Taonga time

Last week on Friday I went to room 18 to do ice hockey. Mr Barks told us the rules and about safety because our teeth might come out if you get hit. At first he told us about the first rule. There was no high stick allowed. If you do it you get sin binned. Mr Barks told us about being offside and shoulder barging. He then asked if we needed a mouthguard, cap, and a helmet, because if you don’t get any of them you will get hurt.

Next, we played and my team was good because we won lots of games at Tamaki. Mr Barks and I were one of the best, but then I kept on getting the ball and shooting it in the goal. Sometimes I missed the goal. Mr Barks is the man because when he shot long he sometimes gets it in, but then we won against the boys.

At last, it was the final. The girls were pretty good but we kept on losing so we lost. We didn’t really lose. We felt sorry for them, so we let them win.

Last week I went to tamaki college on Tuesday. I went to food tech and we baked some cookies. I washed my hands and went to go and get the equipment for cooking and We got ready to cook  and get the Ingredients:  -
1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup butter
1  2 cups chocolate chips

We put the cookies in the oven for 12 minutes after that we wash our dishes. We clean up our bench and waited for the chocolates cookies some of them started to rise so big that one of them was going to explode. We took  them out and it was pretty good when I ate my cookies it was yum when we went back to school I give my cookies to my Mum and Dad.  

Kane Compare and Contrast Picasso's 'The Weeping Woman' and and Daniella Hulmes 'A lazy day in paradise'.

On Monday the 14th of may we wrote about Compare and Contrast Picasso and Daniella too. The Weeping Woman look like she was sad and crying because it look like someone died. Picasso does random drawing and colourful colours it just look real because it look 3D. The technique that Picasso used was changing his drawing and making it different.

A lazy day in Paradise Daniella draw samoa patten because she married to a samoan Man. She like to draw samoa patterns and it look like it was the same one because it all seem the same because Daniella all way in the picture but she look kind of sad because she was alone. Daniella used different  technique it was special kind of brush stroke technique.

Henry Matisse and Van Gogh

We were asked to compare and contrast paintings by Van Gogh and Matisse. The paintings were called ‘Sunflowers’ and ‘La Musique’. Vincent Van Gogh used a special kind of brush stroke technique. He chopped off his ear and give it to his girlfriend but she didn't like it so she chucked it away because she was scared. Van Gogh chopped off his ear for nothing. Matisse's drawing are rough and colourful.

When I observe Vincent Van Gogh's painting,  the sunflowers look dead, burnt and sad. It looked like Vincent Van Gogh never look after his sunflowers. He used brown, yellow, and green. The background colour looks light yellow or brown.

Matisse drawings are kind of messy and his artwork looks very rough. He drew two ladies. One was with a guitar and one was sitting down. I like the background because it was like a cold shady place with the leaves.

Both paintings are opposites because one looks happy and one looks sad. La Musique is the happy painting and Sunflowers is the sad one.

Mihi mihi

This Mihi mihi is all about me. We had to say a speech in front of the class. I hope you enjoy it.

One tree hill

On Monday I went to one tree hill with my brother and cousin. I got my skateboard and went down the hill it was pretty hard the only trick that I did was an ollies. When I went down the hill my cousin Dallas fell of the tree and he broke his leg and I came and got my uncle Preston and he rang the ambulance.

My Dad and I went down to get the ambulance to get Dallas at the hospital as fast as we could. His leg was in pain and he was going in to a shock my Dad told the ambulance that Dallas was at the skate park. They got their tools and the bed to put him on so they line up the leg and put him on the bed and took him to the hospital and then we went home and look after our little cousin.

We waited and waited until we get a phone call from our uncle. At nighttime 11 o'clock we got a call that Dallas was ok so we went to the hospital on Saturday we saw him sleeping and he was fine he had breakfast. So we went back home and had a rest and Dallas went home.   

Camp concert

On Tuesday I went to the camp concert. My team and I were watching people dancing on the stage and then it was my team to dance. We went hard out but our one was a bit hard. Our dance was from the movie ‘Boy’ (Poi e). I was so shy that I wanted to go off but then my dance finished and I was so happy that I got off.

It was the next team and their one was pretty good. Lepa’s team song was ‘hey baby’. And then they got off the stage and the judge was thinking that who won and then they called out who came 4rd, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st. The Respect Squad came 6th and the Respect Crew came first.
