My Mosaic art!

This is a pic of my first digital Mosaic! Do you like it? Can you guess what it is?

Session 1 and 2 writing.

A crow swooped across the majestically displayed rainbow Milky Way. It let out an ear splitting caw before flying a full circle around the outline of the gleaming moon. It swung around and flew straight into the old rickety castle. It turned left, then right, then left again before coming to a stop in a run down hallway and landing on a cloaked figure's arm, my arm. 

I lift my arm and pat Arnold on the head. “Good boy!” I tell him. He has just delivered me news that is too important to miss. I checked the pocket watch in my hand and let out a small gasp, so much time has gone,our time was running out! We only had a matter of minutes left! I walked into an old bedroom and peered out the window and just as I had suspected it was about to start. At least I still had the pocket watch to keep me safe! I leant further out the window and the watch slipped from my hand and landed on the grass far, far below.

Arnold, I instructed as I handed him a small golden key, “Open the watch, find the miniature moon and bring it back”. Arnold cawed in reply and I lowered him out the window. I watched as Arnold swooped down around the watch. He lowered the key into the hole and broke it open. He lifted up the miniature moon inside. I had been chasing it all day. Now, Arnold had it. He flew back up to me and dropped the moon in my hand. I studied it. It was so perfect, so smooth and so bright and it seemed to attract dust into it’s sparkly aroma. When I told Arnold to get the moon out I thought it would be too much. I mean how did he open it? Even I couldn’t! I sat down on the bed and tucked the moon into my bag. Arnold flies over and I give him some treats. He lies down on my lap and I examine him, but there's nothing different about him to any other crow I’ve seen except for the fact I can understand him but I can’t understand any other birds. I set him down in his nest next to the bed. I shut the window and flop on my bed. I tried to save everyone but they didn’t listen and wouldn't believe me so all I had to do was wait till it was all over. 

I wake up with a jolt, like an earthquake but stronger and fiercer I scramble off the bed and grab the moon out of my bag. As soon as my skin touches it it’s easier to stand I snatch up a terrified Arnold and hug him and he moon to my chest. I lie back down on my bed and hope that the moon will be enough to save not only me but Arnold as well.                                                               

When the shaking and violent gurgling noises had died down I hopped off the bed and Arnold flew onto my arm, I pulled my pitch black cloak over me and walked slowly down the stairs. As I was walking I carefully tucked the moon back into my satchel, It was no longer glowing as all its power had been used up saving us. The moment I broke out into the cold night air I gasped, all the houses, cars, buildings and people had been sucked into the earth. I had predicted this would happen but It just looked so terrible, so lonely! It was devastating but I had warned them, told them that they would be safe if they followed my instructions but no one listened. I looked back at my Castle, the only building still standing. “Arnold” I said “Fly” I raised my hands above my head and let his claws sink into my skin. Soon we were flying over treetops, well more like what used to be treetops and was now bare planes. We landed on a beach and I embarked on a journey across the ocean, as Arnold was too tired to fly with me anymore I simply made a raft out of my cloak keeping it wrapping around me but sitting on it as well. As we passed what used to be towns and cities, even some countries were gone, being too tiny to stay afloat, no one had listened, I was so so sad, all these innocent people, if they had just listened to me they would still be alive today.

That is my Session 1 writing here is my Session 2 writing:

Sophia stood under an impossibly beautiful umbrella surrounded by a thick Navy sky. She reached her hand up into the umbrella, her hand plunged through the intricate cloud design. When it came out it was holding a fluffy white cloud, she let go of it and it started to rain, just inside the umbrella. It was a raining umbrella!  Sophia waved her hand over her daydream blue dress and golden hair, the water seemed to avoid hitting her, her blue glasses sparkled as she continued to walk. Soon water began to puddle at her feet. Sophia flung the umbrella away and it was whisked up by the wind. The Navy blue sky faded into a dull gray, white light crept in illuminating trees, old fallen down branches and a old rickety castle. 

