Thank you to the Manaiakalani Trust and Stuff


Thank You To The The Manaiakalani Trust and Stuff.

It is the end of the year, and I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the Manaiakalani Trust and members. If it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t have been learning and working with these netbooks. Thanks to the Manaiakalani trust for everything and for making our learning better, easier and much more fun.

What I enjoyed about having netbooks was that our learning was easier and we learnt new stuff.  Other than learning there were games I enjoyed, they were Super tux and Quadrapassel.

My highlight for having netbooks is that we can keep using netbooks until College, it depends on what college you go to though. Having netbooks is cool, we learn and find out new things everyday.

X Factor Coming To New Zealand (:

Have you ever dreamed to be on a t.v show, performing? well this year is a great time to practise for X Factor next year.
Next year there will be a famous t.v show called the X FACTOR. X factor will be coming to New Zealand. People from New Zealand over the age of 14 , will be able to audition and to show the world their talent.
The judge's haven't been decided yet, only one though. Guy Subatian has been picked so far.

The Bush Walk.

It was one of those days in the middle of the year where people go out looking and roaming in the bushes to find strange monsters or creatures. Even if it was raining or if it was a sunny day, they will already be packing. This time it was raining, a girl called Cecilia went out hunting at the bushes with her friend Hainite.

“Hurry up” shouted Cecilia holding the umbrella. They were in the middle of this place where all you saw was bushes and trees, “wait I’m nearly there “ Hainite shouted back. They were in the middle of the bush walk where all you could’ve heard was birds up in the trees, other hunters with their dogs and hissing sounds coming from the other side of the bush walk.

Different sounds in their walk kept on getting scarier and scarier. “Hainite do you hear that?”, Cecilia whispered , “what do you hear?” asked Hainite. Sounds from the bushes started getting louder and louder hiiisss hisss snakes from the trees were  hanging down the branches. “Did you hear that though?” Cecilia whispered again, and still Hainite answered back “no”.

Then they kept on walking, they made it to the other side, where people believed, they thought were all the strange monsters and ugly creatures were. “maybe they are somehow in big caves” Hainite thought. “hahahaha” Cecilia laughed and suggested they should sit down in this big rock and have lunch.

They sat down, “RAAAAH” they heard something from the back, they turned around , and yet saw nothing. They both thought they were dreaming, so then just carried on eating. Something ran past on the other side of the bush and they went to check it out.

They walked and walked, “where is it ” Hainite said with big silly eyes, “it was just a ostridge” Cecilia replied. It just wanted some food, they called the ostridge “Kaloni” . Cecilia and Hainite gave it some food and believed that what they heard about the scary monsters and creatures was just people using their imagination.

“Lets go home now” they said to each other and they exit the bush walk thinking it was a waste of time. But really a good exercise.

THE END (:

Character Description (:


                                          Antonio my little brother ^^                                 

Chubby little legs, smooth black  silky hair, faded dimples and pink cheeks when he smiles is how I will describe my little brother.  But what shows the most on him is his little face with tiny Chinese brown eyes.

Growing up with little brothers and being close is just like feet and toes being close. Antonio my little brother is such a really angry and impatient person , when his food is not given in time he likes to scream crying without any tears, even not one. He is a fan of wiggling,mostly when he is placed down on the ground. Especially While the music plays in the background.

Eating and drinking then sleeping is what my brother likes to do the most. But Because he doesn’t know how to walk he likes wiggling and hollering around the house, mostly in the living room floor beside his own little playing area on the corner.

Since my little brother was 5 months we’ve enjoyed giggling , going places and lying down on the trampoline . But because he is such a little   but a chubby little  baby we don’t really do everything together, like walking around the house together. Now that Antonio is 6 months turning 7 months he goes to kindergarten. We only see eachother 3 or 4 hours a day.

Kiwi Kick Session



Walking through the breeze a bunch of leaves blew between our legs, “yes kiwi kick here we come” I said in my head.

