First we go into groups and organised all the things that we would need to make the pie. l started dicing the onion really small, Mele and Nyjah were peeling the potato and adding it into the bowl. After we did this l added the oil and onions to the pan. Then we mashed the potato up until it was nice and smooth. After this we added our Vegetables, Mince and BBQ sauce all together. Our challenging part for our group was too dived the pie at the end and the Cottage pie was really nice when we got to eat it at the end.

Ballet

This week we had Ballet with Chloe from the Royal New Zealand Ballet. Chloe showed us the black swan dance. This dance was based on Swan Lake Chloe taught us the sequences from the current performance that they have done which was Black swan. I really enjoyed learning about ballet and getting to try it for the first time. The music that we used was a classical Tchaikovsky which is a piece that was named after Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky because he composed operas. I liked the song a lot because it show cased a nice and beautiful piece's. Chloe gave us a lot of advise and tip's when we were dancing one of the tip's was to commit to the movement to get the best effect. My Favorited part about the ballet was learning new effects and shapes trying to be more out there with our movements and creative. 

I would like to say a big thank you to Chloe for teaching us the ballet dance from black swan and choreograph. Another Thank you too Mrs Jones for giving us this opportunity to dance and learn something that we have never done before.

Literary Devices

Here is the Link to my DLO -  Avalon Literary Devices 

This week we were learning about Poetry to learn about it first we learnt the six different words to create a poetry. Our challenge was to create a DLO that tells others about the poetry words only using google doc's. First we find the meaning of what the words mean put remember we could only use google draw to look for the image we couldn't use goggle to look up the images so we used the explore tool to search up the images on google. We made sure that the images we labeled for reuse so we weren't just taking the images from someone website i added who the photo was by most of my images were by pixabay which is a website that gives free images. These imaged showed and tells us what the words means like Onomatopoeia l found a image of the words Bam because Onomatopoeia means when something sounds like it or looks like it. I really enjoyed learning about the words because this teaches me about the different words.
