In passion poetry and Paint we are learning about responding to an image by writing a poem and responding to an poem by painting a picture of how we see the poem. I'm painting a harbour painting in response to a poem Mr King gave us.

Shakespeare Y10 blogging and term 1 classes reflection

Check out my Shakespeare class here

Shake it up with Shakespeare class was a class that helped me gain confidence in front of people with the acting and performance. We are learning about Macbeth at the moment  and acting out some of the scenes in groups in the drama room.

Check out my what's in the news website

My class helped me with investigation and science. Also helped me improve my writing to make it more interesting. We are also learning how to do news reports on video. We are learning on Tsunamis , earthquakes. all based in New Zealand and other parts of the world. The main focus can be Natural Disasters , top stories , or Viruses. 

Numeracy 

Workspace: Numeracy Y9/10 - Mon/Tues

In this class it has helped me improve my maths skills. Some of the equations are ones I've learnt already from year 8. But some of them have become new to me. I got an alright score on my test this week some of the questions where almost all right but the only thing was that I put all the letters and numbers in the wrong place then I would have got a Higher score. 

Literacy

Most of it is easy for me because I'm already A skilled writer and a new challenge for me is writing a speech based on Anzac day. It is going to be more of a long piece of writing then a speech there is a prize for the best piece of writing. I don't think i'll go for that and instead focus on my writing and write about Anzac. For Practice.

                                    a here is  my haiku poem and picture

      

          Malia’s Haiku

            Tall mountains

           Big landscapes

          Sundunes waving 

            The ruff and

           Rocky makorori

                Sea

         Of ruff and delicate

             

        This haiku is about the experiences in makorori like the sand dunes because when I go there there’s  heaps of sundunes and when it's windy the plants growing wave. And when I mean by tall mountains is like the cliffs because away from the houses you see what looks like a tall mountain cliff. And in Makorori a notice the waves can be big and ruff and you can sometimes see rocks in the ocean at low tide and some people hunt for crabs.the waves can be ruff and delicate because some waves can break easily and others can last longer. The last thing is the landscapes because just before you go down to the beach when you drive out from opihi there is big landscapes from a carpark view.              

   

What is Hone Tuwhare

     Haiku about

               HAIKU 

          What is a Haiku?

The haiku by Hone Tuwhare is about a river snivelling 

Because the water is drying up. And it's supposed to make it sound like a sad feeling. For Example sniveling because its that sound you sound like when your crying because you hear that snorting,sniffing noise .Hone’s Haiku is based on a river being sad like when the water dries up.

         What I picture in my head 

I picture in my head a river or preck in peace but suddenly a sniveling noise fills the air like a creaking bed but you can not stop it. Hail raining causing a flooding water but the sniveling noise laughs again.(this was a thought I didn’t understand so I had a guess)

            

           

How does Hone describe snivelling?

I think he describes snivelling as the water is 

Despairing I think it's the noise its making while its

drying.

I was away for the magpie task


here is my story for hairy Maclary story 

 Breehilda the sassy cocker spaniel diva

 Was out and about

 Finding something to chase, something to scare

 until she came across

Lulu smelly and yuck

Was pating a ball while

Breehilda was getting ready the growl

 chasing her to the other side of  the fence 

Then she

Lifted  her alone 

All scared  in fright

Breehilda the cocker spaniel 

Bounced into

Millie mongine

Skinny and silly’s

Lawn

 hiding behind the shed  where Mille mongine

Was chasing a rat

when  Breehilda began to 

snap

Breehilda gave her a fright chasing

her up onto a tree

Barking and chuckling as she 

Left her alone

Breehilta the cocker spaniel 

Went

Skipping along 

Breehilta saw a tail 

Chucking she got  ready to pound

Biting and clawing onto tail

It was scarface claw 

RAHHHHHHOWWWWWWWWWW!

In horror and fear

Breehilda

The sassy cocker spaniel diva

Run away

Back past the shops and dairies

All the way home

                                           FOOD!  Everywhere down  The table 

                                    As you can see outside Grandfather is on

                                          The barbecue Everyone is happy

                                    Everyone is parading around the room

                                          That it feels like christmas time

                                      10 minutes later…..  Everyone is tired

                                               Everyone has calmed down 

                                        Soon the  hour will reach midnight 

                                           Soon  10seconds countdown

                                 I can’t wait but Wait a minute i’m asleep

                                     Happy new year!” the neighborhood

                                                            The Sunrise 

                                 It is dark it is  Quiet there is

                                 No possum, bird, or creature  Stirring 

                                No fireworks or parties on  Everyone is asleep

                                         I rise up like a hot ball of  Fire 

                                      The sky around me is orange and pink

                            Soon after I can see  People waking up to walk 

                   on the beach to see Me by the wide open sea  For today is

here is my sunrise art

first I started with the different types of brown from dark to light after I tried green I did many layers of it but different find the right texture so I tried dabbing the brush onto the hills and I added white to it


here is my money art

the person I choose was Jascinda Arden because she is the new Crime minster of New Zealand
she is hosted a labour party and also was asked to read and comfort her country after an attack the number I choose was 10
my animal was a kereru a kereru is a endemic to new zealand
kereru help  us maintain New Zealand's Native forrest's

I didn't do the matariki art






making a painting for my new years poem.

next time I should try using pencils coloured pencils because colour pencil help with the texture and shade light making it dark to light
I'm either thinking about a sunset or a sunrise for my poem because a sunrise represents the first morning of the new year and the sunset is getting ready for fireworks and waiting for the countdown

I might go for pastel colours for the sunrise or sunset
I am using summer colours because New years is in the summer here are summer colours

A new Idea i've thought of is making my artwork look like a bunch of fireworks


like this here are ideas I found on the internet






I got to choose colours that relate to new years
like

• blue = peace , good heath
• red = love , strength
• fuchsia
• green =  calm, well being
• orange = creativity
• pink = friendship
• purple = wisdom 
• white = 
• yellow = joy and happiness
• Gold
