Please be honest, don’t just choose your best friend’s for friendship sake, choose someone’s artwork that shows quality, contrast, boldness and originality

Whose artwork do you like the most?

I chose Fine’s artwork

Why did you choose this person’s artwork?

Because she didn’t leave any white patches, smudges or any marks from  the dye.

What would you do next time to ensure your artwork is just as good?

Not to leave any white patches.

If you were going to give this person a rating out of ten what would you give it and why? I would give her a ten out of ten because she puts a lot of effort into her work.

A rainy day in the holidays By Latisha

Today it has been raining 3 times and me and my sister have to stay inside but I think that I like it inside because it is not cold or windy it’s always warm when I’m at home with my little sister.

I am just watching tv and chilling out. For dinner I had fish and chips and my mum cooked some bacon to go with our dinner to.

It was so yum I ate all of my dinner up to because I was so so hungry right now I’m on our home computer while my sister is watching tv.

Going to the movies By Lavinia

Today I went to the movies. First me my two cousins and my auntie took a bus. Then it took for ages but we finally got there I just couldn’t wait. We got out of the bus and we went to go get our tickets. After we got our tickets we walked to Pak n Save and we bought loads of lollies and chocolate and then it was movie time. We got ice cream and drinks we sat in our seats the movies we saw was the Croods it was really funny and cool the part I liked the most was all of it. After that we went to go to get some sushi it was really yum. Then we had to go home it was a really fun day.

My Greenpeace Drama By Cyprus

This my drama photo. I was the reporter and Reon was GreenPeace, Latham was Emily and Thomas was the camera man. The freezing was hard because I was moving a little bit. It was funny when Reon's face was angry and I was putting the white board marker nearly in Reon's mouth. Latham was also funny when his face was amazed. This was fun because I like freezing.
