Painting Techniques

We have been learning to use painting techniques in our landscapes. We used dry brush for the hills and sky. We used dark tones, then mid tones, then light tones to create depth. We used drag for the sea. Then we sketched flying objects on black paper. Next we cut them out and glued them on our paintings. We are proud of our paintings. We hope you like them too.

Karate World Cup

When I went to Australia, I didn’t go for a trip. I went there to compete for the world cup. I stayed at the Parade Inn. We had to walk all the way to the tournament which was three blocks away. I was very tired.

When we got there, we put our Geys on and we got in our groups and did our kata. Kata is karate movements and kumitay is like smack downs too. Then we fought a non contact battle.

There were 1300 people and I came 3rd on smack downs and 1st in kata.

After that we went to the Zoo to celebrate and we went to dinner 5 times in a row.

Parachute Recount

Today Mrs Armitage brought her red parachute to show the Middle school. She chose Keziah to put in on because she is tall and brave.

Mrs Armitage showed us the parts on the harness. There was the altimeter, main parachute and reserve parachute. The main parachute is the first one. For example, when you jump out of an aeroplane the main comes out. If the main parachute does not come out or gets confused with the wires then you can just pull the reserve parachute. You can land without getting hurt. That is why they have a main parachute and a reserve parachute.

There is a little parachute that Mrs Armitage pulled out. She kept pulling until the main parachute came out. She chose 3 strong people to hold Keziah then she let the wind inflate the parachute.

The parachute was fluffy and big. I thought the parachute would be bigger than our classroom. Then Mrs Armitage pulled the parachute back down on the turf and showed us the brakes.

When we were having questions a strong gust of wind came, as if a tornado tore through the school and the parachute pulled Keziah over. We thought she was going to fly away across Manurewa. Luckily the teachers got hold of the parachute. We were all surprised. We all had a great big laugh. Then Itomi sat on the parachute so it wouldn’t fly away.
