.What did you find easy when you created your Super Hero enlargement?

I found doing the eyes easy and also ruling the paper down and across the paper.

4.What did you find challenging when you were creating your Super Hero enlargement?

What I found challenging was drawing spiderman because there were many gridlines to follow and his arms and legs were sort of complicated because they were connected to each other.

What do you need to work on?

I need to work on my hands because there were too straight and big.

5.What would you change with your Super Hero enlargement?

I would change the arms because I think they need to be less bumpy and another thing I would change is to not paint outside the drawing.  

6.What would you do next time to improve your super hero enlarged image?

I would like to improve on my superhero enlargement by painting inside the image instead of out and doing the lines properly
