Were going Ice Skating!!!!!!!!

This term Year 7 team 2 are going on an outting, to Paradise Ice Skatting, where we could ice skate. We are going on August the 9th which is next Thursday. To raise money for this exciting event, we have had Bake Sales, both yesterday and today. These sweet treat were solat at our school, in the breeze and included cup cakes chocolate cake and spunge cake, that were one and two dollars each.

As sonn as the bell rang for morning tea, we had everything sorted and we were ready to sell. When. There were lot’s of people. We work so hard to give the coustmers what they wanted in a polite way. It was really difficul to give them the right change. The table we were working at was crowded, so we didn’t know who to give the change to.

The best part for me was the end. We all got to count up the money we have raised. The first day, we raised $160. The next day was $102. We maneged to get $202. I can’t wait to go on our exciting outting. Even though it was alot of work, I still look forward to the next Bake Sale.

Stereotype Poem

Joshua Iosefo a prefect at Mt Roskill Grammar had to deliver a speech to the school. Instead of a speech he wrote a poem titled “ Brown Brother.” His friend Rashad posted it on youtube where it came to the attention of Campbell live, who presented it on national television.

The message Joshua was trying to convey to us, is all about stereotypes. Don’t limit yourself from what other people think. Don’t be afraid to change yourself. Champions never give up is known as the message too. Even if not even one of your family has graduated from school, you can be the first.

Our response to his poem is that, stereotype isn't real no matter how many people believes in it. I think that the pathway to making your dreams come true is the three D’s, known as Determination, Dedication and Desire.

Art Alive

Mele Fatu Feu'u

This is a comparison of Matisse and Picasso.

Matisse and Picasso were both living in the same Era. They are two famous artists. Picasso is an unusual painter,who tries to paint in many different styles. His colours are not the same as what the other Artist does. Picasso has a painting called the Weeping Women. Which Matisse’s painting is called The Women with the hat.

Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse have the same subject in their painting, however their themes are not the same. In the weeping women the theme is like someone suffering, and a war has just began. However the Women with the Hat is a mood that shows she’s not happy she’s not sad too.

Matisse and Picasso both use bright colors. There painting is unnatural and unrealistic too. PIcaso’s weeping women contrasts colours mainly red oranges yellow, contrasting with blue and green. Picasso also uses strong emotions. How ever Matisse uses different colours.

Picasso and Matisse both have different view’s. Picasso has two view point’s which is unnatural. Matisse uses one view.
