Litter Blitz

On the 26th of September, Room 24 went on a walk along Great North Rd to pick up rubbish. The one thing that I picked up the most was cigar butts, with my friend Deborah. There was 6 golden tickets to find, but not every class got to find one in there pick up area. 

Where did you pick up your rubbish and what piece of rubbish did you find the most?

DAY 1-2-3 Writing

Sentences:

It all started with a fish, the length of a metre, when he was just born! Slowly, he grew and grew then his mum had to let him go because of how massive he was. He drifted  along the river towards land until he couldn't fit any longer into the rocky walls, that slowly collapse. One tropical morning, he woke up underneath a vacation island in  the middle of the two sides of the cliffs. I bet that they were really moving, they probably could see ripples forming in the water below because I was shaking like a earth quake under water. Know body knows about the gigantic mystery under neath the calm water, when people come swimming they splash right into my haunted eye ball. This is my home now but at least I can go on adventures with my best friend, vac land ( sort for vacation island)

Sentences:

As the girl skips happily over to the swaying trees near by for a graceful picnic , she suddenly ends up teetering on a quaking bridge that leads into a never ending forest. The bridge is lit up by the sun far beyond the horizon that gently greets the nature on the hills while rising like an angel. As broken as a smashed glass, the bridge has wood poking out of its self and is about 5000 years old! Beneath this damaged bridge is a unit of tough rocks, shaped into the words "TURN BACK NOW!" But, she didn't listen to the secret message, she just carried on day dreaming into the enchanted forest. In her mind she thought that this was the only way out, there was no turning back now. 

Sentences:

There is an illusion like old tree that grows magical apples in an abandoned field of broken twigs. When ever you eat the apples, you  get lifted up of the ground gently, and head first into the time travelling portal full of poisoned green growing gas . Drifting forward behind the trunk of the tree, there is a mist of fog pursuing the people getting dragged into the portal. This tree was different to other trees, it contained magic leaves, gas, apples and doors to other dimensions. Gracefully, the orange star shaped leaves rattle in the howling wind followed by a massive storm. BOOM! of thunder, and a FLASH! of lighting hits the land above and it starts to deluge down with speck of hail. Slowly, the world ends, but this magical tree stays standing.

Terror on Dead Street.

As the sun goes deep down into the darkened woods on Dead Street. The wolves awaken the shadow of the ghost, that silently limps down the misty road and haunts the frightened neighbours near by.  Even the leaves of trees shatter with the extreme creeps, one second you see him, next you don't. Mysteriously, a bunch of ghosts pursue him one by one, they just start to appear out of know where! The dead man starts to make a noise that wakens dogs, then they howl as loud as a rock band inside your ears! This is a serious mission on Dead Street. 

Breaking Ice

Sentences:

Swiftly, in North Alaska a pack of wolfs are pushing a strange man dressed up in a brown beanie  and a fluffy coat made out of wolf fur across the iced river that is fulled with deadly living creatures inside. The sled slides gracefully across the river underneath the lite blue sky that rides across to the horizon. As he glides beyond the forest the ground beneath him starts to shatter like crazy! They quickly run to the mountains near by for safe landing. He makes it back in time to see all the sea creatures jump out and splash right back in, at lease he made it back safely.

 

Art attack!

This term all of the classes have been working on their collaborative piece of art work, and also all of the students have worked on their own piece. Room 24 have been learning about Pablo Picasso, we picked him because he has unique art and there is no wrong or right way to do it. On the 17th September also the schools 90th birthday,  every one went outside and sat in front of the hall for the opening of the art exhibition. Here are some photos of my favs and my art. 

MY donut from sewing, I love donuts!

My pillow sewing from Choose Tuesday

This is our classrooms collaborative piece, by the way it is a sun with birds at the bottom ( not a jellyfish)

This one because it has a lot of colours, I like peacock's, diamonds and patterns. 

(This was the only good photo of my art work)

This was really fun to do because art is my favourite subject in school and it was really fun to look at other kids work and seeing how much people buy these things!

