AFL

Over the last 2 weeks our class room 21 had to learn about AFl. A really good game to play. Our coach was Sandwich and he gave us a good experience learning how to drop punt and pass. It was fun once we started kicking the ball, but my partner stinks at it. My only session for today is drop punt.

The only thing I like to do in a game. I was cracking up because when I went to drop punt the ball, Kane did a nek minute. Later on after that we went to play octopus. The funniest part that happen was that Lorenzo thought that he was about to make it pass, but soon enough Sandwich came from a mile and got him.

The next week we learn a new strategy, passing. It was a little bit fun but I didn’t like it. It was boring in fact. My opponent was Aidan and he was better then my other partner Kane. Aidan and I was just passing the ball like we were pros. We were in our possession doing all sort of drills like ball handling skills, the pirate dance, high passing, and I don’t really know more.

Compare & Contrast Pablo Picasso & Daniella Hulme

Room 21 has been given a challenge for the second time to compare and contrast Pablo Picasso and Daniella Hulme. Pablo Picasso is famous for his art style ‘Cubism’ and Daniella Hulmes style is modern art. The two artworks that we have comparing is ‘The Weeping Woman’ by Picasso and ‘A lazy day in paradise’ by Daniella Hulme.

First I looked at ‘the weeping woman’. I noticed that there are lots of lines. Also it looks ugly. I can notice that it has a sort of green that I have never seen. But by the looks of it, it looks like its mixed with yellow. It looks like she is crying but I can’t tell about the weeping woman.

In the painting of ‘A lazy day in paradise’, I see that a woman just being lazy doing nothing. She is just lying down on the sofa. I see lots of colours that make it stand out. She has lots of flowers that’s like island pattern’s.

The different about the the ‘Weeping woman and ‘A lazy day in paradise. Is that the ‘weeping woman’ has more lines and that it just looks like broken glass. Also Daniella Hulme looks realistic, because it has all sort of Island pattern.

My second thoughts is that I like the Daniella Hulme painting better because the ‘Weeping woman’ just looks weird and hideous.      

Friday Assembly

On a Friday all the classes had to go to assembly to see who gets to be a prefect. It was boring of cause and I started falling asleep. Mr Burt showed us a video that can help us use the crossing safely. Instead of running across the road use the crossing its much more safe.

Now When You get out of the car use the footpath side.

Van Gogh and Matisse

Sunflowers by Van Gogh La Musique by Matisse

Matisse and Van Gogh

In room 21 our teacher Mrs Lagitupu has set us a task to compare and contrast Henry Matisse and Van Gogh's paintings. Henry Matisse is famous for his art style Les Fauves or Fauvism (Wild Beast). And Van Gogh's art style is Expressionism, and thats what he's famous for. The two paintings that we had to compare were Matisses 'La Musique' and Van Goghs 'Sunflowers'.

What I notice about the sunflower painting is that it has only a few colours. It has lots of yellow and brownish colours. It looks like some flowers are facing down. Maybe some of the sunflowers are dead because they look tired and droopy. The flowers are sitting in a pot. The pot also has yellow and brownish colours like the flowers.

Something I notice about 'La Musique' is that the lady with the guitar is wearing blue clothes on. And that she is with someone beside her who is wearing a yellow brownish dress. Also on the painting it shows a very good background that stands out. The background has large green leaves. It looks like the lady is playing the guitar to the musical notes on the floor.

The sunflower is different to the 'La Musique' painting because the colour from the sunflower is mainly yellow and the 'La Musique painting has lots of contrasting colours.
