The Intense Archery.....

Focusing on the target he gets in perfect position ready to get the smack dead in the middle. With focus in his eyes an the tension was high he lets nothing or no one get in his way. The fire in his eyes could show the concentration and sweat trickling down his cheek. Trying to shoot accurately and precisely cutting through the wind for a hundred percent shot.

Olympics 2012.....

This Morning we watched a video , about the Olympics that is going to be held in London. We learnt about the events and where they will be held. When we watched we also saw new venues and historic places.   The sports that I am expecting and like to watch is the , 100 meter sprints and also the boxing. There will be amazing athletes competing in big events.    My favourite athletes that will be attending is Usain Bolt , and Valerie Adams. They are both amazing at their sport. Also they will be defending their gold medals against tough opponents.    Usain Bolt is a fast sprinter from Jamaica who currently holds the world record for the 100 meter sprints.

My Beautiful Room


My favourite and special place is in my room. I like my room because it is very cool. It is like my personal space, filled with clothes and my games and all the things I enjoy. I can do so many things in my room. If I am sad or angry I just go to my room and chillax.

My room is where I have my rest before big events. The room is where I watch my favourite programs and watch important news from TV3 news. I chill and play wrestling with my mates and play submissions.

My artwork is based on the artist Oscar Claude Monet. I like the way he uses little vertical brush strokes in his art. I used some vertical strokes in my painting. Also I used some blended colours and interesting contrast.

Taonga Time

The beep test was canceled and YAY me and some of the boys went. Oh let me fill you in. Every Fridays the years 7 and 8 always rotates with different classes. The classes are, Sport with Mrs V, Music With Mr J, Science with Mr Harris, Movie making with Mrs Lagitupu and Making Catapults with Mrs Squires. We have been spending time with these Teachers. The class i'm in is sport with Mrs Vaafusuanga.

In sport we have been set task to make a player profile on our favourite sportsperson. We had to pair up and work as a group and work together for this project. The maximum of people in each group is two at a time. My Partner is Potaua. He’s doing Matthew Bowen a league star and I’m doin Derek Rose number 1 for basketball nba.

The beep test is an physical fitness test. It has levels and gets harder and harder. At this rate I think my fitness level is probably level 6. You have to run up the netball courts and back before the beep goes. If you don't make it back in time then I’m afraid you're out.

Sport is very very cool, but very competitive at the same at the same time. Sometimes there are rivalry in sport but at the end they become friends. It uses physical and mental strength. it is very fun.

AFL...

Recently Room 21 have been going to sessions to learn about AFL. AFL stands for Aussie Football League. We learnt heaps of new and handy skills. As we go each week we always build up on our experience of this game. Me i’m still sharpening up on my skills.

The first thing that we learned when we were there was the drop punt. Oh and when you go to kick you always keep the laces on the ball away from our faces that’s one tip. If you want your drop punt to be successful then, when you go to kick it drop it as low as you can. But don’t let the ball touch the ground. when it falls make sure that it is just above ground. Then just give it a little punt then it would travel to the other person.

The other skill that we learnt was the hand pass. This skill uses timing and precisions to ace it. If you do this then the ball will go successfully in the air. This experience is very good for the future. When i'm older when Probably play NRL rugby league i might get a offer from AFL, and I will already know a bit of skills.

I think that AFL is a completely different to rugby but its still fun.

Once again we have been assigned to compare and contrast but with different pieces of artwork and two different artists. The two piece of artworks we are comparing is the ‘Lazy Day in Paradise’ from Daniella Hulme and the ‘Weeping Woman’ from Pablo Picasso. They both use unique types of painting. Like Daniella Hulme’s type of painting is modern painting and Pablo Picasso’s type of painting is Cubism.

Well let me put it this way Pablo Picasso’s paintings have so many interesting contrasts. On his painting ‘The Weeping Woman’ he paints with different perspectives and angles. Wait... but that is his style anyways, cubism painting. ‘The Weeping Woman’ has so many opposite colours like yellow and white come on they don’t go. ‘The Weeping Woman’ looks like she is crying because her face just looks so depressing.

Daniella Hulme uses modern themes in her painting. I think that even though she is European her painting of ‘A Lazy Day In Paradise’ shows that she knows how to include her husbands culture. She is married to a Samoan man. Her colours that she uses are tropical and so jaw dropping. In my opinion I just think its a pretty girl lying down in an island on a nice day.

I think they (Picasso and Hulme) are both talented at art. Picasso’s perspectives are pretty out of it and Daniella Hulmes use of colours are so beautiful. But who comes out on top for me is Pablo Picasso. ‘The Weeping Woman’ is just so fascinating.
