This is my Evaluation

MY writing

My fur rustling in the wind, goose bumps down my back, my big beady eyes glancing up at the moon, My little legs gripping on the edge of the gravestone, Night time, I crawled out of the shadows, and into the light. It was silent, DEAD silent.

My little legs rolled up into a little ball, and my fur stuck up like lots of little twigs, something wasn’t right. I could hear a whistling sound in my ear (whesle), “What, what is that, is someone there?, hello,” my eyes went back and forth across the graveyard, but there was nothing.

I knew I was dreaming so I closed my eyes and counted to 3, 1, 2, 3.

My Evaluation

You don’t cut just one way you think carefully on how to shape your lines to create shape in the face. You also have to cut out the face and not the lines because the bits you don’t cut will show up on your face, you can’t cut too much or you will not see the face. When it comes the printing it you have to have the right amount of ink one because if you have to much it will come out gluggy.

At the start I wasn’t too sure about the linocuts and woodcuts because me and my sister always caved into the tree and that wasn’t so easy but when I learnt how to hold it properly and all the best ways to do it, it was a breeze. I also learnt to be careful with what you cut out.

I think I did really good because you can tell the difference from the black and white but it still has detail just not too much.

I only did my eye because I am not the best at drawing my face also, I thought a face would be too hard but now I have done it once I have noticed it is a lot easier than I thought, so if I got to do another one I would give the face a go.  Also there are little lines under my eyes and I would make them a bit thicker because you can only see them if you look very carefully.

Poppy Pink Pie - story by ME

Poppy Pink Pie

My Writing

The middle and end of last weeks writing...

As I hold on to the bubbles tightly, I look up into the sky, where all these bubbles were floating and flying around me. I stood up trying to keep my balance, to take one great big leap, onto the next bubble. I made it, now just one more “Ahhh” “haha”.

Little tiny fishes were everywhere, looking at me with there big blue eye’s Cool but scary. So I took a great big leap, out of the water, and back up into the sky.

It took me higher this time, it took me all the way up into space where, I saw a big bright star, so I closed my eye’s and made a wish.  I heard something, I heard footsteps. So I floated back down where I could have a closer look.

It was a little girl, she looked like me, she wasn’t happy she was sad, just like me, I couldn’t just watch her walk past crying. I have to do something so I blow some more bubbles, and walked down them like steps, I placest the bubbles in the sand and hide behind the rock. The little girl picked them up, and did just what I did, blow lots of little bubbles and watched them fly around her. My wish was that no one would feel sad like I was.

My writing

My feet, squishing into the sand, the warm breeze, flying around me like a little tornado  , it sounded nice, but it isn’t, you see, I’ve had a bad day.  It’s like the whole world is turning against me, I thought that if I came down here, to the beach, I won’t, well feel this way, the beach can change people.

What's that over there? It looks like um well BUBBLES, my little legs running as fast as little legs can run, I bend down to scoop it up, I thought to myself, it doesn’t matter if the world’s turning against me, I still have the beach.

As I blew one little bubble, I saw a little sparkle, then, there was nothing, it was gone, but that didn’t burst my bubble. I took a big breath in and then, I blow, I blow as hard as I could, lots of little bubbles came flying out, my face lit up with happiness, I started to dance, and I couldn’t stop, all the bubbles, spinning around me, forming into one, great, big, shiny BUBBLE. It scooped me up, and took me high in the sky, to this little place called, Land of the Bubbles.

My Writing

Hiding behind that natural blond hair is my hero, with big black glasses, and all dressed up in her uniform ready for school, pushing her way through the snow to get to the car ,every morning, with her teeth chattering away.

No matter how cold it is outside, or what her mood is, every morning she will wake up with a smile on her face, and nothing can wipe it off, she’s like a bird traveling the world, looking at the bright side when things go dark.

My hero lives in a small little town called Ngatea, when she was 13 she went all the way to Hamilton to go to Dio, which is a school for girls and just this year she was in a little car with her friend driving to Queenstown.

She is my hero because she will never give up and she always tries her best at everything.

In university she got offered to go all the way to the U.S.A just for work experience, but it was too expensive so instead she hopping on a plane and flying across the water to Australia, so shes going from freezing cold Queenstown to the hot summery Australia.

That is why my sister is my hero.

NYLD

On Thursday we had NYLD it was so fun my favorite speakers were Dave Atkinson and Cam Calkeon because they were funny and Cam Calkeon had a disability, and his favorite word is awesome so he got the word awesome make out of stell and he takes it everywhere with him. Dave was talking to us about super powers and his said that everyone has a super power, and his super power was Laughter, he also says that every super power has a bad thing about it like, Laughters bad thing is you can get board easy, and leadership and the bad thing about that is, you can get really bossy sometimes, and theres kindness, the bad thing is, you can be to kind and you don't say no, and last of all smarts the bad thing about that is you fell like you have to be the best at everything. I think my super power is Kindness and laughter but sometimes I can say no. After that big day I was very tied but I had a great time.

