Tamaki Tech.

Have you done tech before? well Pt England school has been doing it for two years, last year we started with wood, and I made a truck. Then we moved onto Graphics and it was all about art and drawings and we made all these cards and we got a big folder to put it in. Electronics was about electric things and lights. We had our last movement for the last term and we did all sorts of experiments.

This year I think it is much better because we have different groups, one yr 7 and the other yr 8.
Our group started with cooking and we learnt many things like folding and mixing and other things. Then we moved on to Japanese and made stars and a helmet.

I really liked this years tech group then last year.

A Story.

Waiting for my father to come back to our village, because he has been gone for hours. Finally he has arrived and as I go running up to him I give him a huge hug.

There is a story about something that has been missing for a very long time, wow look at that massive thing my teacher started saying it is a plane. All these visitors came walking out of the plane and started taking photos of the areas we lived in, after they all started asking questions
about how long have you been living here? where did you come from? do you want to move somewhere else.

The explorers started taking pictures of everything and as they were doing their thing the others who were doing nothing, wanted to talk to us about where they came from and why they came here. We didn’t know but the visitors were archaeologist and they found the famous musical instrument flute, then as they were coming towards us they shouted we got big news, they showed us the instrument that when missing 43,000 million years ago.

They started saying they were going to take the flute back to their country and as they tried to get away my father did not like it not at all, he went to go and grab it off the tourist and their husbands came off and tried to kill my dad

Vincent Van Gogh


Do you know this famous artist?  
well have you heard of  this artist who’s name is Vincent Van Gogh, he was born in 1885 and he was raised in groot zundert holland. His mother’s name was Anna Cornelia Carbentus. He had two sisters and two brothers, their names were Elisabeth, Anna, Cor and Theo. and died  in 1880

In his early life they had no interest in art or even artists, In 1870, after completing a sketchy array of education, Van Gogh was employed by the Hague gallery. Also they were run by french art dealers but did you know  that he was only at the age of sixteen. Vincent and his brother Theo were working miners but they didn’t work there for that long.

Johanna Gesina Van Gogh was the first wife that Theo had married and also she was the first to publish the letters that Vincent wrote to Theo after his death. Theo died in 1891 and his mother  died in 1907 and Theodorus died in 1885 also their best friend died in 1909, the friend had died two years after the mother but it doesn’t mention the sisters or  even the real artist Vincent. Vincents widowed cousin who he fell in love with in the summer of 1881 in Etten. Still grieving about her loss of her husband Cornelia rejected  Vincent and returned to amsterdam.
It looks that he must have loved drawing and paintings.

Thank you Kevin for correcting my work about Vincent Van Gogh.
