The great adventure

The great adventure part 1,2,3

Part 1 the gymnastics on the stairs

I am rolling down the stairs in my sleeping bag like a rolling rock, actually, that's not quite right.I am slipping now roly-poling down the stairs in my sleeping bag at high speed bumping into walls on the way down.I am in a fancy hotel in France with my friends, Sinead and Bridget. it has been so good so far but I still can’t believe Sinead brought her annoying brother with her( she even regretted it but her Mum made her).But what I didn’t know was something a lot more unexpected is going to happen but I can’t tell you what they are yet, it’s a secret for now.Anyway back to the story, I am doing part of my gymnastics routine on the stairs and My head hurts because on the way down the stairs I  grazed it on my way down.And to make matters worse some of the blood on my forehead went onto the stairs.Suddenly I see blood on the stairs.

look around I didn’t see that before but the I feel my head.“Ahhhh” I’m Bleeding on top of My head Suddenly I bumped into my friend Sinead literary I bumped into her, not on purpose of course.But soon she knocked over the line for the toilet Bridget was first so it sent Bridget head-first into the toilet bowl. But while I was getting up I lost sight of Sinead.

Thanks for reading part 1, please read part 2 next.

Part 2 the toilet!

I am running into the toilets at speed now,[the toilets are automatic] my head goes into the toilet bowl and just at that moment the automatic toilet FLUSHES!!!!!!!!How did this happen you may ask well, we all went to France (me, Natasha and Sinead, Sinead's brother and our parents)and we came to this fancy hotel and now we are staying here for a holiday. Oh, and did I mention Shaymus came too ( Sinead’s older brother, she regretted it a lot )so the toilets here are automatic and I have a fear of automatic toilets. All I remember is that Natasha was roly-polying towards the line, then knocking Sinead down, which knocked 3 strangers down, and the last stranger that was behind me pushed me which sent me running at high speed and I couldn’t stop, and then the doors open, someone walks out I am coming in at high speed.Next thing I find my head stuck in the toilet bowl. I could smell chlorine and water went into my mouth, then it FLUSHED it felt gruesome and I think what is happening what is happening and that kept on going on in my mind. So that's what happened!

thanks for reading parts 2 and part 1 before

Please read part 3  now.

PART- 3 The monster under my bed.

Ahh!!!! You're probably wondering why I’m screaming, well I’ll tell you now. Hi I’m Sinead, Natasha and bridget’s friend and we are on a holiday in France in a hotel with our parents and my older brother Shaymus [ I regret it a lot ], I should get on with the story now. I was walking past my bed to get the first aid kit for Natasha because she grazed head while she was rolling down the stairs. I had just grabbed it when suddenly something grabbed my ankle. I was frozen with fear. I was so scared that I couldn’t scream or even move! About 3 seconds later I fell face first into the bed and I bit my lip really hard and it started bleeding. I finally managed to move so I gathered all my strength and courage (because i was so scared) and I looked under my bed and there I saw my annoying Brother Shaymus pulling a scary face. “ you are the most annoying person in the world!’’I Yelled “I know I am,” he said. He got out from under my bed and then I grabbed the first aid kit (still with goose bumps all over  me because I got such a fright when he grabbed my leg), ran down the stairs and gave the kit to Natasha then she put a plaster on the top of her head!I didn’t tell her but it looked kind of funny. I grabbed a cloth from the kit and cleaned the blood from my lip because it was still bleeding. “ Was it fun rolling down the stairs like a boulder?’’ I asked Natasha. “yep “ she said “but now Bridget's head is stuck in the toilet and I have a bleeding forehead!”. We rushed to the toilet [ luckily the door was not locked ]and there we met Bridget with her head stuck in the toilet so we pulled her out. “Thanks guys!” She says. ”The taste of toilet water is disgusting and it doesn't smell too nice when someone just done their business in it!”

THE END

Natasha Council funding of required earthquake strengthening works to the Left Bank Art Gallery building

Kia ora,

My name is Natasha Lee and I am writing to you about the council funding of the strengthening works for the Left Bank Gallery.

I am supporting option 1

​Option 1

​To temporarily suspend the lease and fund the required earthquake strengthening works on the building to bring it to a minimum of 34% NBS.

Because this building is a great way to get more people to do art. Honestly, I think more people need to do art. When I was there I took an art class on water painting and there was more than a table full! It was a magical experience and I learned a thing or to. Another reason is because if we knock it down a historic building will be gone and tourists won’t be able to see it. Do you really want tourists to drive to Christchurch or Hokitika? Even I am willing to pay some money to restore this great historic building and I am only ten! I really think we don’t need another food place or a mall in Greymouth. We have already lost my favourite place in Greymouth, Toyworld and it is getting replaced. Greymouth is losing Historic building I hope this has changed your mind please understand me after all I am only ten! Kind regards Natasha M Lee

Fighting is a bit of a weird topic to be writing about because it is bad in some ways and good in others but I will try my best to get both sides of the story so here we go.

Fighting, well some people think it is bad and others go with good. It is a sport, a defense, an attack and lots of other things but it is useful in any case. Well, there have been major fights or small fights the major ones are like…

• World wars
• Pushing people onto the train track when the train is coming
• Shooting people with guns and so on.

Now, this may seem more like bullying but these can turn into more major things.

The little things are mostly bullying like…

• Shoving people on the concrete
• Doing bad things back to the people that hurt you
• Having other people gang up and target one person and so on.

The good things are

• Defending yourself
• Marshal arts practice
• Helping others fight for their rights and much much more. The main thing is fighting can be good or bad but I do believe that fighting is good for many reasons because most people are good and use fighting skills wisely, don’t use it on others and have fun!

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.
