Starry Night-Art Work

 As you guys know this term's theme is "Art Alive", Room 4 has been learning about the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh and his famous art work. We have been learning about one specific art work from Vincent which is called the Starry night. Van Goghs used short brush strokes,colour and texture he used these in most of his paintings.

A few weeks ago Room 4 tried to draw the starry night with pencil and pastel's. Recently we have been painting the starry night and we used the same techniques as Vincent we used short brush strokes and we also used different shades of colors. When I did mine i thought it was going to turn out bad but it turned out really good and it was fun learning some news ways to paint.

Plastic Pollution Crisis-Writing

WALT: to organise our ideas into paragraphs

Have you ever thought of how much Plastic gets dumped onto and into the land,ocean? We need to find a way to reduce and eliminate single use plastic products, so our animals are not endangered. 14 billion tons of Plastic gets dumped onto land which then gets swept into the ocean. 267 species around the world are endangered by plastic pollution and some are almost becoming extinct.

What is Plastic Pollution?Plastic Pollution is Plastic Particles that end up in the Earth’s environment and in the ocean which affects our animals. Plastic objects such as Plastic Bottles,Rubbish Bags,Chip packets always end up on land but then get swept from heavy rain via storm drains and sewer overflows.

Have you thought about the number of plastic’s you're reducing?.Try to reduce the number of harmful,wasteful and non-recyclable products you buy.As much as possible try to avoid buying single-use plastics and items with excessive plastic packaging. If you start reducing the number of plastic’s you’re using, this will result in less waste materials ending up in the ocean and in landfills.

Have you thought about Recycling?Recycling is the most environmentally friendly waste disposal method. Recycling the plastic objects you're using can help stop pollution in the ocean and on land. Reason why recycling is good because it reduces the need for extracting, refining and processing raw materials which create substantial air and water pollution.

These are some reasons why Plastic pollution is a crisis all around the world. Maybe you could stop using single-use plastics and refusing plastic items like plastic bags,water bottles and more plastic objects. Try to use the 5 R’S:Refuse,Reduce,Reuse,Repursope and Recycle, End single-use plastic.

New Zealand Sign Language-Writing

 What is sign language? Sign language is a combination of hand shapes, facial expression and visual gestures. This is to help the deaf community understand what the government and other people are saying. It also provides full access to communication, it isn’t just used for deaf community it is also used for people who can hear but can’t speak.

NZ sign language (NZSL) is unique. It is a natural language of NZ deaf community, NZ sign language is also strictly home-grown because it originated here in NZ. NZSL is New Zealand’s third official language and it became it in April 2006.NZSL has its own grammar as well as other languages and it also has ways of expressing concepts that are not identical to spoken language.

Sign Language is the 12th most frequently used language in NZ. As one of New Zealand’s official languages 24,000 New Zealanders use NZSL daily. English is the first language that is spoken more in NZ and sign language is the 12th language that is spoken in NZ.
