Artefact for PBL

I have been doing my Artefact the last 3 day at school with Amelie.  The thing I found was to managing distractions behind me. The thing I most enjoyed was painting with Amelie because we got mucky.  My Artefact is a diorama about birds. Its purpose is to teach people about birds. I made it using paint,paper, pencils and pens. I used my managing distractions well by keeping on working even now there was distraction behind me.    

Digital Graffiti Name

Today I have been doing my name art. I did my name on Graffiti Creator. My friend Amelie helped me. The colours I used were Aqua, purple, blue and pink . We were making them because we were going to put them on our tote- tray.

Auckland Host  World Master Games
May 1, 2017

The World Masters Games have just concluded in Auckland, bring to a close New Zealand’s largest ever sporting event. Prime Minister Bill English opened the event 10 days ago and since then over 28,000 competitors have taken part from over 120 countries.

This year in New Zealand there were 28 sports on offer, from archery to waterpolo. The next event is in Kansai, Japan, in four years time.

What are the World Masters Games?
The World Masters Games is a global multi-sport event for athletes of masters age, held every four years, in a different city of the world each time. Every sport is different with respect to the age at which athletes becomes masters. For example, you’re a master at age 25 in swimming and generally a master in most sports by the age of 35.

The World Masters Games follows the Olympics model. There are Summer and Winter Games like the Olympics. Plus there are opening and closing ceremonies and medals awarded. The difference is that you do not need to be an elite athlete to compete and in most sports, you don’t need to qualify.