Every Thursday for 5 weeks our class room 22 and 20 go out on the hard court in front of the junior classes for Kiwi Kick to learn new skills and drills for this term.

Throwing, kicking and passing the balls around we continued to do our skills and drills with the professional coaches. As part of the skills and drills we learned and practised  how to drop punt, aiming then kicking and  how we hold the ball.

After learning what and how Kiwi Kick is like we got a opportunity to play a little game of octopus but using the hand pass technique, altogether with the other class, room 20.  Playing octopus in a big group was abit hard.

Although I felt nervous knowing that we had to play Kiwi Kick, at the end of our session I felt awesome.

The Olympic Flag

The Olympic flag (:

Have you ever wondered about what the rings on the Olympic flag symbolizes? The founder of the Olympic games, Pierre de Coubertin first presented the Olympic flag in Paris, Congress in 1914. It is a symbol to memorialize 20th Anniversary of the modern games. On the flag the five rings represents five continents. On the Olympic flag there are six colour, they have meanings for each colours ( the five continents).

Basketball Session

Do you know what basketball is?
Basketball is a sport we play, where we shoot, just like netball.

Out on the courts our class and room 20 participates in a five or so weeks of basketball sessions. Professional players from the Auckland basketball team come to our school once a week teaching us new skills and drills.


Passing, dribbling and jump stopping with the ball is what we did during our sessions. Run they shouted . It was a relay, "aye you cheated" screamed the other teams. But with no care our team finished with first place.

After that we played a game where we had two groups, one with the ball and the other team running around trying to not get tugged by the other team with the ball. But if you did we had to sit outside of the court waiting for the next round to come

At the end of our sessions we went back to our classes tired but happy.

"Paradise" in my world

Paradise.



 


My favourite place for my artwork is the local swimming pools in Panmure (swimarama). Swimarama is my favourite place because when we go there every time my family and I are free we all get to enjoy ourselves and play with eachother.

The artist I picked was Claude Monet. The style of Claude Monet suits my picture of how we mix and change the colours from going dark to light . Claude Monet ‘s style is using dots when using colours the blinding.
My finishing touch did not turn out the same as my picture. The fading  and the blending was too dark.  But what turned out good in my painting was that I stuck to the technique of Claude Monet and carried on using the dots and blending with the colours.

The picture above on the bottom is what I choose to paint. As you can see the painting on the top is what I created using the technique of Claude Monet .

Artistic Styles

Fauvism is a used by French artists. The style of fauvism is painted and is known with intense colours and vigorous brushstrokes. Fauvism became more popular from 1905 to 1907. 
Fauvism means “wild beast” in French because of the unusual boldness of their styles. By about 1907 some artist that used fauvism changed their styles of painting. They had been influenced throughout Europe .

in order to do fauvism u will need to squeeze out bright colors straight out of a tube of paint. Fauvism began in a exhibition in Paris in the early 20th century.

Cubism is a style of painting created in the 20th century by Pablo Picasso and another famous artist, in Spain. In order to do this style of art you will have to break up images and paint it in one canvas or paper stuck together, like are collage. The reason why cubism is broken up to pieces and drawn into one is to show what a face looks like from another perspective with details.

Post Impressionist used by British artists were characterized by bright colors, sharp and outlined edges. Post impressionist wasn’t a formal movement or painting style. Artists who used this style was focused on the emotional and symbolic elements to paint. The technique used for this style was tiny dots or stroke of colours.

Today new artist continue to emerge and to develop.

Class Statistics


In Room 22 we have been learning about Statistics. For Statistics we had to ask our class of what colours and things we like doing better. I had to ask the class what colours they like and write it into a document we had to create. After writing the things down we had to put it in this spreadsheet where you can make a chart. The Picture above is what I made. It shows that Blue is the most popular colour in room 22.

But the left hand side person shows that when you want to talk you are meant to put ur hand up and wait for your turn.
