Room 15 Jigsaw Art
Self Assessment Form


  1. I have used enlargement skills to create a jigsaw artwork with our class:
I think my piece is great and it matches the other piece that joins it.  

   2. I have used a range of pastel techniques:
I used a lot of blending and smudging and I used lots of different colors.

3. I have looked closely at the colours on the small piece and used the same colours on the enlargement:
I think I looked closely at the colors.  

4. I have blended the pastels using different colours:
I mixed a lot of blues and purples, whites and greens.
5. What I would do differently next time:
next time I would put the colours in the right places because I put black instead of blue.  

6. Other comments (what I like best and why, what I don’t like and why):
overall I think that the whole jigsaw puzzle is great.

Art
Room 15 made a Jigsaw for art. We copied a picture. But we did it with pastels. We learnt some pastel techniques like smudging and blending and we used lots of different colors together to see how they look. Then Miss Lewis printed a black and white piece and cut it up to make lots of little rectangles. We all got one piece each. Then we copied it onto an A4 piece of paper that was our draft. Once we finished our draft we got a good piece of paper and copied our draft lightly in pencil. Next we added the colour. When all the pieces were connected it looked amazing. All our hard work payed off. It takes a long time to make a beautiful piece of artwork.

Physical Education

Physical Education  
PE : Swimming
I am proud of my swimming.
Before I could not swim without the board now I can swim nicely with no board. I could not swim a whole length but now I can. I was not very confident with my swimming in the beginning and that made me slow down but with the help and teachings from my teacher, I can. As soon as I was confident I was swimming beautifully because I am now able to kick with with my toes instead of my whole legs. I know how to float on my back and my front, I can also swim through hoops without touching anything.
 

Science

In science we were looking very closely at how the food looked like and how it feels like... We used our 5 senses.

Thank You

Thank You Mt Roskill Intermediate
Thank you for inviting us to watch your play,
I really enjoyed it,
My favourite part was the start when Mavis kept interrupting the person who was introducing the show,  
It was really funny,
The light up costumes were awesome,
I remember how Wally was scared of the people wearing the costumes,
The stage looked like the Old Grand Theatre, it was beautiful.
The singing was very nice.
I loved the show it was great,

Cross Country

Cross Country


On a warm morning I was sleeping under my warm blankets.   
BEEP! BEEP!
“Morning already” I moaned
“ Mum can I sleep in 5 more minutes or can I make that 10 more minutes”    
“ No you need to wake up right now because today is cross country and you don’t want to be late for that do you?”
“ Oh right I will”
Soon I was having breakfast. I had Weetbix. It was yummy. I filled my water bottle with fresh cold water. I packed my delicious lunch that my mum made for me in my school bag.


I looked at the clock.
“ WWWHHHAAATTT! It’s 8:40 already hurry up we need to get to school”.
Everybody got in the car. We sped off. When we arrived at school I went to islamic class. After that Mrs Mellick took the roll. “ 2 lines outside please” It’s time! my heart started pounding. Boom! Boom! Boom! We sat outside under the shelter. Soon everybody was cheering and shouting. The juniors went first. I never realized that it was my turn to race. I was competing in the year 5 girls race we had to run 2 blocks out of school and 1 lap of the court. I trained hard. Bang! we ran. When I passed Miss Percy I ran faster. When I was running uphill. I passed a lot of people. I looked forward and saw Fardosa, Tina and Nejwa right in the front.

When I went around the corner I saw my mum and dad and brother cheering me on. “ GO JUMAANAH GO!” I ran even faster. I reached the finish line. I came 6th place.


I felt really proud that I participated in cross country. It was fun. I can’t wait till next year. JPEG Image

Snow White And The 7 Dwarfs Remake



29.8.14
Snow White And The Candy Apple Factory


On a hot summers afternoon Snow White opened a candy apple factory. The 7 dwarfs kindly offered if they could work in the factory.
Grumpy said “I will clean the place up with an angry attitude”.
Snow White told the rest of the dwarfs to make sweet crunchy candy apples. With a click of her fingers the 7 dwarfs got to work. Soon the place was full of noises.


