A hot summers day

Are my eyes it burns the sun was cooking. Salty sweat dripping down my face as I'm running  to the other side of the field. I picked up my refreshing ,crisp water bottle and had a long sip. I could smell the branches cooking in the sun . The horrible  stench went up my nose.

Tabloid sports day andrea

It was the day for running,sweating and the most time consuming thing of all ''exercising''.It was tabloid sports day.It was so hot my water bottle couldn't even stand the heat.Sweat was dripping down my face into my mouth and ears.I could mostly smell the freshly cut grass that MR Peache mowed the day before.I could even smell the branches from the trees cooking in the sun ''can that happen'' I say.Even when I was working with my team I could smell a horrible stench of warm bodies.Well I  was roasting in the sun looking for shade.It was like a volcano right in front of me.I just wanted to be in the cool shade but I couldn't. I saw kids jumping up and down screaming very loud.I couldn't stop looking at the hot blazing sun.You know if you look at the sun you could damage your eyes.I heard parents kids and teachers screaming ''ngata ngata'' on all the events .When we finished we did tug of war.There were teams and classes.we got ready ''go'' I heard.pulling as hard as could.my hands felt sore.after all that I was so exhausted. at least i had a great time

I am the balloon.




Floating murals of balloons in a misty blue sky.
Wandering where ever it pleases, fiery flames inside.
Racing toward the moon it feels like a rocket ship fiery and fast.
Glaring down there are billions of that feel like light bulbs.
Still, one stand a lone balloon lingering around in the air feeling light and airy.
Us all including myself, feel free and beautiful.Me as a balloon feels like an aeroplane gliding swiftly through the air.

How would you feel if you where a balloon floating through the air?

 Would you feel scared? Or would it be amazing to glide above everything??

Dental Writing

You know those weird white things in your mouth? Well those are your teeth. So listen up alot of things can go wrong with your teeth plaque is caused by eating lots of sugary foods such a lollies.

 The result in this Cavity's,Tooth Decay and sometimes tooth extractions and fillings. To prevent cavities and early tooth decay. You will need to brush your pearly whites.

Using a pea size of fluoride  toothpaste (Note babies should not use fluoride toothpaste). Bush for two minutes every night and morning.

Using different Mediums and shading in Art

For artwork in Room 15 we are learning about different Mediums. Mediums are things that you use to make your art work. A few mediums are:

-Charcoal
-Pastel
-Sketching Pencils
-Paint ect.

We also had to use shading with these mediums. By going darker and darker to lighter and lighter.

Now before i finish i know not many of know what charcoal is so here is a short explanation:

-Charcoal is burnt wood but so light it can break with that smallest pinch.

-Charcoal smudges. Miss Wyllie gave us bluetack to help us erase the charcoal if it smudged.

Here's a short Video of us doing some shading using different mediums.
