LI:To research about Max Gimblett.
This week researched on someone named Max Gimblett. This person is a famous New Zealand artist. He was born in December 5th 1935. He grew up in Auckland. He currently lives in New York city. He makes Quatrefoils. What is so special about him: He made a art to show that he respects the ANZAC. He made a piece art for  the ANZAC who lost their lives. He hung them in Auckland St Davids Church. This art was made on the 31st of July 2016. The artwork was a lot of gold coloured Quatrefoil and it had a note that said “Remembrance”. We had to make a DLO about Max Gimblett and his art of remembrance . We had to work in partners, I worked with Farzana. At the when we finished that we had to make our own Quatrefoil. We had to make three, the first one had we to do it the style of Max Gimblett, the second one had to be for armistice day, and the last one had to be for Christmas.

LI: to learn about the causes, conflict & resolution in World War One
This week we are doing a DLO about Armistice day. We had to work with a partner. In our DLO we had to listen to a song called the “Last Post”. The Last Post is a song for telling people that war time is over, also the Last Post is a song of remembrance for those people who sacrificed their lives for us. We listened to two version one was played using a trumpet, and the other electric guitar. Then we listened to two poems. One was “For the Fallen”, and the other was Ode of the Remembrance. We had to write information about “For the Fallen”, and write why we say the Ode of Remembrance still to this day. Then we talked about Poppies, and talked about why it’s still used.
