Description Writing on a picture


The Nigerian Player was going insane with the basketball, his face clearly showing stress. The sound of the crowd, forcing his focus to decrease on the ball. His jaw was wide open releasing his voice, taunting his competitor. His singlet flying in mid air with him  like a balloon. The Basketball being fought over from competitors with their hands weaving through each other. He has his arms in position as he was willing to perform a magic trick. The ball floating in the stop motion, far from reach of the other hands.

Impressionism Art Reflection and Rubric

The last few weeks I've been learning and creating impressionism art. Impressionism is a landscape type of art and uses colour to show emotions. Here I have a city with grassland at the front with a tree overtaking the view of a few buildings. How I colored my art is with chalk pastel. I smudged certain parts in one direction e.g the hills. The background is of course the sky, I blended it with 3 colours, purple, blue and orange. I used orange as part of the setting sun, the blue as the incoming night and the purple as full night. I also merged bits of green onto the branches. I was proud of the outcome of my art, how the effect of the sky, and how the buildings stand.

Me writing of the chicken

This food has an extraordinary taste with a crispy crunch. The soft creamy meat inside. The hard greasy bone with a multiple areas of flavours. The warm smell of the skin directing into the mouth of a consumer. The soft edge of the chicken, filled with the limited amount of grease.This would make my own mouth water of the taste of the meat, skin and spices with breadcrumbs descended to the ground. The strips of chicken being jerked into the teeth of the consumer, disappearing bit by bit. This is better than ever, even than American food.

The Meaning of Geometry

Geometry a part of maths that doesn't just learn a bunch of basic shapes. In a advanced way of geometry you'll also need to know more, like parallelograms and the angle of a triangle. There are more advanced shapes like trapeziums or Rhombuses. There are two types of shape categories, 3D/3 Dimensional and 2D/ 2 Dimensional. The difference between these two is that they different names and forms, although they do have the same base. E.g of the difference, the 3D version of square is called cube. There are more relations to the shapes from the angle section. If you don't know what angle is, it is basically somewhere pointing. Want a more advanced explanation. E.g 0 degrees is where you would be facing now. the computer. If you turn 90 degrees right, you would be facing somewhere else. Besides that, it means changing the position of the tip point round in a circle. Like a clock, the third hand that represents the seconds, it spins 360 degrees for it to tell you it's been 12 seconds. That's all I know about Geometry, did you learn something.

My Worst Holiday eva!

Have you ever had a four hour break after every chore you do. Well mine is completely cut in half. I mean, it just feels like a good 30mins on the consoles but actually it was a whole two hours, this was because of my favourite pass time which shortens my time calculations and plays with my mind (get it? No, let’s carry on ). So besides playing a bunch load of video games. Here is the negative side of the holiday.

Do you know what conquers my game time, well say hello to chores , I had to do chores during my game time. Since the play limit is two hours, it was delayed to one and a half hours because by just washing a stockpile of dishes or laying out the clothes outside. Well that’s multiple of hours I can’t get back. This happens over times either if I have friends over or just taking a break after every house chore.

Here was the most common example that wastes my time and gets my mood down. It was so terrible it prevented me from playing any game. It was getting all the gadgets confiscated, each of every one. The thing I could do was that on cycle of house chores. Not even one chance to do a simple game session. While everything is confiscated, the only chance to erase my boredness is if a fellow friends come over. It was lucky for at least one to five friends came over for either a visit or a sleep over.

What's worst than so many keys opening my break time and forces me to work. It felt like I didn’t even had a holiday. So what's the point holidays, I know it’s to take a break from school but what about the chores. Was it time take break, yes. Was it just from school, NO!. That’s what ruined my game time weeks. Goodbye videogame, hello good ol boring house chores.

Mind map

This is a mind map.
A mind map is a helpful tool that can record your ideas easily.
In short it is your brain on paper.
We've been using this tool to help us write our writing in an organised way. 
The picture above is an example of what I did so far.

2nd Xtramath Certificate


This is the next two subjects I've done
PLZ COMMENT

News Review


While reading the news, I came across a article about a backyard  DIY Roller coaster. The father and his family came home from a amusement park and their son thought why didn’t they built their own. I find this interesting, because I have never seen a D.I.Y roller coaster  in my life, and I felt surprised how it actually functions. This article makes think that why would they spend $3,500to just build a 180m long roller coaster. I wonder if other people were inspired by this. I just really like the way how they also add a 12 ft drop to add additional speed. I noticed they didn’t had the parts to lift the cart up the drop but they saved more money by lifting the cart with a long stick.

Being Jim

I struggle to mount the wood of the ladder over to the battlefield.
But then I felt something deep in me, the cold feeling, something that’s piercing through me.
For then I had caught attention to the deep craters blown by overpowered mortars.
Then for I had seen the barb wire preventing us soldiers to pass.
Suddenly the distant gunshots started from another battle far in the fog of war.
My Tongue started tingling after eating too many salty food.
While moving on I tasted my saliva overflowing in my mouth as I had ravies .
Myself  had now stepped from the depths of the trench to the grounds of the killzone.
Enemies are now waiting for their targets to be visible.
I crouch down and then the officer passed  a command to move on.
Now I wonder if the enemies are alerted  and stand guard?

After that then I started thinking that will I die?

REMEMBERING SUMMER

On cold Autumn nights…
My feet remembers pressuring the pedals of the kart.
My stomach remembers the rumbling of hunger.
My body remembers vibrating as the kart rushes.
My arms remembers waving like a flag after every lap.
My hand remembers catching a grip on the steering wheel.
My head remembers being organised with a helmet and a hair net.
My face remembers the lights flare over my face.
My mouth remembers inhaling and exhaling particles of gas,
but I’ll always remember that summer will return.

I am from…

I am from…
The lemons and mandarins growing aside of the house.
A house covered with webs all over on solid bricks.
A small  garage full of old material with cobwebs covering the corners.
A long road full of dust, with cars speeding with heavy trucks.
A tree full of yummy persimmons, with birds feasting.


I am from…
The smelly cow poop covering the air within the farms.
The sense of the delicious pot of food with herbs, mince and pasta.
The gas passing over the road with the smell of heated concrete.
The garbage smell flowing in the yard with the flies scavenging through.
The smell of dust from the construction sites building up.


I am from…
My uncle’s visiting New Zealand every four years.
Philippines holidays with my relatives.
My grandparents home for a stay with friends and family.
A celebration of fireworks with hot air balloons and delicious dinner.
A theme park full of history and minigames with family and friends.


I am from..
Plates, bowls and cups lying within the dishwasher.
The clothes in the laundry room waiting to be cleaned.
The stinky garbage soaking with wet liquids.
The wet yet clean counters.
The dishes piling in the sink waiting.


I am from…
Celebrations, feasts and gifts.
Three annoying brothers, Michael and Michelle for a mother and father.