Pobble the greatest library

Sentences:

Calmly,  what looked like birds, gather into a flock of books and slip into the shelves like a perfect shoe fit. The sun silently fulls the sky with a lite blend of yellow and orange on the horizon then glimmering lights start to appear beside the moon light. It shines on the city full of tall standing buildings and jazzy music turns on in the crowded streets. Meanwhile,  the little girl buries her head in her adventurous books and feels like she is dreaming when she imagines it.  She calls the book she wants and it comes drifting into her turning hands. Silently, she reads her books in her comfy dark blue chair that is brightened by a lamp that has a black body and a yellow face. At night all the books flutter to their right spots and close their wings tightly.  Then they stick their spines out and hope that someone will be curious to read their adventures they have inside them the next day.  This was no ordinary library.

This is my sick sentences, hope you think I improve them well.

The ball came towards Richie. He jumped into the air. He held out his hands. He was excited. It was up to him.  

Swirling, the ball flew into Richie's hands, highly his team mates lifted him into the sky and he catches the ball, loudly the crowd cheered with excitement. He swiftly sprinted to the try line, then though the ball into the air and jumped onto his mate. Then he ran to his team to celebrate and to see if the kick makes it or not.

Sick Sentences - Sir Edmund Hillary

 Sentences- The man walked up the slope. He used poles. The sun was bright. The sky was blue. He looked forward to the view from the top.

Sir Edmund Hillary victoriously hiked up the steep slippery slope, but the ice was as still as a crystal shining in the sun light.

 His hand's held two long jet black poles that dig into the ice like a nail in a wall. Silently the sun sets into the horizon, and the crescent Moon glows like thousands of glow worms all squishing together into that shape

Later the morning the sky was as light as a blue feather.( The sky was so clear blue)

Edmund finally made it to the top and felt proud of himself, He studies the view of the beautiful world , then stabbed a metal pole with a swaying flag on the very tip on the very top. It danced in the air like a free ballet dancer in a mountain of ice. 

Sir Edmund Hillary- Fact File

This term we are learning about hero's ,but now we are focusing on Sir Edmund Hillary. I did a fact file about him because it is a activity that we have to do. Do you know what else Sir Edmund Hillary did apart from climbing Mt Everest?

International Short Film Festival

Today on the 1st of  August,  Kauri went to the Auckland Civic theatre to watch 14 short film's from around the world, because it is New Zealand international film festival day. I had a lot of favourites but my top 3 are these ones down here.

In this one there was a ball that went down obstacles and flipped, turned and rolled. It was soooooo satisfying as well!

This one because  it had a message of friendship and working together. They got angry at each other because there was a lot happening on the bottom floor and the top floor of each apartment. At the end they worked together to make apartment flats because the old apartments fell down ( it was to old)

Now, this one was the funniest to me because the characters were funny and everything was great. There was a star jumper, boxer, weight lifters, a guy that just came out of his shower drying his... and a fat man on a tread mill! They made a cool musical beat and it got faster and faster.

This was really fun to go to because my friends were there, there was animated and also real life films.

Have you ever been to a short film festival and if you came to the Civic theatre with Owairaka School what one was your favourite one?

Edmund Hillary Character Web

I made a Character web of Sir Edmund Hillary. What I had to do was think of 4 words that describes Sir Edmund Hillary and I had to write why he was those words. You will get it when you look down.

This morning room 24 and many other classes went to the hall to learn about birds and predators and what they eat. We saw a Tui, owl, a giant hawk,Kereru ,But I can't remember the other birds.

One fact I found very interesting was that owl's hunt at night, that is why they have big eyes, It is like night vision goggles in eye shaped!

To look after our New Zealand birds we need to hunt possums our birds predators! Here are some photos.

It was really fun to learn about our native birds!

Pep Talk

Pablo Picasso Art

In room 24 we are studying about a famous artist named Pablo Picasso. Pablo was born in Spain and passed away in France.

Have you heard of him before? I had to pick an art work that I liked that he painted. I like his paintings because they are unique and unlike other artist. Here is the painting that I chose!

And it is not ugly, it is very different and easy for other people to do. Can you see the tears that the lady is crying out?  Do you agree that this is unique or do you disagree that this is unique?
