Art

Art is one of the main things of the world. Without, art most things wouldn’t exist. Like skyscrapers and houses because the builders have to look at diagrams so they know what they are doing. Art doesn’t have to be a picture it can be playdough, clay, pottery and ceramics even photography. There are lots of different types of art like dance and music, paint and clay and then you have your martial arts. All of these different types of art are all good for calmness and relaxation. But with all, art you at least need to have some kind of equipment, for a picture paint and pencils, music, instruments and so on.


Art is one of my favourite things to do especially ceramics. Ceramics are made with special stuff called slip. The slip is poured into a mould and left there for a certain amount of time and then taken out as a hard but still delicate ceramic and then put in a kilm. But even after being in the kilm it is still breakable but it is much harder than before. You can use different types of paint so you can use the ceramics in your everyday life or you can use different paint for different colours and textures. My favourite paint is the chunky paint that makes the paint feel funny. There is another paint that is called a gloss and it makes the ceramic usable and smooth. The thing is with most paint you need to recoat the paint. With different, coloured paint you need more or less coats than others.


A great way to get into art is to watch TV shows in the kids channel like Mr. Maker and things like that. Another thing that you can do is buy a sketching pad or get a piece of paper and search how to draw in steps. This is a great way to learn because you don’t have to go anywhere to have lessons. This is also a good thing because you don’t need much paper and it doesn’t cost much. All you need is a pencil and paper so you don’t need many supplies. And if you want more supplies then you can just make a quick stop and buy them at Paper Plus or another store like that.


When you get really good you can become an artist and sell lots of artwork and get money. Or you can put your art in museums like Leonardo Da Vinci did with the Mona Lisa. You can even become a Famous artist like Vincent Van Gogh and all the others. Being an artist is a big thing I mean look at Leonardo he painted the last supper for royals now that is what I call a special job. Lots of artists describe their feelings in their art and some even put in hidden things don’t you think that’s cool?


Well now you know about art, famous artists and what to do if you get pro now go and be an artist, make the world better, be famous.

The BTB auction

                       The next BTB (better than before) auction
"Going for 4 BTB points". Hello if you are wondering what I'm doing I am participating in the room 6 class auction. I am waiting for the pencils to start. Finally, the pencils are on auction "three BTB points!" I yell. I really need a new pencil I only have two in my desk. "And sold to Natasha for three BTB points"."Yay" I yell and gently put the pencil in my pocket. I now have twenty-five BTB points but I think I can still get the gun I have been waiting to get. It is on auction right now "fourteen" someone yells "Eighteen" yells another. "Twenty-five I yell. Everyone stops I just hope it was enough to keep it. "And sold to Natasha for twenty BTB points" says the teacher. I start jumping up and down madly like a joey. I think that this BTB auction is the best ever.

My Magnificent Monday Morning
I wake up to the sound of my alarm at seven o’clock in the morning (I also hear my sisters snoring) but I really don’t want to get up out of my warm bed. It is cold as Antarctica this morning. I  yawn and groan before getting up and turning the alarm off. 'Well time to get up for school' I think to myself. Just before I am dressed once I am dressed into the warmest school clothes I can find, I wander downstairs but I bump into the hard wall at my right Ouch! It felt like  a brick wall. Once my mum sees me she asks “Hot chocolate with cocoa pops?” “yes please” I answer tiredly. After, breakfast I brush my knotted hair. It is always hard for me to brush my hair because I can never find a comfortable spot in my bed it is hard like a rock. Next, I grab my Chromebook, check that it’s charged and head to the car with my bag and packed lunch and put them in the car. Next, I watch my favourite show Bugs Bunny. It is my favourite because of Daffy Duck he is so funny. When we finally get going in the freezing car I grab my reading book out of my bag and start reading it. After about twenty minutes we arrive at school. My mum takes me into the class and I show her what I have been working on. Once I showed her she goes quickly to play centre to help get ready for the session. So that is my Monday morning.

 The Time I Hid.
I am sitting uncomfortably in my grandma’s big wardrobe just waiting for her to find me, so far it is taking so long it feels like hours. If you’re wondering what I am doing I’m playing hide and seek with my grandma. There are lots of colourful clothes around me and lots of cobwebs and dust too. Everything is dark, very dark and I can barely see out of the gap in the door. I hear footsteps they are getting closer and the dust makes me want to sneeze I must keep still and quiet as a mouse or she will find me. The footsteps get even closer than before they are right in front of me. I am still as a statue but it is very hard when the floor is cold and covered in shoes. The footsteps finally go away to a different spot and I stretch out. Suddenly they come back and I can’t help but laugh. When she opens the door of the closet I try to scare her with a loud ”PEEK-A-BOO”! Although it never scares her. The game is finally over but I wonder what will happen when I am the seeker.

the BTB auction of awesomeness

                                                                  The BTB auction
Today we had a BTB auction, it is when the class brings in things they don't want and other people buy them with BTB points, I brought in some motorbike magazines my dad had finished.For those that don't know what BTB points are, they are points you can earn in class if you are good and are on task. I got twenty-six BTB points and it was just enough to get a nerf gun with one green bullet.I have never used one before and I used twenty-five BTB points to get it. I was looking for something that no one was bidding on but my plan backfired and Sahara got, the rulers that were left from the auction. It was one of the best auctions I've had and I can't wait for the next one.
