Report - Wing Suit

Did you know that a skydiver named Gary Connery jumped out of a helicopter without using a parachute and landed safely. Gary Connery is a 42-year-old that has completed the stunt wearing a specially developed wing suit. It happen on the 23rd of may 2012 at Henley-On-Thames.

Gary Connery did it to get a world record for being the first person to jump from a such hight without a parachute. He flew 1.4km through the air for about 50 seconds and landed safely in 18 thousand and 6 hundred boxes.

But in the future I wish I could jump out of a helicopter or a plane without using a parachute.

When Is The Right Time To Swear?

The right time to swear is never because if you swear around police you may get charged. But if you don’t swear nothing bad would happen to you. But if you want to swear and say it out loud I think it would be goo to just to keep it in your head.

We all know that swearing is bad. Swearing in Public would be a matter to people. Swearing can also cause a fight. Like if someone bumped into you by an accident, the person that got bump would probably get angry and go all psycho. They would swear, yell, and hit. But I think that Swearing and hitting would be violence. So I think they should stop and never swear at all.

I think they should ban the swearing around here because it is bad and it's legal.
For those people that want to swear, I think just keep in your head, and don't say it out loud or in public.

Friendship.

Hi my name is Tauwhare. I have 11 best friends so close to me. Their names are Andrea, Britney, Chelsea, Dakota,` Dante, Helen, Rozella, Taeshell, Te Rina, Turuhira and Zion. We will chat to each other, play around do lots thing like Eat lunch together, have joke when it comes to something funny. But when it comes to secrets we never tell anyone especially friends, because sometimes they can spread rumors from their mouths.

At morning tea and lunch we will sit down relax and eat. When we are on the playground we will play tigging or ball tiggy. Tiggy is a game that we all enjoy. We would laugh a lot and enjoy the day. Tiggy is the most valuable thing we will play. Most likely every day we will go to the playground and play.

In class we will sit together, sometimes read together and sometimes write together. Me and my friends will sometimes get carried away with thing. Friends are what we are made of. Like Andrea, Britney, Chelsea, Dakota,` Dante, Helen, Rozella, Taeshell, Te Rina, Turuhira and Zion. Thanks for reading  my writing about Friendship. I hope you enjoyed it!

Tropical Splendor

This term we are learning about art. In Room 19 we have been painting and learning about lines. They create boundaries and define shapes. It’s taking us time to learn how to do really light, thin lines.
We have been practicing drawing, sketching and painting, by using colours, mixing and layering in our art.

Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Matisse and a New Zealand artist Danielle Hulme.
Last week there was a rotation with the year 7 and 8 intermediate classes. Our first rotation was room 20, in room 20 we learnt  about Danielle Hulme. Miss Squires Showed us how good Danielle Hulme was at her art. But mainly in all of her paintings there's something to do with Island Patterns. Like the beach in one of her paintings and with the flowers added. In one of her cool paintings there was a lady wearing a dress that includes flowers. But I think in all of her paintings is about her husband’s culture (Samoan).

Painting a flower of Danielle Hulme is called Tropical Splendor. A Tropical Splendor is what room 19 painted. As I was getting started I had to sketch the flower before I painted. But then I managed to get to the point where I could paint. I enjoyed the day with Miss Squires. Thank you Miss Squires for a lovely day. Thank you Naomi

Picnic:

On friday morning I woke up with a nice bright smile. Walking on the way to school I stop into the shops and brought, Doritos Chips, Caramelo Chocolate, keri juice and Cravers crackers.

On the way to the beach Andrea, Te Rina, Rosella and I where talking but when we got to the beach we had to line up and get into our room lines. As soon as we got into our room lines we sat down for a while, but after a while we got up and took our tarpaulin and found us a good spot.

After that all four of us took off our shoes and went to play in the sand. When we were walking on the sand I walked back to have some Chocolate.
