My weekend

On the weekend I went over to tyler's house On the first night we went into town to see the opening of the town square It was pretty cool watching the band play, that was really fun. But then came the christmas tree Tbh I think It looks like a rocketship about to take off and It looks a little stupid.. I dont want to be all debbie downer on it but couldn't they just walk into the bush and cut down a huge tree that would look better than it. anyway the next day we went to the christmas parade and the moana flout looked sooo good they had water guns as well and cameron spied me in the crowd and shot me down right in the face. after that we went to were they had the zorb balls and that was really fun.

Then the plan was to go to the heritage and PARTY but that started at 5:15 and it was like 3:30 so me and my older cuzzy went to this fancy icecream place. Being theo and a little bit of a grapefruit I choose chocolate when there were all these fancy ice cream flavours I chose chocolate. then It was the party which was by far by favorite we were all dancing and yea that was my weekend

Weekend recount

So On the weekend Me and niko had to do some filming for some kind of promotion thingy for the west coast that took about half the day. Anyway after that Ridge came over. At our house there is a construction site that has been like that for about 5 years half built this hole time But beside that there is another construction site that is actually getting built on put A lot of rubbish in the one that has been half built for 5 years. when i say rubbish i mean polistiren A LOT OF Polystyrene. so in this half built house there is a hallway and there is no roof on top of this hallway so we grabbed all of the polystyrene  and made stairs so we could climb out of the hallway this took a long time and the stairs were so so so dogey they were falling and snapping when we were climbing. After that we had a bb gun war during this we went into the construction site that was actually getting built on and climbed the roof and sat up there. The next day me niko ridge went out on the boat and I had a blast wakeboarding.

The station was bright. And smelled like feet. The bustling of the people made me cringe as I boarded the train. I stared down at my shoes as I mounted the steps, a lump in my throat when I realised I was boarding the wrong subway. I tried to escape but the doors…. They closed. I groaned in frustration, as I remembered that I didn’t have breakfast. My Face Lifted as I remembered that I always Pack a pack of biscuits in case of an emergency like this. I unzipped my leopard-print fanny pack and fished out a lollipop; but no biscuits. I stared down in disbelief, where were me girl guide bikkys. As I whipped my head from side to side in panic, I spotted fatman in stubbies with wis massive butt squeezed into the cheap plastic seats, munching on cookies. I approached the tub of lard and reached for my cookies. I could taste the sweet chocolate dipped vanilla biscuits. “I'm coming my love,” I said, but as I grabbed them, the man growled ferociously. I whimpered in fright, it was the devil of mcdonald's himself. I backed away slowly, fearing the wrath of his quivering double chin. But before he could attack, the subway carriage shuddered to a halt and a voice came over the intercom; “We have arrived at McStreet, anybody getting off should get a move on”.  My tummy growled, demanding the cookies that were taken from me. As I stepped out of the foul-smelling carriage, I glanced at the fat man that stole my biscuits. “I will get you for this” I said as I backed out of the subway looking him straight in the eyes. You wait….

Blood. Sweat. Tears. And burgers. The relentless hustle to best the fat man at his own game; being fat. Over the past 300 days, I have eaten nothing but Mcfood, and Mcwater. Jiggled down the stairs, adrenaline pumping through my clogged arteries. As I took my first step outdoors for what felt like years, I saw him. Everything around me was destroyed. an apocalypse Over the Past 300 days The fat man has eaten everything even the brussel sprouts. Causing the world to collapse under the weight of his rolls. I faced the fat man His burped. It was a hurricane. The food was served. I stared down at the plate and started in the biggest eat off in history.

xXx return of Xander cage (response writing)

For the past 3 Weeks Ruma J (my class) has been writing responses for movies,books,art and even rugby matches! Basicly we chose something to write a response on, after we wrote the response we had to make a creative response. This could include A fake movie trailer, highlights of the rugby match and artwork. I did my response on the moive xXx return of xander cage; for my creative response I did a movie trailer.
enjoy

 xXx Return of Xander Cage

xXx return of xander cage is a HIGH action movie directed by D. J. Caruso and written by Rich Wilkes. The movie is about Xander cage (vin diesel) who has to race against time to recover a sinister weapon called pandora's box,  which can control  every military satellite in the world.  Xander cage finds himself entangled in a deadly conspiracy that points to collusion at the highest levels of government. With 2 hours of intense action, xXx Is a 85 million dollar movie, with some of the best leading actors.

xXx has breath taking stunts, with high risk and high reward. This movie leaves you on the edge of your seat.

