Starry Starry Night writing marks.

Hey did you know that one of the most famous painters painted the well known and valuable piece of art Starry Starry Night? And you know what that painting reminds me of? New life and deat. Here is some more of what I notice:

In the foreground is the steeple and the curvy cypress tree. The first thing that I saw when looked at the painting I noticed that there were two pointy objects the stand out to keep the painting balanced. The object that stood out the most out of the steeple and cypress tree was the tree because it caught my eye as soon as I looked at the painting.
Shinning Bright stars on a really exaggerated sky the main colour is blue and the colour that mostly stands out is bright yellow. I like the dark colour blue because it was bright for the swirl in the sky and dark blue reminds me of anger and death but the light blue reminded me of new life and happiness.

I like the painting that Van Gogh did and the way I look back at his painting is that it is very balanced. Looking at the two objects is what made it balanced and the way I look Back at my writing is that I have every thing that makes a paragraph and im proud of my writing.

Vincent Van gogh story

The things that I know about Van gogh is what Im going to share with you today, I hope you would love my story about the things I found out about this artist.

The first thing I ever found out about Vincent van gogh is that he was a man with a sad life, and his life was so sad that he cut off his ear and sent it to his girlfriend. He was born in 1853 but died in a gunshot wound in 1890 that was awhile ago. The person who shot him was himself and suffered pain lonely in his room lying on the floor dead.

Here are some paintings he painted while he was still alive:.
Sunflowers

Vincent Van Goghs Sunflowers

Here are my Markings for my writing.

A extremely famous painter Vincent van gogh painted the well known picture sunflower. The sunflower was oil painted and did you know it was 73 x 92.  it was well known in 1888 when van gogh painted it.

The lines on Vincent van gogh’s painting were very thick bold lines not like normal one’s that other painter do. Van gogh’s texture is thick and bold not like the other artist that paint. The space that van gogh uses is that there is no spare spaces and that the colour is vibrant and colourful but show the colour yellow which means happiness.

The way I think about Van Gogh's paintings about the Sunflowers is that the paintings look very realistic. His painting are all beautiful and, I think it would be a awesome decoration for Paul Gauguin in his room. Why I think its interesting is because it reminds me of young and death and also happiness.

I think Van Gogh painted it because he was happy and he was so excited to decorate Paul Gauguin’s room and he was a very sad man with a sad life. I think that Van Gogh thought that it was going to be perfect for Paul Gauguin’s room. Why he painted it is because he was excited thats why he put yellow in it.

The way I look back at the writing I just did it just that it made sense and all the things that would make a paragraph. I think Van gogh lived a sad life, and some times he was cheerful and i think his sun flower paintings a very valuable. He got lots of money 40,000,000,000 dollars is the record.

My day at swimarama Antonio

We had such a wonderful day at Swimarama the day was so successful day and we had lots of fun, Enjoy my story :)

Finally we have our day to refresh ourselves and be able to enjoy the day we have together with our cousins Paula and Sika. As we arrived at Swimarama, we just sat down and waited. One thing was sad, the outdoor pool was closed. When we entered the indoor pool it was so big that there was an whole camp inside.  Imagine if it was outside, it would have been very small.

When we were ready to swim, we were so cold that we wanted to go into a hot pool and it came true because we did go into a small pool warm pool, it was so relaxing. As we were swimming these kids came and asked us if we wanted to play rugby in the pool, and we disagreed because my Aunt said that it was so dangerous that it might hurt little kids on the head.

WOW Guess how starving I was, I was 100’/. hungry and guess what we had for lunch? It was packs filled with tuna sandwiches, chocolate bars, bananas, doritos and a drink it was so delicious. After we eat, we have a 10 minute break and we have to have a rinse before we go back into the pool. We asked our Aunt if we can go into the big pool and we couldn’t because Sika was so small he couldn't swim.

The way I feel and look back at my day at Swimarama is that it had good conclusion and i think it hooked people in and the audience. I hoped you enjoyed my story :)

Maud Island Frogs.

Maud Island frogs, are one of the four frogs that a native to New Zealand, and they a different to other frogs.

Normal frogs live in water but this Maud Island frog doesn't. The reason why Maud Island frogs don’t live in water, is because they don’t have webbed feet thats why they live in damp places. Maud Island frogs live at Marlborough Sounds, and they live in bushes, trees, steep hills, under rotten logs and above sea level.

Maud Island frogs are carnivores, eating Beetles, Insects, larvae and worms. The way that Maud island frogs catch their food is not similar to any other frog. They catch them by pouncing and shoving them in their mouth EWW!!.

Their predators for Maud Island frogs A lizards. They sneak up on the frogs when they a busy then they get them very fast like a snap.There are only a few Maud Island Frogs. because the rats from another habitat, brought the disease to the Island that why they got rid of all the rats at Maud Island.

I really hope that these frogs can survive the Island and also that the rats can find another place to stay instead of spreading diseases around Maud Island.