Sophia nimbley ran through the dead forest. She came to a stop outside the castle, the roof had caved in and most windows were shattered. One of the wide french doors was hanging off its hinges and the other had a wide gash in it. Sophia pushed the broken door and it clattered to the floor, she cringed and scurried back behind the other door. She peered through the wide gash but all she could see was an old smashed trophy case, a broken clock and a beat out run down rug, Sophia was about to step out when she heard it… Whispers behind the door! Sophia gripped her hands together and snuck into the castle, she walked with an air of confidence in where she was going. She turned left then right then right again till she came to a blood red door. Sophia slowly pushed it open and stepped in. Inside was a boy with long raven black hair pushed back out of his eyes, emerald green eyes that sparkled with intelligence, he was sporting a light green t-shirt and yellow pants, he had a silver wrist watch which he checked. “Hello Sophia! You're late.” Sophia laughed “By one second James!” “What can I say? I'm a perfectionist, being perfectly on time is definitely on my agenda!” “I know I know! Now why did you call me here? What's the problem?” James gestured to the screen in the middle of the room and Sophia walked over to a bean bag in the corner, once comfortably nestled inside of it James flicked the on screen. 

A city filled to the top with water flickered onto the screen, “You did that.” James said matter of factly. “Yeah but the portal is pretty hard to ace and this is what the city’s for, even you do that.” She motioned to the screen “No matter how many times we fill that city up it will just drain out again, I mean they're used to it. It’s how the world works, other people use this city too.”  “I know I just wanted to show you how high it is this time! The water is rising. Soon, everything will be underwater.” Sophia reached out her hand and waved to a turtle that was on the screen. “I know that's fine, at least Alex is happy, normally waters are so low there….” “Yeah Alex loves it there, I think she had babies!” “Cool but what's the real problem?” James sighed, “This.” He changed the picture on the screen to one of a man and a child frozen “Oh… did Max try to bring his kid with him again?” “Yeah.” “Well first of all he should know that unorarised people can’t use umbrella transport and you can’t have two people on the same umbrella!” James shook his head, “He just can’t get his head around it, can you help…. Again?” Sophia laughed, she stood up from the bean bag and ran her hands along the peeling yellow paint on the wall, “Yes, but his daughter will need medacin, being stuck like that twice and so young isn’t good for her.” James smiled and clapped his hands “Great! Water medicine or…?” “Water, now where are they?” 

James clicked a button and the screen separated revealing a room, in the back of the room was what looked like a block of ice with two people trapped inside, one looked no younger than 8. Sophia and James walked up to them, James cracked knuckles against the ice and a loud tapping side echoed around the room “Hard as rock impossible to break!” Sophia smiled and slid her hand through the ice, it rippled like water, her gentle fingers gripped the girl's arm and pulled her out. James dragged a bed into the room and laid the girl on it. Sophia slid her hand back into the ice and hauled the 45 year man out. After they’d laid the man down Sophia reached into a tank and scooped some water up into her hand, she sprinkled it on the girl's face. Suddenly the girl's eyes shot open, “Hello Emma” Sophia said calmingly, “Your dad shouldn’t have done that.” Emma’s dad opened his eyes “I really want her registered, Sophia!”

This weeks art!!!!

 

This week we have been doing Notan art  at school. This is my third one, we are doing this one with a colored background. You rip up bits of paper (Colored) and glue them down. I haven't finished yet but I will post with my finished art after.

Notan art is a form of art that reflects the negative and positive space,  the black space is negative and white is positive (I am covering my white blue on this one).  The picture above is about two foxes meeting in the middle of the separation of light and dark.

I really like Notan art, I think I will do more of it later on when I can design it really really well. It was a bit hard cutting out some shapes!

If you want to make one you will need: 

Scissors

Glue stick 

A pencil

A white piece of paper

A black piece of paper

Here is a video about how to do Notan art!

Link.

Here is a photo of a very detailed Notan art that has been done by someone with lots of practice.

Whoosh a rocket shot through the bright blue except it wasn’t the sky, it was a very noisy and busy street. Neow! Tim dragged his toy rocket through the air as he weaved between his mothers legs; he was an astronaut on the way to Mars, he was going to be famous, the first man on earth to reach Mars! Suddenly Tim stopped dead, his eyes glued to a coin operated rocket ship ‘Yes!’ he thought ‘Yes, this will take me to the moon! I’m ready, I’ve got my space helmet on and my NASA badge!’ “Come on Tim!” his mum pulled at his arm. “No mum please can I go on this?” Tim begged his mum, but before she could say, ‘No!’ he had scooped a 5 cent piece out his pocket and plopped it into the slot. Then he jumped into the rocket, his mum sulted to him with a formal salute.

