*+*NZ history*+*

Today we learned about New Zealand history.  We learned about the Treaty of Waitangi and who signed  it and we learned  about the first world war and how it effected the people at home.We also learned about the England missionary  and how Maori was an oral language. We learnt about Nancy  Wake  who was a New Zealander who fought against Hitler in World War 2. She was a agent too. Here are some facts that some of the class did, to find out more you can go to NZ historyonline.

 

CLAY ART!!!!

 Today we are learning how to make clay art! :D based  on items that are native to New Zealand. so we drew a sketch of the NZ item we wanted to make. I did a tiki . then our teacher brought dry air clay and then we started....first I took little bits and shaped them into the parts of the face (eyes,mouth, and other face parts) then I made arms then started shaping the body.then i put the head on very tight and secure. smooth the sides out to and make sure that it is not to thin.  then I put the face parts on securely. smooth the face a little but not to much that it doesn't stick out. and wait for it to dry...
