Art Water colour

Kia Ora, today I will be talking to you about what we did for Art/Poetry in Hurumanu. Today in class half the class did water colour art and the other half drew patterns on a paper for or weaving. I was in the water art. For the water art we tried 4 different technique of art Blend, Splat, Drip, Salt.

For the first one witch is blending I used 2 colours Orange and Yellow. For the blending it turned out really well i was very happy with the outcome but the paper started ripping as I was adding water but apart from that I think I did really well.

For splat all you need to do was just grip the tip of your paint brush and then flick i used the same colours for this one. I think this one was pretty easy apart from it going down the same drip as I was trying to drip different ones.

Tapa Art

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog. I will be telling you what I did today for Art. Today for Art me and my class finished doing our Tapa Art  with Ink. If you have read some of my previous posts you will no what im talking about.

For the Tapa Art we added ink to some parts to give it  like I said before but after we have done that we need to add charcoal to it to give it tone.  

Vince Vawlter

Kia Ora today I will talking to you about Vince Vawter. Vince Vawter is the man the wrote the book paper boy. Paper boy is about a boy that has a stutter and thinks hes is different to everyone but then finds out that other people have problem too. Anyway I will be talking about how Vince Vawlter was talking in the video when he was reading from chapter 1-3.


In the video clip I noticed that Vince Vawlter voice was deep and a bit Raspy. But as he was reading it sounded better from him I think because he is the person that wrote it and because hes voice fit perfectly with the character Little man. Hes voice sounded like something was scratching in his throat.

Art Post

Kia Ora today I will be talking about what we are doing for drama this term.

I will be talking about the 3 things that we are learning. The first thing I will be talking about what an Iceberg is but in drama. An iceberg is were you draw a triangle or a iceberg shape and then you put a line and at the top  of the line you put the obvious emotions that the character felt and at the bottom of the line you put what isn't obvious.  

The next thing we did was Role on the wall. Role on the wall is wear you draw a person and write what is important to them/personality. Since we are reading Benny I decided to do it about Benny. Benny I the main character in the story. When I wrote a role on the wall about him I made sure to add everything about him.

The last thing we did was hot seating. Hot seating is basically someone seat on a seat and get asked questions. But they have to answer them in charterer.

Freeze Frames - Week 8

Kia Ora and welcome, I will be posting what I did today at drama. Today at drama class we had to make freeze frames. Freezes frames are were you have a position that you have to keep for 3 seconds. today we did freeze frame about  a book called Bok Choy. There were 6 parts to the story that we had to freeze to. There were 6 groups doing different things. Before that we drew the story and what came do our head when we read the story.

I was in group 6 in my group was Aone, Sidney and Dylan. For my frame I was a tree and the other were acting as the people. Here are some pictures of our freeze frame and the 6 pictures that I drew about the story:.....

Novel study - Paper boy

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog. For reading study I have been changed into a group that is reading a novel called "Paperboy". Paperboy is about this boy named Vince Vawter that grew up with a stutter. For my first task I am going to be writing what I think about the Novel.

What is your first impression about the novel?
My first impression was that the novel look interesting but the cover of the book looked old. But once i read the article about it I got very fascinated.

How do you think this story relates to "Speaking your truth"?
I think that the story is involved with speaking you truth because Vince thinks that he should hide hes stuttering because it is embarrassing. But then he finds out that other people have other things to worry about to so he isn't as embarrassed.

What are you mostly looking forward to in this Novel study?
I am looking forward to reading the first few chapters and reading what he has said about hes stuttering.

Cyber-smart

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog. I will be posting 2 paragraphs about Private and Personal information. I have done a previous document about what you should share online and what you shouldn't. 

Here is my work:... 

Personal vs Private

What information should be shared?

Only personal information should be shared. Things like where you live and
what your last name is shouldn’t be given out to ANYONE. But things like
your first name and what you like to do in your free-time can be shared
because it isn't as private as where you live.

How can you turn Private information into Personal?

First thing you do take out information that is private and then replace it
with words that make sense in the sentence. 

EXAMPLE: My name is Lexi Rush, and I live at 32 Whitehall Road.

Correct way:

My name is Lexi and I live down Whitehall Road.

Reading - Benny

Kia Ora, and welcome back to my blog I will be posting about what I did at reading today. For reading I red a book called Benny. Benny is about a boy that is way different to his friend Benny, and the weekend ends they differently to normal weekends. Here is some more information about the story:...

What are some of the differences between Benny and his friend?

1. Benny is taller

2. Benny is built and his friend isn't

3. Benny likes to play Rugby/sport but his friend would rather watch.

How does Benny's friend feel about his new house?

I dont think he likes it because in the story it says that Benny friend misses him and hasn't seen him in ages but if he still lived down the road he would see him everyday.

How did the boys mother feel about the incident? Do you think her actions a justified? Why/Why not?

I think yes because his mother had to help him swim in the start and that's why Benny's friend didn't want to do it. 

What is the author's purpose in writing this text? How do you know?
I think the purpose is that you shouldn't force people into things they dont want to do because it could end really bad for the person pushing or the person they are going to injure. I know this because in the story it says that Benny's friend doesn't want t do it because the boy didn't know how to swim and the boy was already under them. 

What themes are explored in this text?

I think that outdoors and nature is explored because they always talk about kayaking in the lake and being outdoors.
