Cross Country

Wow! I was so excited that I felt like I could sprint as fast as a car. The 12 year old girls lined up on the line ready to compete with each other. Mr Burt said “3, 2, 1” BANG! We all started to jog.

First we ran across the field, then we ended up on the track. On our way through the tracks there were a lot of puddles and yucky mud. I think I was near the front. I felt exhausted before I got to the bridge.   

Next I crossed the bridge and ran up the hill. It was a dangerous hill when we got up to the part where we almost finished the track. When we first started I was scared that I will slip and fall into the icky, slimy mud. After it came up to the hills I almost fell over into the river.

Then I started sprinting at the end of the race course. On the way to the finish line I felt like I was going to drop and faint. After I had finished I was begging to get water. I felt like I was going to faint but I didn’t. I ended up with mud all

Kapa Haka

I really love going to Kapa Haka. On Thursday afternoon the Kapa Haka group had to go to Room 20 to practice.  When the bell rang we had to line up and wait outside room 20 for the teacher to come and open the door.  We had to pack the desks on the sides because we didn’t have enough room to practice.

The boys and girls had to line up in two lines and practice while the teachers (Whaea Sophie and Ms Squires) taught us most of the moves. We had to sit down and listen to our teacher while she was telling us what the moves were going to be.

After we had learnt the actions we all waited for Whaea Sophie to teach Dylan how to play the guitar while we were singing and dancing at the same time. Our first actions was to put our hands on our ribs because we had to put more moves in our Kapa Haka group dance. When we finished we had to listen so that we would all know what and how our action were going to be.  

What I love about Kapa Haka is that we learn more and exciting songs.

Archery

As you can see he is trying to aim at the target he's trying to hit. 

He is also trying hard to shoot the target so that he could show people how talented he is.

He is showing us how to hold the bow and arrow properly and how to aim straight.

As you can see he is very taleted at shooting at a target.

London Olympics

This term I have been learning about the London Olympics 2012. This year  the athletes are competing in the Olympics and is been held in London. When my teacher played a movie of the Olympics I was watching the movie and writing about how amazing the Olympics was. I am really looking forward for the 2012 Olympics.

When the 2012 Olympics starts there will lots of athletes compete. We have been learning about this year Olympics when it starts I will be excited because I would like to see who will be the world's Champion athlete.

The five rings stand for the continents of five rings.

The fastest man in the world is Usain Bolt. He is from Jamaica and represents his country. He is also born on the 21 of August and  he is the world record holder in the 100 meter and 200 meter  race course.

London has built new venues for the games. They are also using old buildings to host the games. They are bringing in more guards to protect the well beings of the athletes.


I am looking forward to seeing  the world champion athletes at the Olympics.

Holiday high lights

When the first holidays started I was excited to go to the movies with my friends Denim,
Andrea, Awhina, Katrina. When we all arrived we went for a walk around Sylvia park then went on the escalators to see where we are.

Before that we went to the movies to see what time it starts and what movie we should see. When we all arrived we saw the movie chart after that we all chose what movie we all wanted to watch. When we got there I thought that we should of watched the movie all together so that we wouldn’t lose each other.

While we were deciding what movie we should watch’’ Andrea decided that we should watch the movie Snow White and the huntsman. When we arrived into the movie theater we went in we had to find our seat code to sit  on it. When the movie started I was on my netbook chatting to some of my friends and asking how their holidays been.

Before that we had to wait for a hour for the movie to start. After that Andrea and Awhina and Katrina went to Pak’n Save to get some popcorn and four drinks for all of us. When I walk into the movie theater I felt excited to see the movie Snow White and the Huntsman.

Before we walked into the movie theater we all walked into the game place to see what game we wanted to play.During the movie we had to wait for a while for the movie to start  when it started i was talking while the movie was starting. When it

My Special Place

My special place is in Rotorua because I like to spend time with my family. The reason why I picked Rotorua is because I thought that this would be the only place that I’d pick. The picture that I have is from the internet. I took a screenshot of it and sketched a picture of it.

My art is in the style of Van Gogh because I have used bright colours and some plain ones. My painting is about the hot mud pools in Rotorua and there is a Maori design in it.

Term 2Reflection

This term I have learnt a lot of things about art. My teacher has taught me a lot of things about Vincent Van gogh art. He has a lot of detail and he shows us a lot of colours. Also, Henri Matisse likes to show people a lot of colour.His style of art is Fauvism, which translates into Wild beast. He likes to sketch his artwork then outline it. After he finishes he paints over it with colours such as black, pink, yellow and blue.

Danielle Hulme likes to draw pasifika art work and likes to colour it with paint and likes to use a lot of patterns. She also likes to draw a lot of detail. She likes to add fruit and women with their hair out.

We have learnt a lot of styles of art and how to paint like an artist.

Halfway through the year we have almost finished our work and the holidays are coming up. We are going to put them up in the hall and are showing people how amazing our artwork is. We are are showing our visitors how and what we done with it. We had to write about who’s art we used and how we figured out how to use the technique.
