Anubis: The Egypt God Of Final Judgement

Anubis: The God Of Final Judgement


In room 20 we have been learning about Ancient Egypt. Our class is trying their best to become Ancient Egypt experts. The only way we could become Ancient Egypt experts was to learn about what they did in Egypt and to add some colour. That means we had a chance to do art.

My art is to do with Ancient Egypt Gods. My Gods name is: ANUBIS. He is the God of          "FINAL JUDGEMENT."

Here is a website to show some of the Egyptian art that room 20 has been doing. Click here to go on to that website. http://art-educ4kids.weebly.com/egyptian-art.html.


This is a photo of my God art and the real one.

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.

Fantail Report

>

The task was to write a report about a creature that lived in NZ before the Europeans came. I wrote my report on a Fantail. In this report I have wrote: An introduction, description, habitat, diet, behavior and some interesting facts! Once you've done that, wallah there is your report on whatever creature you did. I hope you liked my report.

Apple Boy

         

There once was an 8 year boy named Cameron who was forced by his parents to leave their little cottage, more like a one bedroom house with three people living in it! Can you imagine that! Any way before the boy had left his mother said”, You are to you sell all the apples by yourself and by yourself I mean yourself”!

So many hours later the boy looked at the bags of apples and remembered what his mum had said!

After days and nights had passed the boy had 30 more bags left so he had only sold 1 bag! He had made 10 dollars. That was barely enough to buy a single chocolate bar. 

One day a man came and saw Cameron and said,” Hey there lad What are you doing here on the streets” and Samuel replied “ My parents forced me to leave the cottage and go to sell these apples to make lot’s of money and they told me that I was not allowed to even put my foot into the cottage unless if I had sold all of the apples”. The man passing by asked Cameron where he lives? Cameron said “ I don’t know”. The passing by man said “ Well you are no hope so I better get going Cameron, bye bye for now! “W-w-wait” screamed Cameron.!!! I don’t know my letter box number but I think that I know my aunties and uncles letter box number!

As quick as two shakes of a dogs tail the man stopped and asked the boy what it was! The boy replied “ Um..........what was it again..........??? Oh yeah I remember it now!!! It is “ 123 Imaginary street.. 

"What the hang are you saying," said the man!!!! That’s my letter box number. "Oh,oops"! "That means that I don’t know what my aunties and uncles letter box number is"!!!

The thing that happened next is fairly obvious that is that the man walked off and didn't pay attention to what Cameron had to say. 

As the man walked on by until he was out of sight, Cameron sat on the streets and once again thought about what his mother had said to him and he thought about it so much, that as soon as he stopped thinking about what his mum said his mum’s voice got stuck inside his mind. He tried to get it the voice out by singing different songs and different voices but all his words went to waste!

2 months later apple boy had sold all of his apples and he went to the bank and asked a man who was at the service desk “ Do you know where I live? The man asked Cameron what his mother and fathers name was and Cameron replied “ My mother and fathers names are Sarah and Samuel” The man at the service desk said do you know your letter box number? Cameron replied “ Um..........what was it again..........Oh yeah I  remember it now!!!! My letter box number is 345 Apple Street. I will look that up right now said the man.

He typed in the address and it came up with a photo of his cottage. The man turned his computer around and showed apple boy, he said "yes, yes" that is my cottage. The service desk man closed the service desk and took Cameron to his cottage.When they reaches Cameron's cottage, Cameron raced in and gave his parents a great big hug.

The first that his parents asked him was if he was alright and Cameron replied "you bet I am". That’s all because of this man because he gave me lot’s and lot’s of food and then we both sat down to eat!! 

After we had finished I asked the man if he could track down my house. He said "Sure I can". I was so happy that I nearly screamed like a girl. Moments later I settled down and then this helpful man typed my address and then he turned his computer screen around and it had a picture of our cottage and I said “ YES, YES, YES that is my cottage"!

"Woo hew I am going home", everybody turned around and started laughing and I went red in the face with embarrassment!!!!!! After that he printed out the directions and then we were off and I talked all the way about how badly I missed you and when I had stopped blabbering I realized that we had reached my cottage I was so happy and then I thanked him and that was my apple adventure! 

If you liked my adventure go to NikitaG@parkvale. After that click on the first one and wait for it load and then scroll down to see all the interesting things including my “APPLE ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!” I hope you like my apple adventure. Bye Bye.

This is the video of Room 20's assembly item. The reason why we chose to preformed an item about Gondwanaland was to show the people how New Zealand and some of the other countries were formed! It also shows why we have lots of unusual creatures like the Kiwi.
