BookWeek

         BookWeek
Friday the 19th of September 2014 Torbay school had a fun day going on called BookWeek. BookWeek is a day when all kids dress up as their favorite character from their favorite book. I have dressed up as Katniss from the Hunger games. To dress up as her i had to use my big thick navy blue raincoat and use my navy blue jeans. I also had the fun part by making my own homemade bow and arrow. I made a bow out of a good thick curved branch and some very stretchy string. I found some bamboo for the arrows but i didn't bring them because i thought i would get in trouble because they are so dangerous. But never mind i went to school like that and Mrs Kilkolly was very amazed. Later on after some work in the morning the whole school made their way to the hall. When we were all there the teachers told us a little speech saying well done for creating a costume for today. After that they started from the youngest to the oldest kids walking around the hall showing off their dress up with music going with them. Most of the songs us year 5 and 6 didn't think much of most of the songs were a bit babyish. For the rest of the day we had some teachers come over and read their favorite book to us and we did some fun BookWeek activities.

                  Dance Reflection
WALT: Perform dances from a variety of cultures

Trip to the Art center

            Trip to the art center
Today Thursday the 4th of September 2014 room 3 and 2 went on a trip to the art center where the wonderful artist Andrew Hall made awesome mini figures, where we went was was Corban's  art center in Henderson. At this art center we had the chance to make our own mini figures out of any of the stuff that was sitting on the table, after having a little talk with Amie we were set free to make what ever we wanted using the stuff on the table, there was 2 tables and 2 mats on the ground covered in old unusable things we got to choose some things that would suit what we wanted to make, i didn't really know what to make, until Grace had an idea for me. Make a flower vass or a pot for a plant. So i made a vass this vass was made out of wood, a pen, cardboard, a pipe, and a little rose key ring to decorate it. The base of this was the cardboard, this cardboard is a turquoise color. I had to curve the cardboard and stick it together, after that i had an idea of sticking wood around the edges, so i had a look for some wood, when i found some i went to the table where the adults helped you with gluing things on. After that my friend Abbie had a little white rose key ring she said she wasn't using it so she let me use it. But before that i had a pipe that i stuck onto a random piece of wood, so i wanted to stick a sign on it, on the way to the table i had a piece of wood to stick on the pipe so i did that. When everything was stuck on i wrote on the wood welcome to our horse lover home.

The most fun part was sticking the wood around the edges because it was exciting to see how it would look with that on it. The most challenging part was curving the cardboard because it wouldn't stay in place. If i was to do this again i would make a horse because i love horses and i know what to do now.

Journal writing my story. Joining new lives

                    Joining new lives
                       Horse story
One dark and stormy night. A young black foal was lost and alone, this colt was named Nakota. Nakota had a shiny black coat that would shine in the night when the moon rised, his mane was black as night, darker than his body. Nakota was just born that night and his mother died by having him, he was all alone wondering in the woods.

                                                  Foxsten
That night the leader of Foxsten was standing on top his favorite hill waiting for danger, every night he would stand there pearing across the forest, making shore no danger passed. Just that second a shake came from the closest bush near him, he turned around and waited, "Who's there? He was waiting there for quite a while so he got inpatient and reared.
   Come out right now, growled Aristotle. Finally little Nakota walked out slowly towards him.
Please don't hert me, i have been through a lot lately, i mean you no harm, mumbled the little foal, Don't hert him Aristotle, he is only a foal, a voice came from no where until a beautiful grey mare walked out of the bushes and stood beside him. Kiowa he doesn't belong here, grumbled Aristotle. Well i don't care what  you say i am going to bring him in to our herd, come on little guy, my name is Kiowa. Kiowa walked away with the little foal Nakota. They walked for 5 miles that was quite tiring. Alright we are finally here, Foxsten, said Kiowa. Are there any foals here, mumbled the foal, yes there are some foals but i wouldn't say hi to them, not yet, answered back Kiowa. 

Why not, Nakota said quietly. Because they probably will be afraid of you or tell the leader. Nakota was not shore of staying here but if Kiowa was nice to him he would probably be alright, Nakota and Kiowa stopped in the middle of the herd and started grazing quietly like everyone else. A lot of foals lifted their heads up slowly and started watching Nakota.
                               The foal group in Foxsten
Hay guys look at that ugly foal, Catrix said smartly, he seems new Widowcure said shyly, guys don't make fun of him he is new so we should make him feel welcome, Weltrin bumped in. Weltrin quietly walked over to the new foal and had a little discussion with him, hi my names Weltrin whats your name? Nakota stood there staring at him while he talked to him. All Nakota did was mumble. I am sorry but what did you say, said Weltrin. "Oh, Ah, my name is Nakota, i am new to this herd. "Well if your new do you want to hang out and be friends. " Ok shore" said Nakota friendly. After that they always hanged out together every day, Catrix got jealous after seeing them all the time hanging out.  
On Thursday Weltrin decided to introduce Nakota to all the other foals, the first group was the waiser foal team, each one of them would have their own team name. The waiser foal team was quite nice to him they started to play some of their own made up games, after that for the refreshments after puffing from running around, the waiser team showed the 2 foals their favorite place to drink and eat.

