Lino Prints

Last term we had to do a lino print of a flower or an animal. These are the steps that I had to go through.

• First I had to draw what I wanted to cut on a piece of lino.
• Second I had to cut out the pencil lines.
• After that I had to go to a table and painted ink onto my lino.
• Then I had to put my lino under a piece of paper and roll on top of it to get the ink on the lino on to the paper.
• Next I had to wash all of the ink off the lino
• After that I had to cut more things out of the lino.
• Next I had to paint a different coloured ink on my lino and roll it on to the paper.
• Then I had to wash all of the ink off.
• After that I had to cut even more out of the lino.
• Then I painted black ink on my lino and rolled it on to the paper.
• Next I had to wash the ink off the lino

Finally there you have it, that is how I made this lino print.

My School Break

On the school holidays I travelled to our property in Whanganui with my Mum, Dad and little brother. When we got there we went to the cattle yards to collected some wood for a fire in the that we were going to make that afternoon. We packed all of the wood in the back of the Ranger and drove up a hill to a hole were we were going to make the fire. After that we went up to the camp site to clean up all of the wood and plastic that was lying around the tent. It took about 2 hours but we finally had finished so we drove to the caravan to have some yummy ham, cheese and Mayo sandwiches. when we were done eating we just headed off to bed and watched a movie for 2 hours and then went to bed.

The next day we went to Whanganui to get new tires for the ranger and then went back to the caravan and went hunting for a stag on my Dads friends property. When we got there we started walking but we couldn't find anything, but we didn't give up so we walked for another 2 and a half hours and we still didn't find anything so we just went home, went to town and ate lunch. After we ate lunch we waited about 3 hours and then ate spaghetti for dinner and went to bed. The next morning we packed and headed back home.

The Blood Sucking Gorila

I wish I was a blood sucking gorilla that had a tigers tail, a duck's beak, a sharks teeth and a dinosaurs spikes. If I was a blood sucking gorila I would give little kids nightmares about me coming into their rooms and eating them in one big bite. I would be so scary that I would be scared of myself.                                                                                                                                                                    One day I actually made a potion that would transform me into whatever terrifying creature I wanted. When I drank the potion I felt a bit sick and went to bed but when I woke up... I was the scariest monster in the world - a blood sucking Gorilla!! When I got up off of my bed and looked in the mirror I was so scared at myself I found a brown stain on the back of my pants and a wet spot on the front.I was a bit happy though because my wish came true and now I could torture little kids in their sleep and some of the kids heads will be off when it is morning leaving their headless bodies on the floor of their rooms.

I started torturing little kids when I got used to being a blood sucking Gorilla but it wasn't that easy eating a whole head in one bite so it took me a while to actually swallow the children's heads. I went torturing every night but I got a bit of a stomach ache after a night so I had to stop eating children for a while. Anyway I have almost got caught or I could of even died before at this little girls house because her Dad walked into her room with his shotgun. Luckily I escaped unwounded. Tonight I’m going to go and try and eat the Chief's daughter Christine. When I arrived at Christine's house, I walked into her room and got ready but as soon as I was about to take her head the Chief came in, caught me with an high tech net and put me in an highly unbreakable exhibit at the zoo. Well that was the end of my torturing...you can now see me behind bars at the zoo. But don’t lean too close or you might lose your head!

NZ History in the Month of June

June the 12 1942 First Us troops arrive in Auckland
At any one time between June 1942 and mid-1944 there were between 15,000 and 45,000 American servicemen in camp in this country, mainly around Auckland and Wellington. Most servicemen spent time in New Zealand. As well as soldiers and navy, many US naval and merchant marine personnel had a short period in this country.

I think it would have been exiting for the young soldiers because coming from where they were born and travelling around the world must be a good feeling because not many people get the opportunity to go other places.

Quote

I like this quote because it says Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you React to it. I like this quote because it has taught me a valuable lesson that if you make bad decisions bad things will happen and if you make good decisions good things will happen. This quote has taught me that the decisions in my life are important but the reactions in my life are more important. (Quote by Charles R. Swindoll.

What Happends Next

This is some writing I have been doing over the past couple of days.

On one sunny day it was Mother’s Day and I was trying to make pancakes for Mum. I was a bit confused because I'd never made pancakes before but I had seen where Mum had hidden her recipe books.

I grabbed Mum’s recipe book out and set the ingredients out on the table. Next I had to mix them all together and pore some of the mixture into the pan. I’d seen my Mum do this before and she flipped the pancake on the pan, I reckon I would be able to do it so I took a step back and prepared to flip this bad boy over...1,2,3! The pancake flies out of the window into my neighbours postbox and I know there's trouble coming because there post box is locked and they are on a 3 week holiday.This is going to stink if I don’t get this pancake out!

I knew this problem would be solved quickly because I had already came up with an idea. My idea was to call my pet mouse Squeaky and send him off to go thru the mail slot, eat the pancake and lick all of the syrup up. When I went to Squeaky’s cage he wasn't there, he had already found his way into the mailbox, eaten the pancake and licked all of the syrup. I was very proud of Squeaky for solving the problem. This gave me an idea, I could ask people in the neighbourhood if I could look after their houses while their away and charge them small fees.

Sketching Group

For discovery block on Tuesday we are sketching. There is only six people allowed in the workshop. The workshop is about learning how to sketch real pictures like animals and people.The picture that I am drawing is an eye. My friend Callum drew a Ute and my friend Fin drew a horse.We get all the pictures off the internet because we can't really make up a picture that we can draw in our mind. Here is a picture of the eye that I drew.