“ GRINDING GRINDING, ZZZZZZZZZ!, BANG BANG BANG…”  


Outside the factory the wicked witch of the west was listening.


“ She can’t have it all she said with a cruel voice.  I should be in there munching on candy apples and I should be the queen of the candy apple factory. The dwarfs should feed me with truckloads of candy apples a day. There is only one thing standing in my way and that is the ugly Snow White. I have to get rid of her some how” she wondered.  I know just what to do
Hahahahaha”(evil laugh).


She dressed up in a beautiful dress ready to work in the candy apple factory. She knocked on the door. Knock, Knockerty,Knock knock. Snow white opened the door and saw her.
“ Hello how may I help you” Snow White said with a sweet voice.
“ I would like a job please”
“ Oh sure there’s plenty of place for you”
“ you can help doc make the candy apples”.


The wicked witch of the west came in. She made a poisonous candy apple for snow white.
“ Oh Snow White will you taste my first candy apple”.
“ Oh no you should try it because you made it” said snow white gracefully.
The Wicked Witch Of The West forgot that she put poison in it because she was so happy that snow white offered her something. She took one bite and…
Just like that she had an heart attack. Snow White was acting innocent because she knew that the Wicked Witch Of The West put poison in the apple. Snow White wanted to kill her anyway.
THE END                  

In Room 15 we had to write a story about snow white in a factory and somebody had to have a heart attack in the story. I think my story is funny.
Why  I Think You Should Come To School


Theres a girl in our class who is certain to pass,
for she’s the cleverest girl in our class,
there's a girl in our class 
who has only to look a minute or two... 
at an exercise book.
Yes! she’s certain to pass,
for she’s the cleverest girl in our class.


Now why do you think that this is the case
this girl in our class who’s always first place?
Well maybe she came to school with a positive behavior for learning, read all her books and did all her homework.


So all you children who sit at home and don’t want to come to school here’s a piece of my mind to make you change your mind about coming to school.


I strongly believe everybody should come to school everyday because…


At school, we learn to read, write and do maths and more.
Imagine if you didn't know how to read a very important sign? You’ll struggle and find it difficult. You’ll think “ oh why didn’t I go to school I would have learnt how to read!”. You do not want to think that do you? You’d  want to think “oh thank goodness I went to school I learnt how to read”.
Maths will help you work out how much change you need to get when you buy something and it will help you do other things too! Learning how to write is great because you can make the world a better place just by writing interesting stories.


Have you ever dreamt about getting a good job like an  air hostess or a doctor or even a scientist ?
If you come to school you will be able to become what you want to be when you grow up. Nelson Mandela also said “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” School will take you on a trip around the big world of knowledge. This trip will help you make your dreams come true. Just imagine if you sat at home the whole day doing absolutely nothing , you don’t want to be like that.


All those children who think school is boring, dull and uninteresting you will have less advantages than the children who come to school.
Look at it this way!
Everyone in this world have different learning abilities. Some of us learn by listening, others learn by watching, and a few might learn hands on. There are also fast learners and slow learners. But being slow doesn't mean you should be discouraged.  The child who’s interested in coming to school will have more chances in life, but those who choose that school is not for them won’t be able to help his or herself or others.


Everybody has a right to have an education so you should use that chance to make a successful life. Parents! remember that the best gift you could ever give your child in life is education. School is the basic foundation of knowledge. So come to school to have a better future.


Thank You !

My Burma Trail Poem From Camp

Burma Trail


Dark!
Scary!
Going through the forest.
Never knowing what's around the corner.
It might be a monster Screenshot 2014-04-16 at 07.20.58.png

or a big hairy bear.
Screenshot 2014-04-16 at 07.24.42.png
People in front screaming and shouting, making me scared.
Looking around, up and down, making sure no ones around.
Listening to the howling wind and creepy sounds making me want to run away.
I’m never going back in the dark again!

At Camp we had to walk though a forest in the dark following a piece of string. It was really scary.

My Story About The Storm

The Long Night Of No Sleep!


On the 11th of June 2014 a huge storm hit Auckland.


