My Art and Writing

For the last 8 weeks, we have had Hurumanu 4.Hurumanu 4 is Art and writing. For the Art part of Hurumanu 4, we have been looking at perspective drawing with a vanishing point, prospective line and a horizon line we have also been drawing people and their faces. For the writing part of Hurumanu 4, we have been planing and writing a heroes and villains story of our choice. We hade to make up the 3 main characters in our story, 1 character is your hero the second character was your villain and your last character could be a sidekick for your hero or an animal or a random person. In your story, you have four main scenes. I'm really proud of the abandoned building that I drew for the art side of Hurumanu 4.  

This is my story I haven't really finished yet but I hope you enjoy it. 

So this story starts with a 12-year-old boy named Max playing basketball with all his friends at a local park. Max is about 4 and a half feet tall with light brown hair and hazel eyes and a diamond earring on his left ear.

 Max and all his friends are halfway through this really intense game when swish goes the basketball all the way to the other side of this giant basketball court. Max said in a really puffed out voice “I’ll get it” As the big brown basketball bounces down the court Max run’s after it with all the energy he has left. Bounce after bounce the ball end’s up going out of the basketball court and accidentally hitting this lady in the right-hand side of her back,  but what Max didn’t know was the lady the basketball hit was no ordinary lady, in fact, she is top 10 most wanted villains in the world. This lady’s name was Violet, Violet is 24 years old she’s about 5 foot 1 with black hair but slightly dark violet and violet eyes. Never would her name be Violet aye? Well, Max walks up puffed out and exhausted to Violet he says that he’s really sorry that the basketball hit her then turned around to grab the basketball then turns around one more time to say that he and all his friends are truly sorry, 

Then out of nowhere BANG! All the people at the park and at the basketball court run for dear life just so they don’t end up with red ruby blood running out of their body like it’s the Olympics 100 meter races with ruby red blood filling all the cracks in the long narrow footpath. Then rushing down and along the green grass then suddenly the sound of sirens fills the air, Then before you can blink you see Max with medical attention like no one has seen before everyone trying to keep as much blood from coming out of his chest like a waterfall, Then as fast as you can think they’re in the ambulance and then at the hospital with his parents being called to the hospital to find out that there beloved son laying in a fully dreaded blood bed with his hospital monitor at a flat beat with no hope left Max is covered with his sheet dreaded in blood. 

As Max’s mum and dad’s eyes filled with water they turned red as if they had a laser beming into them and a waterfall coming out of the sockets. Max’s body is removed from the room and then taken to the morgue under the ground floor. This is where all the unfortunate dead pale bodies are kept after dying in the hospital or on their way to the hospital.

About one and a half weeks after the passing of Max. They have a funeral for him. The funeral is held at 12:30 pm at Willo Graveyard.

Anne Frank

 For the last 6 weeks in homeroom, we have been reading the diary of Anne Frank.

The diary of Anne Frank is about 13-years old girl that is hiding with her family and this other family called the Vann Dan's  She has her sister Margot, her mother Edith, her father Otto and in the Vann Dan's family there is the son Peter, Auguste the Mother and Hermann The father, 

Anne Frank and the family goes into hiding on the 6th of July 1942 because Hitler didn't want any Jews because he only wanted people with blond hair and blue eyes and had this perfect vision of one kind of race in Germany. Anne Frank is in hiding for 2 years until the 1st of August 1944 when she and the families got to go out of hiding.

Speech

This week for hurumanu 2 we wrote a speech on a subject that we got to choose. I choose the subject crazy laws in the sates and wrote about 4 really dumb and stupid laws.

This is the speech I wrote about.

Crazy Laws 

Hello, my name is Evelyn and I will be talking about some Crazy Laws in America. I will be talking about 4 really stupid and weird laws that I have researched and written about that I will be talking about 

 

• It's illegal to eat fried chicken with utensils in Georgia.

“In 1961, Gainesville, Georgia passed a measure making it illegal to eat fried chicken with anything other than your hands. It was a publicity stunt to promote the city as the “poultry capital of the world.” (Website link) I think this law is one of the craziest and stupidest laws I've ever heard because some people don't like to get their hands dirty while eating.

• It's illegal to put up billboard signs in Hawaii.

“The first state to ban billboards was Hawaii back in the 1920s. Over 8 million tourists visit Hawaii each year, due to its ethereal beauty and land desirability. Could this be due to the fact that there aren’t any billboards obstructing its natural appeal? Possibly. The Aloha State has preserved its rooted history through initiatives started by the Outdoor Circle, which is an organization that pioneers the removal of aerial advertising. The main reason being why Hawaii has decided not to erect billboards is to maintain its gorgeousness, but there is an unintended consequence from this.” (Website link)

• It’s illegal to sell a pickle if it does not bounce in Connecticut. 

A pickle has to bounce to be considered a pickle in Connecticut. The regulation has its roots in a 1948 incident in which pickle packers Sidney Sparer and Moses Dexler were arrested for selling rotten pickles. The pickles in question did not bounce. Sparer and Dexler were fined $500--the maximum penalty--and their pickles were destroyed. 

• It’s illegal to climb a tree in  Toronto.

“No person shall climb on or over a railing, bridge or fence located along or across any street, or climb on any tree located in a street, or on any post, pole or structure installed on any street.” (Website link) I think that this is illegal because someone could get really hurt and may potentially pass away doing dangerous stuff like that.

I hope you enjoy me talking about these crazy and stupid laws that I have researched about I hope you learn something new about America and some of the dumb laws over there maybe one day you will try eating fried chicken with utensils?

And here is a video of me reading my speech.

Reading Tangata Whenua

For the last two week, I have been working on a book about New Zealand and the history behind it. The book I got is about Tangata Whenua, The name of the book is Tupaia. Tupaia is about the native people that lived here first before captain cook came to New Zealand.

For one of my activities, I had to describe in my own words what the word mana means.

Here is the work I did for this period.

Is the Milo healthy for you ?

Today for health and math we are taking an item that we might use every day and looking at all the ingredients inside of the item. The item that I chose is Milo.

What to look at.

So when you are looking at the label's at the back with all the ingredients it goes from most which are the most inside of the item that you got then it goes to the least which means it has a lest of this inside that item.

What's in milo.

With milo, the most ingredient inside of it is barley which is 34% out of 200grams and the least amount of ingredients inside is flavour.

I hope you learn something from this blog post

Sugar And Drinks

This week on Tuesday we had math and health. For maths, we look at sugar and drinks and how much sugar was in drinks. For the activity we had to work in groups, we had to put teaspoons of sugar in a small Ziploc bag. The amount of sugar we put in a Ziploc bag was the amount of sugar in a drink.  I was really surprised when a bottle fizzy had 20 teaspoons and sports drink Had 14 teaspoons in it. We have some photos of our math activities.

This is a photo of my group.

This is a photo of all the sugar in the ziplock bag for each drink 

I hope you enjoyed my blog post I really found a lot about sugar and drinks. And all the measurements of sugar are interesting and some are really surprising with how much sugar they had in them.

I choose the animal pink river dolphin to research about. I made a slide show about the pink river dolphin and all the thing I research about I hope you like it.