Mud Run!

 Last Wednesday I went to the tough guy-gal Mud Run! It was super fun, I would definitely do it again! Big thanks to Rachael O'shea and Sam Lyons the amazing teachers that made this happen!

“Bang Bang Bang!” I look around and start scratching at my box; I was just in the animal shelter eating my lunch and minding my own business when this lady with ginger hair and a pink sweater came in.  She talked to Sam, my keeper, then he unlocked my cage and she picked me up! I was furious but before I could bark at her she stuffed me in this box! Then the strange woman threw me in her car.  It was so claustrophobic there! It was stuffy and hot and I was so cramped.  Now I’m shoved under her sweaty armpit.  It stinks like rotten eggs, boiled cabbage and out of date dog food! “Max, I'm home!” She yells as she bangs through something.  It was too loud.  I whimper as I cover my ears with my tiny paws.  She drops me onto something hard and I yelp but I can’t be heard over the constant banging and pow pow powing from outside.  “Max, stop playing video games and open the present I got you!” video games, so that's what the scary noises are.  Max mumbles something I can’t quite catch.  Finally I manage to haul myself onto my legs but before I can jump out someone lifts the first flap making my job a whole lot easier.  I leap out and land on someone's hard and bony knees.  I looked up into the person's face and let out a bark of excitement, it was Sam! Sam picked me up and went to hug me.  Then he looked down at my missing leg.  Sam grunted then threw me onto the floor.  Off! I landed hard.  What was wrong with my leg? Sam always cuddled me, he never cared that i’d lost a leg.  So I ran up to him barking, “Go away Sophie. '' he said.  So this was Sam, he knew my name! I looked around and saw a shiny red ball under a big wooden cupboard.  A good game of fetch always cheered Sam up.  I knew what I had to do.  I ran forward preparing to squish the ball between my teeth.  Boof! My head hit the cupboard like a wrecking ball, I felt like my head was going to explode! I backed away shaking my head to try and get the horrible ringing noise out of it.  Slowly I edged forwards, this time a little more cautiously.  I reached my head under the cupboard and finally felt the ball squish satisfyingly between my teeth.  I pulled my head out and launched at Sam, he looked at me with a smile forming on his lips.  Suddenly he wiped his head away and his smile went back to a frown.  What was wrong? What was going on? I ran forwards and dropped the ball at his feet.  He kicked it away and it landed in my box.  I launched forwards, but when I got to the ball the box flipped upside down and trapped me! I ran around in hope I could free myself but I just ended up going; Bang! On the coffee table.  Bang! On the couch.  Bang! On the cupboard and Bang! On the TV cabinet! Just as I was about to give up I tripped over and the box flipped back open! I ran up to Sam and gave him a pleading look.  “Oh.  Fine!” Sam announced and switched off the game he was playing.  “Come on, let's go play!” He picked up my red ball and put it in his pocket.  Then he lifted himself onto these big metal things, I looked down and he was missing a leg too! I was confused, this person looked like Sam but Sam had two legs not one! Then I realized this wasn’t Sam, this was Max! Max threw the ball for me and I raced after it.  “I’ll be outside!” Max called too his mum, I ran back to him with the ball in my mouth.  Max bent down and scratched me behind the ear “Good girl” he announced.

Samantha.

A sneak peak at my writing!!!!

The legend of Wairaka

One day long long ago, after traveling around New Zealand for many months on end, the Ngati Awa tribe arrived at a stunning beach with pure white sand and glistening aqua shallows. Also in this wonderful place were lime green planes and big pohutukawa trees, their trunks covered in a rich dark brown color and their red flowers were like sunset diamonds. Tui’s sang joyful notes of song from within the trees which they were hiding.  The water lapped against their Waka as chief Toroa led all the men off the boat and through the lush lime green grasslands to explore this wondrous island and find a safe place for all the women and children they had left aboard to stay.

 This is a part of my Wairaka legend retell, I will be posting the full version later on this week! I found spelling all the Maori words quite hard! In my next steps I would, put more descriptive words in. I liked I when I weaved parts of my story into other parts! Do you like my story so far?  Samantha.

