Narrative Writing

In a land far far away there were two little kids named Jimmy and Lala. They saw a huge red door that took them to the underworld with a dangerous scary devil named Joe. He was the most powerful immortal ever in ancient history. It was because of his most powerful toes that had the Ability to run faster than Usain Bolt. The Next day Jimmy and Lala woke up in a mysterious castle. All they saw was lots of guns full of ak47s, RPG’s, and desert eagles. It was only Jimmy and Lala talking on the devil at MW2. Jimmy grabbed out the RPG and try to get Joe, but he was too fast. The Devil got out a ak47 and started shooting Jimmy. Lala only needing one shot to win this game. In Fact Lala was so Angry that she turn ultimate Hulk and started manny pacquiao the devil. The game was over with Jimmy and Lala becoming the most powerful little kids in ancient history now.

The next morning Jimmy and Lala were hungry. So Jimmy had to hunt so they can survive on food and water. 7 hours been passed and still Jimmy and Lala have found no food. Later on a miracle happen. All the superheroes came, Hulk, Spider Man, Thor, and all the Marvel and Dc character. They all had a feed together to Celebrate the death of the Devil, Joe. Soon Enough a bright light came and woke up Jimmy. It was a god. “come alone Jimmy” Zeus said. He went off leaving Lala behind so he can save the world from becoming a dirty trash. Lala was left alone afraid that something bad was going to happen.

Later on Lala and the avengers were on a mission to find one of the most horrible men Smoke, and Ryder. They were both heading towards the jets to make a run away. One second, Iron Man came out of nowhere and blew up the jet. The world was saved from Jimmy. And that was the ending of the story. “what what what” I forgot to tell you something Jimmy and Lala both got married to each other.

Tamaki Tech

On a Thursday all year 8’s have been able to do tech at Tamaki College. First off we were sent there to learn, make, cook, and do all different kinds of things. I was put into Japanese with my new teacher Sensei Ishibashi. When we first got to do japanese I never thought that it was going to be boring doing worksheets with everyone else. What I like really doing there was just drawing at the back of my worksheets.

The next week Sensi Ishibashi was gone because he broke his arm. Seen Sensei was gone we had Mr Uku. He show us how to create a Ninja star and a Samurai hat. It was awesome being with Mr Uku for the first time. After making Ninja stars and Samurai hats, we went outside to learn some Karate. It was funny once my friends started making weird nosing. Later on we had to go back to School to learn more.

For the last day of the term we all saw Sensi Ishibashi. My first word I ever said to him in awhile was good morning Sensi Ishibashi how a you. I knew something was going to be cool today so I stick to it. I really like it today at Japanese and I really had a good time. But all those word I've been saying about it was boring I really didn’t mean that.

So thank you Sensi Ishibashi for showing us the true meaning of japanese.
 

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.
