Get NZ Writing, Write your own story

We have done a project with poems.  We have sent them to a school in Auckland.  And we are expecting some poems back.  After we had all finished writing them and colouring the backs of them in.  Someone put them together.  They say "Write Your Own Story"  And we did a big class poem. We got our information for our class poem from a google form.  Our class filled it out on what our favourites were.  This poem was all about Otaki.  We got the words from a thesaurus.  And my personal item was a ship in a bottle.  And We got our words in another language from anagram booklet.

Wellington trip Review.

Gabez

On Thursday the 14th, the 7&8 department of Otaki College went to Wellington for a day.  We watched 3 performances.  My favourite one was the called Gabez.  This act had 2 Japanese mime artists.  They were amazing at miming and had everything on point.  Except for the venue.  it was a bit small.  I think If they had a bigger venue to act in,  It would have been 100% better.  The sound was good.  Not perfect.  But It was very good. 
The Music was on point, at all the right times.  The miming was on point the whole time.  They don't talk but they make noises.  But that is just apart of miming. They don't have to improve on anything miming wise.  But a bigger venue would be better.  In my opinion the quality was 95% good!

Troll


The other performance that there was,  was an act called Troll.  2 people were in the act.  But the guy
(Otto) was the main character.  It was a bit weird.   But I liked it.  The venue was great.  Everyone got a seat.  No one was standing.  The act was based in the 90's,  Around 1998.  The guy/kid names Otto was getting up at 4am and a troll made out of wires and stuff happened.  Anyway,  The sound was better than the others.  It was loud but not too loud.  The venue was in my opinion the best out of the 3.  I think they couldn't do any better because it was pretty good.  The graphics were bad but that's because it was "1998".  The quality of the whole act was over all in my opinion 90% great.  The troll represented The fears that the kid had.  But it represented him being alone and the troll is depression. That pressures people to take their own life.

Poems

Kitchen:

I can taste the food that heaps into my mouth.

I can smell the delicious foods in the room.

I can feel the warm sticky food in front of me.

I can hear the microwave as at vvvrroommms its way to heat up something.

I can see the beautiful kitchen.


Beach:

I can taste the salt of the salty ocean.

I can smell the salty water of the big blue ocean that calms me.

I can feel the warm crunchy sand on my feet.

I can hear the ginormous waves collapsing on one another.

I can see the blue calming water.


Bedroom:

I can taste the air that is breezing through the door.

I can smell my clean sheets on my bed.

I can see my drawers and my wardrobe when I lay on my comfy bed.

I can feel my comfy bed.

I can hear my music playing very loud.


Special Place to me:

I can taste the fresh water when I go under the water.

I can smell the fresh water as I jump in my boat.

I can see my teammates and the opposite team when I'm in the water.

I can feel the interior of the boat and my paddle.

I can hear the splashing of the fresh green water.