Do you have quality blog posts?😀

These are my Traffic light slides, in these slides I chose a student from another school for example I chose Lucy from Wesley Intermediate then I went onto Lucy's blog and the traffic light system to see if she was a smart learner! I found it hard to decide on the 3rd statement, punctuation but I pulled through. My next steps would be to mark my own work.

I would love to perform again!

My favourite writing.

Ben slammed his eyes open, he shivered as the freezing night air infiltrated his pyjamas. He stood up shaking the snow off himself. He looked around at what looked like Antarctica but with trees.  “Creek” the deafening sound made Ben whirl around and nearly scream, a giant glowing red mansion surrounded by mist and bats was towering over him, creaking in the wind. Ben took a step back and banged into something causing him to tumble face forward into the snow, Ben scrambled up and turned slowly around to see what he had crashed into. Ben blinked his eyes he couldn’t believe what he was seeing, an ever growing wall pushing towards him towards the haunting mansion, closing in from every side. Ben took a step forwards vigilant in every direction careful not to let the wall hit him again, then the wall decided it was bored of waiting and speed up forcing Ben into a jog then a fully fledged sprint, as he made it to the house he rapidly knocked on the door. Suddenly the house contorted itself into an unknown shape, it was then that Ben let our an ear splitting scream!... 

This is my favourite bit of writing I've dun this year so far.                                                                               It was easy to write cause my ideas kept coming out in front of me, I loved writing the ending cause I could put a twist in the story. Do you like my writing? Whats your favourite part?                                                        Samantha.

The empty boots.

All was silent in the forest. Not a breath of wind could be felt or heard.

A blanket of crisp, crimson leaves lay on the forest floor,avoiding the boots that sat still on the forest floor, and a faint earthy smell wafted through the tall, bare-branched trees.

The serenity of the scene was gradually broken as the empty boots began to come to life. The soft, brown leather seemed to flex, as if something had slipped inside them. The leaves rustled and crunched beneath them, as one of the boots miraculously took a step forward…

Do you like my story? If so comment about it. Whats your favourite part?

The Mysterious shadow.

 Stiffly, Macky slid around the corner keeping her back glued to the lime green fence. She ducked as a car roared round the afraid they would be able to hear her thumping heart from inside, it. Was night and the silvery moon was casting thin beams of moonlight on the lonely street. Macky was a trained spy and her mission was to sneak in and find out about the black market happening at 48 March St. The street lights flickered on lighting Macky up, she back flipped and cartwheeled out of the light until she was standing under the lock of number 48s fence, quickly she pulled a bobby pin out of hair and picked the lock. The gate swung forwards and she stepped in letting her guard down for a second. Suddenly, out of the shadows a man grabbed her in a headlock holding a knife to her neck! But Macky was smarter than him; she grabbed his muscular arm and swung him over my head, sending the man thumping to the ground.

This my Mysterious shadow writing! Do you like it? I hope you do. Comment about your favourite bit! Samantha.

In the tunnel 2

  

This is my in the tunnel writing 2 , it took a long time to make! have you made one? Samantha.

It was midnight as I made my way across the soft silvery gloom of the ocean, “Ellie” my brother's cool calm voice was not more than a whisper “Look.” I turned my head to where he was pointing to none other than a beautiful great white shark swimming towards us. “Oh Isaac” I gasped, he had always wanted to see a shark up close. “It's beautiful!” Just as the word left my mouth there was a shout “Shark! Shark! Catch him Ryan! Catch him!” the word shattered the silence that had been hovering over the ocean,

There was a splash and the water around the shark rippled and the realisation of what was happening hit me like a raging bull. They were going to catch the shark! I turned just in time to see Isaac jump into the water “Isaac!” I called as I jumped in after him. Suddenly everything was a blur one second I hit water the next I was tumbling down a tunnel then I was lying on the ground with a beautiful woman shaking me the world was spinning then black.

The water splashed on my heels as I sat on the rocks watching the waterfall crash down on the innocently glistening waters bellow.

My friends are jumping around me playing tag and encouraging me to join in, I ignore them, watching the water where cute eels are poking their tiny heads in and out making tiny ripple in the soft still waters away from the thunders of the thumping waterfall.