My Art

For art this term we are doing Zentangles and this is my one it is a eye, I am all most finished as you can see I still need to finish the nose, but so far I think it looks great and Mrs Hull wants me to enter it in a compition and the theme is the face.
this is what it looks like now.

Food Impact

This week we had impact and we got to start taste testing the food. Today we made pancakes and they were so good we let some other people test the food and they gave us a nine our of 10. They said that the pancakes were great, but we could work on the presentation, so now we know for next time. The reason the presentation wasn't that great was because all we wanted to do was eat them.

They don't really look like that, it's just that I forgot to take a photo!

Netball

Every Saturday I go down to the netball courts to play netball. I am in Ngatea 3, but we call ourselves Diamond Dragons. On Saturday we played Waerenga one, we lost 6 to 36 :( very sad, but I still had a good game.

J-Rock learning post

It's show time on the 25 of july we are performing for J-rock and we have just started the dancing and I am a 80s person with the fluffy hair and the big, very big phone, we are dancing to the song telephone by Lady Gaga. Our J-rock is about time changes, and it starts with a light bulb on stage.

Term 1 highlights

Term 1

This term I am so proud of myself because I did something I didn’t do last year, and that is get my blogging milestone, me Yvonne and Lucy got it on the same day. Next I will be getting my performing arts milestone because of J-Rock and when the jazz band plays to the school.

This year I became a school leader, so I got a little school leader badge to wear to school each day. I am a house leader for Orewa, with Conner, that means we look after the Orewa house when we do swimming sports and all the other events.

This years technology was a  bit different, because instead of one term for each thing we now do two weeks for each thing to get a taste. The reason we are doing two weeks is because this year we do Impact is well. My impact is food, that means I like to cook and eat food. Because my group is food we are doing cooking in term two, and my food group got made into smaller food groups and my small food group are making a healthy lunch and breakfast at school.

This year everything is changing. Last year we went from class to class, but this year Marama is one big class, so that means that the room 8 doors are open to room 7, and room 9 is the quiet room so that means no talking, and if you talk you get your gold card taken off you for the week.

The funniest part of term 1 is one of my favorite things we did in term 1, The skits at camp were so funny but my favorite three are the teachers and the winner skit, which was Mrs Browns boys and the circus talent show with the sophies and their friends.

This term my favorite thing would have to be camp. I was lucky enough to have my dad come on camp with me. This was probably my best camp because we did a big walk to Huka falls and then we went to AC baths. We also did rafting and I got us stuck in a tree. At the rock climbing walls, they said if I came back I could get a job, but they said they wouldn’t pay me but I would get free hot chocolates we did lots more than that, but I can’t make this too long.

This year I liked it how the three class’s are just one big class because if you need to see a teacher and that teachers busy you can go see the other teacher, plus you can work with anyone, even someone who is not in you class.

This year I think that I have gotten so much better at maths reading and writing, because in reading I went up a level, and in math Mrs Taaffe has been teaching us bedmas and I finally get it, and I think that I have gotten much better at my punctuation and being disruptive.

Next year I am hoping that I will achieve another milestone, and improve in my reading, writing and maths.

The Netball

The netball is a rocket,

shooting past the players

searching for the hoop.

The netball is like a blood stream

pumping everyone up

racing round the court.

The netball is as round as an eyeball,

as it watchs everyone come running as fast as a cheetah

the whistle blows everyone comes to a halt.

TIME.

On Thursday every week we have Impact. We chose out of all different things I did food because I like cooking, my group are doing a lunch order and a breakfast because some people don't eat breakfast or lunch and this is some of the work we do...

CAMP 2013

Once upon a time there was Madison, and action world.

As we pull into the car park, I undo my set balt, put my hands on the door and leap out of the car as dad pulls the bracks “ we’re here” , I ran as fast as a cheater could. I looked up and saw all the wonderful adventures waiting for me. We all went and sat on the hard prickly ground to get divided into small groups.

I wasn’t that confident so we started with the slide. Two at a time he said so I raced up there, It took a lot of confidence, well for me it did. I leaped onto the stunt man screaming like I was going to die. I heard a big ban as I hit the stunt mat, I was relieved that part was over. Time for the slide I grabbed a mater and ran up high as the sky, flattened my mat and slid all the way back down again, so worth the leap.

Time for the monkey bars, dad said I will be fine because I am a monkey. As I looked up and up the ladder I took a deep breath and look who was in front of me just to see how its done and how would want to be first well apart from Hollie and carla because they were first but then it was me. My turn, right another deep breath in and another deep breath out, left foot first then right as I climbed up the ladder,I Looked down I know I shouldn't of but It was a long, very long  way down, “jump” the guy said, I grabbed onto the bar bent down, look down and swung, two times and a stamp, ten times I need to jump I just can’t do it, but my hands are getting slippery to slipery, slipping, falling screaming ban I hit the mat, I slowly rolled off and hit the hard ground.

The day is almost finished but it is not over it's time, time for the big swing. As I look up I said to myself “no way am I doing that I will die”. But guess who has the guts there names are , Lucy and Yvonne.

After a long hard day of work Its bed time. well not bed time but time to pack up and go back.

Just like a fairytale, I lived happily ever after the end.
