Favorite Art

'Cuck-Cuck-Cuck'

Hello!!

Greeting everyone i'm back and the grey teal is this weeks bird call. Usually seen in small flocks of about 10-50 birds, the grey teal is native to New Zealand and is protected and can be found throughout the country. 

As all of you know . . . we just recently had the art exhibition last 

Thursday, (By the way, everyone did a great job on that it all looks 

super cool) anyway for this weeks task we have to post a picture on 

our blog of our favorite piece of art that we did, as well as another 

photo of our favorite piece from another class. 

Lets start off with my favorite piece from our class . . .

   

First up is the X-Wing!! 

It's so cool, but it was originally going to be a moon . . . yip you heard me a moon! going to be placed just underneath major tom (The astronaut) to give it the effect of it 'falling' down to the moon. 

Yeah but as you can see it didn't quite get to the finished product because it started to turn out to be a big pile of weirdly cut wire . . . 

Yip that failed a bit . . . okay a lot!!! and yeah I know it isn't even  

hemispherical but look what it turned out to be! an extremely big X-Wing! It doesn't really fit in our classroom ether, and it is only being held together by a few blobs of glue, and a couple of broom sticks.

Everyone in Rm12 helped assemble both the X-Wing and Major Tom.

My favorite piece of art from another class comes from room 9.
Their art theme was mountain ranges and alpine. I just think that they are so cool. Everyone worked really hard on them and the rest of the art throughout the school.


Overall well done everyone! all the classes look so cool!!

Random Fact for this week . . .

The volcano in Indonesia poors out "Blue Lava" but it isn't rally lava itself, due to the combination of sulfuric gases in contact with the air at temperatures above 360°C. There's so much sulfur, that at times it flows down the rock face as it burns, making it seem as though blue lava is spilling down the volcano slopes. But because only the flames are blue, rather than the lava itself, the effect is only visible at night—during daytime, the volcano looks like any other.

Goodbye

Poems

"Weet"   "Weet" 

Hey!!

I'm back once again for this weeks blog post and this weeks bird call comes from the Wrybill. this bird is endemic (found nowhere else in the world) and is fully protected (because there is only about 5, 00 or so of them left) They breed on riverbeds in Canterbury and Otago but after breeding season they migrate North to the North island.

            

Our writing topic for school is poetry, over the weeks we have covered loads of different poem styles such as...

• Squash Clubs
• I hear
• Limericks
• Quatrains
• Emotional poems 

The poems I'm going to share with you 

today are my emotional poems. 

Anger is a ticking bomb, just waiting to 

explode.

But when it does, it’s prison cell erupts,    

A crash of thunder screaming from the sky.

Inferno burning down my body, my cheeks 

alive with red.  

A predator vs prey, a hailstorm as it hits. 

But,     

Anger is just fragile ice, it will melt away 

in time.

Fear takes ahold of you, with long prickly 

fingers.

Lurking in the deepest part, coursing through 

the veins.

It creeps inside, a big black spider taking a 

poisonous bite.

It pounces on the other emotions, a lion attacking 

its prey.

It can visit everyone, but can’t stay for long,  

Fear has an endless diet, it will always come back 

for more…   

So... what do you think?? I can think up of ideas pretty quick, it's 

just the 'making it perfect' stage that always takes ages. It all literal 

comes into my head, and writing down your emotions is way easier 

that saying your emotions out loud. 

...and you got to admit it makes you feel a lot better when you 

express your emotions somehow, it's just like extra slab of weight 

lifted from your back... 

well I guess that's all for this week I'll see you all next time. Bye now...

Goodbye
