MY ARTWORK...

For the last few weeks and months, We have been doing some amazing art work. Mrs M was the one who made up the idea of doing a secret art work. She was thinking that we would put our artwork in the hall so everybody could see it.

First of all we just had to draw some little critter like a butterfly, a spider, a bettle and a lot more stuff. I t was kind of hard for me to to draw all of those little critter because I am not really good at drawing but I tried my best. Now it was time to go to the next level. I knew that it will be harder then the one we were doing. We had to pick one of the little critter and I picked the beautiful butterfly.

When we have picked our little critter, we got a bigger paper and we had to draw our insect on it. It was really hard, so I just got the medium paper and drew my butterfly on it. I kept on making mistakes and I started to sweat like I was on stage. I was sweating because I was in a lot of pressure. i had finally finish drawing it and out lined it with a black vivid. It was time to move on.

I was finally up to the last level. I had to decorate around and inside it. I was kind of easy but it took a lot of time. I was just half way there and I was having a lot of fun. But finally I had finished. It took me plenty of days and weeks just to get this done. Hope you like my artwork.

My explain ready...

Here is a little movie about my word ELYTRA!! Hope you enjoy.

NETBOOKS!!!

Yay, we have finally got our Netbooks. It was so cool looking and feeling it. When we went on fire fox, it was frustrating because it kept saying that it was a problem and we could not get in. When we finally got in our own google docs, we had to check our list of things that we had to do on our Netbooks.

When we had done a little of our to do list, we took a photo of ourselves. It was kind of weird and cool at the same time. It was so cool but the fun would end after 4 weeks. We got these Netbooks just to see if we could look after it and to know what to do when the day has come when we get our very own Netbooks.

Giant cockroaches...

Giant Cockroaches live in the Australian out back. You know when you have found a giant cockroach is if you see dry soil. Giant cockroaches live up to 10 years and the unusual thing is that there mother gives birth to them, not like a chicken who born’s there baby’s in a egg. The mother can only look after them for 2 months and the cockroach will live it’s own life by it’s self. They come out from the ground when it is only raining. If they come out in the sun it will dry out. The only reason why it comes out when it is raining, so it could mate and find it some food.

Jesse Martin...

Jesse Martin




Jesse Martin is a young sailor who travelled around the world solo. He sailed at the age of 17. He was pretty young to sail around the world. He is tough.

He has been planning this when he was 13 years old. He only had 2 hours to sleep because him and his father was busy packing Jesse’s stuff and testing out the equipment. Finally, his day has come.

There were about 300 people that came to say farewell. He thought that it was too much but it was worth it. He left on December the 8, 1998. Some people thought that he was braking a rule by sailing around the world solo in a young age. People could not wait for him to come back. He is really tough to go and sail around the world by himself. He went around the world for 1 year. But something happened. Jesse Martin came back a year later. Everyone was yelling his name. “ JESSE MARTIN “ !!!

He came back at January the 5, 1999. Every body thought that he would not make it, but look now, he is healthy and here. He is a hero to a lot of people now. He is a lucky boy.

The awsome FiaFia night...

Last term we had a FiaFia night. It was about representing your culture and other stuff. I was in 2 groups. The senior Kapa Haka group and the choir. I went the stage 5 times. That was because the Kapa Haka group went on stage 2 times and the choir group went on stage 3 times. We sang 3 songs. They were Octopus garden. Lean on me and our school song Strive to succeed.

When the Kapa Haka group got dressed they were ready to go. When we went on the stage, I looked at the audience and I got staged fright but I had to carry on and start smiling. When we finished our item, I had to go to my other group. When we went on the stage to sing our song i went a little off because I got scared. It was so scary but it was worth it. When we went off the stage, we went to the music room and watched the performencs. when it was our turn, we went on the stage again. We sang Lean on me. It was so cool because that was my favorite song. We went off again and went to the music room. It was our time to shine just one more time. We sang our last song and it was our school song. It was as great moment.

I wished we could rewind that day and do it all over again
