Kiwi-kick


As we were walking to Kiwi-kick my class and I (Room 20) were shivering. I was also rubbing my hands together briskly so I can warm up my numb fingers. I also saw trees rustling and Flags were flapping. “It was cool that we were going to kiwi-kick for another year”. I was hoping that we were going to advance but we still did some same skills. My favourite skill is the specy.          

Week 2 and I’m already loving this sport we already know hand-pass and pirate dance we also know drop punt do you know how to play kiwi-kick?We played a game in week 1 which was called cat and mouse. This week we played cheetah and leopared. It was fun and hard at the same time which was difficult.

"Last week and I’m the man at this game", I’m like a expert. First we warmed up with a game then we went through the things we learned. The people who taught us AFL were Micheal, Anita and Sam they were cool. Last thing we did was a great game called over the river. It was fun and I hope I do AFL next year.

Pablo/Mattise Biography



Pablo Piccaso was born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga which is in Spain. He became the best, most influential artist in the 20th century. His style was Cubism. Piccaso was known as a radical in his work. After a long career he died on April 8 1973 in Mougins, France.The work of Piccaso is still famous.


Henry Matisse was born on December 31, 1869 in Le Cateau-Cambreesis, France Picasso and Matisse met in france and became life long mates.


In this writing I am going to compare and contrast these two artists' paintings, "Woman with a Hat" by Matisse and "Weeping Woman" by Picasso.





Although both Picasso’s ‘Weeping Woman’ and Matisse's Woman with a Hat are portraits of women, they have different themes and different style.

Matisse and Picasso use vibrant colors for their paintings. They incorporate the same colors like light and dark. 



 

If I was to pick out of them two I would have chose Piccaso. The reason I picked Piccaso is because Matisse arts looks sad and has too much colour . I also don’t like his style because his fauvism doen’t even look like favism. But Piccaso is new and great.

Vincent van-gough Starry night


Vincent-Van Gogh has a very famous artwork called the Starry Night. It was created in 1889. The artwork has two layers for the sky which is light blue and dark blue. The sky also looks like an ocean with  waves that look like they are moving. His technique was to use bold brush strokes. Dark outlines are also incorporated throughout the painting. This piece of art looks lonely and quit so he must have been having a hard time.

At the young age of eight his parents sadly divorced so his mother was alone to look after Benjamin and his older brother Curtis on her own.

Benjamins mother had to work 2 sometimes 3 jobs at a time to provide her boys. As soon as Sonya saw Bens failing grades she determined to change his life around. She limited their television watching and said they have to finish their homework everyday to play outside.
They even had to read 2 library books a week. Ben wasn’t really happy about it.

One day Bens teacher walked into the class with a rock then that’s when Ben realised he wasn’t dum. When the teacher asked what kind of rock it is Ben waited for someone to put their hands in the air but no one did so he put his hand up and said the right answer everybody was amazed. A year past and Benjamin was already at the top of the class.

Learning took over his mind and was very hungry to read he was also now good at all subjects. His goal was to be phyisian so he had to control his anger temper. He graduated and attended to Yale University and got a scolarship in phsycology. From Yale he went to medical school of the University of Micchigan. Where his dream moved to psychiatry to neurosurgery. After medical school he became a neurosurgeon at the famous James hopkins hospital in Baltimore.

The two twins binded together from the back of the head. Orparations like this fail like one or both dying. Carson did the orparation and a 70-member surgical team helped him. They did the orperation for 22 hours. At the end the twins were successfully apart and can live safe.
