Perfect Police 105 Poster!

Hey, readers!

If you didn't see my last blog post about my SPCA poster you should check that out,  I decided to create another poster but this time it is about Police 105. If you are not sure what Police 105 is it a number that you call when it's not an emergency. Here is my poster!

We had to make it colourful so that if you saw it out on the streets it would stand out, I used reds and blues because that's the basic police colours.

Have you heard about Police 105?

Until next time!

Spectacular Spca Poster!

Hey, readers!

In inquiry, we had to create a poster about one of the many organisation we looked at. Me and my friend Daisy (Go check out her blog) chose to look at the SPCA. We had to use bright colours and large fonts, to make it stand out. 

If you don´t know the SPCA rescue all types of animals that were abused or can not be looked after anymore. We included information and their phone number so that anybody that sees our poster can contact them in case they know of an animal in danger. Here is our poster.



Have you ever adopt an animal?

Dazzling Data

Hello readers!!

This week in Gilstrom numeracy we have been making questions and data-based around a sport. I chose netball and I'm focusing on the finance side of things.

I have never played netball, so it was hard to find a focus, that wasn't to do with the actual sport.
Here is my spreadsheet with my questions.

You can see that it more finance and not to do with the actual sport. Have you ever played netball?

See you next time!!

What does waste mean to me?

Hello readers,  
In Gilstrom literacy, we had to write what waste means to us and describe it in 3 short paragraphs.  

What does waste mean to me, waste means many things, such as waste of time, money, abilities, substances. To you, waste could be one or more of those many different things, but to me, it means a waste of substances.

Cambridge dictionary defines Waste as the  "unnecessary or wrong use of money, substances, time, energy, abilities, etc"  Waste to me means, used or worthless materials going to landfill and creating pollution when it could be used for another purpose such as milk bottles been thrown away when it could be used as a simple cheap watering can. 

In conclusion, waste can mean many different things to everybody. I believe we should start to make a change on how much waste goes to landfills when it could be used for other purposes.     

What does waste mean to you??

Personality Portrait

Kia ora readers!

At the start of this term, we had to make a portrait showing our interest and culture. We based our portraits of Romero Britto portraits his work is a bit abstract and cartoonish, here is some of his work.

As you can see they are a bit abstract. Now here is my drawing, I tried to use bright colours to make my portrait stand out.

It has some of my culture, like the New Zealand flag and some ferns to symbolise my culture, and has my interest such as watching Netflix hanging out with my family, gardening and doing art. 

Have you done any art this year?

See you next time!
