Yachting And Kayaking Day 1.



Yachting and Kayaking Day 1

Monday the 16 of September
Pandora Pond 
Napier Hawkes Bay.

This is an animation video about Nikita's day at Optimist Yachting and Kayaking. This video tells you about what I was pleased with, what I found hard, what I wanted to get better and a few other things.

Here is a link to go animation.com. So that you can make your own animation film to entertain people and family. http://goanimate.com/.   

Yachting and Kayaking Reflection.

Something I was pleased with was that all the captains were really supportive and encouraging. Because this was my first time yachting and kayaking
I really enjoyed learning how to sail a Optimist Yacht and paddle a Kayak. Because it was all a new experience for me!

Something I found hard was to keep paddling straight and not to zigzag across the pond. Because me and my buddy were paddling in the opposite way.

Something that made me think was why isn't our kayak going straight across the pond and not zigzagging. Because it wasn't going straight across the pond.

Something I want to get better at is kayaking because I wasn't very good at it today.

Room 20 Egyptian Cartouches


This is room 20 kids Egyptian Cartouche art.  
Cartouches are like nameplates that go on coffins. Egyptians use symbols called HIEROGLYPHICS instead of letters. The symbols mean what your name sounds like in phonetic letters.  The Ancient Egyptians had applied rope to the outside of the cartouche to keep out the evil spirits. My artwork has 5 symbols. My real name is N-I-K-I-T-A but because it has to be what it sounds like in phonetic letters it is N-K-E-T-A.

Now that you know what a cartouche is I hope that you will have a go at home or wherever you get an opportunity to do one.


Here is a page of “ HIEROGLYPHICS ” to help you make and design your own cartouche.

So what are you waiting for, get creative and make your own cartouche that can say whatever you want it to.
