We were on our way to find a colorful pot for my non stop growing tomatoes. When we got to the door they slowly creaked open.  We walked around boring old pots for hours. Until I ran into the brightest and coolest pot in the world it was a old pot with red and black patterns and a face to go with it. My brother was tapping me and pointing up in the sky but it wasn’t anything in the sky  there were legs surrounding the plant in the middle to keep them up right when they grow really big.

It was a swift of happiness as the bride came in. “Where’s everyone?” She wondered around the corner as she finally came to a strange box. It was a box with strange looking eyes, a pot shape with a mean looking attitude. She came to check it out as she somehow got unbalanced and fell in. “Ouch…” She mumbled, it was a steep hole, all was blackness...

“Help! Help!” A faint cry came over a little boy. The boy wondered over and found a pot with two legs sticking out. He wondered closer as he got unbalanced, suddenly he fell...

“Hey look at that” Sam said excitedly.

“Yeah” Lucy agreed.

“Come on Lucy” Sam said. They started to walk down long corridors until they came to a big purple door.  Sam reached out for the handle. “Wait’ Lucy suddenly said grabbing Sam’s arm.

“What?” Sam asked confused.

“We don’t know where this door goes” Lucy muttered Sam grabbed the door handle and yanked it open. The room was black. All of a sudden they were pushed into the room. The lights suddenly came on. “What is that” Lucy screeched. Staring at them was a huge cup with legs sticking out.     

100wc Week #4

A new species hit earth on March 2024. We have captured one of the unknown species and are holding it captive for research reasons. We do not know what it is or where it came from but what we do know is that it is a potential threat to human kind. There are others of this species roaming the earth and standing at 13 meters can destroy cities in just days. The black flowerpot with legs for hair is endangering human kind and if we don’t do something soon the world as we know it will soon be no more.

Last year ago something strange had come to our country and it was named the “devil’s shadow” it had only fed on ladies that had been seen by this creature. As it goes around the streets everyone and every pet all hid away in fear of the monstrous creature. As the sun slowly goes away the shadow disappeared and everyone did their shopping only when the sun went down.as it began to slowly got light in the day everyone rushed back in side and closed the doors and windows and hid away in fear… TO BE CONTINUED……….          

Creating nets

Today we looked at different packaging and tried to imagine the nets. In the factory a machine would fold cardboard to create these prisms. We were challenged by mr Willis to recreate them.

It was a quiet day you couldn’t even hear a single pin drop as the day dragged along  I saw a bright light then BANG! A loud sound traveled through my ears and I fell to knees squeezing the side of my head. Apparently a huge explosion happened down the road at the local dairy because of a gas leak. The owner just found out a couple minutes and the owner of the dairy was devastated about the dairy but the cops reckon the gas leak wasn’t an accident someone had purposely cut the gas hose that caused the explosion.

I was running through the forest. I was so scared. When I stopped I felt exhausted and tired. I was as if someone was chasing me. Suddenly I saw a bright light. It seemed to be a lantern. I hesitated I didn’t know what it was or if I should go near it. As I slowly walked up to it, I could see that it was floating I couldn’t believe my eyes. i went to go touch it but as soon as I did it fell to the ground smashed and a ghostly sound I heard got quieter and quieter.

It was the middle of the night when I heard something in my basement I thought it was my cat meowing. But it wasn't, it sounded like zombies coming up the stair case. I was just waiting in my room hoping it wouldn't hear my heavy breathing. It was so quiet I could hear my heart beat like a drum.

Then I saw a bright light like someone was flicking the switch on and off. I looked around and seen a shadow going pass the wall. Suddenly a ghost ran past me and I quickly woke up with a fright…

It was so dark I couldn't find the exit ….. The smoke was going to suffocate me. “Ahhh’ I screamed I fell through the floor. I hit the hard wood with a “thud!”  I slowly sat up and looked around, I was in a room. The sign on the door told me I was in room 21 my lucky number. I walked out into the corridor. The walls had burnt all over. Black ashes blew around my feet. There were burnt holes in the floors and ceilings. And then I saw a bright light... “Oh no” I muttered to myself.

I heard a vibration but then I thought I heard thunder but it was so bright that I could not see where I was going but I thought that I was going but I thought but it was so bright that I could not see where I was going but I thought that I was in my mum’s car and my dads car one of these car’s and that sun was so bright  at the hat. I could not see out the window and the train and the one that was driving it could not see where. The end            from seth

It was a perfect gloom as bubbles filled the midnight ocean. The waves splashed on the salty sand as the moon creeped out behind the oily clouds. It was pitch-black, all I could see was shadows creeping forwards and backwards…

I woke up, thinking where I was. I thought about last night… How I drowned and it was pitch- black as the oily clouds. I was in a cave “???” I wondered. A shadow creeped forward, and then I saw a bright light. It was like a massive sun beam.

It was in my face, it was a lantern fish…

 It was a typical dark night, I sat alone watching tv and flicking channels, when suddenly a gust of wind, barged through the windows than gradually lifted me into the air and then pushing me around and then dropping me to the ground with a halt of silence. I was very scared all I wanted to do was go home, I crawled up in to a ball and thought to myself I was at home watching cartoons and then I saw a bright light gazing at me from the distance, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.                                                                                                                                                                     

I woke up it was 1:00 in the morning I heard thunder I ran to the window and then I saw a bright light I got thrown to the ground the force of the light was to strong finally it stopped saw something fly over me I sprinted to my mum and dad I said “I think someone’s outside we slowly tiptoed out the door. I was holding the flash light I felt my hands shaking I saw a shadow in the distance it was something small stomping towards us. it said “we are hear to take over the world”…

Imagine, create, illustrate

Today we were lucky to have an experience in creative writing.  We were told some amazing stories and our brains were exposed to some creative visualisations.

