winter

                                                                    

Winter is like snowflakes falling upon the ground

It taste like snow

dripping into your mouth

It feels like icicles

dripping from  my nose

as i ran through the forest

It sounds like kids playing

in the snow during the frosty day

It smells like hot chocolate

being made for a good Christmas movie It looks like ice setting on the branches

Feature

FEATURE	DEFINITION
Symbolism	The use of signs to carry a message in a simple picture form. These can be: people used to symbolise particular parts of society or objects that symbolise characteristics in a character.
Colour	This can be used to attract attention to a certain point in a Static Image, or to create a mood. It can also be used to represent feelings or emotions.
Lighting	Related to colour. How has the subject been lit? Is the lighting bright, or dim? Is the subject lit from above or below? What is the effect?
Proportion	The practice of using a variety of different sized objects within a static image. Proportion can be used to show relationships between objects, by showing one to be larger or more dominant than others.
Lines	Straight or curved edges in a static image. Our eyes often use these to travel around within an image. For instance, a car placed on a road will be imagined traveling down that road.
Frame	Could be external (like a picture frame) or internal (used to separate elements within the image.) Sometimes white space is used to act as an internal frame.
Lettering/Font	The style that the words have been written in. Look at the font, the colour, the size, the layout and any variety within these (not the actual words themselves).
Hyperbole	Deliberate exaggeration of particular parts of the images, or parts within the image. For example, deliberately making Superman's arms huge, to show that he is particularly strong.
Layout	The way components are put together on the page is called the layout of a static image. Usually there is a dominant subject that takes up the majority of the space on the page.
Verbal Features	The way that words have been used on a static image. Look for metaphors, similes puns and pronouns. Pronouns can be used to include the audience (we, us) or to exclude others (they, them).

• Lighting on the lollipop is bright but then when the ants get closer to the grass it gets  dim.

Dolphin report

Dolphin report                              

How many teeth do dolphins have?

There are dolphins that have 8 teeth and there are some that have 250.Bottlenose dolphins have 72/104 teeth.Dolphins do not use their teeth to chew their food like humans.They use their teeth to  catch their food and then the swallow it whole.

Do dolphins drink?

Dolphins do not drink water like we do because most of the water they swim in is saltwater.Instead dolphins get all of the water they need from the fish they eat.They may choose to eat different type of fish based on calories and the water.

Can dolphins see above the water?

They sure can.Bottlenose dolphins have excellent vision both above  and below the water.They produce an oily substance that covers their eyes to protect them.Dolphins can also see very well at night just like dogs and cats.

In Amiras feet

In Amiras feet

Bombs hit houses breaking like an easter egg , people screaming for their lives. Dead bodies everywhere planes were surrounding us. The bombs were getting closer and closer as the houses were being destroyed one by one in our village.

Suddenly a rocket landed on our roof of our house but no one was injured. As we trotted to the huts, my heart was pounding. Our house was totally destroyed after that rocket blow up.

Our dad took us out of the country thought a smuggler.We escaped that night in a rental car.We hide under the seats when we went pass the checkpoint and the driver covered  us up.

We crossed the border illegally through the mountains. We got out near the border and we had to walk about one hundred meters. when we heard a sound of a plane we started running we were very scared.

When we arrived at the camp we were staying at there were thousands of tents there. We bought materials for our tent the materials that we used were wood, plastic sheets. The men built our tent for us. Out tent has two rooms and a kitchen area. There 13 people living with us in this tent.

Our next door neighbours helped out by giving us some bottled water, mattress, blankets, cups, and plates. We could pick up at any time , as we don't have anything  of value here. My most treasured thing is my jewelure. I wear them all at the same time, because they have many meomries.One was from my boyfriend  but i don't want my mum to know  about that.

At home things were very cheap but here things are really expensive. We even have to pay for water.In winter there was snow halfway up the sides of our tent and we couldn't even see out of our tent.At home we had our own bedroom , but here we all sleep together in the tent on the ground.

We can't go to school here or jobs because at the moment there are no jobs available because too many people are looking for work.We don't even have any books so we just help out  with dinner and cleaning.To pass the time we do each others hair or  watch tv. We also make some clothes for each other.

The people that are not registered to stay at the refugee camp they hide out in the mountains and then the smugglers check them in and then when the smugglers have finished they come back to the refugee camp.It's also nice to know that there are other people out there that have the same solution as us.

Wandering through the native bush suddenly seven kiwis appeared but as soon as Ana took the first step all of a sudden they go digging into the ground.

“Everybody be quiet so they can come back up” whispered Manaia. “Here they come don’t scare them off or we can’t see them.”

Here comes one. What should we name this one maybe Uru a rangi” I agree me to me there” “Ok great we all agree. Here comes another one.”Oh  my gosh there are two coming at the same time I think these ones are twins they can be called  Waiti and Waita” mumbled Kaia.

The rest of the kiwis names were Waipuna a Rangi, Tupua a Rangi, Tupua a Nuku and the biggest one  was the  mother of the 6 sisters her name was Matariki.

“Oh my gosh there are wings appearing on waipuna rangi” kaia said under her breath.They are  getting higher and higher. Quickly grab them but be careful .

” We should just fling them into the sky” Manaia and Ana said to each other. So Kaia,Maia,Ana and Manaia beefed them up into the sky and seven kiwis exploder into seven shining whetu (stars)  shining brightly in the beautiful night sky showing the sun its pathway throughout matariki.

Argument writing

Animal abuse

I am trying persuade everyone that is abusing animals. My argument is to try stop people for abusing animals.The reason  why I am doing an

Please stop using dogs for fighting because people end up kidnapping other people's pets. I find it very cruel because  they are technically forcing dogs to fight their own kind. Personally I love dogs but I hate hearing that people make them fight one another.

Apparently the only reasons they make them fight is for money, they think it's fun and it makes them happy but that doesn't make me happy about the dogs fighting. Dog fighting is illegal but people still do it and many other  countries have banned dog fighting. People have been breeding dogs to use for fighting so they can get more money but they need to realise that it is illegal.

Most dogs lose their fur when they are fighting and start bleeding. Same dogs even die from it but if they don't die they get chucked out on the road until someone  drives past and takes them to the vet. Dogs are injured by fighting other dogs and have bit masks that makes them bleed.

I hope that this all gets put to an end  so dogs can live a happy life and get to live longer than they use to.

Autumn

Autumn / Ngahuru

Frozen Popsicle forming layers on your clear windows.

A small kowhai crispy leaf spirals down to the frosty cold grass.

Snow makes layers on the beautiful maunga forming a layer of marshmallow.

Wind flowing like an awa.

Mornings feel like you’re in a ginormous pile of snow.

Leaves falling gracefully like a ballerina.

Leaves change colour as the seasons change.

Matimati frozen when you walk across the icy grass.

Leaf writing

Mysterious leaf falls while twisting  like  a ballerina.The kakariki  with a mix of parauri,whero. The maple leaf has had  a ruff life before we found it laying on the ground lonely.Unfortunately the maple’s leaf is ripping like someone trying to  do the splits and end up ripping there pants.The veins stretchy out like a bungee cord.
