My Friend Description - Kayde Inia

The friend I have decided to write about was a close friend of mine and his name is Kayde. He is a interesting friend. Short, chubby light coloured skin is the 3 easiest words to describe him. He isn’t as tall as a tree and small as a mouse.

He is a very energetic person he is always up for a game of rugby or so. Also when there is complete silence he always says something awkward just put smiles on peoples faces. Whenever he around it feels as if the room will be filled with laughter.

The thing that I know that interest Kayde is got to be rugby whenever the subject were talking about is boring he jumps straight into talking about rugby no matter who’s around. He is a Huge fan of the Vodafone Warriors and he is rooting for NSW to win.

When im around kayde im always having fun i’m never bored there's always something that pops into his head for us to do at times. Whether it’s evil or good we always do it anyway if we get into trouble we always get into trouble together we always make eachother laugh, and keep each other company and always have fun. The End

Character Description - Ella

Ella. Scrolled down the list heart thumping, about to jump out of her body. When bang she landed on her name the joy that shot through her body like a bolt of electricity going through power lines. She jumped for joy and everyone around her wondered why she was acting weird. She had made it in the team !.

She jumped and twisted and twirled than stood there staring at her friends with a big grin across her face, telling her friends that she had finally made the team. The girl was a very talented netball player and she also represented the school in every single way possible. But then again she lacked the confidence to in her abilities. So she was still staring at the board. Stoked about being on the list.

Charles F. Goldie

The painting I have chose to re-produce was A Noble Relic of A Noble Race, Wharekauri Tahuna of Ngati Manawa. This was painted 1910 AD the man in the portrait died at an old age of 102. It was painted in Ngati Manawa a.k.a Bay of Plenty. The paintings origin is obviously Aotearoa, And it was painted with oil on canvas. The thing that took my eye was the moko around his face, it grabbed my attention to all the little details to it and the meaning towards it.


Charles Frederick Goldie was born on October 20th. He was raised by his mother and father. David Goldie and Maria Parkington they were a poor family and didn’t have much things. Charles was raised in a family with 7 other siblings 8 including himself. David Goldie Charles father was a timber merchant, politician and a strict Primitive Methodist.




This term in Extension, we were given a task to pick one of Charles Frederick Goldie. The painting that I have chosen to reproduce was 'A Noble Relic of A Noble Race'. This is a painting of an old maori man that is sitting down resting. The thing that I found out was the most challenging was the Moko because all of the little detail that was in it, there was so many things that I couldn't get into the moko like all little detailed bits that had too many detail to get in. Also the wrinkles that I couldn't do.


I hope that anyone that comes to the Point England Art Exhibition that is taking place at our own school. I Hope that people come because all the students in the school have put all there effort into it. 

Kiwi Kick

As we arrived at the courts, the wind slapped my face, it felt as if its hands were as cold as neptune. It gave me chills down my back and made the hair on my neck stand tall. My abdomen was cold and my teeth chattered and than my body started to feel numb all over. I quickly sat down waiting for something to happen.

At first we had to find ourselves a teammate my team mate was a good friend of mine Matthew, between us we had to pick who was going to be a Polar Bear or a Penguin. I got picked as a penguin but it was okay. So I had to go and get the ball, I had to run back I was so jittery and jumpy that at one point the ball shot through my hands and went into the sky.

The ball flew forward and back like we were playing a game of soccer in the air. “To me Matthew not towards the toilets” I shouted at him whenever he passed it to me it either flew to the sides of me or over me. Whichever one I picked it still wasn’t good!. So we decided that if we were closer maybe, it would’ve been better.

At the end of the day we all had something new to show others in AFL ( Australian Football League ). Its always fun to go to Kiwi Kick. You always learn something new and its fun to learn how to play the game itself.

Matisse and Picasso Analysis

 In Room 20 we had to study two artist by the names of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. We then had to analyse two of their famous artworks Picasso's A Weeping Woman and Matisse's A Woman With A Hat. Picasso is a Cubist artist, which means that in the majority of his painting he included different perspectives and often geometric shapes. Matisse's style on the other hand is Fauvism, meant he paints with unrealistic colours.

Picasso was born on October the 25th 1881 and then later died in April 8th 1973 at an old age of 92 and Matisse was born on December 31st 1869 dying on the 3rd of November 1954 at a old age of 84. Both artist were outstanding but they each had different types of art compared to each other. Picasso in most of his artwork had more than one perspective. Matisse always had more than one unrealistic colour in his artworks.

The themes of the art were all so different Picasso had painted the woman in a sad way due to there being a spanish civil war going on which resolved in Picasso's painting ‘Guernica’. Picasso’s ‘A Weeping Woman’ showed how sad she was due to all of the war going on in Spain. While Matisse’s ‘A Woman With a Hat’ based on an expressionless painting. He was more concerned about trying out different colours, and trying out a different painting style.

The two, have both different colours too it. Matisse used unrealistic colours in his painting but whenever it came to shading he always used some other colour to show it instead of just making a colour darker to match it. Picasso when he painted he used shades of yellow and he didn’t use shading all that much.

Picasso used dark black outlines, while Matisse used rough textures some clear outlines. Picasso used Mostly sharp jagged lines, and distorted perspectives. While Matisse on the other hand used many blurred out and they were smudged as well.

What I have summarised from all of this is that Matisse and Picasso are both different What I have summarised from all of this is that Matisse and Picasso are both different painters in nearly every way. They both had different themes, to it and the shading was completely different. An with all of this data I have concluded that they were both weird artist’s and that could barely ever paint a proper portrait without having either different perspectives or oddly coloured people. So to me the only thing I can say that compares them completely is that they are both weird people.

My Les Twins Reflection

In extension we were given a task to research a person to do a Bio on them. It wasn't all that hard at first we had to get some information on them and then we had to put together a presentation, unfortunately I never finished my presentation which was suppose to be 2 minutes i only ended up with a 16sec presentation.

But with all the information I gathered on the Les Twins was important I think that I had to more or less revolve around the putting everything together part of it. Next time I should make the effort to actually do the things that I know that I have to get finished and not muck around. So for our next task gien im going to put all my time into my project.

What I have concluded is that the Les Twins are a good duo together and that they took a lot of time into doing things that they wanted to achieve and to get where they are now. It might of taken some time but you have to be patient because you don't become famous in one day. The End

My Mihimihi!!!
