Painting the town blurb

Hi everybody,

welcome back to my blog.

Today I'll be talking about my blurb so without further ado here it is:

Paint the town blurb-

Since the 2011 earthquakes most of the buildings in town got damaged and knocked down and rebuilding it takes a lot of time, but in the meantime creativity is helping to lift spirits. Music, movies, art etc. These are helping people to get through hard times especially visual art, since when did this explosion of art come through? After the earthquakes the art gallery was closed but that didn’t stop them, so the started painting the town to keep giving people art.

The art gallery sartet to put temporary art all around the city such as walls, and even roofs of the whole city. Many of very creative projects have also been helped by a group called gap filler. In December 2013 two public events of art took place, a project called from the ground up got a group of New Zealand artist to Christchurch for one whole week of creativity on the streets and a huge art festival called rise opened and artists from New Zealand, Australia and Belgium all got fifteen amazing pieces of artwork done all around city walls.

One of the first public pieces of art was done by Wayne Youle. His painting was a giant shadow board that you would find in a work shed or garage. It’s called I seem to have temporarily misplaced my humour and it’s 37 METRES LONG!! But it’s not just tools, it also has toys, instruments and even animals. He says the mural is for all of the people that lend a hand when others needed it, and also it was for all of the things that people that had lost something in the 2011 earthquakes.

Thanks for coming back to my blog.

Let me know if you've ever written a blurb before.

Until next time BYE.

#choosekind

Hi everyone, welcome back to my amazing world of blogging.
Today I will be talking to you about how important kindness is in our school.
First thing I was going to talk about is the kindness jar, basically we have little pieces of paper and you write on it the persons name and the thing they were doing kind or right. We then put them in a jar in the office and in every assembly we draw out a piece of paper and if your name gets pulled out you get a prize. Speaking of prizes, the prize is actually a students piece of work. Each student made a t-shirt with their own design on it.
Thanks for stopping by and have you ever done anything like this before?
until next time, BYE.

TECH

Hola everyone,

welcome back to my amazing world of blogging.
Today I will be talking to you about technology and Linwood high school, I am currently in wood works, and the four subjects for year sevens are wood works, plastics, food and sewing. And the year  eights are food, electronics, sewing and metals. So far in wood works I have made a key tag and a model box to learn how to make a bigger box.
Hope you enjoyed today's blog and let me know if you do tech and until next time, BYE.

Duathlon

HI EVERYBODY, welcome back to my blogging world.
Today I will be talking to you about the duathlon, I didn't compete in it but I did help marshal, and I did have a  "special job" for the non competitors (the people with a buddy and just doing it for fun)  I got to lead them to there halve lap because all the people who did the non-competitive race are a mix of ages so they get a shorter race. Just so you know, it's not so you can win it, it's so you can have the great feeling after you do it.
Well I hope you enjoyed my blog and let me know if you have ever competed in a duathlon.
Until next time, BYE.

swimming lessons

Hey everybody, welcome back to my amazing world of blogging, Today I will me talking about swimming lessons, the first day we did two laps off freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke and then the next day we worked on our strokes and used flippers but when I took them off it felt super weird and it was definitely a lot easier with them. Unfortunately I missed three days of swimming because I went up to the north island to my cousins wedding but it was still really fun.the next week we did water safety.

The first day was learning survivor strokes, the next day was with a boat and then today (Friday) it was pyjama day.

well I hope you enjoyed today's blog and let me know if you have ever done swimming lessons or water safety. BYE.

Swimming sports

Hi everyone,
Welcome back to my blog.
Today I'm going to be talking to you about
swimming sports, I competed in freestyle, backstroke and relays,
I came first in freestyle heats and fourth in backstroke
heats and I think my relay team came third.
Unfortunately I didn't go through to zones but I'm sure I'll
do better next year.
I have improved a lot since last year but I still
think I can do better because there's always room for
improvement right?
well anyway, let me know if you have ever done swimming
sports before and if you have have you gotten a placing.
anyway until next time, BYE.

My elevator pitch

Bonjour everybody,

Welcome back to my amazing world of blogging.

2019 I'm a year 7! this year our project base learning (PBL) question

is what is greatness? Today I'm going to show you my elevator pitch, 

if you are not familiar with an elevator pitch, to match our  pick somebody great 

and write about them. 

So here is mine:

What to include:
An introduction of the person you will talk about. Use a ‘hook’ to get people interested.	Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. One quote from Mother Teresa
How was/is this person great and what they have contributed to society i.e. service, leadership, accomplishments, talents.	She is great because she would go around India and help people that are sick on the side of the street
What qualities did this person display that has lead to them being great? i.e. empathetic,  humble etc.	Mother Teresa was always so passionate in what she did and so kind and caring to everyone even if they were different
How has this person shown greatness in ways others haven’t? What has lead to them standing out?	Mother Teresa has shown Greatness different then others because most people would just walk past everyone on the side of the road but mother Teresa  would actually take care of them and help them out
Why do you personally think this person has displayed greatness?	I think this person has displayed greatness by actually stopping and taking time out of her day just to be kind and help all the people that really need to be taken care of
Strong close/tag line - leave us with something memorable to think about i.e. quote, question…. Want to convince us to why this person is great.	Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. That is one of Mother Teresa's meany quotes

Well I hope you enjoyed today's blog

and make sure you let me know if you have

ever done and elevator pitch?

Well I hope you all have an amazing day,

Bye.😀😀