As my friends headed off to explore the bush I slid my slim body off the rocks and into the crystal clear water. I swam towards the waterfall and behind it I saw that where there should have been rocks there was a tunnel, not a big tunnel like in movies but a small tunnel that looked about the right size for me to slither through! I took the chance and swam forward, as I swam through the waterfall the saltwater stung my sparkly sapphire eyes. I wiped them clear then swan into the tunnel, it’s walls glistened with diamonds of all colours as I got further into the tunnel it got bigger and bigger until it was big enough to stand in! As I walked along the tunnel my bright turquoise togs started snagging on the branches and roots growing out of the walls. I unsnagged them and keep walking, suddenly I tripped over a root and fell to the floor slamming my head down hard. When I finally opened my eyes again the whole world swam before my eyes finally settling down, I was in a little cave there was a pile of fresh girl clothes on the floor suspiciously I picked them up and put them on. 

I could hear water pounding on top of the den I must be under it, I walked around the cave looking for a way out, there didn't seem to be one! Just then the roof opened and a woman with a little girl of round about 10 entered. “What were you doing out there?” the women rang high and shrill “You could have been killed!” “I..I..I didn’t know!” I stammered “Everybody knows it's dangerous out there don’t you know anything!” the little girl spoke softly but with a determination to get her point across. I stared at the woman waiting for her to tell her child that it was to say that, when she didn’t I filled in the silence with a question “What is dangerous out there?”. The woman turned completely ignoring my question, she started walking to the far wall then turned around “You girl what's your name?” she shot the question at me like a bullet “I ah” I stumbled over the words before finally blurting them out “ Matilda.” “Well Matilda you can sleep with Ellie in here.” She lent on the wall and it swung outwards to reveal a small sleeping cabin. As we walked into the small room the door swung shut with a “BANG!” and a dingy purple light flickered on. “Sorry about Olivia.” I jumped as the little girl's low voice echoed about the room, “ She had a hard time before she came here, but well she's got me and now you!” I was confused about the statement until Ellie excitedly added “It’s so good to have another child here! Especially a new sis!” I laughed, this girl thought I was going to stay. “Sorry to break your bubble Ellie but I can’t stay. I've got to get back to the waterfall and my friends!”

Emma fled through the castle gates crying, nothing would go her way she thought. She ran past fallen down pine trees and pushed her way through several dead rose bushes and collapsed on the floor of a horrible clearing. It was surrounded by a row of dead rose bushes the grass was dry and there were patches of ground with no grass just dry dirt the, night air made it feel as though she had just stepped into a freezer! There were no trees they had all fallen down crushing the rose bushes underneath them, the only inhabitants the clearing had was a murder of crows. Slowly the clearing around her changed into a forest thick with trees in the clearing it had been the night but in this forest there was a river of sunlight streaming through the trees as elegantly as a swan on swan lake. Emma stood up and started to walking dusting the grass off her robes and then wiping her eyes on the back of them. She stepped over a run down fence,a wild thorn caught at her ankle and she jumped up in surprise and landed on what she thought was the edge of a cliff, instinctively she pushed herself forward getting a face full of mud “Emma” she muttered to herself “you were being stupid it was just a silly thorn!” She stood up and looked around. She was on a bridge and she could see a stream on one side of the bridge but not on the other . She decided to go and investigate this matter. Carefully she climbed down the slope and onto the muddy river bank.There she noticed that there was a drain pipe running underneath the land and the water came out there.Suddenly a crunching sound came from under her foot she bent down to look but there was only mud under her feet she straightened up and suddenly a whirlwind of magic whipped her off her feet her grey robes became gold,her grey socks be came aqua and a violet staff flew into her hands it sent a surge of energy through her as though someone had plugged her into a power point and left her there for a day.As she landed gracefully on the ground she noticed the drain pipe had changed into what looked like a slimy puzzle it was a big multi coloured mess! She walked forward and touched it, the piece under her hand shifted, she jumped and quickly drew her hand away as the pieces began to form something. When they'd finished she noticed that the mess had changed to an eye with water pouring out of the centre of it. Emma stepped closer to the eye, the hollow centre looked like a tunnel, she went to put her foot inside but her sock suddenly went white hot Emma yelped pulling her foot out. She was still curious to see if she could fit her whole body in so she striped her aqua socks off her pale legs and stepped forward.
