This week we had to plan a tour around NZ with a maximum of four places. Here's mine!

Super Swimming Sports!

Today everyone at HNI went to the swimming sports! ( GO SHEPPARD! ) There were competitive races for some strong swimmers but there were also lots of fun activities for everyone!

I had a lot of fun showing house pride in red! It was an awesome day!

Learners Licenses!

Last week we started our learners licenses. There are 3 different stages, Novice ( red ), Apprentice ( orange ), Qualified (Green).

I'm in Qualified because I think that I am pretty responsible and handel learning quite well. I think that I can work really well with others and that I can help people a lot.
This is what are the requirements for Qualified;

-Can be inside or outside for learning without asking the teacher.
-Can adapt learning tasks to best suit the way you learn best.
-Is an expert/active learner who uses their skills to teach other people.

Now Presenting... The Amazing GIRLS Sheppard House Chant!

Cross-Hatching self Portraits, look amazing!

We used an art technique called cross-hatching to create our self portrait this year. This technique creates more of a 3d effect which is what we were wanting rather than just colouring ourselves in. Miss O'B had an A3 black and white photo of us. First we had to colour our pupil, iris and cornea with appropriate colours. We then used 'people crayons' which are made with skin tone colours. Using the two closest colours to our skin tone, we cross hatched our face starting at our forehead and moving down to our neck. The hardest part was our nose.  We then coloured our hair, completed our school uniform and blocked out the background in a vibrant pastel colour so our faces stood out. So what do you think of my self portrait?

I know my portrait isn't the best in the class but I still think it's cool... even though I can smile properly 😆😆😆

Getting to know ME better!

Last week we made slides about us and our families and friends, I think mine is pretty good and hope you like it too... Here it is!

What Are Room 10's Super Powers?

This week we were challenged to think about how we could be a helpful citizen in Room 10 and what super powers we could use?

 If we are going to have a fantastic year, it is crucial we help each other out in times of need, when asked and by using our initiative.

 Here is a photo of our faces transformed into Super Hero's and a speech bubble with our thinking.

 

 On the speech bubble we have identified one super power we are already good at using and another one we want to get better at using. My super powers are to turn peoples frowns into smiles and to help people be the best they can be. 

I hope that I can make an awesome impact in room 10 and that we can have an awesome year!
