Greek Olympic Vases

This week at school we have been creating art on Greek Olympic Vases. My story was based on Valerie Adams at this Olympics. We got the idea from the little kids in Room 5.

Valerie Adams has just thrown and she got just over 20 metres. Now it is Nadzeya Ostapchuk is about to throw. She has thrown over Valerie Adams. Nadzeya Ostapchuk is awarded a gold medal. The next thing that you know Valerie Adams has got the gold medal because Nadzeya Ostapchuk was on drugs.

Here is my art that I created.  
Hope you enjoy.

White Pine Bush and Lake Tautira

Renee and my plant that we planted together.

One of the Plants that one of us planted.

Half of the group that went on the trip.

On the 6th of August, 2012, some seniors got chosen to go to White Pine Bush and Lake Tautira to learn about nature and to plant some little plants. We all got chosen by the teacher and he chose us for a reason. While we were at White Pine Bush, the people that worked there, they asked us lots of questions and gave us lots of information on trees and nature.

Here are some pictures on our special trip.


   

Shadow Goblins

In the middle of the night, when all the people and children are asleep, outcome the shadow goblins. They are all different shapes and sizes. If you wake up in the middle of the night when you go to get a drink, there will be a Shadow goblin in the shadow of your body. At 1 o'clock in the morning, the shadow goblins move onto the sheep in the paddock. When they are asleep, the shadow goblins change the shadows like, if you are a human, when you wake up you might have a sheep shadow and the sheep will have a human shadow. If you dream about cute little puppy dogs, the next night, if you dream about little puppy dogs again, they will turn evil and come after you in real life. If you dream spooky things, they will turn all nice. The creature that does that is called the DREAM SHIFTER. If you get your dream changed, you will be able to see ghost and zombies for the rest of your life so BEWARE.

Wow! The crowd is going louder and louder, they are all looking up. My, oh my, that is a really big parachute coming down into the stadium. It is Queen Elizabeth, and coming down after her is, who is it? Oh it is James Bond.

I never thought I would see her parachute out of a helicopter. BANG, CRASH!!! All the fireworks went off in a hurry. Fireworks after fireworks after fireworks. More and more came heavily. They were the most amazing fireworks I have ever seen. They were all different colours. As everyone look up Queen Elizabeth starts to talk. “ I declare the Olympic games to start.” she said. Everyone started to scream and shout. After the Queen had finished her speech, all the people in the stadium heard fireworks. The Olympic Games started!!!

Koru art

This week at school, we have been making art to represent Maori week. We made some art using Koru  and we could chose what design we did and we made it. We had to have a koru in the foreground and one in the background. It was really fun to do because we could draw our design and we could do our own colours. This is the art that I made.
