Every Thursday I go to Technology with my mates and we learn a lot of different things. Like speaking different languages, cooking and hard materials. We learn a lot of intresting things at technology like to cook really delicious food make a lot of interesting objects like little trucks and bird houses.
This term I am in woodwork and it is very cool because we are building a box that we can either put our money or jewelry into. Or just make it into a normal box. Our teacher is really strict and his name is Mr Grundy. When someone talks he always tries to just get our attention.
What I am making is a secret drawer so I can hide my valuable things in it. I think what I am making is going to be really fun because we get to use a lot of building tools like hammers, chisels and a lot of other interesting tools. I really like woodwork, it is a very very awesome thing to do, you learn a lot really good things.

Comparing and Contrasting
We have a very easy task assigned by our teacher. The task is to compare two famous paintings by the famous artists Henry Matisse and Vincent Van Gogh. The paintings we are comparing are Henri Matisse 'Sunflowers' and Van Goghs 'La Musique'. Vincent Van Gogh and Henri Matisse were both talented artists who had different styles of painting. Henri Matisse has a painting style that is called Fauvism and Vincent Van Goghs painting style is Expressionist painting.
To me, 'Sunflowers' is a very dead painting because it looks like there is no life in it. When I see it, it makes me feel sad. The painting makes me feel sad because it has no bright colours, its just dark shady colours. Its sort of like a dead plant but it is still alive. I think that this painting is about his life on when he was in distress about the things that were happening to him. However he did get really famous because his sister in law told people to buy his paintings. People started to buy his paintings and that is how he became a very famous artist.
'La Musique' is a very interesting painting. It has a lot of bright colours, shapes, and lines. I think that this painting is telling people that they were having a really great time singing, celebrating or learning a really great song on the guitar. Henri Matisse believed that colours had healing powers so when his friend was sick Matisse drew a lot of paintings with very bright colours to help his friend heal from his wounds.
There are'nt a lot of things that I can compare with Henri Matisse and Van Gogh. But I think that what they both have in common are really great paintings. Also what I think they have in common are when I look at some of their paintings it make me express my feelings. The things different between Matisse and Van Gogh are there life styles. Henri Matisse had a really good life on the other hand Vincent Van Gogh had a really bad life and some of his paintings represent his life.

My Holiday
My holiday was awesome because we did a lot of work in our backyard and it is huge. It is about 27 meters long and our grass was about 1m long. My brother and my dad and I were making our backyard look clean. It took us three whole days to make it perfect.
What we had to do was use the weed eater on the grass, then rake it into a bag and when the bag was full of grass, we dumped it in our garden because the grass is good for the soil. My dad and I also did the lawn mowing.The responsibility that I took was raking the grass. My brother put the grass into the bag and we would take turns dumping it.
It took us about half a day to one full day. The next day we did a quarter and on the last day we did the rest of the grass. I really liked raking the grass because I had something to do during the holidays it was really awesome.
The best thing of all was at the end because we got paid.

The amazing race
During camp we had to complete a very complicated game and that game was called the amazing race and for sure it was amazing. We had to collect a variety of things we had to collect wood, a really big tin, a wood chip and an egg. We had to get all of these items from different places we got them from places like the local swimming our public beach and our nearby Bakery. All these items that we collected was to make a hobo stove and it was awesome.

Camp Concert
Camp concert was amazing because we came 2nd and it was a miracle. I didn't really think we would come 2nd or 3rd. I thought we were going to come 4th but I was wrong. Anyway there were 6 groups and my group was called the Respectronics. We were the 3rd group to perform. I was really really nervous but when I performed my nerves went away.
The name of the 6 groups were Respectors, Team Respect, Respect crew, Respectronics, Respectables and the Respect Squad. Now what is funny to me is that all groups have the word respect in it. My group the Respectors did the songs 'Pump It' by 'Black Eyed Peas' and 'Clumsy' by an unknown artist.
The display of the concert was okay but it could have been better. We could of added lights, and a little bit more colour to make it fun and enjoyable. The atomsphere of the concert was nerve-racking beceause there were quite a few people there to watch us and I bet some of the kids where getting scared and some nervous and others confident but what I was saying in my head was that when we go on it is finshed.

Camp
The last day of camp was a blast because of the one and only Vodafone Warriors. But before that there was more. On Wednesday 14th March my school Pt England went to Swimarama Pools and it was awesome. We went there for our camp and I thought that when we were going to Swimarama it was going to be raining but it was a hot and dreadful day.
When we got there we saw the massive hydra-slide tall fences and finale the entrance. When we came upon the entrance we walked straight in and the first group to sit down in there two lines was the first group to go on the Hydro-slide but I really didn't want to go on the hydra-slide because it was dark and sore when you go down.
I got in to my line and our team leader Mrs Nua was telling us rules and other things like that. Then we started swimming. I didn't want to go for a swim because it was cold. But later on I jumped in and played with my friends and it was fun. The best game that I liked was NFL because adults were playing and they where really good.
All of a sudden when I caught the ball you could hear “Warriors Warriors” getting louder and louder because the warriors where at the Panmure Pools in the lanes, training and it was EPIC!!!!!!!!! We saw Shaun Johnson, Maun, Simon Mannering and many more. Heaps of kids at camp started to do the haka then I joined in and did the haka then the watched us do it and Manu bowed to us and it was awesome

waking up from a magical dream I suddenly realized that that day was going to be a very winning day because that was the day My team mates and I represented my school Point England in the 2012 softball tournament.
I was all sicked because we where going to our fellow rivals (Tamaki Intermediate) to play a huge softball tournament. Other school in the area were coming to play as well. My team would accepted any challenge even if the New York Yankes asked we would say “bring it on”
because that's how good we think we are .
I was wondering how are we going to get down there until i asked my friend and he said “we are walking” then I just dropped because I just had come from we were going but then I got over it then we moved out.
In my team Was Joe the big hitter , Matthew T the skill, Joseph the big boy Havea the strenght, Matthew R the brains, De’vyne the speed
aidan the learner, lepa the looks, Cruz the catcher and me well Im just a normal.
The very first game we played was against some Intermediate and we won 12 to 7. The next game we played was against Saint Heliers and that was a easy game to and the score 10-2. After that we played Ellerslie and they were tough match beat us by 1 and the final score was 4-5. The last game to see if we make it in to the semi finals was against Slyvia Park and the alright but we won. Once we finished our last game we went to go sit down and waited anxiously for the call to see if we where in the semi and then I heard we have made it and I was saying in my head repeatedly yeah.
Then we played our semi final and we lost 9-11 to chuchill but the game was very intense because we were all hitting home runs because the ball will connect with the ball and it would go far as. But the very last game we lost as well I didn't really care all the boys where tired and sleepy so we just did what could but in the end we lost but we still had a great time and in the end I felt Great :)
