City Railway Link Art

As part of an art class with Miss Down we created images that will be displayed in the country’s busiest rail station, once it opens to the public in 2023/2024.

These images will be used and turned in a ceramic tile and display within the station.

The Storm

Room  Five has written some amazing senses poems about the storm that happened last night. This is my poem:

I see the trees collapsing, blocking the street.
I hear the wind howling outside.
I smell the smoke coming from the chimney.
I taste the crisp air coming from the crack underneath the door.
I touch my snugly blankets covering me and keeping me warm. 
I lye in silence feeling tired and scared slowly drifting to sleep.

Learning about Jesus

In religious education we learnt about how Jesus is important to us. We were also learning about how the bread and wine are symbols of Jesus.

The Reason Kiwis are Endangered

I am learning to: entertain my audience with a narrative

One night a kiwi is in a dark bush scavenging for food. when he sees bright lights coming from outside of the bush. He is curious since he has never seen a source of light before. He starts heading towards them. “Plonk” falling and stumbling rocking up and down “toooooot” he tries to scramble of but the boat is to rocky. Little kiwi hides in a corner hoping no one can see him. Thoughts are gushing through his head. Where am i?

“Splash” the water gets rougher and rougher. kiwi clings to the wall. “Ahhhh” it’s to late someone has spotted him. A tall lady that looks like a big hairy rug towering over little kiwi. The lady throws him over bored. Strong west currents push him around. In the distance he sees a big group of things swimming towards him. As they get closer he realises the speed there traveling at. “Bom” He’s been hit. Then everything starts to spin around. He closes his eyes and falls into a dark world. But as he is falling to his death a miracle happens.

“Cough cough”. He opens his eyes to find a turtle slapping him.
“Well now your awake i’ll be on my way” the turtle says.
A confused face hits little kiwi. But he doesn’t stop to think he stands up and shouts “thank you!” A man approaches him with a boy at his side.
“Hello little fella ” dad said talking to kiwi.
“Dad what is it” said the little boy questioning dad.
“I think it’s a cat” “Well whatever it is let’s take it to the vet”,
“Good idea” replies the little boy.
“Hello how can i help you” the vet says taking to dad,
“We found this thing on the beach” replies dad,
“Ohh no way i’m touching that thing do it yourself” the vet says in a concerned voice.
“Ok if you say so”,
“I think it’s this one” dad says worryingly to little boy.
“What did you do dad” says the little boy shocked.
“Well um I don’t know”,
“I think you turned it into a spider” says little boy looking at dad, the kiwi now had eight legs with 12 eyes. He was furry but he didn’t have any feathers.
“By the looks of it” “anyway let’s go see what’s for lunch” dad says. And hurrys of before the vet catches him. Little kiwi (little spider) looks at himself and sighs. A feeling comes to his mind. He pounces on the vet and digs his fangs into him. The vet falls to his knees and cries in pain.

Over the years it has happened a lot and that is why Australia has so many spiders and and kiwis are endangered.

Free Writing

Once upon a time King Henry the eighth was lounging around his palace. He had an idea. He demanded his guards to send a message around town that his daughter was getting married. It was strange of him to do this since he didn’t like his daughter.

The next day a whole crowd of men were flocking the streets. The daughter didn’t like any of them. So Henry told the guards to find a frog. They did as they were told and a few minutes later returned to the castle with the frog they had caught.

King Henry was very pleased and asked his daughter to kiss the frog. She did so and a lovely prince appeared. But since it was back in the fifteenth hundredths she was considered a witch and was sent to get executed. Oops.

My Mantra

It never gets easier. You just get better.

This means that don't give up if it's hard because the more you try the better you get.
