2017 Reflection!

Production Rehearsal

Production!

The pressure was coming. It was only minutes till our fist show and Mrs. Hobbs saying that all the night shows had sold out was not helping our nerves. So there I sat in one of Mrs. Strathern's chairs getting old make up and way to much glitter applied to my face. The rain is hitting room nines window like stones so by the time I got to the hall I was lucky not to have any mascara running down my face. I quickly dash across the stage, grab my microphone and make it to my starting position only seconds before the lights go out. The lights light up again and I here Gracie's voice echoing across the stage, the music cuts her of and the spotlight moves to my scene, I take my first step onto the stage, it was my time to shine. We run through scene after scene without a hitch ( unlike rehearsal) until we get to the end the part were Rubi always forgets her line. Her face goes red. I quickly turn of my microphone and whisper the lines to her and relief flashes across her face. The crowd started clapping crazily. We had done it, we had performed our production that we had worked so hard on.

Only Up! 23.8.17

Only Up!

It was my choice, no harness no backing down. Despite the pain I’ve always loved rock climbing but this is the riskiest stunt I’ve tried yet. I’m feeling like a rising champion as my fingers grip onto yet another black finger hold. The volcano that stands to the left of me is now casting his shadow over the ocean meaning that the sun that had just been tapping on my shoulder was creeping away. “Shoot!” I mutter, I knew I should have started climbing earlier and it now looks like I’m having to face the consequences for climbing in the dark had not been what I’d signed up for. I can taste the saltiness of my sweat running over my lips making the dust that had escaped from the rock face stick to my face like an invisible sheet. I quickly step up my pace and put the nasty thoughts of me plummeting into the murky water below at the back of my mind. To take my mind off that I think about my future how when I do make it to the top I’ll be a worldwide champion or as some may say the best of the best. “Ahh!” My fingers are now aching I’d always thought I’d been nice and fit but at this moment I feel heavier than a hundred shot puts. A small grunt escapes my lips as I strain my muscles to take yet another lunge towards the top, towards victory. The weight of the parachute is most definitely not helping yet health and safety was right it was better to safe than sorry. I reach up but touch a ragged rock instead of another finger hold and the blood starts dripping out. Great. Just great. I’m still only ¾ of the way up but I’ve run out of strength, I quickly fiddle to find the parachute strap.“Ahh!” I scream, the tiredness and pain had gotten to me. I’d just let go.

A balancing act 16.8.17

A Balancing Act!

When you're standing on top of the world you're feeling nervous, passionate and tense. One more step will either lead to victory or death. He felt the rope beneath his feet the sun tapping on his shoulder as he takes yet another step closer to his goal. The clouds are his only company for he is higher than the birds can fly and closer to the stars than the ground.

Speech 2017!

Speech Reflection!

My speech topic this year was whether the government is doing enough to prevent smoking. I think they are. The things I should have done better were engage eye contact with the audience, read my introduction clearer and involve the audience more. Although I didn't do these thing I found some awesome facts and came up with a cool topic.

Native Bush Poem! 15.6.17

Native Bush Poem!

The chair stands like a solider, solid and strong.

While the leaves dance with the breeze to an unknown song.

The flax take up cheer-leading.

As the leaves from the treetops watch over looking like emerald beading.

The cobwebs perch between trees with all there glistening bends.

While the sun peers from behind the mountain meaning another day is at end.   

Maths 5.5.17

Maths!

Today in maths Mrs. Hobbs has been teaching us how to copy, draw and build Isometric shapes. First we had to copy two shapes from the bord onto a piece of isometric paper. After that we had to come up with our own shape then build it out of blocks. This was really hard but fun when we got the hang of it, here's a picture of me and my shape.

What would happen if humans disappeard?

🐼🌵What would happen if humans disappeared?🌵🐼

Humans have a huge impact on animals habitat in fact were so important to some that if we were to disappear it could cause instinctshin to things like to rats, cockroaches and body and head lice. Within the first two weeks electricity would go out so electric fences will lose their sting causing around 1.5 billion cows, 1 billion pigs and more than 20 billion chocks to ether escape from their pen, become food for other animals or starve from not having humans feed them regularly. Without electric pumps roads and subway tunnels will become rivers along with that hundreds of houses made of timber will be wiped out by fire seen as their would be no fire fighters a single lightning struck would be enough to burn down a hole suburb. After 100 years their will be no wood buildings left and anything made of steel will be starting to disappear to. Steel is mostly iron and without humans consistently giving it layers of paints and coatings it will turn back to it's native form or rust. By now it's been a few hundred years and the animals that we had driven to near extinction will have repopulated leaving plant earth almost as we found it. Maybe animals would have been better of without us existing.
