BASKETBALL !

“BASKETBALL”  On Thursday the 28th of July , Room 20 and 22 got the opportunity to learn some skills. We had professional come in to our lovely school to teach us some techniques.


We were taught skills like , dribbling, jump stop and many different kinds of passing. Like for example we learnt the , overhead, chest and bounce pass. Have you ever heard of a fake pass ? Well I even learnt how to do one of those , well three of them I should say. I got to say Basketball is smiler to Netball, but better.


Well I got to say our basketball session was ! AWESOME ! I really enjoyed myself and I think I'm planning to try out for our school Basketball team.


P.S : It is always good to try something new. Its never about if its for boys or girls. If you believe, you can do anything. ! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE !

Olympic Flag

I wonder who the creator of the Olympic flag was? Well Pierre De Coubertin was the original  person to discover the design of the Olympic Rings. It comes in six different colours , blue, black and red for the top 3, yellow and green for the bottom 2 and they appear on a white base layer. While some people believe that he had chosen these main colours, to represent 5 different continents, on the other hand others appear to believe that these colours come together to represent all nations race. I have read that the colours represent all the athlete that compete around the world in the olympic games

Character Description !

The past few days Room 22 at Pt.England School have been studding on how to write a character description. It has been very difficult for some of us, but we were able to write at least one paragraph. But first we had to practise writing a character description on some one special at school, and I picked my amazing teacher Mrs Nua. I wrote a paragraph about her appearance. ( what they look like ). Here is my paragraph about my awesome teacher Mrs Nua.
 
: Silky short blond hair, up and go attitude amazingly tall. The best thing to describe my beautiful teacher are her big blue eyes when they sparkle in the sunshine.

Sunflowers

For the last past few weeks, we have been learning a new technique in painting, from a famous man called, Vincent Vah Gogh. Vincent Van Gogh was a dutch painter. He was one of the most famous painters in all of history. His technique was about stroking and blending the colours to make it look real. It was pretty amazing how this work is done! But at first when i tired to use this technique it didn't really work out but my finished project was just AMAZING it blew me away! I really like how he makes the colours blend in with each other. Well this is my finished produce I have tried to blend the colours on my sun flower! You should try it for your self, it really got me more into art.

Daniella Hulme.

Daniella Hulme is one of the most famous dutch artist! She was born on the 7th October 1979. When is paints she reflects on two cultures, her own Dutch  heritage and her  husband's Samoan heritage. She uses strong bright colours, and pacific island tapa cloths plus carving. In her paintings there are many creative patterns, and she also knows how to  highlight and shade different places in her paintings.

Since some of us were inspired by her art work, we got to use one of her amazing paintings to see what technique, she uses. We got the pleasure to paint her famous painting called the fruit bowl. For this painting we got to learn how to highlighted and shaded our paintings. It was very interesting how she did it, we got to use it on our grapes we had sketched. Her technique were a bit difficult but it our paintings came out amazingly great. I really enjoyed sketching and painting with her technique. Well I reckon you should try it sometime soon, its really fun and your finished project will come out so AMAZING. Just like mine(:

What is LANDSCAPE. ?

Vincent Van Gogh.

Vincent Van Gogh was a dutch painter. He was one of the most famous painters in all of history. He painted over 900 paintings, but unfortunately he only sold one painting in his lifetime. Which was the Red Vineyard. Not soon after he took his last breath and passed on, which was then when his sister in law took his paintings and tried selling them. That was when he became a world famous artist.
 
He was born on March 30th 1853 as was raised up in Groot-Zundert near Breda Nederland. At 16 years of age Vincent went to hogue to worked for his uncle, the art dealer. As he passed on Vincent's brother Theo carried on his uncle's job, then became Vincent Van Gogh next art dealer. In 1878 way before Vincent Van Gogh became an painter he was preacher just likes his father in Southern  western Belgium.
