Writing Sample

Description: In writing we have had to write a story about whatever we wanted. We got to choose what type of story. Our choices were like Diary, Newspaper, Song or Descriptive piece.
I chose diary talking about my life.



Big Idea: Dear Diary

My mum and dad lived in Wellington New Zealand. My dad had his own Fantastic hair business it was named Furness Hair. My mum worked there too so that was how my parents met.

Then a couple of years passed and then I was born (And I was amazing!) . I know they would have loved me because I was the first born. But a bad thing is they thought I was going to be a BOY.

They were going to name me Ollie but since I was a girl they called me bubba for a while then they thought of Olivia the one name that means Olive Tree.

I had grown to be 1 and a half I guess and then my sister was born at the end of the bed.

Like every other baby I was annoyed That the attention was taken away from me so I decided to say When baby go home for about a month until I realised that she was here to stay.

Then we moved from wellington when I was 4 and I can remember singing kids songs and being piled with towels yes I said it towels.

when we got there I went straight to bed but then I realised the bed was in the car so I slept on the floor. Ok so really the rest of my life was I started school then we moved then we moved again to a stinky house and now we are well remaking it so that brings us to today I am a 10 year old. I do TAEKWONDO and I now live In Palmerston North New Zealand. So that was my life.

FeedBack/FeedForward: You have done a great job telling me about some of the things in your life. I think that you could still work on adjectives because there wasn't very many descriptive words. For example when you said ......  and being piled with towels yes I said it towels. Instead of saying towels you could of described the towels where they fluffy, where they sulky, where they soft. Georgia :)

Evaluation: Ok so Georgia I agree with you but I need to say I COULD NOT describe about the towels I do not even know what songs we sang.

Kapa Haka Reflection

Description: In Kapa Haka we have been Learning a new song Harei Mai and we have also been just practicing our songs.

My last post about kapa haka said that my goal was: " A personal goal for me is… To learn to do the movements properly and to become a leader someday. I think that I have achieved my goal of being able to do the movements properly. How can I achieve being a Kapa Haka leader? Well... I could become a leader by proving to the teachers for kapa haka next year that I would be a great Leader. If they do kapa haka at the next school I go to.

Feed Back/ Feed Forward: Nice Olive. (haha) You have a clear plan on how you can achieve your goal. I think you could work on getting the opportunity to prove yourself to the teachers. Once you get that opportunity, don't blow it. Aye (0)__(0)

Feed Back/Feed Forward: Wow good work Olivia! I think you could work on your evaluation  to add a bit more depth into it. Next time you could sit in the middle to get a better understanding of the question or strategy, because if you sit on the end you don't get a more of a understanding. Good Work! Sophie W

Wearable Arts

On Friday every week we work on our Wearable Arts that is going on around the end of the year.

Our production Is named Ora what means life in maori.

In wearable arts I need to base my costume around Africa so I decided to do a gazelle or also named an antelope. I am doing safari with the teacher Kate. This is what is going on: Troy is doing Elements, Rebecca Is doing Super Hero's and Kate is doing Safari or Africa.

I chose a gazelle because I really like the look of gazelles and horns. I think Gazelles are a great thing to use as a thing in Africa.

I have Finished my muzzle for my mask and I have finished my antlers and ears.

Props and pieces are used for illusions. The World Body painting Festival was founded in 1998 by Alex Barendregt and is now a popular event with many fans attending to watch each year.

I am in the summarising group I have not been here for half the term so far so I have not done as much as other people.

Why did you choose it? Because I wanted to be in a little bit of difficulty

Why is that your goal? Because I wanted to be in summarising

What does it mean? To summarise something you look at a magazine and see what it is about using the big words and photographs.

What have you been learning in your workshops? To summarise something you look at a magazine and see what it is about using the big words and photographs.

What is the tic tac toe? News Report

Big Idea: 

What have you learnt from doing this post? That you do not just make costumes you also paint people

How is it helping your learning? 1. It is helping me be inspired for wearable arts. 2. I can just skim through and know what is going on.

How is it helping you meet your goal? letting me practice it.

FeedBack: TOMORROW.

FeedForward: TOMORROW.

Evaluation: I have done a good post because I have not just skimmed through. I have took the time and effort to create this post. and because I have complicated my writing.