The extremely high action is perfect and is just what people want. The majority of action movies these days are boring until the end, when there is 5 minutes of just explosions which in itself is a bit boring. In the first 10 minutes of xXx, Xander cage jumps off a phone tower with skis on and skis down a dirt mountain. A critic stated: “With all the requisite explosions, chases and gunfights you'd want, Vin Diesel returns to revive yet another action franchise in a highly entertaining, deliriously preposterous crash-bam adventure”.

The stunts are Incredible, with lots of dangerous scenes like the downhill longboarding , Massive fight scenes WITH explosions, Skiing down a dirt hill through the forest, after jumping off a huge phone tower, and let's not forget the motorbike fighting scene. One viewer said the movie is “filled with lots of action and gunfights, definitely worth watching,Vin Diesel never seems to disappoint.”

The expert script somehow is able to keep you entertained for 1 hour and 50 minutes which is a long time. The nonstop action is what people want to see. And the little jokes just make movie exceptional and more enjoyable to watch.

Overall I think this movie is Funny,action packed and has some great directing.

The reviews might say otherwise, but I say that you should get off of your chair and go watch this movie, because you don't want to miss it.

Area of a circle

My weekend

This weekend was a Fun one, so I will start it from the top. On saturday we played league. we lost. But it was a great game we had moments of ABSOLUTE GLORY. and as always we had moments horrible tackling. That day i picked up the all blacks jersey. oh also we lost the league game by the way. That night me and niko were home alone because tasmin was in blenheim and dad and mum had to go to the hotel. So I made A Tomato based sauce with onions and sausages that was in the sauce base AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD. The next day We went down to the lake and drove the boat to a beach and had a cook up with the tosty pie machine which you stick into the fire so it gets really hot and cooks the sandwich. We  went home and chilled out so it was a great weekend.

Division problems

My Weekend

On the weekend I played league. We lost big time but we got a lot out of that game My kicking and passing was good and so was my tackling overall I had a good game but not everybody did One of our wingers were nowhere to be seen when the Opposition came out there he was nowhere to be found. Anyway on sunday we worked around the house I cleaned the car and then after lunch we went to the hotel and grabbed some Wood. When we got home I pumped up a rugby world cup 2011 ball and started to learn a new Kicking strategy.

The Icknield way response

The Icknield Way painted by Spencer Gore is a wonderful Piece of artwork. It is a painting of a Valley when the sun is setting. The painting is of a country road in 1912, the beautiful lights of the sky is beaming down onto the grass and making the world have a pinkish tinge to it. The sky steals the show with its vibrant colors which can stop you in your tracks.

This artwork shows Spencer Gore's skill with his brush and lets the viewer finally see what the perfect sunset is, the artworks strong points are color choice,landscape and its calming nature.

The calming nature

This artwork captures the perfect sunset. With no human life to be seen, no Roar of a motor or the sound of the city, you can really relax.

The Calming colours like green,yellow and pink , beaming sun and that  you're left  to yourself Is, for me, very calming.

Color choice

Spencer Gore used very very nice colors choices, with the use of hot and cold it relaxes the eyes and you wish that you were there. The sky steals the show with its pink yellow contrast. The greens that Spencer used brings out the valley and brings thought to this painting.

How this links to me

This links to me because at my house there is a similar farm rode on the top of some planes when I sit there and watch the sunset it makes me thing about a lot of things and it makes me feel the same as when I look at this painting.

Overall I like this painting because of the sky and the road in the middle. The background,middleground and foreground all contrast each other.

I recommend going to see this painting In person or learning about spencer gore.

Then the highlanders THEN THEY LET A PENALTY THROUGH. and michael hunt GOT THE KICK!
the score was 22-22 and the siren sounded and it was now overtime. with 15 fazes white crockett told hunt JUST DO SOMETHING. so hunt lined up a 40m drop kick and it was OVER.

My weekend w3

This weekend was action packed it all started saturday afternoon when we went off to play league. we were versing suburbs this weekend and they are a hard side. any way our first half was not very good we let a lot of players through on our wing and quite a few drop balls. In our second half we scored a good try I did a out the back door to riley and he had a run away. We got a ride home with our friend hamish. on sunday we just cruised out and played at home.

This week for homework I decided to share my knowledge on Motorbikes.

This links to school because In tech we are doing metal work, also this type of skill is not around much in our generation and I would like to share a basic knowledge on this subject, Enjoy!  

My weekend

On the weekend we played league we were versing cobden It started out well, I scored the first try and our team was looking forward to a possible win. But there was one problem, We had 10 players on the field and they had 13 players on the field, so they kept on scoring points out wide because we always had an overlap. at half time we were given 3 players from the other team to make the game fair and I have to say I think we won the second half. On sunday we got up at 5.00 am to go duck shooting. We Went up around landcorp and I got to use the side by side shotgun I did not get a duck Down but I did inguer one and tony robson finished him off.
