Skateboarding Poem

πŸ‘§Hi peeps, it's Joyce.πŸ‘§
Every Wednesday we have a skateboarding session. We had to write a piece of writing about it. I decided to write an acrostic poem. Have a look below.πŸ‘‡

Skating from one side to the other
Knee pads for protection🐒
Aiming to go in a straight line
Tumbling from side to side
Elbow pads for extra protection
Blue, pink, white coloured penny boards
Over the lava we go!😈πŸ”₯
Aren’t we the best worst skateboarders?😎
Roaming the courts
Dying of fear (so true)πŸ”ͺπŸ’£
In coming skateboard!
Nerve wracking first try
Give way, I’m coming through!
I thought that writing the poem was really fun.

Hope you liked my poem and please comment below!

Caesar The Anzac Dog

In celebration of Anzac Day we read a story about Caesar The Anzac Dog. I made a slideshow about the book.



The book was super interesting and the slideshow was quite easy.

Hope you liked my work. Please let me know what you thought about my work.

The Tooth

Hi bloggers, in Term 1 we read this book called The Tooth. Here is a slideshow I made about the book.


I thought the work was quite easy but finding the information about somethings were a little hard.
My favourite part was when they found the tooth in the canyon. My least favourite part was when Sam Mason found the tooth before them. Luckily it was a fake and was just a horse tooth and some concrete.

Hope you enjoyed reading my work. Please feel free to comment below.

Fata Feu'u inspired art

In Term 1 we made these pieces of artwork. We were inspired by Fata Feu'u work. We had to plan two piece in our art books and then we could move on to the good copy. We used paint to colour our patterns. We made a doc about it which is down below.πŸ‘‡

The art was super fun to create but was a little tricky at times because you want to have the cleanest edges possible and have lots of coats for each colour. Overall I think I did pretty well.

Hope you liked my art and please comment below.

Trench Diary

Hi everyone, in Term 1 we pretended we were soldiers writing in our diaries during the war. It needed to include our five senses that are see, hear, taste, smell, feel and also write about what we think and feel.
WALT describe using our senses

I can see some dead bodies on the battlefields and barb wires everywhere. There are a few rats crawling around the trench looking for food to eat. Most of the soldiers are still alive like me but unfortunately some have been shot when putting their head up to aim at the enemies. Everyone is quite dirty.

I hear the loud banging sounds made from the horrible bombs and guns. The terribly loud sounds have made a few soldiers have shell shock. I can also hear the occasional moaning made by the soldiers. They say stuff like “Why am I even here”, “I miss home” etc.

I can still taste the disgusting meals we had before with corn beef etc and this very hard and dry biscuit. I can also kind of taste the dusty air in the dry mouth which doesn’t help the tiniest bit. I am still very hungry not like at home we could eat whenever we were starving. We are very short on food as well.

I can smell stinky soldiers (especially the feet) and the bad breath everyone has because there is nowhere to brush your teeth. The air smells smoky and dirty.The toilet (long drop) is not a very good journey and experience because it stinks and is very dirty.

It rained yesterday I can feel the the water in the shoes making my socks all wet. If you stay in the water for too long you can get a disease called trench foot which I do not want to get.

I am kind of scared and nervous at this rate because I don’t want to never see my family again. I also feel very sad because one of my mates have died by a bomb. There is just so many things I want to tell you but I can’t my hands are just too shaky and doesn’t let me write too much. I feel very tired I didn’t get too much sleep.

I think the war is terrible. Why do we even have it? Well wish me good luck for the next few months of fighting. Bye. Miss you guys.
It was really fun to imagine how life was during the war. It was a little hard because we're living in such a high tech world now.

Anzac Day Recount

Hi Everyone! The text below is my recount about what I did on Anzac Day. Take a look and feel free to comment below. 
Play Date with friends
Tick! Tock! Tick Tock! The clock was ticking.
On Anzac Day me, my sister, Yvonne, Eliza and Esther’s mum went to watch the movie Smurfs and go to Jump.
Early in the morning I heard a loud moan coming across the house. What was it? I thought to myself. I slowly climbed out of bed to investigate what the noise was. I quietly unlatched the door and tiptoed so no one could hear me. After a few moments I knew exactly who it was. It was my sister! I put my ear on the door to hear what she was saying exactly. This is what she said, “When is it going to be 10:30am? When are they coming? I can’t WAIT for them to come.” Well she’s probably super excited for our friends to come. Not saying I’m not. I crept back into my room to get changed for the day and packed my bag. After I brushed my teeth and all that stuff I went downstairs to have breakfast. Yum!
Later in the morning my sister came down to have breakfast as well. A while later we were watching some netflix because they weren’t here yet and we were bored. Eventually Yvonne’s mum came to pick us up. We sped off, to the cinemas. We bought the tickets and quietly went into the cinemas, trying to find our seats. The movie started, the ads came on and I watched intently. When the movie ended I felt full of joy. My favourite part was when Smurfette revives from the piece of clay she was made out of in the start. My least favourite part is kind of hard to choose, but I have to say that it was when the Smurfs saved Gargamel when he was drowning in the rampaging river.
After the movie we had lunch at a Vietnam cuisine restaurant. I ordered a chicken on rice. It was delicious! After the food we headed straight to JUMP. Once we got there we got the tickets and waited for our turn to go on. Before that though, the instructor had to tell us the safety rules for the people who didn’t know. The boring instructions were told and we could finally go on the tramps. We did some tricks and played jumping tag. My sister and Yvonne had a battle on the beam in the foam pit battle area. We also played some dodgeball and tried to do THE WALL. Sadly our time was over and we had to head home :(. But I had so much fun playing with my friends!

Ps. I was the one moaning. 😁
