Thinking Ahead

Focusing hard as though it's her last time to compete in the Olympics.
Concentrating constantly and trying to aim for the middle of the target.
Concern is written across her face as she tries to figure out a way to win.
Thinking is all they can do in a situation like this, especially in the 2012 Olympics.
Their hearts beating fast as they nervously think about a strategy to hit the middle of the target.

My special place art

My special place is Mania Marae, Coromandel. This is my favourite place to be because it is where my family is buried. This is a great place to visit because the very special people that once were in my life are buried in that particular space.  Also I used to have picnics with my great-grandfather. 
The artist I have chosen is a French artist called Henry Matisse. His unusual technique involves using bright colours. This particular artist is my favourite because I like to use bright colours in my art too.  

Term 2 Reflection

It is the end of term 2 and already near the holidays. Hooray it’s time to think about what it was I had learnt this term. Well I have learnt about responsibility and learning how to do different things at different times.

This term I have learnt about different artist and their use of style in their art and about their life. There are different artist I have learnt about and there are 5. Henri Matisse who is famous for his use of bright colours and patterns. Vincent Van Gogh didn’t become famous until after he died. His sister-in-law had the honour of showing his painting to the world, that’s how this unusual artist became famous. Daniela Hulme is a New Zealand artist who is Dutch she paints tropical artwork and she got her inspiration from her husband that is Samoan. Pablo Picasso is famous for his unusual painting that he created with different shapes and also from different perspectives. The last artist I have learnt about this term was Claude Monet, his style is Impressionism. It is a really unique style.

Sports and education is what I had learnt  this term and the past 7 years and even this year being a year 8 student. This is the last year at Pt England School as I am moving on to the next year in my life.

This term has been very interesting learning about different artist and their unique style. This has been an interesting journey and it will be even better when we have the art expo tomorrow or on Wednesday. I guess it was a very interesting year so far.

Hansel and Gretel (Features of Narrative)

In a royal castle two little children called Hansel and Gretel opened the castle door and peeked outside. The weather was filled with sunshine. Hansel and Gretel have blonde hair and both had pale white skin. Hansel and Gretel were twins so they were the same age and they are 9yrs old. Their father had passed away, so their mother the queen of their home town had to look after them.



Running outside the little children came across a gingerbread house.

Chewing and chewing on the delectable treats, Hansel had grown fat. The wicked witch had tricked the poor little kids into eating the fat and unhealthy treats. Getting bigger and bigger the witch had ruined the poor little kids mind.

Suddenly a man who came out of the mist had been walking in the forest. Then he heard the sound of kids screaming. Apparently he knew the kids  was a very good friend to them. So he sneaked into the house and right in front of him was a cage that Hansel and Gretel had been captured in.

Just before the friend of the kids had done anything he was trying to figure he was going to rescue them. It was alright because the kids already had a plan. They had their own way. As they thought of  a plan they waited for the wicked witch to open the oven. When the witch had open the oven it was time to use their plan.

These weren’t ordinary kids. They had strength to twist the bars and break free. They both had powers to read other peoples mind. So they used their powers to set themselves free. They pushed the witch in the oven and quickly ran outside and found their  home. Their mother really missed them. They lived happily ever after....

Static Image 2

A static image is an image that lacks moment and also has a message in it.  This photo is a static image because its a still image. This is about a cat who is playing on the grass. The little cat has blue eyes. This photo to me is the cutest photo ever.

Kittens to me is the cutest pets ever. The person who captured this photo is capturing the happy moments of the pet’s life. The background is the grass and the subject is the cute little kitten. The shot is a close-up and it's very real.

Looking at the colours it makes the cat stand out a bit. The grass is a bit dull. I think that they put the camera on top so the cat would look little.
