K4K Show

On Thursday, the first week of school I was late to practice at the K4K Vodafone Event Centre in Manukau.

 After school I went home and got ready for K4K. Once I was ready I had dinner and went to go pick up Kamaea from her house. Miss. Nees-Kairua said for parents to meet up at school.

 When my mum dropped us off to school we went into the office and she left. Savior was already there so we waited until Laurence came to school. Finally he came and his mum took a photo of us. We wasted our time to wait for the others and nobody came. We waited for Mrs. Tui to come and then she came after 20 minutes.

We hopped into her car and headed off to the studio. I got scared because I didn’t know the actions to the dances. When we saw Beata’s Parents they told us she was around the corner. Suddenly around the corner was everyone else! I was so exited and not scared anymore. I wasn’t scared anymore because Kalisi was there and I knew she would help me with the dances!

When we got inside we played some games like “Apple on a stick” and “Concentration”. After a long time we had a group talk and when we finished we went inside. When we got into the studio we sat down and sang. The first song was called home again.

Once it was finished we went home!

How to make a painted cushion By: Arvay

In my class at Saint Pius X Catholic School, we decided to get to know eachother and ourselves better. We did this as part of our health and wellness to get to know what makes us work and feel happy if we are sad. We made cushions that were all about us! Everything we put on our cushions were things that were important to us like our family, favourite food, hobbies, culture we are and religious values that are important to us. We all guessed which cushion belonged to who and talked about what makes us special and unique. Our teacher Miss Nees-Kairua said it is our differences and our similarities that make us all unique and special. When we were making the cushion I liked making them because I've never made a cushion before, but what I didn't like about making the cushion was that it didn't turn out as I wanted it to be. Why I didn't like my cushion was because the paint turned into another color. If I could make another cushion I would choose a different type of paint.

This is how my cushion turned out!!!

How to make a Painted Cushion:

1. Choose a square shaped fabric
2. Choose what kind of paint (It doesn't have to be fabric paint)
3. Buy or get a piece of white chalk
4. Make a line around and make a cross touching the line around the piece of fabric with the chalk
5. Choose any 4 color's of paint (I chose white, blue, purple and brown)
6. Paint those any 4 color's of paint into the 4 pieces that you made from the chalk and let it dry
7. Once it's dry design the 4 parts with the chalk
8. When you've finished designing the fabric choose the colors to paint it.
9. Now paint the design on the fabric.
10. If you want the other side to be the same then repeat these steps and if not then buy a different type of fabric that's already designed
11. Sew the pieces of fabric together and leave a whole so you can put the fluff inside.
12. When the fluff is inside the cushion then sew the rest of it

Now you have your very own cushion!!!!

This is how my cushion turned out!!!

Floor planning of The new school!

In room 5 and room 3 we have been planning to make an example of the new school.
We used a link, click here to make your own school or whatever you want.
You can add furniture and rooms of different shapes. Have a good time when you might play the game. Thank you!!