Think it

Create it

Illustrate it

Was one of the main messages of the day as well as, making mistakes is good. Mistakes provide us with the opportunity to try again.

Danny was full of energy and even tipped a bottle of water over his head during one of his wonderful stories.

The "I can't do it....yet" Monkey

After Danny shared his stories we were introduced to Paula, the cartoonist.

She showed us how easy it is to draw a cartoon face....

First draw an oval then draw another oval next to it. Draw a little circle underneath the ovals. Under the eyes and nose draw a mouth, add teeth and two hills in the bottom of the mouth to make a tonge. After that add eyebrows above the eyes.  To draw the inside of the eyes all you have to do is draw two small doughnut like shapes.

 

Three rules for living in the Stone Age:

1. Do not touch fire. 

2. Do not tease the dinosaurs.

3.stay away from sharp pointy things.

It was a hot summer’s breeze as a fishing competition was held. Crowds gathered to compete and others watched. It was the one and only competition.

Rain came pouring as time passed by but no fish has been interested to take a bait.

Sunlight came, finally the real competition was on. Thousands of fish swam to get a bait, ‘plenty of baits hanging around’. Only one kid named Sammy didn't get a fish like he wished.

Hours passed, then he decided to change his bait. He swapped his bait to the weirdest thing, cat food.

Then the weirdest fish came.

I was going eeling when I turned on the radio and listened to the news about the largest eel that needed to be caught. It was my lucky day because I was going eeling and I was determined to get the eel.

I arrive at the pond nervously and I was so determined to catch it. I put my cold heavy fishing rod in the pond and waited and waited then something was pulling on my rod. I was reeling it in when I lost my balance, I lifted up the rod and the ugliest eel popped out.

I opened my freezer because I was craving some ice cream. But as soon as I opened the freezer a big fat pink thing that appeared to be a fish flew out at my face. It was squishy. It had a long spiny back and dribble coming out of his mouth. It had a big fat head. As it slipped into my hands I found it hard to get a good grip on the slimy thing. It was scaring me so much I screamed so, I ran outside and threw it over my neighbors fence and just forgot about it.

On my way to Raglan with my family I was sweaty like an ocean.
In the car singing I was too excited I couldn’t shut my mouth. 20 minutes away from Raglan
I fell asleep, during those 5 minutes I woke up because I had that feeling I was falling off something high.  Once we got to the beach everyone ran out and rushed to get to the bridge, while my dad was waiting  something pulled his rod, then he caught a fish.Everyone asked “what is that? “I answer, “it’s a disgusting slippery monster”. Everyone ran around screaming like  it will eat them but its a friendly fish.

This is so boring. Why did I even bother saying yes? It’s the middle of summer, the school holidays. It’s a great day I should be out there swimming, playing with my friends. But instead of having fun I’m stuck in a boat with my Dad trying to catch a stupid fish. “Can we go home now?” I begged.

“Not until we catch a fish” Dad said for the hundredth time........ All of a sudden my rod bent down.

“Whoa” Dad said “reel it in quick!” 

I quickly reeled it in and looked......... The pink slimy fish was so disgusting.

Cross-Country

Friday 13^th September 2013
Cross Country

As I practically fell over the finish line I felt amazingly good just participating. I felt really proud although the run was super exhausting.
I got a lot of support from the marshals especially Matty and Reid they were very supportive friends.
It felt like I was going to die but the support boosted me up again. It tasted like sweet joy just knowing that I had completed the track.
All I could see was fresh cut grass and mud everywhere. I could smell nice fresh air. I am really proud of myself even though I didn’t come first I still got 5 points for my team.

The moment has finally arrived, my legs feel like jelly. I can feel the tension in the air. The slippery mud sits there waiting to trip me up. I wait for the hooter to go off “On your marks get set… HOOT”. We all took off. I turned the corner a bit too fast. I almost slipped over in the mud. I could smell the damp ground as my feet pounded across the soft grass.  I could see all the people in front of me. I could taste the hot air as I breathed in and out faster and faster. Finally I crossed the finish line…

Suddenly, I heard a crack, something fell on to my back, I turned around to have a look at what it was.
Hmm bits of concrete, then suddenly boom I couldn't hear anything, the building was falling  it was collapsing around me.
Finally it stopped it was pitch black, my body was motionless. I couldn't hear anything but I could see my body just laying there.
 I was a ghost.
I felt a bit dizzy. I started to see all my family that has already passed on. They were telling me I would be alright.
Just stay in the light.

On the Halloween weekends I stay home watching TV. One night my family and I were sitting together watching "Home And Away" and being lazy. My whole family were so quite you could hear whispering, then suddenly I heard a crack in the attic and everyone also heard the noise. My dad crept  up the ladder  then  felt a hand on his shoulder, my dad freaked out and screamed as loud as he could, then fainted, everyone was scared. I had to go up to the attic. Once I was there I saw my best friend Bella.

Introduction to Claymation

Claymation

Today we change our Module classes. For the next 5 weeks we are going to be learning the different techniques and processes for stop-motion.

Here are three short films that use stop-motion.










The next big question is... How do they do it? What is involved in creating a movie?

Here is the behind the scenes video for the well known 'Wallace & Gromit' film.



Our first step in the film making process is to story board our ideas.  We are going to be creating a 1min film so we don't have a lot of time to tell a big story.
