Artists and stuff

Hello

Today I am going to be telling you about an artist that I like.

That person is one of my relatives.

Her name is Edith Collier.

She is my Granddad's Aunt (so I guess she is my great-great aunt).

She was a very interesting person according to my Granddad and the internet.

Edith was born on the 28 March 1885, Wanganui and she died on the 12 December 1964.

She painted many paintings and some of them are displayed in Te Papa in Wellington. (I've never seen them before).

These are one of my favourite paintings.--------->

This is called Grazing Sheep.

I like this painting because is soothing and neutral.

It also shows lots of the countryside we have in NZ.

So when describing this painting it will take a lot of time. 

So....

The trees look very realistic.

The sky is so peaceful

Sheep are so neutral.

Grass is so fresh.

I could go on and on about it but I wont bore you.

So my next favourite painting is this.------------>

This is called the Doco Bug.

I like this because this looks like my fathers old house which he used to live in as a kid.

How do I know that this is what it looks like?

Because my father always shows me pictures of him and his relative and his farm houses and that.

I also like this because it is a nice country house on a farm.

Describing time.

The grass is very fresh.

Stony path.

Concrete house.

Farm=cool.

I could also go on and on but I can't be bothered.

Thanks for reading guys and remember to go check out some of my great-great aunt's paintings on the internet. Or the next time you go to Te Papa keep your eyes out for her paintings.

SPORTSFEST DODGEBALL!!

HELLO!
So today I'm telling you about what and how I did at the Wellington regional sportsfest!

On the 26th of August, all of the year 7 and 8s went somewhere around Wellington to play different sport.

I was playing dodgeball at th Kilbirne recreation centre.

I was playing in the boys team with Liam, Henry, Oli, Jo, Andrew, Jesse, Mahon, Riley and Fraser. Our team was called the St Benedict's Beasts!

We started or games at around 10 o'clock. Every  team was going to play five games of dodgeball.

Our first game was against Holy Cross school. We won 4-1 but it was easy.

The second game was vs  Postgate. I'm haven't heard of this school before. Although these guys beat us 4-2 we still played well against them.

Our third game we played a team called Kahurangi Whetu. We won 3-2 and only just won

Our 4th game we played Newlands Intermediate and smashed them 4-1.

The final game we layed a team called Rangikura. They were really good sportsmanship although ne of the hit me in the face with a ball. They were also a very good team by beating us 4-1.

In the end the officials counted up the points.
Both St Bens

teams came third, for boys the Rangikura team came 2nd and Postgate came 1st.

Overall I think my team played really well and had a lot of fun and will hopefully be invited back next year.

I think I helped my team by catching, dodging and throwing well. I ended up in a 1 on 1 situation against Postgate it lasted about 2 minute until I was caught out.

Flag choice

Hey brudas,

So today I am choosing which flag I would like if It were to change

So here are some of my 4 decisions

My first decision would be the Silver Fern.
This is done by Kyle Lockwood.

He also did 4 other designs similar to this. 

I like this flag because it represents our country all over the world related to sport.

Since New Zealand has represented our country really well all over the world we should change it to this.

My second choice would be the Black Jack.
This is done by Mike Davison.
I like this because there is all sorts of things in here that represent our country.
Like the culture (Maori) .

My third choice would be this one. 

I'm not sure who it's by or what it's called but it's cool.

I like this because it has a really cool design and it represents our country.
It also shows some nature- (korus)- we have in NZ.



My final choice would be the Red Peak.
I have no idea who it's by.
I like this because it shows what our country colours are.
It also shows we have some mountains and landscape in the country.



WELL GUYS THANKS FOR READING AND I WILL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT BLOGPOST!!!

ART PROJECTS AND STUFF!!!!!!!

HEY GUYS!

So today I shall be telling you about art and stuff related to that.

WHAT ART HAVE I ENJOYED DOING

Some art I have enjoyed doing was doing the falling through space art because it looks really cool just looking at it. But it's weird because most people's hands and feet are bigger than their heads so it's quite ironic.

WHAT ART SKILLS I NEED TO IMPROVE

Some art skills I need to improve would be painting.

I'm not that great at painting because I am not very good at keeping

paint inside the lines because paint brushes are not as easy as colouring pencils.

NEXT ART EXHIBITION IDEAS

Some ideas I would have for the next art exhibition would be doing a lego art because some art made with lego looks really cool!! Some lego creators can make art looks realistic!!!

WELL GUYS SORRY THIS WAS SHORT BUT WHO CARES SO I WILL SEE YOU DUDES IN THE NEXT BLOGPOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DINNER INVITATION FOR...

HEY!

So today I am going to tell you about who I would invite to dinner.

1 has to be real and the other can be fictional.

The real person I would invite would be Richie McCaw.

I would invite because he is a role model to me.

He inspires me to play rugby harder and to never give up on anything. Also he led the All Blacks to World Cup victory captaining the team. Some questions I would ask him would be "how did you make all those tough captaining calls in the world cup final, 2011?" Or I would ask him "what does it feel like tackling the beast of South Africa?" Richie McCaw is a legend from NZ and he is know worldwide.

The other person I would invite would be Superman! I have absolutely no idea why I chose this guy but as far as I know he is pretty awesome. He can shoot lazers out of

eyes and he has super strength! But he can also fly! Some of the things I would ask him would be, "how do you fight off so many bad guys all at once?! Or, " what's it like to have super powers?"

Comment your favourite superhero!!!!!
