=2014= Blasting with expression I project my voice ...' Oh my apples!' I say. My arms begin to wobble as I stand there arms stretched as long as branches. The scene rolls on. Slowly I creep off the stage. I felt very happy as I knew my lines. I couldn't wait for my next scene. I was so full of energy that I couldn't wait to blast it out. God rushed in and pointed the mightly finger, as god, at Badjelly. I was so proud of the way that I spoke clearly and acted very well. But I have still got to practice this. The next turn for me was my poem. I practised my expression in my head while i was waiting for my turn. My poem was about war ... for the feeling and knowing what it actually means and how bad war is. I stepped to one side on the stage and spoke very clearly about the idea of war. The I changed my voice to a bit lower and sadder and stepped to the other side to say about the reality of war. I felt happy that I spoke loudly and clearly. I reaaly liked the night and feel I did well. It was heaps of fun. || ||

As the energy raced through my body, I quickly got to the house and waited for the lights to shine. The show begins ... I am pumping with energy and am waiting for my line. As the opening scene at the house starts to finish I quickly sneak out as a shadow. Firing to get into my costume and be reborn. Next scene coming up. I am ready as an apple tree. But there is a problem . I need to get to the middle. I slowly creep across the stage and into the middle. I hear my cue as I am our there standing ready to talk.

The painting can be painted in an artist’s style or my own style. || ** Developing Ideas ** • Develop and revisit visual ideas, in response to a variety of motivations, observation, and imagination, supported by the study of artists’ works. ** Communicating and Interpreting ** • Describe the ideas their own and others’ objects and images communicate. || I was proud of the colours I used to panit my knife. I used water to change the colour of my floor boards. I practised painting techniques Iike long brush strokes. On my mobile I showed how milking has changed from the olden days till now. I used a bucket, old cups and new cups to show this. Next time I will use an old bucket with cracks and a new silver cup to show the difference between very old and very new. ||

**__ The Goodnight Kiwi __** The sun went down. The kiwi woke up as the moon slowly floated across the sky. It was night time and it was dinner time. He found a big, juicy worm. “MmmMmm. That’s yum,” he thought as he gobbled it. I chose to create this hungry kiwi because Kiwis are so cute and I want to look after them. I am a New Zealand kiwi with a long sticky nose and slow creeping feet.

2009 I learnt how to make a paper mache bowl. I like the colours on the bowl. I like the pictures of the cars on it. I like how I paper mached the bowl. I learnt how to make a pottery leaf bowl. I made sure that the sides were smooth. We had to make the shape from a leaf. I learnt how to paint a still life. I mixed different colours to make an apple colour. I used white and green. I like the green apple because it took a long time. I worked hard on it.
