Biograghy about Vincent Van gogh

Hello welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be telling you about my Biography about Vincent Van Gogh a Dutch painter. I have been chosen to write a biography about someone who inspires me alsong side some other kids. I choose to write about Vincent Van gogh as he inspires me with his art aspecialy his work “the potato eaters”. A Biography is a story about someone elses life. I have not finished it but here it is so far.

Vincent van Gogh

On March 30th 1853 Vincent van Gogh was born. He was born to a pastor named Theodorus van Gogh. His mother was Anna Carbentus van Gogh, an amateur artist. Vincent was raised in a cultural and religious environment. He also had his younger siblings Theo (Theodoras), Cornelius, Anna, Elisabeth, Willema

He spent one year learning at a village school in zundert. Then Vincent went on to two years in a boarding school in zevenberg. Lastly he spent 18 months at a highschool in tilburg. Those beginning years Vincent spent being calm and observant and not showing interest in art. 

At the age of sixteen Vincent studied in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. This is where he started his passion for art and more information was known about him. He studied here for two months. 

He then moved from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts to Avant-garde. There he met his friends Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin. He studied here for nine months.

Vincent was firstly an art dealer with his uncle. He worked for his uncle for a bit. He was fired because he fighted with customers and argued. 

In April 1876 Vincent went on to be a teacher at Ramsgate, an all boys school. In Ramsgate Vincent taught language. Sadly he didn’t last long there either

Topic Time Design Process

Hello welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be telling you about the Design process. The design process is what someone uses to design something to fix a problem or awnser a thought or questiion. First you defin the problem such as your brother can’t close the door, then you research stuff like the width of the dor or weight. After those two steps you plan, get the obgects you need and then build. Now after building you test, share and get feedback, fix your design and then your done. My problem was that the slide was usualy wet. I researched, I designed, I got my stuff and then I built. Here is my project. You slide down on it holding the handlebars and the old cthes underneath will dry the slide.

Narative Eye of the Storm

Hello welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be telling you about my narative writing about a video called Eye of the Storm. A narative is a story about something that has already happend true or not. Another thing used in naritives is ‘pont of veiw’ were you could be first person (telling the story as a character) or third person ( telling the story like and abserver).  My story was in first person and I was the dragon. Here is my story I loved writing it.

Goggles looked through the spyglass into the fluffy, grey clouds. Goggles slowly lowered the spyglass and patted me on my scaly head.  I shook my wings in the air as he walked inside the aircraft.

He went on to mark his weird paper thingy. He mumbled about the path or whatever and moved on to steer the aircraft. Nothing seemed to happen and Goggles only stood there like a dead fish. 

When on track Goggles went to the fire cave. He grabbed the green goop in a cup and threw it in, turning the fire cave green. He threw more and more random things in order to make the fire enlarge. Then he opened the gold box that belonged to his late wife, closed it and threw it out overboard! That’s when I realised he was going to sacrifice himself for his late wife.

Goggles went further into the storm. He put the auto craft on autopilot and patted my head goodbye as I flew away. He was ready to bring her back. 

He went on his throne and sat upon it. The aircraft went full speed ahead. I thought it was the end for him as the abyss pulled him inside to the eye of the storm…

The activity we talked about was we packed a bag out of a selection of characters and the other people had to guees what person it was and why they were moving.  My group got it right and the other team got the person right but wrong reason, she was walking away from home and not going to school or camp. Though we had alot of fun. what would you pack in your bag?

Yaldhurst School and Me

Kia ora. Welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be telling you about the google meet we had with YMS (Yaldhurst Model School). We have been doing work about going to the past or future. My group and I chose to go back to the past. I had a lot of fun doing that part and working with the group. Everyone wrote their ideas on a  jamboard individually and we had to find our top three and justify our reasons.

After we did some work about that we got onto a call with YMS. We were put into break rooms in the call. The people we were with are the people we will be in a group with for the rest of the term. The people in my group from my school where me (Bailey), Shikya, Ethan and Moira. The people in the group from YMS were Riley, Mikayla and Phoenix. Something funny is that Riley and I play hockey together. We all shared our work but our ideas where different, but thats okay. Near the end we asked some questions and chatted. When we were out of the break rooms we all took a photo together.

Cross Country

Hello, welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be telling you about Cross Country. Cross Country is where you run in your year group around a big track such as Kyle Park and if you make it to third, second or first you get to go to zones. I didn’t make it to zones but I made it in the top six and I’m happy about that. My favourite part was running down the hill and catching speed. Another thing I liked was seeing my little sister race. My least favourite part was always being behind the same girl. Here’s some pictures of me and my little sister running. My sister is the one with the jacket around her waist.