            Altair, father i am back, said Remi. Remi where have you been, you have been gone for ages, talked back Altair, Oh i have been spying on this new foal named Nakota, Remi said. A new foal ha well that seems interesting, off you go i need to find more about this foal on my own, go now, said Altair. Remi walked away. Altair wanted to find how much use this foal could be to him, so he started to hang around Foxsten because that must be the herd he is in because that is the only herd here.  


                             Foxsten
"That's it, Weltrin shouldn't be hanging out with a looser, i am going to teach him a lesson" said Catrix. Catrix stomped over to Weltrin and Nakota. Catrix sneaked over to Nakota's back,"Hello, how has your days been with Weltrin, said Catrix sarcastically." Come on Nakota, lets go some where, where Catrix won't annoy us" whispered Weltrin.  They trotted away silently to a spot they have never been before. The middle of the forest. 5 years later..........
One day Nakota and Weltrin got them selves ready for an adventure in the middle of the forest where they went when they were just little foals.    
 Weltrin older.Nakota older

After that amazing adventure, they were found by Kiowa,"What are you guys doing here" asked Kiowa. The boys ignored her and just quietly walked away."Why did you ignore her, i did the same because i didn't know why you were doing that" asked Nakota."It is because i need to talk to you alone, about mares" answered back Weltrin."What about mares" said Nakota." Well that we are older we need to decide what mares we should get" Weltrin said quietly." We don't need to get mares, we can wait until one likes us or we can choose one and watch them, see what their attitude is like" said Nakota."Ok fine, we can do what you want instead" Weltrin gave up. The two best friends cantered beautifully over to the grazing grounds. They both stood still in the middle of the group and just peered around for a mare, first one Nakota spotted was a beautiful brown Arabian mare, named Rasha, but Nakota knew her attitude she was to crazy, Next horse Weltrin spotted was a Palomino mare named Stayla.

He stared at her and stared at her until he noticed she was too boring, because all she was doing was grazing. "Ohhhhh" Weltrin grumbled."This is getting so boring, my eyes are going dissy looking at all these mares" Weltrin said loudly. The stallions just about gave up, but when they took a step away there was two beautiful mares, a Palomino and a Bay trotting next to each other towards the grazing grounds. The boys had no idea who they were.  "Should we go and introduce ourselves to those beautiful mares" said Nakota handsomely."Yeah i guess so" answered Weltrin."Hey look at  those two stallions over there they look handsome" whispered Alisa."Nah they look normal to me a normal buckskin and black it seems" said Dakota bored. The mares weren't interested so they walked away normally."Hey wait, i want to introduce myself to you" shouted the boys."Haaa its no use they seem to not be interested" Weltrin said sadly. The mares made their way to a grey mare standing in front of them acting like everyone else."Um hello my name is Alisa and this is my friend Dakota, whats your name" asked Alisa."Ah um hi i am Kiowa, how can i help you, you seem new" talked Kiowa."Kiowa wait, me and Weltrin will help these girls out go ahead and carry on with what you were doing" screamed Nakota. The girls were startled by these determined stallions. Dakota was standing there staring at Nakota show off his amazing body coat, his mane was flowing in the sun like a blanket being set free."Haaaaaaaaaa" mumbled Dakota."Um Dakota, ah, Dakota!" Yelled Alisa."Oh,Ah, um, Yeah" Dakota said confused. 

"Oh, you didn't hear anything Nakota said did you" Shouted Alisa." Ah of course i did he said i am beautiful, right" said Dakota confused again."No he said do you need any help, the complete opposite of what you just said" laughed Alisa. The stallions and mares were talking for ages and finally became friends witch Weltrin and Nakota quite liked. 5 days later after Weltrin & Nakota were making new friends, Weltrin found out that his mother had had a foal."Hay Nakota, guess what" yelled Weltrin."What" Nakota said desperately."I have a new baby brother"Weltrin said excitedly."Wow thats great, where is he" smiled Nakota."He's under the secret tree lying peacefully down with my mother"answered Weltrin. The two stallions galloped excitedly over to the new foal."There he is" shouted Weltrin. The stallions heard an imaginary whistle in their soft ears, quietly as they walked over to the new foal."Mother what is his name" asked Weltrin."Well, lets see he's shy sweet gentle, well i don't know you call him something" Said Weltrin's mother, Annabelle."Lets call him....... Revin, that's a good name for him" Weltrin thought."Well Revin it is" Annabelle said in a low voice.

