Get NZ Writing-Write your own Story

Every year there is a thing called 'Get NZ writing' in which schools around New Zealand write poems and send them to other schools.

I ended up writing two poems, so I will include photos of both.

Firstly, we were given objects which we had to write poems about. My first Item was a puzzle piece of the would map and me second was an ancient-looking key.

Secondly, we had to find 18 'wow words' and make an anagram, in which we often used the thesaurus.

Then we had to arrange them into sounds, I.e : Beautiful, Blue, Bright

Or the sounds in the last letters, which I did. I.e : Beautiful, Vital, Essential

 

This is my first poem about the Puzzle Piece

This is my second poem about the ancient key

This is a picture of the backs of the postcards when we had coloured them in

And this is our class poem.

I really enjoyed writing these poems and you should consider doing them too!

Capital E festival of the Arts

Yesterday we visited Wellington for the Capital E festival of the Arts. We saw Troll, Wolfgang's magical, musical circus and Gabez. They were amazing! My favourite was Troll, because I loved the deep meanings.
Here are reviews for each show.

Troll

By Trick of the Light theatre

Summary:

It's 1998. Otto just moved to a new house and school. He moved with his mother, who doesn't believe him about a sound in the wall, his dad, who blames it on the cowboys, his grandmother, who is reserved and relay visits the house and his Sister Ericka, who ends up helping him with his troll. The people at his new school start bullying him. He joins a club about pens, and they name him 'pen 15' and write it on his hand. Later on he realised they were bullying him to. Otto enjoys a group chat online, but online bullies find him. For example, they hacked his account and tell him "we gave you a virus". It took him a week to look, and when he did, it was a laughing face. Then, at night, when he sneaks onto the computer. The online bullies find him, and when falling into despair, he hears a noise. And noticed a new cored. He pulled it. Attached to the end was the troll. It was a selekten with luminous, glowing, emerald green eyes.

Some things I enjoyed: The meanings were deep and layered. i.e: the troll represented depression.
I highly recommend this show.

Wolf Gang

By Circa
Summary: This show is based on Classical music. The costumes are classical too. Wolf gang is made from three people: A woman and two men whose names have not been realised make up the group, who are skilled in they're different things. The woman, let's call her Kat, had a birthday. She is the only one in the room, and she puts on some music. Then the fridge starts smoking, and two men emerge. One plays more music, while the other does acrobatic things with Kat. They did various things, including: Placing four chairs on top of four wine bottles on to of a table, climbing on tom and doing a one handed handstand. The bottles didn't shatter. They didn't break, didn't wobble, Nothing! They continued doing things, such as: Standing on each others shoulders, both on tiptoe! They made it all look easy, but when you think about it, it would be extremely difficult!

Things I enjoyed: The comedy was great and the silence was amazing!
