London Olympics 2012

London is where the Olympics are being held for 2012. We watched a great video about the upcoming London Olympics. This year, there could be a return from famous athletes such as Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, to defend their titles.

New sparkling venues are very important for the athletes because without venues they can’t compete. So here are some venues for the 2012 Olympics. Wimbledon for the Tennis. City Central for the bike racing and running.   

According to legend, the Olympics were created to honour the god of Olympia....... Zeus. The first olympics were held in Greece. Back then, they didn’t get medals for winning, they received an olive branch.

Ever since the previous Olympics in London (1908 and 1948), I know this year, the Olympics are going to be very close in the events and it will come down to nail biting finishes. The events I am looking forward to are Diving, Javelin, Track and Field and High Jump.

I am really looking forward to Michael Phelps’ return. From USA and only 27 years old, he is a 16 time Olympic medal holder. He is the best swimmer I know. The person I’m looking forward to in the track and field events is Usain Bolt. HE IS THE FASTEST MAN IN THE WORLD!  The lady that I’m looking forward to is the great shot put queen, Valerie Vili. She is the best Shot-putter IN THE WORLD!!!

Brown Brother

In my reading task for this week, I heard a speech called Brown Brother presented by Joshua Iosefo. He really inspired me from that speech.  Because he told everyone that it doesn't matter if your brown, black, white or tan, because we are all a family when it comes to living our life. Thats why he is a prefect at his school. Click on this link to go to the speech.

My Special Place.

My special place is in my room. I love it in my room because I can just stay in there to play on my Nintendo Wii and play my PS2. I can also hang out with my friends and relax on my mattress. My room is the main part of the house for me. I eat in there, I play in there, but I don’t sleep in there. I sleep in my lounge. 

I don’t have my own room. I have to share it with my brother. My sister moved out of the house, so I might get her old room.

I decided to paint in the style of Henri Matisse because he likes to use a lot of bright colours in his artwork.

Term 2 Reflection

Term 2, the term of Art Alive. It has been one of the best term so far from 2012. I just loved learning about all the artists like Henry Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Daniella Hulme, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet and Charles Frederick Goldie. The two main people my class learnt about was Matisse and Van Gogh. Henry Matisse’s style of art is Fauvism. In French it means ‘Wild Beast’. Van Gogh uses impressionist.

Also in term 2, some of the people in the school including me, performed in Point England Performing Arts. Or as I call it, PEPA. I was in the opening performance. How Maui hooked in the earth and we done a haka to follow up. We performed to the school (Years 1-6) at 2.00. Then we performed to the parents at night time. That was the best performance.

Another highlight of the term was our art gallery. The hall was filled with art from years 1-8. They were out standing. All of the artists work was there. Matisse, Van Gogh, Monet, Hulme and Picasso along with Goldie. Only my Goldie artwork from extension was there. Not my class one. I was supposed to do my room but I didn’t take a picture of it. So I didn’t put it  up.

The last highlight of the term was our immersion rotation. That's when had to go to different classes. The first class we went to was our class. We stayed in Room 21 and learnt about Henri Matisse. The following day we went to Room 22 with Mrs Nua to learn about Vincent Van Gogh. The next day, we went to Mr Barks Class to learn the style of Pablo Picasso. His was my best artist. On Friday we went to Mr Slade to learn the style of Claude Monet. Next week on Monday, we went to Mrs Squires for the last day. We learnt about Daniella Hulme. That was a cool rotation.

Term 2 was a mean term of Art Alive. learning about Artists and their styles. I just can wait for Term 3. MEAN MAORI MEAN!!

Hid and Go Seek Part 2

Hide and Seek Part 2:
Previously on Hide and Seek. Patrick had been trying to find Spongebob and Sandy. Spongebob and Sandy had found a castle and decided to hide in there. What happens next? Tune in to find out.

“Spongebob? Sandy?” Patrick yelled. Patrick didn’t hear any response so he went on a tiki tour. They had been walking around and around in circles. So Patrick chose to stay at the door and have a rest. Luckily, he found Spongebob and Sandy. When they were all united, they heard a sound. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! They all waited in silence. When they thought the sound had cleared, they headed for a room. Once they got into the room, they hid in a closet. The three friends couldn’t hide forever so they took a peek out of the closet. When they peeked out of the door, they saw A HUGE KRAB.
They saw him eating a big patty. He called it the Krabby Patty. He was eating away. Suddenly, the three took off and headed for the door. To be continued........