"That horse does not belong here" growled Altair."Father what are you talking about"Remi walked in."R,R,Remi, what happened to you, your a grown up already."Yeah it has been 5 years dad" Laughed Remi."Oh, oh yeah, ha" said Altair. Altair walked away sadly."Why are you sad, dad, you should be happy for me" mumbled Remi."Its just that you were so cute as a colt and now your all grown up"Altair said sadly. Remi walked away feeling sorry for his dad, but he knew his dad would get over it.

Foxsten
One Tuesday at Foxsten, Nakota and Weltrin were having a boring day of watching over the foal Revin, Revin was such a handful, he would wonder around, and take off, and do all sorts of things he shouldn't be doing."Ohhhh gosh this is annoying, i can't stand him any more"Grumbled Nakota."Seriously dude, you've only been here for 27 minutes, you can't be that annoyed" said Weltrin."Yeah, 27 minutes is quite long especially when the colt makes it even worse by having to chase after him all the time, he's like a dog that hasn't been tamed" Nakota said annoyed.Just then a huge shake came into the ground and shaked the colts legs like a an angry person."Ahhhhhhhh" the foal yelled."Quick Nakota grab Revin now" shouted Weltrin. Nakota didn't want to save the foal, he was being too selfish as usual, every time Nakota and Weltrin get into a fight, he always will blame it on someone else."Ahhhh, help me" the foal was screaming to the top of his lungs, but Nakota saved Weltrin instead. The shake stopped finally, but only Weltrin and Nakota were out."Nakota, wheres Revin"asked Weltrin."I grabbed him but then he just let go" Nakota was lying for his own sake. The ground was dead rock, the shake was now gone but left a giant hole in the middle of the grazing grounds. But something else was there, it was poor Revin laying down, looking like he was dead as a stick."Revin"Weltrin shouted out his name and galloped over towards little Revin."Please Revin talk to me"shouted Weltrin. 

"He's dead, he is dead" yelled Weltrin"How could he be dead, you said you helped him" Nakota had nothing to say until little Revin started to move again."Look" said Nakota."What" Weltrin slowly turned towards Revin."Revin, your moving, your alive"shouted Weltrin. Weltrin galloped like a lightning bolt over to Revin, a big hug came straight to Revin. He was puffing loudly, he was so not relaxed."I am so happy your alive" Weltrin said releived. Weltrin picked Revin up and brang him home. Side by side the two brothers walked together, and poor Nakota walked on his own behind. The two brothers kept walking, Suddenly Nakota stopped and walked the complete different direction, he walked through the sticky bushes, half dragging his sad body,"Ahhhhh, Weltrin is never gonna forgive me, mmmmmm" Nakota sobbed. "Nakota what are you doing" A sweet voice like an angel came out of the bushes."Who's there" asked Nakota. A bay mare slowly walked towards him, her head was low down and her body was moving like a soldier."Who are you" Said Nakota."I am Da-ko-ta" She said stop motion."Dakota, that sounds just like my name, Nakota" Nakota said."How cool, i am new to Foxsten, i arrived with my friend a week ago, her name is Alisa she is a" Dakota said."A palomino mare, yeah i saw you and her the other day, great friends you are" Nakota said proudly."Ah yeah, very much" answered Dakota."Anyway, why are you walking away into the woods alone" "I made a terebile mistake, a big shake came from the ground and Weltrin told me to Grab Revin, but i didn't want to because the foal was so annoying, and yeah, I have probably ruined my friendship, with Weltrin" mumbled Nakota.
"Well that doesn't mean you have to run away, you can just fix your friendship, because Weltrin doesn't just give up friendship because that kind of problem"said Dakota. Nakota thought to himself slowly, and wondered if he should actually listen to her, or do what he was going to do at first. He made up his mind and  followed Dakota back to the herd. 
 Rasherslend 
Altair was sooooooo sleepy and miserable he actually left Nakota alone for once."You are doing very well Altair, this is light, maybe this is what you should bring to this herd for once, because right now you are dark" said the unicorn Shiloh. Shiloh was a beautiful unicorn, His mane was long and sparkling, It would swoosh in the wind as he galloped gracefully across the fields.
But for around real horses,he would change his self into a horse looking unicorn.

"Thank you Shiloh, you are right i should stay light in my herd' said Altair."Good job, now go and see Young Remi" Said Shiloh."Remi, ain't young anymore. He is all grown up"said Altair."Never mind, off you go" "Ok"Said Altair. 
Altair walked over to Remi."Hey whats upppppp. Remi" Shouted Altair."Ah, hi, dad"Remi said."How's my boy, feeling better"said Altair."I was always good, so i am feeling better, anyway i need to go my friend is waiting for me" "Oh and who is that" asked Altair."His name is Nakota" Altair's eyes were wide open, he was so surprised Remi was friends with Nakota.