“Goodnight mum and dad” I said before I tucked myself in my stack of blankets. Soon all the lights turned off and the whole house was fast  asleep. Except me!.


The wind was as strong as a hurricane blowing the trees this way and that way. The tall tree next to my window kept on banging on my room. BANG! BANG! BANG!. While I was  tossing and turning the wind got stronger and stronger. Pushing all the tall trees more and more. As soon as I fell asleep more and more wind blew and woke me up again!. WOOOOOOO! WOOOO! WOOO!. “HHHHH!” “All I want to do is sleep!”.


I rub my eyes and open the curtain next to my bed to see what happend. “OHHH my god!” Lots of branches and leaves everywhere. I lay back in my bed. “ Thank goodness a tree never fall on my room “ “whew”. I tell my dad that a tree in going to collapse and its the tree next to my room!. My dad goes outside and has a look. “ NO! it’s not going to collapse your just feeling that because you're scared”. “ Oh sorry”. So I went back to bed.


Next morning OMG! there are branches and leaves and more branches. Luckily a tree didn't fall down like the last hurricane. “ Whew”.

The storm was the second biggest storm that hit auckland. The Zoo was closed because all the animal enclosures were broken and a big tree fell down. This storm was bad. It destroyed peoples houses.


Screenshot 2014-06-13 at 08.36.48.png
This is the zoo. All the animals are ok. But the zoo keepers have lots of cleaning to do.


I hope that there won’t be another storm like this. Next time there might be a tsunami or a flood or an earthquake.  Luckily it was just a storm. The storm went all around New Zealand. I think that Auckland had the worst storm.  Some houses had a blackout and there power lines got cut.
The people who cuts the trees that fall down, they had to spend there whole day cutting trees down the next day.


The storm swept a 12 year old  girl away when she walking to school.  The emergency services in Auckland city attended over 600 calls after midnight. One child got sent to hospital after a tree fell through the roof. The band of heavy rain and wind is now  moving south.
There are about 40,000 homes on Thursday   without power in Auckland. The storm left lots of damage. Some people said that it was a tornado.

My Favourite Person

Writing Sample Term 2 2014 28 May My Favourite Person In The World My baby brother Luqman is as cute as a baby kitten. When he smiles two cute dimples pop out. The hair on his head is as soft as fur on a polar bear. His big dark brown eyes are the same as mine. His skin is whitish brown. When he looks at me he has a big smile across his face. He wears his lightning Mcqueen shoes on his tiny feet. His clothes are so tiny. Luqman is a kind, friendly, Playful, funny baby. His laugh is so addictive and I can’t resist hearing it. My brother laughs When he wakes up in the morning he is a little bit moody and he just he wants mummy! OHH!. But when I go to school he just wants me! YAA!. Whenever I’m sad he will come and cuddle me and hug me and sometimes he kisses me on the cheek. Bed time is the best! he comes with my dad and tucks me in hugs me and kisses me on the cheek says When I come from school he runs to me and hugs me. As soon as we get home he pulls me and says “ Play with me! apa play with me! ” By Jumaanah

My Blog

My Blog


Welcome to my exciting blog.
At May Road School two classes have gone digital.We all have a blog. My blog has all my wonderful work on it that everyone in the whole world can see. People can write comments on my work. Once you post something on your blog it will stay there forever, only our teachers can delete it. My family can see my work from any part of the world. Isn't that amazing.


I feel excited and nervous  when I post something on my blog because everyone can see it. I also feel happy when I get a good comment from people around the world. I will be sad if someone writes a bad comment about my work. I feel proud of my work. Ako Hiko is one of the best things that ever happened to me.


Blogs are great  because my family can see my work from wherever they are. They can also write comments on my work . It’s a good opportunity to show the whole world my work .People can make some suggestions so I can improve on my work .


Sometimes blogs can be bad because people can say bad things about my work so I will ignore it and show it to my teacher and she will delete it. It is very important to  not give any private information on our blogs .

We can use our blogs to remember what we did in school when we grow old.We can see other peoples blogs from other schools. We can write comments on childrens work. When we look at other childrens blogs we can get ideas  and do something like that. We can put pictures on  our blogs of trips our exciting times.
