In Te Ngahere we have been learning about the famous pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. We have been finding out interesting facts about him and been writing them down on slides.
He made art with dotted designs like cartoon comics. I have learnt that he was born 1923 and died in 1997 he liked doing pop art. The hard part was figuring out the facts. I liked figuring out the facts about him because it was fun and interesting. Do you know who Roy Lichtenstein is?

On September 25th we did cross country at Bledisloe. I was so tired because we had to run up a hill that was very high. Some of my friends were sprinting at first and I was jogging. Alana and I were going in front of each other. I tried to go in front of my friend Tiiria but she was very, very fast. I came 5th I think. After I finished I got a juicy. Then my little brother wanted a juicy. Then after cross country I went on the bus with my friend Ruby.
This term in Te Maunga we did poetry. I learnt about alliteration, similes, metaphors and adverbs. I wrote 5 poems. One of the poems was about a cat. I used similes and alliteration. Metaphors are when you are comparing 1 thing to another.
