WALT: Create artists inspired artwork.

One week ago I did my koru art I finished my in about 55 min 

Fisrt I had to use the chalk to outline the so the dye could sink into the chalk. We were inspired by the art of Raewy Harris to do koru art. It was fun to do art that again.

Moment in Time Writing

About to Hatch

I turn on the tv and see “Breaking News” - “Boulders cracking on Lagoon.”Is that a place? In New Zealand at the bottom of the misty cool place on Stewart Island.

I can see the boulder cracking on the beach. There are millions of cracks on the egg as more and more eggs drop on the beach. The first egg keeps changing colour as I get closer to the boulder. I see a green light coming from  the boulder. I crept closer to the glowing egg” I think I can see the oozing of the egg it is green then it turns purple.

I can hear the crashing of the waves on the sand and the clicking of  the rocks that are on the beach. It is hard to hear the noise the  egg  is making. BANG it smashes into a hundreds of piece of rock.

I can smell the salty sea water in the air. As I breathe in the salty air, YUCK!, I find it hard to breathe with the disgusting smell.

I can feel the soggy and squishy seaweed under my feet as I walk further and further into the water.  As the rocks descends into the water I walk in closer to them.

I can taste the salty sea water from then spray coming off the waves. I stand in the water. As  the water smashes against my feet from the moving waves the sand quickly disappears from under my feet.

The boulder crash sighting is over know as I walk back home back to my miserable life.

Jack Simpson's Journal

Shrapnel Valley, Gallipoli

18 May 1915

Today I survived my 23rd day of war.  Me and Duffy took 

38 wounded down the hillside to the beach.  We are 

exhausted.

Today we had the worst day ever.  I had to work in 

smelly clothes.  I stink!  I had to go right to the battle 

front to get the wounded men.

Duffy and I are so tired and I want to go home.  It is 30 

degrees and I’m exhausted from going up the narrow 

path to get to the fighting.

I hate the blood and grit on my hands and I am 

exhausted.

I want to go home.
