Mount Tarawera eruption

Volcano:

I didn’t mean to blow my scorching steam

But I just wanted to be seen 

My heart broke every time people came to visit,

my rivals the pink and white terraces

I will never forget what I have done 

I know it was a long run

I hope I haven’t caused much trouble

BUT YOU ASKED FOR IT!!!

I guess what I am trying to say is I am very sorry

The People :

You stupid piece of land 

You may as well be a wasteland

We hope you know what you have done

You burst your bubble leaving a mess  

That we all have to address

We hope you are happy now 

Christchurch earthquake poem

Christchurch earthquake poem:

The house

I shake with fear

I stand here limp with a broken heart

I am cracked from the top to the bottom

I have been abandoned, left and forgotten 

My tears have pooled around me 

My fate has already been decided 

  

The people

My car my house it’s all gone

I can’t find my loved ones

I hobble across the debris 

with only the clothes on my back 

If only I had taken my family and left the last time this happened

Separation poem

Separation poem:

As every day passes I drift further and further away

I know I should be having fun here in Auckland 

But I can’t stop thinking about you 

My quick, budget meals don’t compare to your cooking

Your creative trait obviously hasn’t been passed down to me 

And my driving skills are terrible

I go back to my apartment day after day all alone 

The only company I have is my new cat Fluffy

I wish you were here

The time has finally come

I am no longer here by myself I am so glad you could make it 

My heart is beating a million miles an hour just at the smell of your perfume.   

Practise

We were practicing backgrounds and hills.

Light and Dark

I was practicing making 3D shapes and adding dark and light.  

Designing my own coins

We had to design our own coins and this is mine. I decided to have the beach on one side because NZ has some really nice beaches. I also decided to do the koru and the pohutukawa because NZ is known for them.

NZ Daisy

 

This is my drawing I did of an NZ Daisy after looking at this picture.

WHAKATAKA TE HAU

                 I decided to do my artwork like this because I really liked the part about the land and the red-tipped dawn and the ocean so I tried to incorporate it all into my drawing. 

When I listened to the prayer this is the image I got in my head. 

KIwiana poem

This is my Kiwiana poem about tomato sauce. I really like this poem because it makes me think.

New Years Eve Poem

Fantail poem

Hairy Maclary style writing

NZ Authors Timeline

We had to choose 15 Authors that we thought were the top 15 in New Zealand, then we had to make a timeline and add a little blurb about them. We made our timelines on Visme. I really liked making these timelines I thought it was really fun and the end result looks really cool.

Haiku poem

We were learning to write haiku's then we had to draw a picture to go with our haiku. My haiku was...

Sweet smelling roses
Blowing in the winter breeze
Smiling upon us

I made this haiku because my favorite flower is a rose and I really like the way you can use personification when describing flowers.

Learning to make quality blogs

I learned how to make a quality blog post, then I changed one of my old blog posts to make it quality. To make it quality I changed the title so that it is related to the topic better, then I added a description about my post.    

Pancake making evaluation

 We made pancakes on gas cookers like how we would if we were in the bush. My group's pancakes turned out really well and they tasted delicious. I would definitely make these in the bush.

My logo

BUSH CAMPERS

This is my team and our logo. Our final logo design was my idea. We painted this on our banner and our bandanas. On our logo, we have a tent in the middle of a circle, then we have bushes with yes in them and mountains in the background. Our team name is the Bush Campers.
