African Art

African art has been around for 2000 years. Originally they used paints made out of roots and pollen out of plants. The reason they use bright paints is because to show show their emotion and their culture. Usually they don't put their art on canvases they use different types of fabric. uslay the woman were the ones that go get the resources and they make the paint.

the rich & the poor

the rich & the poor

have you notice that rich people can NEVER have enough gadgets and clothes (etc) but they never realize that the most important things are so valuable that even the fancy shops don’t sell them.

poor people are happier than rich people because, poor people have nothing to cling onto, but rich people do because they think what they have is never enough, When really its more than they need. The poor are happy for what they have and and more thankful even though they might have not got the latest Iphone, and the rich just keeps gaining on stuff they don’t need to make them “Happy”, when all they actually want is stuff for them self to look better. Money can’t buy happiness and it certainly can’t buy you love, but to the rich, love and happiness doesn't matter to them, but all the poor can think about is life, happiness and how they will FIND food and water for them to live.

Why We Should Have Dogs at School

Why We Should Have Dogs at School

Today on wacky hair day we had a grey canine named Jazz in the year 6 homeroom and everyone was excited. We got told that we might have a school dog if we can treat it with respect and dignity. I think a dog will be great at school because it will help people when they are feeling down, because they can pat him/her.

People can read to the dog and the dog won't judge you if you do or say something wrong. Dogs will make school feel more welcoming and homely to visitors and students. It also relieves stress and everyone will be happy to pat the dog while working.

Character description - 29 story tree house

The 26 Story Treehouse

By Terry Denton and Andy Griffiths

This incredibly funny story is about the crazy adventures in their massive tree house. The main Character’s are the two boys who live in the treehouse, Andy and Terry and a girl named Jill. This is the book after “The 13 storey treehouse” but this book is kind of the pre sequel because it’s talking about the characters back story before they lived in the treehouse.

Terry

The goofie illustrator who has crazy and mad ideas for anything that comes in his way. He is not the brightest in fact Andy has a list of the most stupidest things he has ever done, even in the 26 story treehouse he does some beyond idiotic activities; he feed his underpants to the sharks.

As a child Terry would always have to listen to his parents, his parents where very cautious of him so they left him a padded room and his food was mushed up in a cup and he had to sit in a padded chair with a seatbelt attached to it, even his underpants were inflatable in case of an emergency!. witch came in handy when there was a fire in his apartment and since he lived at the very top of an apartment building he was trapped, and his only choice was to jump out of his window and he quickly pulled the cord off his underpants and he drifted of to safety. But unfortunately he landed in a river, that made him drift off to sea. But that's where he meet Andy in a swan paddle boat and they paddled off.

Andy

  

The spontaneous writer who loves Ice cream A LOT and Andy is slightly smarter than Terry, he also likes his 29 story tree house he found.

Andy ran away from his family and was running away from some pirates who made the treehouse Andy stole; Andy was running all around town until Andy jumped on a paddle boat and went out to sea and meet Terry and saved him, together they found a pirate ship.

Sacrifice - R.E

Sacrifice

Sacrifice means to sacrifice something for someone or something (e.g Jesus sacrificed his life for us.)

Sacrifice started when Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree; they disobeyed God. Adam and Eve now knew things only God should know so they knew that it was embarrassing to not wear clothes. God now felt sorry for them and killed a sheep to make them clothes, so from then on everytime there was a baby somewhere there was an animal killed for clothes for the baby to wear.

Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice because he gave his life for us, even though people didn't believe him and we were rude to Jesus; and Jesus still loved us.

Moment In Time - Cross Country 2015

Cross Country

I was nearly at the end but I was second and Ellie was close in front. I noticed that she was slowing down, "my time has come!" I thought to myself. I dashed and I gradually got in front of Ellie. It felt like I was flying because I couldn't feel my legs and I fought myself to the finish line. The relief came to me. I felt a bit dizzy but I was proud of myself and my classmates. I came first and bet the last years winner! 

 

Beautiful Things God Made.

God made every animal and everything, everything is different and nothing is alike, Everything is special.

A waterfall in a beautiful peaceful forest, with wonderful trees around it. This tells me that everything is so amazing and that you should treasure everything.
